They didn't just redesign the site, they're now offering different products - I ordered an iBook a few weeks ago and they have changed my order to reflect this change, which is nice since I'm now getting a faster processor and a bigger hard drive for the same price.
Why would I want software with ads embedded in it?

This is slightly OT, but couldn't Apple potentially make a lot of money by porting OS X to x86? It shouldn't be hard to do, since it's based on FreeBSD which (of course) runs on x86. If they did that, they might be able to make a dent in MS's market share.
The next question we need to ask is, whose security do large scale protests threaten?
They threaten the government's power, not the security of the people. Sadly, maintaining power is probably the top pritority of most governments (above even the common good of the people).
RegisterFly.com offer something similar, only $1 to protect each domain. It puts something like this in the whois record:

That email address gets forwarded to your actual address, and it changes every so often so you don't get spam to it.
I don't know if you noticed, but it's categorised as both BSD and Linux (as well as GNOME and GNU). Slash probably just chose BSD as the main one automatically.
I'm kind of disappointed looking at the list of compliant distributions - there aren't many on there, especially when you consider how many distributions there are out there.
With that in mind, how much can this "allow application developers to ensure their product works"?
That is true; give weapons to the masses and they can keep the peace for themselves. But it is also true that if no one has weapons then no one needs them. I don't think we can say which would work best, since it is not an easy task to keep weapons from everyone; I suppose the real question is whether or not it is best to arm everyone (which could be quite easily done) and live with the obviously higher number of shootings this would cause, or try to disarm everyone and create a situation where the few remaining with weapons could potentially wield power over everyone else.
I made the plunge into Linux at the start of 1993 under the assumption that things had improved enough that I could get around Linux without the command prompt at all, or at least with minimal exposure to it.

Indeed, I work for a hosting company and we tell our customers not to use mysql_pconnect at all.

But government's meddling in what businesses can pay to each other seems wrong to me.
In this case I don't think it's wrong, since the richer companies could use their money to effectively monopolise radio for their artists.

A strange coincidence, I'm sure, but I asked a similar question this week:

The replies to my post answer it pretty well, I think.
Tax payers money should not be spent on educating children on copyright laws.
Change 'educating' to 'brainwashing' and you've got it exactly.

I don't remember reading anything about a Windows version, but given it's newfound gnome integration I doubt that anything like that will happen.

Not as far as I'm aware, but they could be used in the next attack.
Anyway, I'm not actually for or against this ban, I just think the people in charge should think about their priorities some more.
No, but they can obtain them from someone else who did.
It seems strange that at a time when preventing terrorism is a priority that they would be willing to let weapons such as these enter circulation...
Maybe he did; from the article:
Was it even bootable in 1993? Or was that a typo?
Yeah, 'cause floppies are so fast...
Why not actually compare it to the previous design they had?
Not necessarily; the article mentions some custom kernel modules for the intel wireless stuff.
you still are taking away the right of the distributor to choose how its work can be disseminated through public channels.
And if I don't believe they should have absolute control of this?
[Intellectual property] is a necessary law
Again, I don't agree with this; it's only necessary for those who want to squeeze money from ideas or art.
I also don't think you can compare laws which are designed to prevent physical injury with those which are designed to allow monopolies.
Common sense says it's a civil matter, the law just doesn't agree.
Just because it's the law, it's not necessarily right. In my opinion, copyright violation should never be a criminal matter.
