So it's like when you take your car to the dealer and and you pay $50 get fed a line of BS about the car's computer needing to be replaced, and then you take it to the neighborhood mechanic and pay him $10 to replace a spark plug. If a good mechanic was used in the first place, only one guy would get paid. It's a win-win!
First they came for the porn apps and I did not speak out -- because I did not like porn Then they came for the wi-fi apps, and I did not speak out -- because I did not use wi-fi Then they came for my apps -- and there was no one left to speak out for me.
And for those of you who are wanting to tell me "but Firefox just joins all startups into the same process and only gives you a new window". Well, I defeated that by dynamically creating a new home directory on the fly for each startup, populating it with a template set of files Firefox expects, setting the HOME environment variable to that path, and starting the Firefox process. So the scanning of my browser is limited to just what this one I use for Slashdot has visited recently.
If you didn't want to go through all of that hassle, you could have just done:
env MOZ_NO_REMOTE=1 firefox --ProfileManager
It starts a new firefox instance and gives you the option of creating a new profile for a site. Comes in handy for me.

You're doing it wrong. If your sound drivers don't work, cut your losses, submit a bug report, and deal as if your sound card company didn't make drivers for linux. If you still have to hack around to get a driver to work, it's no better than not having a driver. Complain to the manufacture for better linux support. If for some reason you want to deal with config files to get your sound card to work, don't fault linux for it, but at least you have decent support from the ubuntu forums.
As for the video, for about 90% of the users, there is no reason AT ALL to touch the xorg.conf. It just works. If you have an nvidia or ATI card, you have two options (in ubuntu), use the open source drivers, or use the "Restricted Drivers" program to get the proprietary drivers. That's it. No going to nvidia's website, no downloading kernel headers, no editing xorg.confs.
NTFS support has been working in ubuntu for quite a while now, and if it's not working for you, you may want to do a chkdisk on the partition or make sure the partiton isn't hibernated (ntfs-3g doesn't mount hibernated ntfs partitions).
Attending a church that tells you to hate whitey every week when you actually aren't racist wouldn't be all that enjoyable.
I don't thing that "hate whitey" is a cental tenet of this church. I don't even think the quoted sermons were suppose to make you "hate whitey", but even if it was, it probably wasn't preached about every sunday. Besides, not listening to a position just because you don't agree makes you closed minded. You should always be open to hearing new ideas -- even if they are crazy.
What's wrong with using T1me Out as a password? It has everything that qualifies it to be strong: upper case, lower case, numerics, and even a special charater (space). The only possible thing I could see wrong is that it does contain a dictionary word, but other than that, it's solid.
There is something wrong here. Correct me if I'm wrong but the blaster worm didn't force a reboot on W2k machines. It would do some funky things with explorer but it didn't force it to reboot. Only in XP did that happen

If they eliminated all the porn on the net, there would be one site left: bringbacktheporn.com

This has to be the worst idea ever put forth on slashdot....ever
There is, look up pam_ccreds

So does that mean that if you're good at RTS games, you are neurotic?
Are you actually suggesting that fat people swim to lose weight?
*Shudder*

That sucks that TorrentSpy now has to log everything but what if the RAM was encrypted?
I thought it was 404
Isn't that a 1/x^2-shaped tower.
Yeah what about all the GOOD things Hitler did?

I believe kuwan said that he would "eat [his] hat if Jobs announces a switch to Intel chips "
