I've had this argument with people several times...
Give the average man on the street a *bare* hard drive and a Windows CD-ROM and watch him fall to his knees...
After spending some time in #linuxhelp, I've determined that (I think) the most daunting part of Linux installation for a new user is the drive partitioning. And that's not a Linux thing, that's a computer thing.
I especially like the "please state the manner in which you deleted the software" part... I'm sure the lawyers were giddy with anticipation of denying his request based on the fact that he MUST have booted it up in order to delete it, and hence, had already used the software...
"Dear sir.. I used Red Hat Linux to delete all partitions..."
The latest stable version of the Linux kernel is: 2.0.36 The latest beta version of the Linux kernel is: 2.1.132 The latest prepatch (alpha) version *appears* to be: 2.2.0-pre7
And it's on the us mirror that I use... 70kb patch.
Sheesh - look at the aspect ratio on the poor guy!
It'd be nice if LinuxHQ got summa dose stickers...

Seems like a lot of work to send $1 to scotland for a sticker... mebbe one of the distributors will pick up a few thousand, and start sending 'em with the distros!
The lawsuit was attempting to stop the RIO based on laws which specifically prohibited that type of digital recording... sorry, I don't remember the details... but the reason the suit was thrown out was that the RIO was clearly not a recording device. I guess they decided that they'd have a pretty hard time going after everyone with an MP3 encoder on their hard drive, but they were willing to try to take down Diamond.
I thought the whole reason the lawsuit against the RIO failed was that it was based on laws governing recording devices. And the RIO was clearly not a recording device.
This one, however.... Well, we'll see. I'm sure the lawyers love it. They probably get samples.:-)
Well, there is a document on GNOME window manager compliance here. I must admit that I haven't really read it.:-) I would guess that compliance consists of things like: The window manager shouldn't place icons on top of or behind the panel, & clicks on the root window should be passed to Gnome. This may be completely wrong. Feel free to correct me.:-)

You killed a window? That must mean you're running Linux!
:-) And have fun.
/me stands back for a second, contemplating this momentous occasion...
Congratulations!
Sheesh.

WooP! I love it!
Their benchmark. Sweet! Think we'll see it in print?

I've also heard, in replys from Nvidia to my questions, that something may be in the works. I'm crossing my fingers.

/me goes and puts $1 in the mail anyway.
Well, you posted this already, but it's still funny!
