My experience is just the opposite. On windows everything is shareware, but Macs get lots of Linux/Unix goodies as open source freeware. Maybe my tastes in (usage of) software are different than yours.
If you buy a used out-of-print book, the author and publisher don't receive any money. What's the difference if you download an e-text of an out-of-print book? None that I can think of.
As long as you are distributing it for profit, they shouldn't have a grip.
I've done the reverse. I've stopped buying digital downloads (except the odd case of iTunes Plus content every blue moon). Now I try to only buy SACDs.
All the Doctor Who stuff I buy from England comes in blister packs. If I remember correctly the action figures use twist ties too. Plus, we have a lot of U.S. toys on the shelves in toy stores here in Sweden.
Is Firefly Media Server still being develop? It looks like they haven't made a new nightly in almost 1 year (should it be called a yearly instead?)
I loved using Firefly to stream audiobooks and music to our school's computer labs.
Tell them to use Apple-H to hide the app instead of minimizing. I almost never minimize something on my Mac and constantly complain that I can't just Hide something when using Windows.
>>Why does the parent-window of an application still dominate the core navigation context even when minimised?
I won't work at any school that doesn't let me install LaTeX and Scribus on my computer. I refuse to use Word (its quirks and limitations drove me batty years ago).
I'm an excellent teacher, so I you want me to work for you, you have to let me install my own FOSS.
Here is Sweden it is very common for drug addicts or organized crime gangs to break into schools and businesses at night to steal computers. LCD monitors and laptops are prime targets. The private school I teach at has had the teachers' room broken into 4 times in the past 2 years. Now, I put my monitor on the floor every night so thieves can't just look in the window and see easy pickings.

I've patented going to the bathroom, so you're a double thief! Now, where are my royalty payments?
E-ink is only grayscale right now. That laptop will wear out your eyes. An e-ink reader like kindle will not. For text e-ink is far superior to that laptop screen.
Mutopia's music should be safe from this. They require that you verify that both the composer and the editor of the edition you are working from have been dead for over 70 years. Unless you have access to faded, yellow scores, you can't contribute to the project.
On a side note, it is nice that everything there is in Lilypond format.

Too bad this wasn't ready last year when I had to pay â to get a program to mount my SSH drive. Good work!
For most cases, no. Look at the firs page of most books and you'll see that the copyright is listed beside the author's name.

You seem to assume that Dickens is better than PKD. That's blasphemy in these parts. ;-)
Utilities (considered one-shot programs) close the program when closing a window. Other apps do not. It's in Apple's programming guidelines.

Amen brother! Preach it to the choir, 'cuz the unconverted just don't understand. Poor lost souls.
I was thinking of mini buildings too, but for Doctor Who Miniatures and Mythos Miniatures, not 40k. :-)

Don't forget cool stuff like SSHfs. It's like a faster, encrypted iDisk.My 100% Linux webhost is also a heck of a lot cheaper the MobileMe.
I second that. I've been waiting for Picasa for my Mac for ages.
We've tried to get the landlord to do something, iron bars would be best, but he hasn't. I have curtains, but they're not the best at concealing.

What a gip of a list!

Biz Target = executives who have a main computer at the office and home, but want a small WOW presentation computer.
Home Target = your wife.
Then you should like the easy on the eyes e-ink technology in e-book readers. No light at all!

iTunes runs fine on my 6-year-old iBook G3. You're problem seems to be platform dependant.
99% of the time I use Wikipedia is to look up trivia. i don't think I'm alone.
