So Win7 is better than WinXP mainly if:
1) you install it frequently
2) change your hardware frequently
3) Use dodgy drivers/hardware
Awesome! Where do I send my $s!
Tooooo complicated.
I got koolu net appliance ~2 years ago. Unfortunately they do not sell them anymore, however there are bound to be loads of equivalent low powered PCs.
It is a AMD Geode based box with 512Mb ram and an 80gb hard drive. I run Ubuntu server on it.
Only uses between 7-11 watts which is around what a PCI card would use anyway.

Quick! Chop the rainforest down and prepare it for agricultural use! Time's a wasting and we MIGHT need it later!

You have never lived in a bad area of the UK, have you?
More like, you shoot a burglar. Burglars mates/family shoot you a few weeks/months later and as pretty much the whole community hates you by now or are scared of getting shot themselves sees nothing.
A corporation can not decide to lock me up and throw away the key, and use my money to do it.
Also, I decide what information to give, or not, to a corporation. The government can pass a law saying I have to or I get locked up.
You think that potential burglers are going to see you neighbour's front door is open and think "You beauty! Someone has left their door open! I better get my stripy t-shirt, mask and sack with loot written on the side".
So you accept that killed Iraqi and Afghan children by proxy then?
I have never voted for either of the main parties, in fact I voted for the only party that is genuinely for an open and grass roots democratic society in Australia. The facts are:
1) The more pressing issue of Work(lack of)choices legislation decided the vote
2) Net censorship was not even on the radar until after the election
There is due to be a cabinet restructure this or next month, hopefully Kev will see the light and give Conroy the boot.
The broken window fallacy does not apply to the GPs post. Car theft, in h{er,is} example, is good for the car company. Bad for the victim, insurance company and society though - quite apt for the Pirate Bay case though!
Lack of imagination.

Or waste deep (or deeper) in a paddy field all day.
Did a cycle tour of Vietnam last year. I am very glad of where I landed position in the womb lottery.
Reminds me of when I linked Cretinism to Creationism in Conservapedia. The discussion amongst the admins was hillarious...

Not a joke. Many counts of rape: many x 10 years Many counts of murder: many x 25 years One count of Fraud: 150 years / ?

32Mb? USB? Luxury! I can remember when a 10Mb MFM drive cost more than a small house!
Or Germany could finally attempt Operation Sealion, with a twist anyway.
True, the pen is mightier than the pork sword.
When we have strapped x-ray lasers to their heads, duh!
Originally, yes. Just like priests not having children increased the wealth of the church. Nowadays...? Tradition?
No, still triangulation. The third point is the point you are trying to find.

I haven't looked, but I would guess that the National Party runs the councils in the areas that were burned.
FWIW, the National party are hardly allied to the Greens, but are in a coalition with the Liberals - the Aussie version of the GOP.
So... Are the Green party really to blame?

They do pay you, in kind with a service.
Which is not so different from Australia (which is a land of immigrants, much like the USA)... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_nationality_law#Acquisition_of_Australian_Citizenship_-_Birth_in_Australia IIRC, the USA is unusual in conferring citizenship on anyone who is born there. After all, is it any weirder to be able to deport a US citizen's parents if the US citizen happens to be their child and dependent upon them? This has happened...
Then you do not have physical access.

Ok. It's like suing the brickworks which made the brick that was used to smash your car window so it could be stolen.

Come back to me when you have written an OS Kernel in Ruby and Perl and then I might agree with your second sentance.
