Only Amex and Discover left. I've suspended use of my Mastercard since the incident and have been looking into switching to Discover or Amex. Did you know Discover has 3x higher processing fees than the Big 2, and is generally a massive PITA for businesses to deal with? That's why nobody uses them. Amex's processing fees are almost as high.
Actually Discover's processing fees are on par with VISA and Mastercard. It's AMEX who charge double or triple what the others charge.
I was at the Collaboration Summit and am surprised by the comment of "Lack of attention to desktop Linux." According to the agenda, there was a Desktop Panel on day 1, and all day Desktop Workgroup meetings on days 2 and 3. That doesn't seem like a lack of attention to desktop Linux to me. I attended the Desktop Panel and part of the Desktop Workgroup meeting and they seemed like attention to desktop Linux rather than a lack thereof.
$499 is about $20 more than I paid for my Xbox 360 Elite (120GB hard drive, HDMI). I was surprised how much the PS2 was being pushed at the store where I bought my Xbox. They had numerous PS3s available and only a few Xbox 360s and Wiis. Sony's definitely lost the gaming crown. If they want a chance of regaining it, they need to drop the prices even more.
The Gallery Project hasn't yet seen a big interest in the 2007 Summer of Code. We'd like to encourage all interested students to apply before the deadline. Please don't wait until the last minute!
Students should feel free to submit their own project idea. In fact, we strongly suggest you submit your own project idea and have updated our ideas page to reflect this. You don't have to start from scratch - our "Create your own idea!" section has links to several areas with possible ideas. The Sample Ideas on our ideas page are just examples - they're not necessarily a higher priority than any other feature request.
We'd also like to encourage you to apply for multiple projects. We've seen several applications for the same project and we can only select one student for each project.
If you have any questions, feel free to talk to us on our Summer of Code mailing list or in #gallery on irc.freenode.net
Good luck!

I don't find it odd at all. I'm involved with several FLOSS projects and one of them recently researched starting its own foundation (non-profit) or corporation (for profit). Everyone I talked to (including people associated with the Mozilla Foundation and the Python and Apache Software Foundations) recommended starting a for profit corporation. The restrictions placed on federally tax exempt (501(c)(3)) organizations was too great in their opinion. With a for profit corporation, you have much fewer restrictions.
While it would be terrible for an ISP to block Google or Amazon, it probably won't happen because neither service puts a strain on their resources. But there are internet uses which do put a strain on an ISPs resources. For example, while this isn't true today, it is quite possible that we will download DVDs which, even compressed using XVID or something, will still be a couple gigs a piece (maybe as low as 1GB). Imagine a Netflix/Napster-like subscription service for video downloads!
Last night, I saw a service like this advertised on TV, vongo.com. I wonder how much bandwidth that service requires. ABC currently allows you to watch full episodes of a handful of their shows also.
My first computer was also a Timex Sinclair 1000. The keyboard in my original Timex broke and we ended up getting rid of it. I kept the books full of BASIC programs and input them on my first PC too. I got nostalgic a few years ago and bought another Timex Sinclair 1000 (and a B&W TV) off of eBay. Now I just need to find a tape player to use with it.
Gallery 2 has a migration module that allows you to import pictures from Gallery 1 into Gallery 2.
Re:How are the Debian packages?

Gallery 2.0 Released

· Score: 4, Informative
I'm the Debian package maintainer for both gallery1 and gallery2. The gallery2 package is completely separate from the gallery1 package - you can install/use both simultaneously if you wish. Using the gallery2 migration module, you can migrate from Gallery 1 to Gallery2.
FWIW, I uploaded version 2.0-1 of the Debian gallery2 package this afternoon - it should be available in Debian unstable as of this afternoon's archive run.

A Mac Mini sized Dell Zino with HDMI starts at $249.99.
I've got an LG Voyager and it's got the row for numbers.

I doubt it.
That's odd, considering the Abeline NOC is at IUPUI (Indiana University/Purdue University at Indianapolis) in Indianapolis.

They're referring to whitehouse.com, which used to be a porn site.
1. It's lapsed
According to uspto.gov, the Debian trademark is still live. Why do you say it's lapsed?
Odd that Google would take a for-profit route

It's amazing how often the facts of the McDonald's coffee case get misrepresented.

TimeWarner does not own Comcast, nor does TimeWarnerCable have exclusive ownership of RoadRunner.
