If you take your laptop (or anything, really) into an environment where you suspect they might become damaged, then you are the one to blame if they do become damaged.

At most they are protesting that they have to pay to sit at Starbucks and log on to their network.

If you have S96first and S97third, and you need to to install second somewhere, you can call it either S96second or S97second, and it will run when you want it to. This 96 97 comparison thing doesn't stop at the numbers, the whole file name is compared.
Ok, so apachectl and ndc have been written. Is there an equivalent for each and every service that you might want to run? If there is, then why do you have to have to wrap a script around them in order to run them at boot? If not, how is the junior admin going to know the correct way to stop or start something? Well, they could read the script, but wouldn't a quick nose around/etc/init.d be quicker?
To be honest typing an/etc/init.d (or more accurately/eTABinTAB) is a lot less hassle than to install a new service (or take it away) in the middle of your bootscript. Can you test your boot scripts without rebooting? What happens if there is a problem halfway through and the script craps out?

Not to be an ass, but I would like to know why people choose to run Linux when there are more apps and better driver support under Windows? Yes, I know that you can run some Windows apps flawlessly under emulation, but can you cite one good reason why you run Linux on your DESKTOP computer when Windows is available? Linux makes an excellent server OS, but the only reason I can see to run Linux on my desktop workstation is simply for additional elitism. It doesn't do anything that Windows doesn't already do.
Please know that I am not bashing Linux. I think its a great OS. I simply want to know why people run it as opposed to Windows on their desktop PC when Windows has far greater support for new apps and hardware.
In addition to what the other chap said, the fonts that you find for free are more "Banner" fonts - the kinds of things that you would use for a title, but you wouldn't format a paragraph, let alone a whole document with them.
In answer to your point, someone from Debian is trying to get permission to use some of these fonts.
According to the article digital videodiscs and their players have now surpassed the VHS in terms of sales for the first time . Funny considering that DVD's are only in about a third of American homes , compare that to the unbelievable amount of VHS players and it quickly shows just how popular the DVD has become."
It just shows that most people who have a video recorder don't go out and buy a new one, just because there are new models out.
Or it shows how gullible people are in repurchasing the same content that they have already bought in another format.
As for evidence, I was using the most mainstream one I can think of. Do you have any examples to refute it, such as a film with stunning visuals and sub-par sound?
You seem to be hammering home this argument, but you are just shooting yourself in the foot with it.
First you say that sound only constitutes 1/10th of a film's budget, and then you challenge us to name a film with good visuals but bad sound.
If sound was so important as to need 1/2 the budget, then wouldn't there be many films presently with good visuals but bad sound?
Maybe bad sound can spoil a film, but the market shows that only 10% spent on sound is enough.
If you make Aunt Ginny's home directory on a FAT formatted partition she wouldn't have these problems. Of course, she would have others but that is a different ask/.
Now, case sensitivity is generally only an issue at the shell. Surely she is using a GUI, and if so has its file manager been set up to list files case insensitively? It should.
Vanilla Wine would have enabled people to play their favourite Windows-only game on their favourite OS, IF Transgaming hadn't said to them "don't bother coding any DirectX stuff as we are working on it and we will let you have ours".
This manoeuvre, carried out well over a year ago, effectively killed Vanilla Wine's ability to run games and left Transgaming in the position where they could extort their $60 a year.
There are plenty of examples of how to make money with Linux, without having to sabotage other projects in order to do so.
Yeah. Let them give out broken code and let more people work on it. That is why people like to release stuff as open source in the first place.
Transgaming are evil. When a Debian developer wanted to package Winex (as he was entitled to under the license), Transgaming informed him that they would change the license to specifically change the license.
You can argue that Winex is good for your gaming needs on Linux, but don't EVER say that Transgaimng is good for the community.

And that's why economists aren't invited to many parties.
Which definition of take are you referring to?
Also, the dictionary says "To take the property" not "to take a copy", like you did. Big difference.
