Its very rare in any eve PVP to get your loot back if your on the losing side, which if your ship has just gone pop then you probably are.
Insurance helps but when you lose a BS in PVP even a medium fitted one your looking at 100mil isk loss and that hurts most players. I know I get a real sense of fear when my phoons armor tank starts to fail and you don't get that with WoW or the like. You don't tend to keep making the same mistakes when it takes you a week to earn that ship back.
The only down side of this is that as a casual player myself it means I can't pvp as much as I would like but you can't have everything.
I don't use skype so I can't say 100% that my SIP provider matches what they offer but I use http://voiptalk.co.uk./
I have some SIP handsets that plug directly into my network anywhere in the house. (that means no PC needed)
I get free calls to any other SIP user, I have a real paid for land line number(several), answer phones etc etc etc. All the usefull stuff that skype does and more. I don't have a real world phone anymore and never had any problems so I would say that there are people offering SIP services as good as if not better than skype out there its just not everyone knows about them because it's skype hype atm.
The fact is all the major telcoms houses are working with SIP or various open protos and at some point skype will have to let others in to play or be forgotten.
You mistake me for someone who thinks everyone and their dog should use OSS.
I don't, in fact I wish most of the people we have at the moment who came along now because its trendy and who feel the need to moan because developers don't feel inclinded to bow to their wishes would go away and bother someone else.
If people want to use windows or OSX good. Thats their choice, they paid their money and so can exspect a certain level of service as a result. But what gives them any right to tell an OSS developer what to do?
What gives anyone the right to tell me when I make an offical build from CVS? Just because something they want isn't in an offical build they want me to take time out of fixing other bugs to make them a build.
Hell there are things in packages I want fixed or require I build from cvs...but instead of bitching to everyone who will listen about how bad OSS is and how the developers won't listen to me I fix it or build it from CVS because I have been on the receiving end of the kind of abuse that people like the ffmpeg group are getting.
Everyone wants something for nothing and they want it now, that not what OSS is about.

Tell you what, why don't you pay them for their time?
Why don't you pay them to listen to you whine about things you want them to do in their own spare time?
Why don't you fund their servers, pay for an admin, pay them to dictate what features you want?
When you do that then you are free to whine and bitch about it.
Until that point your just another user who exspects everything from people who dedicate their own free time to producing something in the hope it may be useful to others.
You want daily builds? Get off your ass and do them yourself.
Indeed you are correct I do not agree with getting 'market share' crowd but then I also think in a sense that crowd doesn't actually exist because that is driven by mostly pressure from outside forces (ie those not actively involved in development) but they seem to have an increasing loud voice.
Those developing are doing so because they want to do it for themselves, they want a tool(s) to do something and they are building on a tool box that is Linux based. Some of their driving factor may well be to make something better than windows or some other OS but in the end it's for them and who ever cares to use it and they are doing it their way.
So by sitting on the side lines and saying well I think Linux should be the same at the core so we can beat windows or be installed on Dells these people show they have no real understanding of what they are asking of the community and what the community they are asking it of is about and that if they want change they have to get off their ass and make that change because 99% of the community doesn't care if Linux comes on a Dell.
The key to Linux is diversity and who cares if we alienate Mr AOL etc. Everyone everywhere seems to be trying to tell the community what to do atm yet we are still here plodding on in our own directions some totally contrary to others and yet still making great things happen our own ways.
Thats what made Linux and OSS what it is in the first place by not conforming to someone in a suit who probably types with one finger and assumes to know what is best for us.
But forgive me I assumed wrongly about the level of setup you where running. I think we could safely say that on your average setup the center speaker *is* the driver.
All true, One thing I would add as well that content is an issue. *MOST* dvd's are still coming in 5.1 in fact I'm still banging my head trying to get DTS let alone 6.1ES etc.
Without the content in 7.1 then I would totaly agree it's a waste of time.
Oh and the center 'speaker' is your driver and the most important in the setup without it your system is usless. Try unplugging it an see what happens:)
Saying that you have your 5.1 setup correctly seems to suggest you only have 5.1. Have you actually tried a 7.1 setup? It does make a difference.
I agree that anything setup badly will not make any difference and in the case of 7.1 it would be a mess. But if you have gone 7.1 then I assume they have paid good money for something to drive it and some good kit to host it. If you have paid less than 5k for your setup then it's probably pointless to go 7.1.
Just because your average Jo doesn't need 7.1 tho doesn't make it any less good. TFA misrepresents the benefit on the basis that it doesn't make much difference to a non cinema environment...This is not true.
There is one caveat: Symantec counts only those security flaws that have been confirmed by the vendor. According to security monitoring company Secunia, there are 19 security issues that Microsoft still has to deal with for Internet Explorer, while there are only three for Firefox.

So you keep your CPU in your top hat and your cane is your mouse.
So in the future the more 1337 you are the more you look like a victorian gentleman.
I recon I can fit 1 Terabyte under a top hat too.
It was great under gentoo until I tried to use 2 IMAP accounts from work to my home machine via BB. Works fine in mozilla and other mail tools but was lagged to hell under Evo.
It's a good tool but there are some serious issues with the way it manages IMAP.

They are in court at this moment sorting this out.
Hopefully the judge will take one look at this this and ask SCO exactly why they arn't prepared to say what they have on IBM.
While I don't doubt this at all, I'd be interested to see how they make the leap from selling MOD chips for a PSX as being something that enables pirating games (although it has legit uses like backup) and a device that encodes to mp3.
Both devices 'promoting copyright infringement'. However sony has taken people to court for selling them. In my (possibly mistaken) eyes there is no difference in these devices under UK law.
