One of the main 'comments' I get when I recommend Debian GNU/Linux to people, is 'Debian is difficult to install' - a fair comment, and this will be a move in the right direction.
Give it some time.
Knoppix is right now probably the easiest way to install Debian, via knx-hdinstall.
I've also just noticed something strange with that page.
If you're running IE (or at least, in my case they thought I was) and Windows (again, it was a spoofed USER AGENT) they don't give you any options... just a 'Listen Now' button for Windows Meeja.
Okay, so you have to buy an Apple keyboard and mouse with an Apple computer, but I don't think any of the brand name computer companies would ship a computer without a keyboard and mouse. Why? Cause Joe Public needs one.
A good, humourous, yet only-slightly exaggerated from a (small?) portion of the Linux community...
I don't think zealots are what we should be afraid of, what we should fear are fundamentalists.
"You have to be realistic about terrorism. Ya gotta be a realist: Certain groups of people--Muslim fundamentalists, Christian fundamentalists, Jewish fundamentalists, and just plain guys from Montana--are going to continue to make life in this country very interesting for a long, long time. That's the reality. Angry men in combat fatigues talking to God on a two-way radio and muttering incoherent slogans about freedom are eventually going to provide us with a great deal of entertainment." - George Carlin

Virgin Radio are also nothing to do with Virgin anymore.
But there's nothing to stop you or anyone from taking the changes I made, and giving them away for gratis, or for undercutting my prices.
Put's a real end to price fixing.
Apple took great advantage of this... in their Crowd Control advert (QuickTime, 160x120)
No, but software that doesn't support users freedoms is a bad thing.
You can charge all you like for Free Software, you just need to understand that I can make changes to it and redistribute it with those changes.
The FSF charges for software. https://agia.fsf.org/
Back of the net!
The first line of the ZDNet article has the word 'killing' in it.
Um. Killing = Dead.

This is not trolling, I'm being serious.
first they make changing default mail and browser apps a lot harder in panther and now this...
i really hope Apple doesn't start going the way of Microsoft... It's a long way off, but this is the kind of shit they'd pull, if it's true that is.
my remote did the same thing, afraid it's not a good thing and soon after, mine fscked up completely. : (
I have it installed on XP at work, and I can confirm that's actually alright.
It's not quite as slick as virtual desktops are on XF86, but it does let you view all desktops at once, which is kinda neat.
It can be quite slow though.
Cause the guy isn't using KDE, perhaps?
RTFA.
perhaps $2 of eBay listing fees?
This tool is Guaranteed to be Y2K Compliant - http://www.claytool.com/ - surely we need to adopt and embrace tools such as this? ;)
How about this?

Disabled, apparently.
Of course, this isn't going to be designed to stop it completely, just for the average user.
I doubt it's actually encrypted in any way.

I think it's down to where you lived. For example, where I live in the UK, nobody had a C64 when we were kids.
The C64 had very nice sound courtesy of SID, but I'd have to say that the Amstrad CPC was far superior in every way (apart from sound)
My 0.0120625 worth.
I have a T1000, no hard disk, DOS 2.1 in ROM, little floppy disk (running DOS 5 IIRC and QBASIC)
Woo Gorillas. Woo taking about 5 minutes to create the Gorillas in RAM.
er.. on iTunes, you have the choice if it rips the tracks from a CD automatically or not. You also have a choice of formats and where it puts them.
Also it puts them into home/Music/ and that can be changed.
Real nerds probably don't use Windows though, I would argue.
I'm guessing that person meant iTunes' Songs, as-in, the songs that iTunes has in it's library.
Him and everyone else in the world. (might take forever to execute)
