There is little open source software for windows, because authors of open source software do not want to support microsoft.
Apache and Star Office are exceptions, because they want to become standards and that means being available for the most popular desktop platform.
IMO Open source software is usually harder to use for the average microsheep. People like GUIs are are willing to pay for them. It seems that that is what the linux world is lacking at the moment.
Functionality is not always more important that ease of use, at least that's how most users think.
No, an atheist is quite literaly anyone who is not a theist.
An atheist can either be implicit or explicit.
For example, when a child is born, it has not been introduced to the concept of god. Therefore it is Not a theist, therefore by default it is an atheist. An implicit atheist.
An explicit atheist, ie me, would be one who has heard of the concept of god, and quite wisely come to the conclusion that it is a load of bullshit.
Its imporatant to make the distinction. Either way, an agnostic is still an implicit atheist no matter what way you cut it:)
I think you will find that there is way more content for the playstation. Plus the games are way better and more playable then any of the crap nintendo has produced.
I want them to pass this legislation. Just to see what happens. It's gonna be funny watching them trying to enforce this law.
They don't stand a chance, they can't stop drugs being imported. How the hell do they intend to stop people copying existing programs, or simply writing there own. Never mind try to enforce their policy abroad.
And how do they intent to check emails to see if they are encrypted with 'approved' algorythms, without decryption every single one? And how do they intend to distinguish illegal cyphertext from binary files???
What should be democratically decided (and indirectly is to some extent) is which laws should exist in the first place.
Yes, exactly, and if a law makes the 'majority' of people into criminals then the law should not exist in the first place. And hence renders your original point invalid; laws should be decided by the majority.
I can't see how that works. Any encrpytion, no matter how secure, must at some point in order to be listened to be reduced to raw PCM. Making it easy to rip. No?

Yeah but I brought it back after a week and changed it for the diamond riovolt.
The expanium is cheaper and it sounds ok. However you cannot skip through the tracks, the headphones are crappy and the LCD is hard to read.
The rio sounds better, can scan tracks, has better headphones and a big lcd. Well worth it IMO.

Gnucleus works great for me under win32.

Land of the free huh?
As of you last election your country is no longer a democracy. You are now ruled by a dictator, not a president elected by a majority.
Some Americans are dumb. Esp your so called president.

Remind me... What does that button at the bottom of the license agreement say before installation?

You can't defy the laws of logic.
Is it still possible to get the money back off MS if you buy a computer with Windows PreInstalled, but you choose not to use it?
Even if that was true, which it isnt.
I think you will find that there is way more content for the playstation. Plus the games are way better and more playable then any of the crap nintendo has produced.
Either is mp3.
In fact the mp3 conversion will loose way more information than the analog to digital conversion!

It's gonna be a laugh
Just stick it into an old CD player that has analog out, then feed it into your sound card, record as raw PCM and encode to mp3 or whatever!!!
So long as you don't have a crap sound card with lots of noise, noone will notice the difference.
They are wasting time and money, and will only end up pissing of ligitimate customers, while the rest of us will continue to share music as normal.
I think its actually freenetPROJECT.org

No, I dont think so.
