With Linux installed, why is it using proprietary mp3 and not ogg?
The player itself probably has only a dirt cheap mp3 decoder chip onboard. The ability to boot Linux (or some other OS) has nothing to do with the player's abilities. Every USB mass-storage device can boot an OS (but not every PC can boot from a USB device).
These drivers aren't new, they are out almost a month now and they suck just as much as every ATi driver before...
I don't want a HOWTO to install a friggin' driver, I want to type./install, restart the Xserver and have great framerates.
and are we really that afraid of facts and consequences of our actions (if those actions are illegal or suspicious)?
Who decides what's illegal and what's suspicious? Not to long ago, some jerk decided that being Jew is illegal. Now imagine what would have happened if he had the means our governments are installing today. Noone can guarantee that there will never again be someone in charge like Hitler or Stalin, so lets at least guarantee that they will not have a preinstalled surveillance network at their disposal...
Looks, job, race, gender, etc should have nothing to do with the law and law enforcement. Laws and rights apply to everyone equally.
Not in the real world...a while ago, I had a little longer hair than the average guy. I got controlled by the police almost on a weekly basis, searching me for drugs and stuff (of course, they never found anything;) ). Since I've cut my hair, they let me alone...
I bet he did. I'm sure that at this very moment, dozens of WinFS devs are greping trough reiser4's code and trying to unterstand what the hell those 'dancing trees' everyone talks about are:)
this means that worms and malware authors need only make themselves appear to be Microsoft software
Hell, why even pretend being from Microsoft when Microsoft provides such a nice little API?
And since virtually every Windows User out there works with administrator rights, worms/spyware/whatever can simply deactivate the firewall with a simple API call.

Since when does Hollywood give a shit about accurate physics? Hell, Doom 3 has a better physics Engine than most Hollywood movies!
I bet you'll piss yourself a few more times if you watch all three EEs nonstop ;)

Including your post? 100% I'd say...
If by "this" you mean FlexWiki, it is indeed licensed under the CPL, just as WiX and WTL. Or how do you explain this?
It's released unter the CPL which is OSI-approved
Now THAT would be an election like in the old days! Let them fight each other to the death!
It's those damn bugs again!
I always wanted to "feel warm and relaxed" when listening to Slayer!

Nah, Creative stops usually at 30

Correction: Echelon is the name of NSA's communication surveillance system. It has nothing to do with the British government or cameras.

Andrew Wiles proved it 10 years ago. Time to catch up on number theory anecdotes ;)

More DRM horseshit I suppose...
Do you know of any traffic limits once you start sharing those 10 GB of data with a lot of "good friends"?
Traffic limit is at twice the size of the account. 2GB for the free one, 10 or 20 for the paid ones. So, no warez or pr0n sharing here...
Hmmm, since VISA is an official sponsor, I wonder if you can pay for anything with your Master Card/Discover/Amex/etc.
At least for tickets, only VISA is accepted. I wouldn't be surprised if VISA got an all inclusive contract...
If you nitpick, do it right...
The opening event has begun (about three hours ago) but the games are going to be opened only in a few minutes.

Secure by Design my ass, Microsoft!
