If you actually search for "Apple" in Google, you're not a very good search user. In all likelihood, you'd refine the search as there's no way for the search engine to give you what you want with any high degree of certainty.
One of the ways around this however, is the Flickr cluster system. Try this search, for example, for apple. Flickr makes little groupings of photos with similar tags and puts them into dynamic groups based on similarities in tagging of content.
Ironically, your categories are three of those used -- the first two are the computer and the fruit, the last is new york.
Last I checked, I actually log into a chat room of people I converse with regularly and get the files I want directly from them. Maybe you're the anonymous leacher, but a lot of us aren't. Besides, I don't download movies, just TV shows, and only the ones I have access to via satellite but missed and forgot to tape myself.
I'd love to see a judge explain to me how it is that downloading the show that was broadcast to my house legally isn't legal. This is not property we're talking about, this is content, and yes, there is a difference.
I agree wholeheartedly. I also want to save my preferences on the player.
"For this DVD, skip straight to chapter 1 and start playing" (for kids movies, for example).
Disney makes all these DVDs with skippable advertising in the intros, but you can't rewind or otherwise go back in them. "Hey, come here, check out this ad" results in ejecting the disc and putting it back in to see the ad again.
Why would you ever put a "pause, skip but don't rewind" tag on advertising?
X11 applications suck. That's why people want to make Gnome or KDE applications; so they don't suck.
You want to write your own widget set? No? Then use someone else's. Feel free to Write a Gtk+ application or a Qt application that doesn't require Gnome or KDE, but you'll be somewhat limited.
Personally I saw this from a different perspective; gamers who aren't willing to shell out extra $$$ for a new graphics card get to see the pretty effects that newer graphics cards offer, for 'free' (at the cost of performance). In the end, they may decide to actually buy that new nVidia or ATI card to get the new effects at high speed.
My kernel takes a little while to boot, with 6 drives in my PC (2 SATA, 4 IDE) to initialize on 2(3) controllers and other fun hardware.
That said, my bootup after that is near instant since I long ago moved away from the init.d style startup toward a daemontools parallel startup system.
Loadable modules vs. in-kernel drivers won't make much of a speed difference to most people on most PCs.
However, some drivers do take much longer to initialize than others (esp. those that load data into their respective hardware at startup or that probe many sub-devices).
I sell servers with RAID controllers that take longer to scan at BIOS POST time than the kernel takes to boot. We don't worry about boot times though; you shouldn't be using that "power" button for a year or two.
I just had to reboot today myself, bought another half gig of RAM for my PC and didn't feel like finding out what happens if you hot-plug it on a non hot-ram motherboard.
Just as code generated by a GPL'd compiler should not be inherently under the GPL, nor should a document created with a GPL'd word processor be automatically GPL'd, the web sites served by a GPL'd web server need not be automatically GPL'd.
For all the first generation DVD users and other early adopters, its time for HD. Most TV shows are being released on DVD at lower qualities than they're shown on TV in now. Most of the shows I watch are available in HD on TV, but not on DVDs.
For all the people who are just making the switch from VCRs still, a new standard is just as simple as DVDs. Just buy the new stuff instead.
Its not that they've restricted the GPL (this doesn't work), its that they relicensed the libraries from LGPL to GPL so that linking against them would cause your program to be GPL'd.
In the "old days" you could link your proprietary app against the LGPL'd version of the MySQL client and be able to access your database server. Now, since the client is GPL'd, you can't do this.
I had many discussions on the MySQL users mailing list about the legal restrictions on this, including whether code released under PHP,Python,PERL using their respective 3rd party connectors (which each linked to the MySQL client) needed to be GPL'd. I was told yes.
I've been looking at 27-34" 16:9 CRTs lately myself. I'd prefer DLP if possible, but its too expensive for my budget at this point.
The spousal unit informs me that $1000 is unreasonable for a TV, since we only paid $200 for the first one we bought and technology's supposed to get cheaper, right?

I'm sure like that would be extremely successful
*sarcasm alert*
Try logging into a torrent tracker sometime; most of them are public and there's nothing illegal about looking at their stats.
It'll show you how many people are participating for each file being tracked.

KDE apps run just fine on my Gnome desktop.

It reduces bandwidth on those occasions where you change the moderation level you wish to read at as it prevents a reload.
At least, that's what I believe the grandparent intended.
That said, that activity is lowest on my bandwidth uses on Slashdot.

You need some grammar lessons (as do many other posters in this article discussion).
MySQL accepting SCO money != MySQL giving SCO money.
Get it yet?
MySQL => SCO != SCO => MySQL
Ironically developers are their real source of revenue.
The worst thing you can do is alienate your developer base.
If we had fiber to the home, and routers on street corners that were ISP agnostic, we'd be getting somewhere ...
You believe that?
Artists have no power.
The multi-millionaire artists are under ironclad contracts to do and say what their labels tell them to do or say.
You can't believe anything a signed artist says, no matter what they say. They could lose their entire revenue stream as a result.
You want to believe someone? Believe someone who left their label to be independant.
You mean like crawling around in caves on the X-files?
Or the video games I have where I didn't know there was a hole in the ground because my TV isn't bright enough in daylight?
I hate these developers.
BD offers a much better menuing system interface than DVD.

You haven't lived in the free market world very long I guess.
Companies lie.
Companies sometimes lie without engineers initially knowing they're lying.
Government regulations do little to stop it.
Buyer beware.
