how would you like being sold something as new but was actually taken from a returned 'customized' item. those customized items can no longer be sold as new.
I wouldn't know if it worked. Therefore I wouldn't care.

Yes it can be resold if it is not damaged. Happens all the time in the retail industry.
And now try to figure out why it is spelled Terabyte with only one 'r'
You know try as I might, I can't figure out why that is.
Normally I would just ignore a spelling-nazi, but since my original post was about Google's calculator and spell checker, it is actually kind of appropriate.
Well, either not buy it, or pirate the game, test it, then buy a copy. And since I can't do the latter without getting arrested, I guess I'll just never know
ROTFL
Do you really think you get arrested everytime you break the law?
I've been getting about five or six false negatives a day with my yahoo account, for the last few months.
I'm not too happy with their filter. I'll mark something as spam and still continue to get things from the same sender (which I mark as spam too, but it just doesn't seem to help).
Oh, well. At least the 200 other spam emails I get each day in that account get sent to the Junk folder.
It took me three tries to install Gentoo. But two of them we're due to problems installing Windows on another partition (one was of those was my fault, the other was Windows' fault)
Now that it's installed I love it. It suits my tastes much better than Fedora did.
I understand your concern, but I look at it this way. WineX may be the final thing that convinces some Windows users to switch to Linux, which is what Linux needs right now.
Once Linux has a large userbase companies will want to make Linux ports of their software.
Of course, this isn't to say that one shouldn't still support any company that is already making Linux games.
I think this round of browser wars depends on what MS adds to IE in longhorn, and how long it takes for them to release it.
The rate that people are currently switching to Mozilla may remain slow if MS adds pop-up blocking, tabbed browsing, a built-in search bar, and some more [percieved] security because the average person wouldn't see an advantage to switching then.
However with how quickly the Mozilla team seems to advance their technology they have a good chance of always having a more appealing (to non-geeks) browser than MS.
Regardless of all of this it's still great to see people's reaction to Firebird/fox after using it for a few minutes. Most don't ever want to go back to IE.
Yeah I know, but since the original poster had already used the word "ones" I figured it wouldn't be as witty the other way. Although now that I think about it, it's not very witty either way.
Your post seems like FUD to me. Now I'm no expert, so I could be wrong, but are there not several proprietary programs that are no longer supported? The key difference of course being that with a non-supported proprietary app you have no chance of getting support. With OSS you could get the source code and either learn programming or hire a programmer to add support for you.
Hey, just so you don't think I'm a troll or something (my last comment came out harsher than expected) I'd like to add that your analogy in the last paragraph is great:)
Should we have a guilty conscience for bring down servers as wantonly as we do? I think not, as the Internet is open and free and who's going to stop us
The fact that somebody can stop you is not what makes something bad.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying bringing down servers is a horrible thing, I'm just saying your argument sucks.
The first thing that came to my mind is that it is somebody working for SCO (to point the blame at Linux zealots), and he feels bad that he has to do this.
Although the second thing that came to my mind is that's probably not true.
I actually used Fedora for a couple months without any problems. I'm sure it's buggy in certain applications, but for my uses it was superb. It just wasn't up-to-date enough for my tastes, so I switched to Gentoo.
It seems to me that having an Apple and a BSD section, yet not having a Linux section shows some bias. But then again, BSD articles don't often make it to the front page (as far as I've noticed).

Hell Yeah! Rally the troops!
Oh... you mean fight with Microsoft? Screw that.

A couple of weeks ago, there was a problem with one of them who didn't want to take part in that.
The guy must not been much of a socialist.
Wow that's pretty cool too.

Google can help you find some pretty cool things.
I just learned that with my internet service I can theoretically download 11 terrabytes per year.
I really need a bigger hard drive
Those are my two favorite features too. The calculator comes in handy for things like coversions such as 420 lightyears per hour in meters per nanosecond.
Google has some pretty cool technology.
Right now, yes, it is a foreign concept for many people.
As the popularity of OSS continues to grow however, this will change.
I predict that in ten years companies will be like "We don't have access to the source code? How will we know if it's secure?"
Sweet! Thanks!
That'll come in handy next time I have to use Lynx.

I'm installing LFS

Holy crap! That's one hardcore Linux (non)distribution. I think I may have to try that out

Yes, but you can only write to files if you're not changing the file size. You also cannot rename or delete files.
Hmmm... sort of like a low tech Thirteenth Floor

All those bits... how am I to know which ones are the right ones.
Actually, the ones are pretty trustworthy. It's the zeroes that you've got to look out for.
