RTFA. Everything runs out of ramdisk. So, when you shutdown, your data gets burnt. Since it uses a ramdisk, you can remove the CD while the system is running. If you don't insert the CD at shutdown when it asks, your changes won't be saved. Simple as that.
I don't think the poster is referring to service jobs. I believe (s)he is referring to the stupid, willfully ignorant people that plague our society, cause the spam problem, vote for Bush, use Windows, don't think, refuse to think, etc.
QEMU, Windows, a Copy-On-Write Filesystem, and charging for time and bandwidth may help your nerves somewhat. Take their warez hostage if they don't pay up, and you could make some decent money.
Every law restricts your freedom. Ideally, it gives you a kind of freedom. For example, when murder is illegal, you are no longer free to kill people, but you are (ideally) free from having to watch your back all of the time. However there are many laws being passed in the USA now that don't give us something in return for that loss of freedom.
Someone who would click 'yes' on every prompt is screwed anyway, no matter what you do, no matter what OS. Ask them, "Would you say 'yes' to everything that some random telemarketer asked and yell at me because you got a lot of strange stuff charged to your credit card bill"? and see how fast they back-pedal
Gentoo's Portage handles binary packages quite well, it's just that a) you can't use USE flags with binary packages (one of Gentoo's best features) and b) hardly anyone uses it that way. Gentoo != compile everything
One argument I use against software patents is what happened in the 80s with the IBM PC. They had a monopoly on that particular architecture. So another company (I think it was Phoenix, please correct me) did some clean-room engineering and produced a compatible BIOS, enabling competition. Had IBM patented the BIOS, there would have been no competition and the entire PC industry could have turned out differently
Are you trolling or do you just have limited experience?!? My *El Cheapo* Thinkpad G40, bottom of the line machine, can do dual head. I repeat, it can do mirroring *and* extending the desktop. I'm sure it will continue to be added to laptops in the future as manufacturers want to differenciate between budget laptops.
1)Only GSM phones use Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) cards. IIRC, ATT Wireless, T-Mobile, and Cingular use GSM (IANAAmerican so I could be wrong)
2) CDMA providers activate your phone by entering the Electronic Serial Number into their system. Sometimes you can pull a fast one but generally they will not activate a phone you purchased yourself
A friendly Save dialog would fix that. Instead of the standard 'name this file, where would you like to put it' have a list of categories that the user fills in, possibly auto-populated to some degree from the content of the document

Silly amateur. Layer your VMs so they only see different ones, like this.
Mac OS -> Virtual PC -> Windows ->VMware -> Linux -> PearPC -> Mac OS X (repeat ad infinitum)

I think you're trying to refer to "laissez-faire", which literally means "to let/allow to do"
If you're dumb enough to have your essential controllers and Internet-facing stuff on the same network, you deserve to have your system collapse.

Preloading Konqueror on KDE start is an option. You can choose how many copies of Konq you want preloaded and kept in RAM.

You can switch off the sarcasm. You really could do something like the following to install another distro with emerge
/dev/hdb1 /dev/hdb1 /mnt/slackware
# mkreiserfs
# mount
# ROOT="/mnt/slackware" emerge =slackware-10.1
now we just need ebuilds and we can install whatever other distros we want
If you're allergic to dust, wouldn't a whole-house HEPA filter system be helpful?
If you call the great outdoors "the *really* big screen" I think you need to get out a bit more. Some SPF 60 sunscreen would probably also be good.

Re. #4, in my experience with FAT32, NTFS, ext3, and ReiserFS, I have never had a system fail to come back up nicely.

Closer, but it acutally stands for 'Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission'
Please RTFBlurb. It uses QEMU to run on top of Windows or Linux. Therefore you do not circumvent the default OS.

Apparantly a 'fsckload' of CDs is 17 CDs. Hail again teh days of swapping disk after disk to run programs
That application should be used as a demo to nudge people away from using the x86-only, Windows-IE only, insecure, ActiveX for web-apps
Shotgun? A good ol' Louisville Slugger will do just as well, AND be more fun!
Now, who's going to be the first to have a 1kA supply to their house?

I believe that this is the format you're looking for.
