there's something rotten going on in Europe, then, because the typical CD in the U.S. costs between $10.99 and $16.99. I wonder if it's exorbitant taxes or outright price-fixing.
you clearly haven't spoken to windows tech support customers recently. it doesn't matter *what* they're running... you're going to have to talk them through it in painful detail.
at least with redhat, you won't be giving them the click-by-click on all those viruses and crap in addition to solving their real problem.
maybe part of the reason you like KDE so much is not *just* that it's an excellent desktop enviroment, but the great applications on the system you're running? personally, I can't think of another *n?x besides Linux where sound, accelerated video, CD recording, etc. are so easy to set up -- I certainly don't want to re-learn all that on Solaris, do you?
well, to be sure, the GIMP is still lacking some important functionality vis-a-vis Photoshop, and its interface is not yet on par. but it *is* much closer than a lot of Photoshop users are letting on. GIMP 2 makes major strides in those areas.
whether *you* can do anything with the source code is not the point. if it's open source, you know that *others* can work to improve it, and you can benefit from their contributions.
maybe it's just me, but every time I stop in to visit #gentoo, the channel topic is always something like "glibc borked! use the liveCD and http://tinyurl.com/blahblah".
I have a box full of emu10k1 (sb live) and ens1371 (sb 128 pci) cards, because they *just* *work* *so* *friggin'* *well* in linux.
one of the ens1371's won't work using the windows driver. it works fine with the linux driver. I think the author of the article needs to realize that there are sound hardware support issues on every platform... windows and linux included.
it's worth it for the extra features. built-in microphone, line-in recording to WAV or real-time MP3 encoding, FM receiver/transmitter... and it's not *that* much bigger. but it is about half the price.
the neuros is also upgradable -- by swapping backpacks. I can pick an ipod-sized 128MB flash backpack, my 20GB HD backpack, upgrade to a neuros-manufactured 30 or 40GB backpack... or upgrade it myself with an off-the-shelf 2.5" laptop HDD.
plus, if I hear something I like on the radio, all I've got to do is hit the orange HiSi button, and the next time I sync with my computer, it will look it up on the internet and tell me the artist and title.
sounds like something that will consume enormous amounts of CPU and memory, while at the same time causing the browser history to display about 75% less information on the screen, in 4 times the space.
a more useful implementation could rely on intelligently excerpting web pages, and tracking things like "did I submit a form here" or "did I start a download from this page"... the things we're really trying to remember when visiting our browsing history.
visual representations are often a crutch for when we simply cannot come up with anything else.
well, i use home-made guitar bows. i string them with heavy fishing line, and sand the surface of the line so it will hold the rosin. works pretty well, and the monofilament is much cheaper than hair & lasts longer under abuse.
I'm sorry, but I prefer the file selector. Dragging an icon from my text editor screen into a directory window makes absolutely no sense to me. Please don't encourage people to remove file selectors from the applications I use.

...or is that heat coming from their current products? ;-)
and with 512mb you could store ... 2 albums!

I run a messageboard. I have a robots.txt. it's done a damn fine good job of keeping google out. would you like me to send you a copy?

the only thing that could possibly mean is "woody and sarge".
apt-get dist-upgrade
there is no data .... only XUL.
it reads kind of like spam, using a lot of strange buzzwords ("windows environment subsystem"??) and a bizarre, apocryphal account of linux and WINE.
realistically, they'll probably just charge so much for it that it dilutes the linux TCO advantage.

no, apple aren't a convicted monopolist. but they are hardware-software *cartel* jockeys.

can your iPod do that...?
and YES, it plays ogg vorbis!
