... Which fits in nicely with the 'everything is a file' way of thinking that *nix conveniently has.
Something along the lines of Elektra would make the scripting of changing confs so much easier, and would be almost universal.
Hopefully converting over the stack of old/well-established programs hanging around won't be too much of a pain in the arse. Maybe the developers could provide a 'to Elektra' conf conversion utility?
If you REALLY want to get the point across, have him actually mail-order that DVD and don't tell him it won't work. Once he gets screwed for the price of a DVD he'll never buy a DRM'd product again.
No, no, that's called being an 'arsehole'. You won't do anything except get him pissed off at you, rather than your intended target.
Believe it or not, some of us discovered Linux _without_ the aid of a geek friend. I'd be pretty pissed if, instead of RH 7.2 (which I was back then), I was installing FC2 and all of a sudden I lost my windows partition.

They will lock you in a room and throw away the room.
An impressive feat. I can imagine the Great Pile of Discarded Rooms from here.
You do realise that if we post, we can't moderate anyone down, don't you? :P

I'm just hoping this thing takes off.
... run successful spyware company.
and you know just as well as i do that better ideas are useless when there is a monopoly power already in place.
Just like Samba was useless when Microsoft held the monopoly on SMB implementations?
If I had mod points I'd give them to you. Good idea.

Probably.
> Perhaps this is because their drives are more reliable?
I beg to differ. Three of our five Seagate drives have died, and there's one that's well on the way with bad sectors all over the shop.
I was going to go with Maxtor on my next purchase, but I keep on seeing reports of those dying in the first 18 months or so.
Are there any vaguely reliable drives around? I'm going to have to go for triple RAID 1 setups or something at this rate.

I tip my hat to you, sir. Ontopic, funny, and making use of a repetitive joke.
The depth astounds me. And if I don't stop I'm going to sound like and English major.
I do believe this may be appropriate:

Send to all your friends. Hours of fun.
Good idea. *Grins*
Is there any way this can be done at the moment using a standard plugin?
For example sites where the entire point of their existance is images.
(Yes, pr0n links would be better examples, but I don't think it'd be such a good idea considering where I'm posting from. *Grins*)
Try Rosegarden. It's a decent Cubase-like app.
Just a suggestion.
Or 6 and 8, depending on which book you read.

I've seen screeners that had parts of the movie in black and white instead of color, to hopefully deter piracy I suppose. (I doubt it did.)
I see someone's been watching Kill Bill again.
I guess I'm asking why do windows users hate MACs? How many Windows users have used a MAC, and I mean used a MAC.
We all use MACs, they're on our network cards, and you need it if you want to have any sort of TCP/IP-based LAN happening...
Not everyone uses Macs, on the other hand.
How this managed to get 'Informative'... Click the link, you silly moderators.
Well, there are some people still trying to figure out Linux after longer than five years...
;P )

Well, considering 'Atsui' means 'Hot' in Japanese, I think it might be a backronym. ;)
Umm... You see... You install Windows, and Linux breaks. She we go bitch at the Linux developers now?
Shh. Details. ;)

Hey, I don't see the name 'Bacha' very often. I assumed it sounded like 'Bah-cha'.
