GUIs Get a Makeover

In Vista, you apparently are supposed to click on the small Windows logo, click on an unlabelled right arrow, and then click Shut Down to turn off the computer. You have to love progress...
Actually, I think you're supposed to press the power button on the computer if you want to turn it off...
You're going about it the wrong way though. On Windows, you generally find an app, download and install it. On (most) Linux (distros) you should get your apps from the distro's repository.
It takes a bit to get used to - my first RedHat installs years ago ended up pretty messed up from grabbing RPMs from all over the place. Now I just see something, drop to a terminal and apt-get install it (or you can fire up Synaptic for a GUI).

Just a Phone?

· Score: 1
Yep, same phone here and half the time I pull it out of my pocket it's got 000 on the display and "send" just waiting to be pressed. I think it's even made the call a few times too.
It also tends to get unlocked a bit (I can also unlock it by running the palm of my hand down the front of it).
I'd get a new phone, but it's not worth it because it doesn't see much use really.
I do the exact same thing, 33 (instead of 30), 44 (instead of 45) etc. And I specifically made sure the microwave I got had numbers, not those stupid 10 min/1 min/10 sec/1 sec buttons you see on some.
I haven't seen it mentioned, but Kino is a great DV editing program for Linux.
It does capture/export back to the camera, has export options for converting to DVD/(S)VCD with the click of a button, has a lot of filters built in (especially good are the EffecTV filters).
I've been using it on my Duron 800 with a generic Firewire card for capture and it goes ok, although rendering effects is a bit slow. It also can't quite keep up exporting back to the camera when jumping around lots of scenes in different files. You won't have any trouble with a newer machine.
No association with the above projects, just a satisfied user.
Assuming an average project: - 13 GB/tape - About the same again for final render with effects (usually a bit less due to cuts) - A couple of gig for encoding to DVD format - And again for DVD image
But how many programs do you need running to: a) Download BitTorrent software b) Download.torrent file c) Download XP2 BitTorrent Edition d) Extract XP2 BitTorrent Edition e) Burn to CD f) Listen to MP3s while you do all of the above
No, the story's submitter just needs to make an additional investment in some barcode software and a printer, then create custom SKUs for anything that doesn't come pre-barcoded.
Then why not grab some digital scales and hook them up to a serial port or whatever and get them to take a reading when you scan the barcode.
And, for the full effect, add a beep sound and a line of impatient people and screaming kids just outside your fridge.

Well, it does have a nucleus...

The AMD VIV?
Ahh, so that's what the banner saying "BRING BACK VIV" meant at the cricket the other day!
Just remember to dust it every week or so. ;)
I've got a plant near me here, and we've got someone who comes around every week to water it, trim the leaves, and dust it.
I'm not even sure if it's real, but since it doesn't seem to be shrinking with the regular trims, it must be.

Go buy a DV camera. It covers about half of those already.
Its slick, light, windowsy-enough to not scare newbies too much, ...
I've had it running for my girlfriend for about a year now. Doesn't scare her as much as my Openbox setup.

But how many programs do you need running to: .torrent file
a) Download BitTorrent software
b) Download
c) Download XP2 BitTorrent Edition
d) Extract XP2 BitTorrent Edition
e) Burn to CD
f) Listen to MP3s while you do all of the above
Assuming that everyone can only download one copy of each byte, yes.

Exactly. That's why we need Region 4 DVDs.

I believe that's illegal, but the rest of your post is spot on.
