Hm, guess I should have looked at the links rather than just make sure the titles/summaries matched the actual topic. When I was in college, at the University of Texas, I was on the siglinux (an ACM Special Interest Group) mailing list. There were people in the SIG who had obtained refunds. I'm having trouble finding a reference now, though.
As an unrelated anecdote, the last time I had a serious problem with Dell and Linux, I sent an email to Michael Dell at the suggestion of tech. support and had a response that same day from his staff. The problem was the laptops using the Intel i830M graphics chip having an incorrect BIOS implementation. I don't think they ever fixed it, but at the time there was already a workaround in X, which I did mention when contacted.
So take whatever you like from all this, but I still contend that this guy is hardly the first person to obtain a refund.
he's saying that with the browser feature set frozen (MS did say they would not be releasing any more standalone versions of IE, so no feature updates until the next OS), web sites will no longer work in IE as web designers incorporate new standards and technologies which emerege along the way.
By following in the footsteps of the PATRIOT Act, and removing certain due process restrictions, like obtaining a warrant from a judge. Then they would be allowed to just hack in because they 'suspect' your a .
It's amazing to think that prior shuttle launches have had foam break off and strike the wing without this happening (according to Discovery Channel). Makes me wonder what was different, perhaps just the size of the foam chunk. It's good to know they finally tested it out to measure the impact. Tragic that people died first.

To be fair, he said Islamic terrorists, not Islamic people, and you even quoted it. Not all American people support the war with Iraq. Perhaps you should have said those who support the war with Iraq...
The problem with Ritalin is that it tends to remove a person's sense of right and wrong. ALL of the kids who were involved in these mass school shootings were on Ritalin or similar substances.
You sir, are a moron. You're actually stating that methamphetamines make people forget that killing is bad? Troubled students who shoot their peers have deeply rooted emotional problems that need serious attention. Ritalin is the wrong drug for these types of problems, but that in no way means it is responsible for their actions.
Wellbutrin gave me chest pains, and my writing got bigger. The only thing that worked for me was Adderol, the controlled release ones. Even that only helped for extended reading.
I've found that just knowing I have ADHD was enough to straighten out most things. I've just accepted it and am thus better able to schedule my tasks. I know I'm going to get bored 5 hours into something, so I try to keep 3-5 things on my plate so I can hop around. Reading just puts me to sleep though. I've considered using drugs again, to help me out with all the documentation I find myself reading. But I've also learned that unless I have a specific task to accomplish that reading the docs for something, just to learn about it, really doesn't stick with me. So I pretty much just stick to reading enough to complete the task.

People in Austin, TX, have been getting Windows refunds from Dell for years. I've seen comments here on slashdot over the years too.

is that a clever a joke?
If nothing else you could burn the AAC files to CD (RW if you don't want to keep the CD backups), then rip that CD in the format of your choice.
don't right code that sucks.

so is putting a linux iso on an ftp site the net equivalent of an open-ended booty call?
ps - I think you meant bust our balls, busting a nut is general considered a good thing.
Make it faster, stronger. We have the technology.

Sure, just ask Reagan and the 13,000 FAA employees that he fired.
I believe Dexadrine contains Aderall. Aderall is just a concentrated pill of the active ingredient in question.
