Flash has a number of excellent features, which will continue to be a useful and valuable thing until SVG integration into mainstream browsers is complete.
Unfortunately like so many things, advertisers get ahold of it and be so outrageously annoying with it, that I never want to use it again.
I won't accept anything at all in DRM. I bought it, it is mine.
If I choose to violate copyright laws with it, then I should be punished. But I am free to make that stupid choice.
Record companies: I will never purchase anything in DRM. You won't get a cent from me in that case. You'll lose more money to DRM than supposed "warez kids".
Maybe it was a first generation but this is how we were given injections when joining the US military, you just stood in line and waited your turn for a gun-like object with several tubes running from it to other equipment, and PSSSFFFT WHAM... It wasn't plesant.
All I care about is if these are 100% raid, unlike a seemingly increasing number of cards. In windows you might do alright, but anything else, look out.
In linux you will be treating such cards as a software raid array. Kind of defeats the point of buying "hardware" in the first place.
Another consideration is that in the Windoze world, you pretty much have to have a full-blown installation for each user. Yes, I know you can do thin-clients with windows too, but there isn't an easy and inexpensive way to do this for small businesses.
I work for a small business. We have one Windows 2003 Terminal Server, and around 30 - 50 clients running PXES linux as thin clients, connecting via RDP with rdesktop. Most of these machines are P3 500's with 64 or even 32MB ram, and no disks.
We do it just fine, in fact, we do it far better than with full installs.
Right now, many distributions are concentrating on other materials, like making their distributions easy to use, and making sure they work well with all the different hardware.
They can only go so far, seeing as more and more hardware manufacturers are playing hardball and not releasing specs.

The smaller the penis, the larger the vehicle has to be.
Interesting. I've always liked not being locked into one large window, and able to move things about as I wish.
That is to say, I prefer gimp's approach.
How can a student respond to such an accusation in order to defend the validity of BitTorrent and continue to benefit from its legitimate uses?
You can't. It's their network. When you're paying for the access (specifically for it, and you own it), then you can bitch.
Note that I strongly disagree with what they've done.
Partially Opens Proprietary XML Format
1) Partially is not open
2) Proprietary XML? Huh?

I guess what I haven't seen asked yet is:
Why is this not fixed yet?
C'mon Google.
Funny how often users etc bitch about open source and here we're using mp3.
Way to go.

Portage in gentoo definately does. Screw the whiners, try it yourself. Don't like it, kick it off.
Why yes, it's GONZO Journalism!@!

Wankers (the manufacturers).

Please correct.
For more fun use the -U flag for wget, passes the string on as the referrer.
Such as:
-U "SLASHDOTTED 1.0/A"
-U "AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, THEN HEY FUCK YOU"
-U "[insert long string here to flood logs]"
etc.
I'm using firefox, anyone else doing so notice the page bouncing up and down a few pixels every few seconds?
I bailed on the first page over that.

If it doesn't work out, do NOT blame the distros.
"RPM" says it all: Shit.
I live in a very bad neighborhood, so mine is a variance of "WhoreHouse".
Just check any benchmark of DOOM3 in windows x linux. The result is always, linux is slower, and more difficult to install and conigure the drivers.
Heh, nice troll.
Maybe with a shitty ATI card, talk to people who have nvidia cards and run windows and linux, you'll find them loving the speed in linux.
Get back under your bridge.
Asking any linux mailing list, group or irc channel could have told you to stay away from ATI.
I had an ATI a while back, and things were okay then, but their drivers have gone so far downhill it's sad.
Nvidia is the way to go on linux.
Wait, they're so secret that they use an unecrypted protocol? Probably default ports no less.
Gimme a break, I smell rotten fish.
While trying to retrieve the URL: http://www.crypto.com/papers/safelocks.pdf
The following error was encountered:
Unable to determine IP address from host name for www.crypto.com
The dnsserver returned:
No DNS records
That's helpful.
I think all this sucks, yes. But I don't see what the big deal is.
If you don't like it, spread the word, but above all, DO NOT give them YOUR MONEY.
