I don't now man, last time I called Dell support (and it will be the LAST time) the person I talked to had no accent, and her bright, cheerful, "I can't help you" attitude still bugged the piss right out of me.
That doesn't solve everything though. Suppose you'd been working at Caldera for the last 5 years. Even if you quit the minute they started the lawsuits, you've still got that name associated with yours.

I guess if you have a grand to drop on this thing then having to shell out for a PS3 in a couple years probably isn't a big issue.
I'm a big fan of Justin's work, but I haven't had a chance to read either of those books yet, unfortunately. The Rothbard bio is definately on my "to read" list though.
Actually neither. Most of my actual knowledge of it came from reading books on my own while I was still in college... particularly those by Murray Rothbard.
Most of the schools around here won't accept old computers at all (I and some friends even offered to help them sort and fix up donated computers and were turned down).
I guess they'd rather bitch about not having enough computers and try to pass more and more tax increases to pay for brand new ones than to take a donation for *gasp* the private sector.
Wait until Time Magazine runs an article saying what a great idea it is to start your own online music service... the bubble will have burst a couple weeks prior to that.
I've been using KDE, but I'm a SuSE user first and a KDE user second. I'll use whichever works best. Seems like with Ximian in the fold, that's going to be Gnome.
I don't know about anyone else, but I'm having a hard time envisioning someone's world being unmade by seeing a picture of a donkey engaged in a sexual act.
You don't want your kids growing up resenting you and being horribly sheltered. Believe me, I have friends like that and they still won't talk to their parents a decade later.
If you've been raising your kids properly they should have a decent idea the difference between right and wrong to begin with.
Give them the benefit of the doubt. That doesn't mean don't keep an eye on them, but don't sit there looking over their shoulder either.
There's a lot worse stuff in this world than digital images of titties. Better to have your 15 year old rebelling by looking at them than joining some gang of toughs
Yeah, the first group are agreeing to do something with their own property... the second are agreeing to do something with someone else's property... that's definately "the same thing".

China Life is the last one I heard about...
You can do a lot worse than total anarchy, but it is worth noting that Somalia sucked long before the government got thrown out of power.

you know something we don't? I never heard them make that demand.

"or at least make it mandatory to for-profit organizations to give a certain minimum amount and take it out of their taxes?"
We should take free software, and make people pay for it?
"Governments have a purpose. "
Yup... steal from one group for the benefit of another.
"It is our job, as citizens, to democratically influence our respective governments to shape them for the good of all. "
I don't recall taking that job. Even assuming it was possible.
"I suppose a person like you doesn't even vote, eh?"
Nope.
"modern economic theory" is a pretty ill-defined term. I'm guessing Austrian theory doesn't count in this case?
Seeing as you used government and beneficial in the same sentence I'm opting to not listen to what you say.

But you can...
I had to format a FAT32 partition on an SDCard for my Zaurus... I formatted it on a SuSE system with a USB card reader.

No kidding, if Lindows stopped selling in Sweden and Finland they're out what, $30?
I'm just waiting for a subsequent story in which Lindows advises the courts of sweden and finland to suck the cock.
Creating a business strategy that allows both Apple and the record companies to profit?
Somehow I can't picture Steve Jobs sucking anyone's ass... and he's one of the highest paid CEOs on the planet.
I'll do it for $950 and you can sleep on the sofabed in the back room.

Since when do living people have rights?
Yeah, the first group are agreeing to do something with their own property... the second are agreeing to do something with someone else's property... that's definately "the same thing".
In all fairness I doubt they could've whipped this buyout together that quickly. There must've been months of negotiations.
The RedHat thing might've played into the timing of the announcement, but I'm sure they would've done it either way.
