While I agree with you that regular backups are a good thing, not all of us keeps gigabytes of private data on their laptops.
From stealing mine you could at most gain a few thousand lines of FORTRAN code that I have uploded on a public CVS this morning!
I havn't heard of any other ISP having this problem
Actually I think that many ISPs had the same problem, even my home wireless router have a similar problem with vist (DHCP don't work) I noticed it when a friend with a new vista laptop visited me (look at the FAQ page of the producer!).
This proves the huge and bad effect that microsoft has in the IT world: they are so powerful and scary that everyone else prefer to silently workaround MS, if they don't they fear to loose lots of customers. So microsoft is sucking a lot of work time from everybody else to interoperate with their buggy software.
If you add this fact to the annoying difficulty of having embedded window reimboursed you can easily understand why the open source community is often so hyper critical toward the dominant-position abuser.
The only place it lookes like power shell won was in killing a process, but it could've been much more easily accomplished with a single command, killall konquorer. Why he did all the grepping, awking, and piping, I don't know.
That is just plain trash: nobody use such a stupid commanline to kill konqueror (why do they use xarg for so little line? why do they grep away grep? it's gone anyway). Furthermore the command "pkill -9 konqueror" would have just the same effect.
A lot of applications like Word, Excel, etc don't usually do process-intensive tasks and the act of spreading the work over multiple threads would actually decrease performance (there is overhead for each thread, context switches, etc)
You are right, but not quite accurate: multi core systems share the L1/L2 cache between processors, this primarly means that they are not such a big improvement in performance as they are supposed to be (small cache = low computer); the side effect is that multiple threads can pass messages and data to each other much faster than on "classic" multiprocessor systems, where the data had to be moved through a much slower bus.
It's still making you jump through hoops for no obvious benefit. SuSe does something similar (or did last time I looked) it was enough to nudge me towards RH.
Maybe in the USA nobody knows, but the acronym VA uses to stand for Vatican (http://www.vatican.va/) not Virginia. You may imagine how dazzled I was after reading that the Pope himself will take care of spammers, will they be excommunicated?
Yes, I have heard about it, I read several thousand pages of novels each year. Books replace the old story-telling, that is different from both from music and play (=drama).
I won't say that music and movies are luxuries. I agree that HDTV and 5.2 surround are luxuries, stupid ones to be fair. But visual and audio arts are a primary need for people. Humans play music and drama when they don't have enough food to eat, they built instruments and wore play dresses before writing was developed.
You can't honestly say that simple entertainment is a luxury and, since we don't have a lifestyle that allow us to gather every evening around the fire to sing and play, listening to music and watching a movie is a real need for us, not as important as eating and having sex but not much less either.
Europe is great if you are young or unemployed. Europe sucks if you actually want to make something of yourself through hard work.
But what does it mean to "make yoursef", once I can eat twice a day high quality food, I can get free painkillers (don't lie! you can), work 8 ours a day (8, not 6) but still spend enough time with my family and friends I have alreay made myself through fair work, I'm happy to leave the rest to some arrogant masochist.
Maybe the US are only 5% of world population, but with 30% (90 milions) of obese and 5% (7.5 milions) of severe obese people they probably weight more or less 25% of world's human fat!
I have removed the "suspend" key from my keyboard a long time ago, why don't you just remove the CAPS-LOCK key from your keyboard and don't even try to teach me what I need and what I don't?
One thing that is vulnerable would be an instance of windoze running in linux under wine, since everything in wine is owned by the user running it.
Of coure you have no idea about what wine is and what it's not, probably you haven't ever succeded in running wine at all. Even leaving the whole "wine is not an emulator" part away still you won't ever run windows with wine. Are you ignorant or just trolling?
There also proofs the at least 22 CIA agents abducted and tortured egyptian and italian citizend in Italy in the last 5 years. The few which survived reported that they had been imprisoned in the Temara prison in Morocco.
Tortures included genital mutilations, electric shocks and violence.

neutrinos mass have been confirmed twice in the last 5 years by an two experiments held in Italy an Japan. Still US won't believe that until they do it themselves, just the same, but better.
I remember when I had the bad idea of using such a password at the college. When they changed the keyboards from USA to italian layout I could not login for days.
Slashdot Mirror
if only I had followed the trend to use gmail and picasa I would be quite upset
No, it was not uncommon for pirate ships to raid small villages on the coast. A pirate is a generic criminal who moves with a boat!

Yes, it is slahdotted, but coral cache is working: pyrodesktop.org.
Do some cellular providers block phones that they don't approve off?
In Europe definetly NO, as long as you spend your money you can connect with whatever you wish.
This guy says that he want to sell software for living and can't link dynamically: he's clearly a troll.
It seems that Digital Millenuium Copyright Act repels Richard Stallman so badly that he cannot even spell it right!

Have you ever heard of a book?
Yes, I have heard about it, I read several thousand pages of novels each year. Books replace the old story-telling, that is different from both from music and play (=drama).
But since this is a luxury good,

Indirect taxes are also high in northern Europe, in France, in Italy and in many other european countries. VAT is about 20% (it's 25% in Denmark)

I know artsdsp but it definetly sucks.

e.g. have you ever tried artsdsp

You sayd "should have a trial", but I hope you were thinking "must have a trial as soon as possible"
