There is no point in downloading a crappy song either which is what I consider most "popular music" nowadays.
Besides, Linux is the "indy platform" of the computer desktop world. It has yet to appeal to mainstreamers who, for reasons unknown, like that music. Thus popular music probably ain't so popular for the linux crowd anyways.
I myself enjoy Gibson's work. His novels feel like he isn't "Out of touch" with fads and technology like most [horrible] contemporary sci-fi writers are. He has good concepts and the characters are believable. And the descriptions of the "cyberspace" he created in Nauromancer still haunt me.
All in all, he reminds me of a more subtle, less military, Canadian version of Masamune Shirow with more believable characters(although we all wish impossibly proportioned hotties could do half the shit Shirow makes em do).
I believe his point was the definition of "intuitive"

Funy. Nintendo claims the revolution will fit in the spaces just fine, run quietly and cool.
Why? BECAUSE IT'S A CONSOLE.
It's not a matter of "this is how things will be". Things are like that already -on PCs-. Consoles are like video capable interactive stereo systems. This is what makes a console a console and not just a PC plugged into a TV.
By restricting this use, it fails to be a console and begins to be a PC(or a headache, or an eyesore).
If you design a car that does excellent mileage but needs to be driven atop of waterm it's not teh "car of the future". It's a frikkin' boat.
That's nothing. Wait for the loss per unit $ony's gonna get on that cell-based behemoth next year! I think I remembered reading someone that it costs over 150$ just for the CPU!!(not counting the gpu, sound chip, mobo, casing, power, peripheral, etc...)
I don't think snot would work well as it's mostly the stuff collected from the air (lots of contamination) and mucus is mucus is mucus. I may be wrong though.
I love it. I suggest more people take a look at this card. It has served me almost 3 years now. It does have Linux support. MythTV even has support for the great video in/out stuff.
MAC: Unable to run windows for windows programs(yes, there are many good native windows programs). Hardware costs many times more then equivalent X86 hardware and is mostly monopolized.
X86: Open. Runs any damn OS. Cheap hardware in a competitive market. Open hardware specs. Service to be gotten everywhere other then the sparser, expensive "Apple Stores". Three farking mouse buttons.
OSX-X86: advantages of X86 + the ability to boot up the OSX OS(which is nice).
Why are you so obsessed with blaming everyone as a freeloader?
Then, if that is indeed the case and they are indeed violating the law, I stand corrected on the legality of allofmp3's operation. But the argument on (you need to follow US law if you download from Russian legal sites), still has holes in it.
If you're speaking of sites like allofmp3.com, please specify your sources or at least link to some evidence that the operation is anything but legal. It is my understanding that monetary compensation is given to the respective author for each download under the copyright laws currently in effect in that country.
In any case, if you're in the United States whilst downloading your movies and songs from Russia, then you are subject to US law.
Then start paying 5 times more then you did for that computer of yours. I'm fairly certain that some of the parts were manufactured by organizations paying their employees much less then your legal minimum wage.
I dealt with M$ as a hosting support rep. I also dealt with them as a computer store tech. Both situations were horrible. A member of our hosting team had to teach a M$ rep how to use Frontpage in order to identify a problem with it.
I also had to wait on hold for 20 mins, dealt with 6 different people -and- had to tell someone how to use Word so I could get an answer as to wether the Canadian OEM version of the Word software would allow switching spellcheck languages.
I know people who work at a M$ call center not far from here(about 300km give or take) and they'll hire anyone who can talk through a phone, tech support experience or not.
the parent meant that as OSS is a community effort, often time with coders whos real identities you don't know, laying responsibility on the developer would be tricker if not impossible. Also, as the code is open, you know what you're getting into(if properly educated) thus you share the responsibility for the security failure.
These do not factor in on closed source. You know all the developpers by name. You know who contributed what when and for what reason. You also hide the failing from the educated public by closing the source.
Not everyone in the UN has the same views as China and India. For every one of those who want to quash a particular piece of free speech, there are gov'ts who want that info public. I'm fairly certain China wants to see more moveon.org websites just as many Americans want to see more www.freechina.net
Way to believe the world view your currently world-hated president wants you to believe.

Instant defense: Sony's rootkit allowed a hacker to hijack my PC and steal my files;)
LOL
I actually got that;)
Good!
I'm sorry. The kids didn't write the books. They can write their own. I work for a living. They can too.

A rat brain can fly a plaine...but a slashdot editor cannot check for dupes...yeah, sounds about right.

I have an ATI AIW 9600 Pro
I love it. I suggest more people take a look at this card. It has served me almost 3 years now. It does have Linux support. MythTV even has support for the great video in/out stuff.
On that note: Go fock yourself.
On another side note: Do you even -have- linux?
I didn't know Jon Johanson and the LAME designers worked for First4Internet?

Nice troll.
Here's a quick scenario:

sorry...I don't know anyone who can't read an analogue clock around here.
Educate the buggers better.
Is this another one of them World/US cultural differences?

Make sure to write any letters or make any calls in the same civil manner as he himself has shown others.
Make extra sure.

It's not made for Joe Sixpack. It's made for Jon Graphicdesigner. Who may not wanna pay the exorbitant license fees for Windows if he can avoid them.
