I personally listen to NewsRadio (webcast availiable) down here (Australia) which tends to break news a long time before you hear it on the web or TV. They also offload to the BBC and.....NPR some times. I especially like the science programs at 11pm Sat and Sunday nights.
And I hate music over radio too. I can't stand it.

I'm an occasional mod too, but I mod on the stregth of the argument/point/whatever, not what people say in comments about that comment. (in other words: I mod as if the comment was 'standalone')

Yes, Firebird is great, but the functionality of the XPFE app suite leaves FB in the dust in my opinion.

Not to mention the fact that ATI didn't have antialiasing on Linux until recently. NVIDIA's FSAA implementation under Linux is quite good as is. I don't see the need to give a crap about a few pixels difference.

Sure?
My Creative 8X cd drive tended to eat up RedHat 7 and Mandrake 7.2 discs.
Well, suing a ISP might be the only line of defense here, as we are lucky enough to not have any DMCA sh*t.
However, a few music piracy sites have been shutdown by the police here.

Well, it depends.
I was impressed when I switched over from Linux 2.4 to 2.6. So I haven't used a 2.4 kernel since.
Is 2.6 considered stable? no. All the crashes I've had with 2.6 are to do with one thing: Inadequate cooling.
The reason why he probably used a tech preview is that the performance might of been better compared to 4.8.
So, both parties in Linux v FreeBSD are equal. Both were tested against unstable branches. (Linux 2.4 is the exception).
Personally, I don't bother with stable branches. I've almost never had any problems with development-version software.
To mods: I consider it rude to moderate down on your own personal opinion.
Not that I know of :)
Noo..... I still want my XPFE.

Be nice and don't kill their old Sun based server. I might save them from a visit from SCO

Do us a favor:
Try meta-moderate(1), if not try CmdrTaco(1), if not abuse-contact(1). Should all fail, try laywer(1) and pipe output to lawsuit(1) instead of stdin.
Direct Deposit is the only real 'safe' medium. Especially since Cheques can be 'duplicated'.
But Credit Cards down here are dangerous. Everybody is racking up debt and more debt.
I feel sorry for you.

This is why we have paper shredders.
Nope. Their running out of Pigeons able to compute/peck complex searches.
On the other hand, when the internet gets slower, Google will probably start acting strange.
For anything that I can't trust I simply use my @activatormail.com . The free version allows 50 messanges or 1 Meg, whatever comes first.

For those who don't know, look up:
$ export __GL_FSAA_MODE=x
But then.. ATI hasn't always given a shit about OpenGL, while NVIDIA has.

I thought we already had one:

Quick, Assimulate SCO!.Oh crap... that means if we get assimulated, they know whos using Linux...
Damn Borg.
