Let them spend several months living in a cardboard box after their parents are dead and they lose the house. It might give them an incentive to move up to human from humanoid underground basement dweller.
Yes PDF is marvelous "No you can't print this document scumbag" "No you can't save a copy cretin" "No you can't extract the pretty pictures asshole". I've run into it and it's a show stopper.
KDE is not windows and windows is here to stay for the foreseeable future. That is partly microsoft at work but it's also some serious usability and other problems with distributions using either a Linux or BSD kernel.
I have a useless think pad that for a time was my picture server. I used redhat and booted a floppy and then used a driver floppy for my NIC. This let me install just what I needed from a server over the internet. I killed the RPM database for some reason I don't recall and could NOT find anyone who catered to boot floppy installs. Granted I could have fought and beaten on it and a local PC to do it but I gave up and used another junk one with a CD in it to install Damn Small Linux. It's clean and it's cool and right now it's running some ethernet testing at work.
The local biased rag is dying. They lost most of the good local coverage reporters when they Gannett ate them. They kept shrinking the comics which is the only other reason besides local coverage to buy them now. All you get is regurgitated AP/AFP papblum. And recently they shaved so much off the width that it does not fill the width of the newspaper box *window*.
Editorials and opinion pieces were center with a mild conservative bias except in social areas, now that Gannett owns it they're biased left and boarderline looney at times.
They get for free multi-billion dollar valued airwaves all over the country. That '2%' you cite is more if you consider the taxes not collected from the 98 percent donated. So I own their output until I'm paid back my share of that plus interest plus whatever fees they do not pay on the FCC license going back when they got their bucket of largess.
We already have all of this without the bloat blob that has irrelevant crap in it. Adobe set up a binary server for it's product for various flavors of linux and if they do the code right it works. All I had to do was add them into my repository list.
If they need some means of collecting money or locking it to only my PC that may be difficult but free is easy. Non-free would probably need a physical or internet dongle if they needed that level of paranoia.
I want an Erickson before Sony made it shit. I miss my brick phone. If I want a PC I'll carry a netbook or laptop. If I could get a netbook with cellphone and skype capability which worked with a bluetooth headset I'd get it. I've not had a lot of time to see if there's anything reliable.

This is not news it's an obvious hack which has been known since last century.
If you want to make a computer that cannot be surreptitiously compromised in this way you're going to have to do a whole hell of a lot of engineering and testing. The same ones you'd use to make a -not so smart- card.
If google searching is any indication they're losing data about what I said on usenet in the 90s. I should have documented this loss more accurately but I'd say a good 30 percent is missing. They had all of it from when they bought the archives so I don't know why some of it is missing. Unless some special effort is made to protect this data I don't see it as lasting more than 10-20 years.
What if trees detect that there is a solar minimum and grow bigger in response to it because trees that grew bigger in the past during solar minimums survived.
It will only let you control an application WHILE IT IS PLAYING. Try setting the volume of some stupid ping that's one second long +50db in that second.
They got their judgement. Now will they become for profit lawsuit machine or will they actually make something worth downloading? I suppose at some point I'll have to play that version of D&D but it sounds about as boring as some of the eternal leveling before the fun starts MMORGs.
And yes it's wrong but it is obligatory. It's one of the fascinating facets of the Streisand effect.

While you're at it write one in assembler as a replacement for the Apple II and 1541 so us retrogeeks can store MORE on a floppy. ;)
I know of all the compression schemes but this block level stuff is fascinating.

The old one is going to be a range dummy.
Just make it surreptitious and record relevant things.
What is your opinion of the SheevaPlug?

Yep. I want a big fat chunk of CoS and every other church to start with.
I don't need to fix my car I pay grease monkeys to do that.

The law gags the churches and ham radio operators which I will accept if it's applied to NPR.

Dammit you should post under your 'real' nym so I could send you a gift card number with enough on it for a couple of spendy large pizzas! Brat.
And the ones that won't turn off get burned out of their homes and driven to other countries or to the US?
