Don't they realize that Congress has stated that Broadcasts OTA, either by antenni or cable, must remain copy freely for the consumer and that the Broadcast Flag is to only restrict distribution?

If they didn't try to spin out the same old shite (boy bands, brintney clones...), then maybe I might buy a cd or two!

Ya sure they are not the best games, but my kids play them and it is a lot cheaper than buying new games. Personally I will never buy another MS product, I am not giving one more cent to the MS tax, and this just reenforces my bias.:p
I dissagree that they will isolate themselves from the world. More likely the rest of the world will have to adopt their standards and learn to interact. They have 25% of the world population and growing rapidly. It is a very western view to look at it the other way.
Good thing I didn't buy that mp3slim device (embedded linux mp3 stream server), or invest anymore money into my tivo (pvr running linux), or work on the Linux Professional Recording Studio (recent article in linux journal). Nope they are right I cannot hear a damn thing out of a linux system, well other than my x-bell.:p
Maybe your attitude of "Hey you work with computers, so fix my problem" is just the fuel that feeds our anger....
You know we became sysadmins because we have horrible social skills! Just becareful and tread lightly or you may find yourself on the "unexplained" computer troubles.:-P
Ya but then again do you remember the support run-around that sun gave about the gbic issues they had and also the 400 MHz Ultra Sparc II chip flaw? Basically they never admited to the problem that was widely know, instead they treated their customer base like they were idiots. Sure RedHat has its problems with support just like Sun, HP, IBM. But I would rather use the huge linux community on the web for my support, before I pick up the phone or submit a web ticket. I usually find an answer to my issue about 90% of the time.

The CPU fan was missing the clip to go attach itself to the cpu. I duct taped it a over 1.5 years ago and have not had one failure...

To harden or secure a linux box, my preferred tool is a cable snip to cut the lan cable... :)
To fix the system I prefer to use a hammer. :D
you should definately look at fanout then if you are using ssh.

Just saw a 5GB 1st Gen iPod on ebay for $87. I didn't see anything in the rebate form that said it had to be a 15Gb or a specific Gen.

Totally agree... Sometimes I think that the only thing that is missing from my daily job is a mop and bucket.

Sat in a meeting with a Senior VP who was trying to convince everyone that you could replace a 8 way 400 MHz Sun E4500 with 1 PC.
His reason? Because 8x400MHz = 3200MHz, so all you would need is one to two 3 GHz processor intel system.
It was hard not to laugh...
