what we really need is BT sharing of individual.[rpm|deb] files
I can't vouch for its existance, or how well it works, but I remember a while back someone mentioned he had set up a debian apt repository distributed through freenet.
I didn't expect that! I thought it started out a little slow, and it gives a very intentional air of a sterotypical fantasy at the beginning - but now at episode 20 or so, I'm loving it.
Count in another person who will sometimes watch shows soley for the cards. I mean how many networks actually apologise to watchers after a series bombs (pilot cannidate).
And are interested in using cvs builds you might want to try mplayer-update. Matroska support has only been available in cvs for a while now so I've been running this has been a big help for since I've been using matroska for my tv captures since around the time of its release.
If you want job security, know what you are doing and do it well. How many of us know all-to-many co-workers that can't pull their weight?
How many of us know co-workers who don't pull their weight, but rank higher than those who do it well because they suck up to the boss instead of working?
If I'd installed Windoze I could start using my system in an hour or two.
Then I have an easy solution, for both our hypothetical user and the author of the article. If Windows is the better choice for you..use Windows! Like anything it does have faults. But when it comes to acting, looking, and feeling like Windows - Windows does one heck of a good job.
If you don't have unsupported hardware, why are you trying to recompile the kernel? Reading over your list of problems, unsupported, or just barley working hardware is what immediatly sprang to mind. Except for the extra mouse buttons. I've never seen a distro that properly sets one of those up.
You also shouldn't be having to deal with compiling applications in the first place. Any of the most popular distros should have almost everything available and tailored for your distro by the community around the distro - if not the distributers of it themselves.
I know this is flying in the face of most peoples experience, but I haven't found much difference between most aspects of mozilla and firebird in quite some time. At one point phoenix seemed to move quite a bit faster on my machine, but around 1.4 I gave mozilla another try and didn't see much of a difference anymore. Pages load and display at the same speed, the gui in both react at the same speed, they both use about the same amount of memory...firebird seemed to start faster, and that was about the biggest difference I could find.
I'd never seen most of that information before. As surprising as the communist lookout was, what really grabbed my attention was his plans for Epcot. Combined with the fact that they had the option of setting up a reactor there for power, that could have been the single most impressive thing in the entire continent.
I should try that when school starts up again. I'll turn in a paper full of missused punctuation marks and the letter u as a personal pronoun and call it style. Yes, many aspects of the English language can be interpreted as correct or incorrect differently by various authorities. However, there are quite a few hard rules which are no more variable than adding one and one together to make two. Dramatic effect and style are one thing, ignorance of some of the most basic aspects of one's native language while at the same time proclaiming his own superiority is something quite different. I'm sure anyone going over this post will be able to find a number of errors, that's why I never make posts proclaiming my own intellectual superiority, I know such a post would be quickly shot down. When one posts that he's better than another - suddenly personal attacks on the author become both justified and on-topic.
I didn't just dislike this movie, it pissed me off.
Same here. A number of my relatives died at an early age. I still have somewhat bitter memories of the hordes of people telling me, a little kid, that this was a good thing because it was all God's plan and that I should just cheer up and move on. To this day I don't know whether it was the deaths or those people which wound up screwing my head up more. I was not at all happy to find out that I'd wound up paying to be force fed that philosophy all over again. I'm all for finding good in bad situations, but the idea that Jesus is sitting up in the sky with a shotgun giving slow painful deaths to the innocent 'for the greater good' seems a somewhat horrific philosophy on life.
Star Trek: Alien species can communicate without even exchanging any sort of dictionary.
My own pet peeve with Trek is the forehead aliens ability to breed with any other alien. Not only that, but produce a perfectly viable conbination of both species traits. If that's the way they're going to go, I wish they'd at least have a little fun with the idea and stop taking it like serious science. Put in some cabbits, dog/cat hybrids, perhaps a talking kangaroo.
A friend of mine was left with only a Knoppix CD for an operating system for about a week. And two things impressed her about Linux above anything else. First, the ease with which it was possible to rescue her files from a dead windows install. Second, the charm of teacooker. We can praise the power and versatility of gcc, or the eye candy of KDE forever, but I maintain that it's an operating system's native support for tea brewing applications that will win it success.
I'm always surprised to see anyone mentioning as well. Heck, I'm amazed I even remember it given how terrible the scheduling on my channel was. They never even made it half way through the series, and even showed episodes out of order on occasion. I'm really excited to finally be able to watch the whole thing!
Real media is a sick, sick dog that people just aren't willing to put to sleep.
I'm very glad real is still around. The situation might change when Theora has an offcial release, but for the moment the only viable codecs/formats for low bitrate encodes come from Real and Microsoft. And while Real's support for non windows machines isn't perfect, it's far better than Microsoft's. Admitingly real's player is pretty bad, but most techy people are just going to be using real's codecs with another player anyway.
You might try of
these scripts. They download the source for winex and compile it to play nicly on your system right along with regular wine. It won't have all the features of the offcial winex release, but close enough for a lot of games.
Hardcore gamers would never choose Linux as their OS, for obvious reasons, and what 'regular casual gamer' has the technical skills to use Linux?
The same percentage as the hardcore gamers I'd suspect. I'll now counter your argument with "What non D&D player would ever read a book? Most of that sort can barely read the weekly world news".

Not to mention that it's to a fire breathing dragon.
The case fan will spin faster, the speakers will be louder, and the "on" LED will glow brighter, too!

Maybe the best solution to the whole "average user" problem is to make a dumbed down KDE/Gnome that are "easier" to use
I know what we need...KDE Bob!

Its called 'dramatic effect', and 'style'.

So I wasn't the only person watching this show?

I'm not trying to be mean to the guy in his time of crisis, but I also wish he'd stop with the 'teh's.
I'm getting 185kbs download and 5kbs upload. Pretty flawless for me.
Or try finding older versions or a linux version of the player. Good luck!!
Worse, try finding the realone player for Linux. Hidden inside the allready hidden Linux player download page!

Somehow missing the link in your post, I went in search of screenshots and stumbled on something similar for Linux.
