Certainly. You can take the remains of our now dead president Tuman, who is responsible for numerous war crimes in Bosnia. Or any of the batshit insane women-bashing, church-abiding right-wingers who are sitting in the parliament after stealing other people's work for their doctoral dissertation. Or, for that matter, even our more progressive "liberal" ex-communists who simply slid into their new well-paid political careers directly from the comfy chairs of socialism. You know what? Take them all. And have a postcard from Croatia while you're at it.
Yes, they do. Just yesterday, they were still that video cards are not HDCP-enabled. High-definition porn that is only pumped through the a secure pathway is their interes.
...because, this here can be more accurately described as "shit". The OLED lasts for 7 months of use, but that's besides the point - anyone would get bored much sooner with a three-button glorified app launcher which takes up your desk space and uses energy to give you what ctrl+anythreekeys already can. It's eye candy and could be a nice thing tied to some child-education apps learning toddlers to identify cows and bananas (if the buttons were bigger), but for $100?
This is idiocy - any disclosure of data which is unwanted can be damaging; so, are we not to have it? Don't index the files and don't name the files, also - this can be potentially embarrassing as well; and don't ever have a shovel in the house, kids cut off each others' heads clear off with those things!

Offer no DRM protection AND high-quality MP3 versions on the same disc AND lyrics AND some nice packaging - and I'll be looking forward to buying CDs, instead of dropping money on them as worthless artefacts doing nothing but testifying the fulfillment of my duty towards the artist, gathering dust on the shelf.
And just how would one know how much growth in music sales should this "surge" of sales of devices produce? There are legitimate uses for these devices besides dumping your dollars for every new single that comes out.

who cares about the advantage to the one who labels himself a consumer? He gets his cheap (per hour) entertainment. But the advantage to the (let's say) Linux community might be quite substantial, as more and more users are driven away from the emptiness that are his corporate-controlled boxen.
If there is an ad-supported version of Windows, the ads would be intergrated on the level of the operating system (like a rootkit). Doesn't this sound like a bad idea?
Given that they'll probably be using a completely controlled, TCPA-enabled, system which is esentially a media-center PC only with Office and teh Intraweb, no. The system IS the rootkit. It sounds like a perfect idea for the industry, finally making true its wet dream of a corporate-controlled, ads-serving, junk-content-promptly-delivered network.
Don't allow cookies accross sessions, dispose of your personalities and change your gmail accounts regularly, use only GPG 4096-byte encrypted text in your gmail account, put on your tinfoil hat when thinking anything at all and - you'll still be within the System, tracked and numbered.
I've been using KDE since 3.3.0 and it's grown incredibly in the last few releases. It's not just about a window manager and widgets, there are apps of consistently high quality for practically every purpose there, a well-thought out control panel, an unprecedented level of integration between applications, a great file browser, u.s.w.
KDE is, thus far, closest to achieving the ideal of a feature-rich, user-friendly and stable Linux desktop. It is, in my most humble opinion, miles ahead of Gnome.
It doesn't come with GCC, you do everything as root and are dependent upon the company for updates. Linspire is horrible shit, it's leeching off the OSS idea while pretending to "promote" it.

No, because proprietary software that doesn't yet have that type of nonsense will acquire it at the first moment profits start dictating it.
Company policy all of a sudden not allowing him to be evil must be quite a thing to adapt to after Microsoft.
Please don't forget to make it reversable.
Indeed. I have also met some wonderful people through an MMORPG.
Here is a graphic answer: http://www.deviantart.com/view/9410862/
Consumers have no interest in DRM at all.
Yes, they do. Just yesterday, they were still that video cards are not HDCP-enabled. High-definition porn that is only pumped through the a secure pathway is their interes.

The point is not paying for shit and not getting myself into a position to waste two hours of my life on shit.
And I find it intelligent and persuading enough not to see that film, ever.
Didn't the MS's "Champagne" commercial for XBox teach you ANYTHING?

Those who rate linux low must at least admit it keeps Microsoft honest.
Linux is much better as the desktop OS than it is at safeguarding MS's honesty.
Well, it's more than double, comparing averages. It's the difference of 1/10th or 1/5th of your entire life. Split those hairs.

Sheer elegance is nanoblogger. Truly minimal, console-friendly and GPL licensed.

The very (IMHO) finest of Firefox extensions (when regarding complexity, usefulness, ergonomics and overall polish), ever - Scrapbook is from Japan.
Wonderful idea - also, let people choose the level at which they read encyclopedia-wide.
