Yeah, for the average user there may be situations when it's not implemented in a way which fits you yet.
That it can be fixed doesn't help much, not much is stopping people from rewriting many of the parts they don't like in Windows or OS X either. Sure it may involve rewriting a complete finder like application on your own instead of just changing parts of the source-code, but it can still be done.
Anyway, far from all computer users is capable of writing such code and applications so that old somewhat stupid answer don't help much =P. The good thing with the open ones is that it's easier to fix things the way you want them thanks to available code and eventually more likely that everyone else will reap the benefits of said fix to.
Apple iPhones, iPod Touch and Microsoft Zune devices are not yet supported. Yeah, big contender.
So don't get a retarded proprietary music player*. Also I guess they never claim to be a manager for your music players, it's an application for playing music on your computer. * It's not their fault you don't think before you buy.
From the features page of their web page:
Web Browser Songbird includes an integrated web browser with features like bookmarking, tabbed browsing, and more.
Anyway, what I really would like to know is why the fuck they thought it was a good idea to put a browser in the application by using mozilla code?!! To show the lyrics or what?
Kind of say enough about the developers than they thought that was a good idea because it was possible, un-focused bloatware.
I doubt I'll start to use it thanks to that "feature."
This thread will end up getting moderated flame-bait, but what would that common enemy be? Personally I think Windows is rather ok now, Windows 7 will probably be even better, who knows, maybe even better than snow leopard.
The only thing I see as an enemy is ideas which are pushed down my throat no matter what if I want them or not. I want to use my data and my applications in the way I feel like, not be forced to a single method just because someone else thought it was the best one. But that is true for all operating systems and no special "enemy."
I like many things in OS X and in applications for it because it makes sense and makes using the computer more comfortable, I don't like some other things because they don't let me do the things I want to do.
The huge amount of applications for Windows makes it rather likely that you can find one which fits your purpose, some for the window managers and such in the free unix-like oses.

I take it you've never spent time in a pub band, or even writing songs with your mates in a garage band. Being able to play a musical instrument is very rewarding even without 'being noticed'.
Probably not, this is news for nerds after all, not news for musicians;D

Yeah because being able to play random song on the piano is so much more useful than most frags in quake or top ranking on the wc3 ladder?
Once upon a time I had a keyboard whose shift keys didn't work longer. It also happened that I ran whatever Linux dist and had a dir filled of files I wanted to remove.
Solution? User numeric keypad to type a * (which requires shift on the other part of the keyboard at least with a swedish keymap.)
Except I hit the wrong key so my * become a / instead. Not good.
Also when trying to install Solaris 8 on my Sun Ultra 30 it never worked to partition the harddrive or something like that, but dd if=/dev/zero of=diskname solved that one.. (don't remember if I used bs=1 or 512 and count=somehugenumber or not.)
Except (at least I'm not aware off it, may have been added or been possible to do the whole time) that don't let you actually configure the wifi, just use it. I've only ran the test application and some homebrew using the wifi but none have gave me options for setting up access point configuration or such. They just start to use it as it's already set from a game.
Ok on the last part, guess my dsorganize is rather outdated.
Lagom? lol, first time ever I've seen the word spread outside of Sweden:D
It's finally happening! After hundreds of years borrowing english, latin, german and french words our time has come! If only we built some new castles to! (On that topic, how nice to know we are shutting down all our military really fast nowadays while the russians are mobilising (though probably not to invade us:D))
Somewhat off-topic I know, but I can handle the negative moderation for spreading this awesome news about how we'll take over the world thru lagom!
Personally I would never use WPA for my computer but if I run wifi-lib test or whatever it's called on my DS and scan for networks around here I find 17 of which one is unencrypted and only 2 uses WPA. So the rest 15 is all WEP. So for most people this will indeed be a none issue, simple because they don't know better / understand the difference anyway.
The unencrypted seem to use some mac-filter though because my DS can't use it;/
At least the configured access points are stored / DS and not / game. So if you set up network access in one wifi enabled game the settings will be the same when you switch game.
Also at least pictochat and single-cart multiplayer games uses wifi without any cartridge (but obviously don't use an access point.)
I have never thought it would be part of the cartridges, and I don't either. I don't know how homebrew using the wifi works, but I doubt they have written their own drivers, they just seem to use whatever is already configured.
Not that it's totally against what you wrote but most planes crash at start or landing, and not while actually flying as in "omg all engines failed and now we will drop 10.000 m."
I read on gbatemp earlier that WPA support was indeed there (see thread about Yasus hack/video for the post in question.)
Why shouldn't it work with older games to? I think the network part is rather separated from the games, considering you have to restart the DS between configuration and using the network in Metroid Prime, and it always looks the same.
Would be interesting to know how much the hand-cranking raise your energy demands which force you to eat more which require more food which probably require additional energy resources:D
And what is the benefits of millions of meat cattle vs undeveloped areas with real nature and a mixture of lots of species?
Meat eaters of all sorts make things work. Hunters / people eating wild meat are somewhat better but they still will kill of all other predators and try to keep their prey in huge numbers so they suck kind of hard to.
If only we said that we'd keep say 30% of the area in each and every country for wild life instead of spreading all over.

"My interest is so much better than yours!"
Or use a filesystem with slow removal of files and directories so you can cancel it ;D
Blizzard don't negotiate with terrorists :D
In the same way as the matrix representation of people? ;)
Maybe the US army bought a chinese wow farming bot and modified it somewhat to react on the maps / whatever sent by them instead for RL usage? :D
Sucks if they run away to pick up flowers or corpse camp though.
I know the other child thought it was nasty but I used to do it to see if the sound worked or not. So I find it useful.

Or well, scrap good, but it's a funny one :D
"Lagom is best", is translated as "Enough is as good as a feast"
To get the actual meaning I'd say "an adequate but not excessive amount works the best."
As in:
To get lagom drunk.
The foods spicing was lagom.
The bath temperature was lagom.
The current swedish champions in volleyball practise in the same building of and at the same gym as me, hurray my gym! :D
Not in bikinis though, hot pants/tights all the way.
