I don't see what you see in Amarok that makes you think it's an iTunes wannabe. I see all the contrary. But I am with you with the fact that Amarok 2 is unstable and cumbersome. For some reason, going from 1.4 to 2 was a big regression in term of usability. But try Amarok 1.4, it's great, and far from being an iTunes clone. I hate iTunes, but love my Amarok 1.4.
On the other hand, Rythmbox IS an iTunes wannabe, for anyone who wants an iTunes clone on Linux, I think Rythmbox is the way to go.
There are scanners that flip pages themselves like this one:

but I've seen somewhere (can't remember where though) a video of a scanner that was faster and didn't use vacuum to flip pages. It was quite a lot less noisy.
I lost my aortic valve from an endocarditis and I can say this is quite exciting. I imagine I could eventually get rid of my titanium mechanical valve and the blood thiners I take every day...
Oh, maybe the USPS is not to blame... I re-read the part about the stolen keys and at first I understood that the theft used the key multiple times, but it seems that although the information used to steal the identity was in separate envelopes, it was in the same mailing.
What I don't understand is how can USPS be as stupid as to realize that the master keys were stolen, and to not change the locks? I mean, who the hell doesn't change his/her locks when the keys are stolen? Keys are stolen for a specific purpose (theft), as far as I know...
Well, people can love FF7 if only for the entertainment they got from it and still have heard/played/loved FF6, Chrono Trigger and other games from Squaresoft (and any RPG for that matter). It's not exclusive. In fact, nothing is exclusive when considering tastes. I'm a huge fan of FPS on PCs, but still I loved MP and MP Echoes.
It's funny because I get exactly that currently on my setup. My MythTV backend/frontend is beside my TV. It records shows and removes commercial. Another computer on my network has a mythTV frontend. It can watch TV from there and any recordings on the backend.
What was the problem again?
Well, as a webmaster, I'd be happy if I could force people out of IE. But since the vast majority of our visitors are using IE, it's impossible. I can only imagine all the troubles that would be gone in the process!
I'm far from loving Microsoft but I don't understand why people see a marketing ploy in the Games for Windows thing. As I see it, it's a guideline for developers so that the customer knows that the games he/she's buying will work in a certain specific way, and from what I read, it's not bad at all.
For example, the game must be executable from a normal user account (finaly!) and the savegames must be placed in the users' home directory (My Documents). It's a huge step for Windows - especially for games - where lots of programs can't be run under a normal user environment (this was becoming less and less true recently but there where still many games unplayable without admin rights). Then, it forces the game to support widescreen displays, task switching (alt-tab), have a shortcut in the Games Browser, etc.
Nowhere does it say that is has to be installed on Vista. Granted, it was announced a only a few months before Vista came out, but I think it's normal that they try to start fresh with a new OS with guidelines for programs that will be coming out from now on. Still, none of the requirements state that it needs Vista. Company of Heroes is a Game for Windows and does everything right on Windows XP.
I havent read it all, but I doubt it would prevent developing games for other platforms (Mac, Linux). It only makes it so that IF the game is to be installed on Windows, it should follow the guidelines. And some of them are a given for MacOS and Linux (user account, savegames)

That would explain the M rating

Yes you can it's in that little floating box at the top left.
And don't forget the Internet!
But what about invisible permanent injury?
So what do you say? You're "malicioused"?
damn me and that submit button...
Yeah, you're ubi.com account has to be a US one, but that's not a big deal because you can change the country of an already existing account anytime.

He was talking about the summary, if you RTFP
"[...] tells consumers how they can 'continue to enjoy content protected by AACS'"
How about telling them they can enjoy their content, period?

Those whiners will be all wrong since Linux does X pretty well!
Why not just minimize all other windows? Too complicated?
I'm sorry, but I always buy games for current-gen systems. What would be the point of buying a game for a system not out yet?
True. I didn't mean to imply that it was required to make a Windows game.
