I haven't been able to get NDBM to reorder tracks in a playlist any way but alphabetically. Have you? I'd like to hear them in original album order without mankeying with the track names.
Neuros ogg support is nominal at best. It'll play the files, but you can't create playlists, sync in Windows without using a third party tool (NDBM), or order your tracks arbitrarily.
Make damn sure it supports.ogg out of the box. I spent $400 on a Neuros back in June and sure, it can play ogg files, but it can't sort them, create playlists, read playlists that reference ogg files, and NSM (the primary package for synching in Windows) does not support ogg yet.
They plan to support ogg in NSM in "September" but there hasn't been a release yet and I doubt they will release in the next 15 hours. Support's coming, I'm sure, but so is Christmas and if iRiver delivers, Santa will deliver a lot of their players to my friends this holiday.
I've sent a note to Senator Durbin's office to see if they know about where one might send money to help pay the fine. I hope they either know of an account or recognize the political hay to be made by putting together such an account.
I haven't ignored your argument, but I'm on the edge of dismissing it out of hand. Here's the problem - if a worker at Linux-using company A can't be hired at Linux-using company B because it would require retraining while a worker from Company MS1, running Windows, can be hired at Company MS2, also running Windows, and the company doesn't have to retrain them on the computer interface which has NOTHING to do with their job, Linux has a disadvantage in the largest market which is the business market.
The home market, you say? People use what they know. Why, as a normal user would anyone want to learn a whole different way of doing things at home than they use at the office?
To claim that the OS community could never support a single interface as the dominant one borders on hysterical and ignores the inroads made by OpenOffice/StarOffice as the dominant native productivity suite. If an interface is chosen as the "best compromise", the OSS developers can stop wasting their time on things like how big the scroll sliders should be and start working on making people more productive.
People don't want the flexibility to change their environment completely. People aren't even married to the particulars of their environment.
People want to write notes and papers, manage their finances, watch a movie or video, play a game online, and listen to some music.
Computer geeks want granular control, resizing sliders, left hand whump widgets, whatever. Unfortunately, the geeks are controlling this debate right now and ensuring that people will not get to use Linux in the numbers they should be.
Was when he said that someone needs to get cracking on Open Souce accounting and payroll.
Preferably in conjuction with EDP, Ceridian, and the other big payroll companies.
Accounting systems always need to be customized. There's loads of money in that thar work, especially if you (as a company) wrote the original package.
If I could point to a world-class service firm accounting package, a treasury app, and a payroll system, I'd be able to make headway in OpenSourcing my firm.

I bought one and I'm still pissed.

Did I mention you're an idiot who's obviously never lived in France like I have?
OK, it's not that funny, but when I hear it in my head it makes me giggle.
There will be no jobs for you today. Tomorrow, either.

Hear, here?
The "exemption" will run out and it'll be a question of proactively passing a ban on taxes again. That won't happen forever.

And Emily Dickinson's complete works weren't published until after she'd snuffed it.
It's in Robocop, but I think it's also in "The Roads Must Roll". I think Dick used it as well.
Any sci-fi scholars want to answer?
It's clear you've never managed IT for an enterprise. I suppose my 18 years of IT experience doesn't help me understand the market.
You're right obviously and everyone will join hands together and sing as Linux GUIs fragment and fragment.
Organize a large-scale six month long boycott against those three labels.
Profit! As in, they don't. Hit them in the wallet and let them know why.

If an interface is not consistent, a user gets frustrated with the amount of time it takes to figure out how to just get their damn work done.
Multiple GUIs make consistency impossible and Linux suffers as a result.

OK, I remmeber that game. That's a very funny comment.
It's a joystick envy thing.
Jeez! Couldn't you guys have put a little hustle in it?

Collective nouns vs. enumerated plurals - that's where the action is. Less water, fewer H20 atoms. Fewer people, less of a crowd. Less people? No.
