Assault rifles are designed to be relatively light... they're the middle ground between full rifles and submachine guns. I believe a loaded M-16 is like 10 lbs, so carrying 2 would be possible (now, accuracy is a different matter...)
C'mon people. The thing is heavier than usual, sure. But it 16 FRIGGIN' pounds, not 60. Unless the geek masses are living up the the 98lb stereotype, then this isn't a massive (heh) weight to carry, is it?
Well, yeah... I'm sure they were much better 8 years ago when the only thing on the web was berkeley and IIT... Any more "Back in my day" stories, sir?
Avoiding the entire piracy issue... the RIAA isn't suing as a revenue generator, they're suing to scare kids into not copying and distributing songs. 'tis a different animal thadoing it to make money.
Incidently... having been a cashier for a bit I can tell you: No one cares when you buy personal kinds of stuff. You wanna buy condoms? Go for it... most people have sex, it's not a big secret. Other than mild amusement when a giggly couple comes thru buying wine and rubbers, I never gave a damn.
One exception, though: Couple cam thru buying wine, condoms, KY, straight razors, rubbing alcohol (!!!), and nothing else. Had a funny look in their eyes... I don't know what they were up to, but the alcohol and razors STILL makes me shudder.
Not a flame (seriously), but what is the big deal about downloading java and doing a separate install? I've done it lots of times and it's easy enough.
True, it's a big download, but the versions are fairly infrequent, and you could get it overight via dialup, worst case.
Maybe I am missing something, but it doesn't matter to me that it's separate, and besides, that's 80MB of other stuff (like less-funded projects) that can make it onto the ISO, right?
[rantorama] Every other friggin' product/event/whatever this last year has been been "XXX Reloaded". It's meaningless and stupid. C'mon marketers, learn a new phrase...
Unless "reloaded" now means "mediocre followup"... in which case, "XP Reloaded" is redundant. [/rantorama]

Which is exactly how the LOTR movies are being handled...
Bogus!
wuss... real men use quarks...

And as a chemist you know that silicone is largely composed of silicon, right?

is this like DOS by proxy? Like, ask another party to have a third party DOS you?
A fourth grader wrote this with the help of Clippy. The innuendo is that the writer needs to use a little more variety, and fewer templates...

Not particularly... coupla millenia ago they were wetter... coupla million years ago they were totally tropical. It's just a climatic cycle.
For what it's worth, in Vice City you are double crossing the baddies in an attempt to get powerful and defeat them. Revenge is a goal, right?
Fair enough...

They store that increase in entropy down at the hydro/solar plant

with rubbing alcohol, huh? ouch...

Ok, I can see the point there. Thanks for the enlightenment.
I was under the impression that this was an "everything must be free" religious argument, and was thus not in agreement.
Yeah, I got that... by why does it need to be in the distro?

True, and a computer takes some skill to use. It's not fair to expect the average user to be an expert just to do some simple configuration.
Hell, I'm a half decent tech geek, and I struggle to do many config tasks even on user-friendly distros like Fedora.
Should it require significant skill to update the kernel (and know what you're doing?) ? Sure. But to install simple hardware? Hell no.
True, the guy really pegs the zealot-o-meter, but he's also right on this one. Ad Hominem isn't a valid argument.

Or SpankRank?
WankRank?
I haven't used PS elements in years, so I can't advise there. I've owned PSP 5-7, (and maybe soon 8), and more or less stuck with 'em.
check out appdb.winehq.org for compatibility questions. At this point I pretty much use windows for graphical work, and linux for programming.
