Because OSX isn't for everyone. I use it everyday at work, but when I get home I much prefer using kde on my linux box. I can configure it pretty much any way I want it and in my opinion most of the software is better. I prefer Amarok to iTunes, digikam to iPhoto, gaim to adium and so on.
OSX looks pretty and does work well (especially expose), but I have my desktop at home set up exactly how I want it, where as with OSX I'm always conforming to their way of doing things.
No, entrapment is quite different. This would be entrapment if they gave them the screeners and then instructions on how to rip it and provide the content online.
Definition:
entrapment, in law, the instigation of a crime in the attempt to obtain cause for a criminal prosecution.
I agree completely... and I also can't understand why we tip the servers at restaurants... I mean, if they don't do a good job shouldn't they just be fired?
Courage helps in a lot of cases... my fiance hates it when I touch her laptop because I almost always break something (it's one of those pretty little white iBooks), because I start clicking on anything I can, opening up terminals and killing random processes and such... sometimes just to be a jerk, other times because I'm curious, or just trying something new out, but the reason she hates it is because I know that everything I do is fixable, and she doesn't. Once people learn that unless it's a hardware problem, a computer can be "fixed" (if it's actually broken), their "literacy" improves drastically.
Computer literacy problems aren't restricted to courage though. My brother has a computer science degree, but I am called weekly to help him with something. The latest has been helping him get his digital video camera working in linux with firewire... I don't have a video camera, nor have I ever used firewire, but apparently I'm the only one in my family able to use google and actually read up on how to do something. Sometimes people are just stupid... and luckily I'm pretty sure my brother doesn't read Slashdot.
If I understand you correctly (I may not since I'm an "average slashdotter" as you put it), then they new society you invision terrifies me.
According to your plan, the more brain cycles you provide the richer you get... Unfortunately, it will be the stupid people getting richer, the unimaginative dull minded people... and since money gets you power, it will be these people in power... controlling the robot armies. As we all know, stupid people leading large armies is not a good thing.
I'm hoping the day when humans have no jobs is soon. It's not like we're all going to go poor or something... If no one has a job then no one has money... but theoretically we also wouldn't have to pay for anything since robots would be doing all the work.
4 weeks? XML Files? How long ago did you do this. I set up my mythtv box and the majority of the time was spent installing gentoo. I've never edited an XML file, I get all my guide data automatically, and everything works as it should. I would even go so far as to say that the setup was easier than freevo.
This probably makes the least amount of sense to me. Anytime I'm using a mac and need to find an application I have to go through a long list of mostly crap I don't need or will never use in the applications folder.
Windows has pretty much the exact same problem and setup... what is the difference between going through the application folder or a start menu...
On linux in both kde and gnome the applications are sorted into groups. "Internet", "Office", "Graphics" etc. etc... and it takes half the time to find any application you want to run. Also, oddly enough everything that I've installed on my system always shows up in these menus... I'm not sure why others have problems.
I may be mistaken, but with emerge you can mask any package you like. You can keep any package at any specific version you like, and if a package absolutely needs you to upgrade a package you have masked, then you simply unmask it and away you go. Complete control over what gets installed, and what versions get installed.
Cold? You're not getting the warm streak? That sucks.. it was -30 last week, and +8 this week. I didn't shovel my walk, and now mother nature has taken care of it.
It looks as though the cpsc department at the UofC is considering using fedora. The IT department is using Redhat AS 3, and they are also replacing their aix cluster with a linux one. Some engineering labs are also running some version of Redhat (I'm not allowed into those to see).
Besides in CPSC, I doubt SUN will be around here much longer....
So what we really need is a way to emulate linux games on windows. Developers can then write their software for linux, and those suckers still using windows can try and get them running using a linux emulator...which I'm sure would be much easier to write than a windows one.
This sounds familiar...yes, now I remember.... but I think Darl took the wrong route... he should have opened up an arcade and then spent his evenings trying to hack in and find proof... only to be later digitized and forced to play exciting but dangerous games.
That's the kind of password you type out by mistake in the username box and it takes a few seconds to realize what it is before the panic sets in that you just exposed your password to the world.... even when you're sitting at home in the dark...in your underwear... doing stuff.

If it's a mandatory class, and they charge you for taking it... then there are bigger problems.

You're also forgetting the 30 dollar UPS brokerage fee. It's not worth ordering anything from there.

The idea is to fully disclose and document all register interfaces including the BIOS
Now people aren't even reading the topic let alone the article.
It doesn't really matter, you could just photocopy it and you'll have a backup in a few seconds.
because google is often down?..... I trust them to be up more then my ISP.

Sadly, all I would get are many many screenshots of slashdot.

I had a witty reply to this article, but I forgot what it was.

RPM's eh? you sure you're using Debian?
Or a dead mother....mothers are often already dead or die in disney movies.
You read The Hobbit as your very first book.... I'm impressed.... I started out with crap like the Cat in the Hat
If you can't afford a new hard drive, there is no point in even bothering with a player....sigh
