Funny, I'd never noticed that there's anything more to installing it than "apt-get install evolution". Maybe you should switch to a distro with a decent package manager.
Well, if you don't use Windows or OSX, the point is moot; no major online music store is Linux-compatible (although Crossover is working on iTunes). However, if you were downloading on a Windows/OSX box, you could use hymn to decrypt it and play under whatever OS you please.
That's why he said "caching popular options". Most people are gonna want 128 or 192 MP3, WMA, or AAC, or maybe FLAC. Anything else probably could be encoded on the fly; the CPU can probably encode fast enough to saturate the average customer's bandwidth.
The elections went just fine. Post-election reviews of policies and procedures showed the allegations to be overblown
"The Commission found that the problems Florida had during the 2000 presidential election were serious and not isolated. In many cases, they were foreseeable and should have been prevented. The failure to do so resulted in an extraordinarily high and inexcusable level of disenfranchisement, with a significantly disproportionate impact on African American voters."
I've never used an iRiver, so I can't comment on the relative merits, but I'd just like to point out that the 4G iPods can charge from USB (as well as FireWire, of course).
That's because he's been campaigning, and his single vote makes little difference in most cases. If you take a look at his record for previous years, I think you'll find he's shown up pretty consistently. Meanwhile, Bush has taken more vacation time in three years than Clinton did in his entire eight-year presidency.
a video card can cost upwards of $400, and a processor AND motherboard that run faster and involve more R&D can cost less than that combined
There's a lot more demand for motherboards, which everyone needs, than for high-end video cards. Also, processors and motherboards don't "run faster" than video cards, they do quite different tasks, and even a cheap video card smokes a CPU at anything graphics related. Modern graphics cards have nearly twice as many transistors as modern desktop CPUs.
I don't know about you, but I don't know the size of a 3" CD off the top of my head, because I rarely use them. Saying "it'll fit on a 3" CD" is much more useful to me than "it takes up 62.182MB".
Sure it does, it posts hundreds of copies of a story over a long time period, and the same story (in different versions) can be on the FP for quite a while.
Do you think that the two-party system is a good thing for America? Would you support voting reforms (instant-runoff, approval voting, etc.) that would make third-party candidates more viable?

Yeah, looks like Macs are pretty crappy machines
You conclude this because one Mac user has experienced hardware problems, many of them in third-party components. I know people whose PCs fail every week, and I've seen Macs that have been running reliably since the early 90s. Anecdotal evidence proves nothing.
Phrase meanings change over time. The OED says that the "raise the question" definition of "beg the question" is "widely accepted in modern standard English". Please don't be a snobby grammar nazi.
Shareaza is great, but don't try downloading Bittorrent stuff with it - the implementation is awful compared to other official clients. A torrent that can easily max my DSL connection under Azureus gets only 1 or 2 KB/s under Shareaza.
You're talking about Freenet, which is still around, but unpopular because it's dreadfully slow (among other reasons). You can't "encrypt" IP addresses because the program has to know what the actual IP address is for all the computers it's talking to; otherwise it couldn't reach them. The only solution is to proxy content through several hosts, making it impossible to track which host originated the content. That's part of what makes Freenet so slow.

Whether or not it's legal, allofmp3.com is ethically no better than p2p because the artist doesn't get payed a single penny.

You mean about two years ago?
Bush "won" Florida by 537 votes. Tens of thousands were turned away at the polls. That's not what I call a "just fine" election.
You really want all /. stories to be a few days later than they already are?
And then Google would get blocked.
H2 alone won't give you any bang, it needs oxygen to combust.
Would you have preferred he vote for it?

Yeah, and 640k should be enough for anyone. Computer software gets better and more demanding. Deal with it.

Kerry spends too much time vacationing? Have you seen Bush's schedule recently?
Sure it does, it posts hundreds of copies of a story over a long time period, and the same story (in different versions) can be on the FP for quite a while.
That didn't stop the Democratic primary candidates from trying. :-)
Neither side, however, will ever admit that a third party would help anything
That's probably true, but it'd be fun to see them try wriggling out of it.

So you have no problem with signing up for a /. account, but Passport is too "big-brother" for you? What exactly is the difference?
