Not everyone that uses OSX pays for it, either. But the vast majority of OSX and Windows users do pay for it, which was the point.

AbiWord 2.2 Unleashed
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
Am I right in thinking that Abiword on Windows uses native Windows controls, but gnumeric still uses GTK? Does that make it harder to integrate them under Windows.
Suprnova traffics in torrent files, not copyrighted material. Of the content represented by those torrents, pretty much all of it is legal in some parts of the world.
Maybe not the official clients. But the information is right there in the protocol, and anyone who wants to see IP addresses can easily use an alternative client. It'd be possible to make a standard BT client that hid IP addresses too, but that doesn't mean BT is an anonymous system.
The huge difference between bittorrent and other p2p file sharing systems is, that while both help someone with limited bandwidth to publish large files, bittorrent does not anonymize the source.
Umm, no major p2p system anonymizes sources. Many KaZaa/eMule/Gnutella clients display the IP addresses right there in the GUI. The only real p2p network that even attempts anonymity is Freenet, which is a different sort of beast entirely.
You mean your real problem. I wish ATI would write better Linux drivers too, but it's not a problem for them because 99% of gamers use Windows, and most of the rest use Macs. ATI will concern itself with good Linux drivers if and when Linux gamers become a significant demographic.
That's a CYA disclaimer; no one's iPod has ever been ruined by iPod Linux. The worst case scenerio is that you would have to wipe it, reinstall the Apple firmware and re-upload your music. However, the iPod is a fairly standard piece of hardware, and the GUI installer for Windows worked flawlessly for me and many others.
iPod Linux doesn't have to be a replacement; you can dual boot. The Apple firmware does a better job playing audio (at the moment), but that doesn't mean you can't fire up Linux whenever you feel like playing a non-Apple game.
Linux isn't really limited by the processor - most of what it needs to do is perfectly within the processor's capabilities, as shown by the working Apple firmware. What it needs is a bit more optimization on MP3 playback (which has gotten much better recently) and then a much more polished GUI. But it certainly has potential as a complete replacement for Apple's firmware, and it's still useful now for some things (among them line-in and microphone recording and different games).
Fact is, political groups have picked up on exit polling as a way to attempt to skew elections
I don't know what you were doing election day, but apparently it didn't involve watching TV news. None of the networks even mentioned exit poll results until after the polls had closed.
And even if they had, it skews both ways. People who would have voted for the losing candidate say "I don't need to vote, they'll lose anyway", and people who would have voted for the winner say "I don't need to vote, they'll win anyway".

Most recent BIOSes can already boot from USB. If yours doesn't, then yes, you probably would have use a CD or floppy bootloader.

If you want this same concept on a larger scale, look at Flash Linux - Linux with GNOME 2.8 on a 256 USB key.

Aside from DRM (which can be bypassed), it's probably against the iTunes EULA.
It's dangerous to buy drugs in the US too if you're not careful. Canada doesn't have a monopoly on counterfeit drugs.
Plex86 is a virtualizer, not an emulator. You may be confusing it with Bochs.
Not that that matters. WoW isn't growing from 0, it's growing from whatever its open-beta numbers were.

You != everyone.
99% of the gaming population, perhaps?

Not that iPodLinux alone is sufficient justification for a book about iPod hacks, but it certainly is a nice hack.
What does the amount of money you spend have to do with running Linux on it?
You can fit quite a lot of text in 4MB. Project Gutenberg's edition of War and Peace is only 3.13MB uncompressed.
It was leaked several months ago, after the show was taped. It got posted on /. and a bunch of other sites.
It was tough. Most people have a life that does not include watching the History Channel 24/7. Apparently Ken Jennings is among that set.
The IJ trilogy was finished in 1989. I wouldn't exactly call it a "current" trilogy.
The major current movie trilogies are LoTR, Matrix, and Star Wars. Watching them all would take a bit more then 11 hours. :-)
It's kinda hard to emulate a touch screen.
