I realize that I am late to the party on this article... but I just wanted to say that if they offered a service where I could pay 20 bux or so per season to download new 24 episodes when they hit the air (or even the next day) I would be all over it. I would even prolly still by the dvds when they hit the shelves (since, lets be honest, dvd authoring in linux is still kindof a bitch)
I would really like to see a situation where you can subscribe to a tv show like you subscribe to a magazine.

I would like all stories that contain the word "blog" to be put into their own category, and an option added to the preference page that would allow them to be ignored. I don't know why they bother me... but they REALLY do.
as I replied to the other troll... I love gentoo and I do a lot to try to promote its use... If I liked the exclusivity factor I wouldn't spend so many hours walking new users through the install.
actually your attitude is exactly my point about the public image of gentoo. You and the majority of the linux community, sit there looking for a reason to dismiss every gentoo user as a script kiddie.
by the way I like to promote new users so much that if there is anybody out there who would like my assistance installing gentoo just contact me (username uglyman) on the forums. No previouse linux experience needed.
you COMPLETELY missed my point... notice my reply to my own message where I say the new installer is great and I will probably use it. I don't give a shit about being 1337, What I do care about is the public image of gentoo.
I am not better than any other good user of another distro... I don't care if new people try it. in fact I often tell new people to try it and I have walked many new people through the install over IRC over the years.
I have also provided much email support and support on forums to new users. I have taught people in person how to do it, and I have walked people through it on the phone before.
I would love for gentoo to be the primary new user distro out there... I would love it to have the easiest install of any distro... what I fear is the transition time where people who want to be 1337 but couldn't figure out how to run gentoo will jump on board. I fear the flood of IRC conversations and stuff on the forums where users claim they use the ultra r33t gentoo.
We are about to see a flood of new users with the funroll-loops.org attitude jump on board, which will cause many people to hate. That is what I am worried about.
btw I should add that they are doing a great job on this project and I will probably use it myself. I just hate the idea of creating more gentoo hate out there
this just means that more and more lam3rs will be able to figure out how to install my favorite distro and claim they are 1337 because of it.
I LOVE gentoo, I have been using it since well before version 1.0 was released... but I am so tired of the public relations nightmare the gentoo foundation has on its hands where, lame people claim they are smart because they use gentoo, which causes good linux guys who could benefit from this great distro to look somewhere else. This isn't gonna help.
I would like to submit this proposal for your review. I am seeking funding for a new research project. Please grant me the funds needed so that I can deploy rain sensing equipment to every residence in the Seattle area.
This project will record 3 years of data and prove once and for all whether or not it actually rains in seattle.

They forgot to mention that the new IE will render the letter "K" as the letter "O", and vice versa.
This feature should be easy to deal with, so long as pages are designed with it in mind. Unfortunately this will cause some confusion when trying to use the expression "O.K." or the boxing term "K.O.".
The new feature that causes the letter "e" to appear as a tiny version of the explorer logo is now slated for version 7.1, it had to be delayed due to technical problems. Consumer research shows that people think that the explorer logo is cuter than the letter "e".
if it really becomes easy to upload your own videos.. then yes it will be used for something other than porn... soon, you will be able to see videos of people watching porn also!
I always liked borland's C/C++ IDE, although I never got much chance to use jbuilder. When I was going to the local community college the first time around, they gave us a choice to use either borland or MS IDEs. I always used borland... Then a couple years and a couple jobs later I was back at the same school to find that only MS IDEs were supported. By then it didn't matter cause I was using linux at home and did all my homework in vim with gcc.
I had a bunch of the castle sets. I always liked the space ones, but the castles REALLY caught my imagination. My favorite was the "black monarch's castle" you could swing the back two quarters open to make it like the front wall of one huge castle. It had a ton of good spots for guys to shoot imaginary arrows at imaginary attackers (cause I never got my hands on the white castle).
aww crap... thanks a lot guys I am gonna have to get out my collection now.
When I was a senior in high school the pahantom menace came out and I collected a ton of the star wars sets for a while. I was working at target at the time. They had this deal where they would cash your check for you at the customer service counter and I had my employee discount.
not much of my paycheck ever saw the bank that year, and my penis didn't see ANY vagina that year either.
I currently have a fan mounted at an angle under my drive bays. I just used small nylon "zip ties" to attatch it to some unused screw holes in my case. Might have cost more than 10 cents... but not much more, and I didn't have to buy the screws either. Plumbers Epoxy putty is another thing I use for stuff like this sometimes, just make sure you wrap it around the stuff you are holding because it doesn't stick to some materials.

love the casual use of the name Satan. great way to describe him.
w00t! finally a blond haired/blue eyed satellite
in soviet russia they are in a different timezone you insensitive clod! I am so tired of these U.S. centric posts.
I think google is replacing microsoft as the source of all evil in the world.

its so sad... people always forget Donatello.
I wonder how long before marvel sues them for this.
I can see the settlement now. The new addition to the ultimates will be "clippy" the mutant paperclip.

and I want a pet unicorn, wish us luck everybody!
well I don't know about the other hunters.... but I look for the ones that will be tasty.
It is times like this that I find it amusing to consider who would win in a fight to the death between leo laporte and John Dvorak.
I am pretty sure leo would take him, but I suppose it depends if they are allowed to use weapons.

yeah! it absolutely is! I will start holding my breath... NOW!
right.. and when you send your report don't forget to include all your contact information in case they need to get ahold of you.
don't forget Name, Address, Phone number, birthdate, and social security number so they can verify the report.
goodie...
