The settlement CDs should be rejected because they are mostly unsold crap the labels couldn't sell. Rejecting them because "the albums.. did not mesh with the values of a majority of Kansans" is blatent censorship. Censoring material is right up there with the corporate BS that the RIAA pushes around. You, Mr. Phill Kline, are a very bad man.
See what investigative journalism gets you? You'd be better to leave it all alone and let the system be full of holes. I mean, we don't want responsible people to break in and tell us what our problem is. We'd rather someone malicious got in nice and quiet like, and we would never know the difference.
Bloody reporters. Free speech be damned, this time they have gone too far.
I am an undergrad and will have my degree in CompSci in 2 months. About two-thirds of my fellow students cannot write a simple class in ANY language, won't even think of doing anything in Linux (fear of a console), and can't even create a HTML table without assistance from a refernce book. Freaking amazing... yet I have a few friends who fit this description and still have several certifications.
I will soon have to compete with them, thus I'll need to get more certifications than the next guy. The PHB doesn't know the difference between a good admin and the other guy with lots of certs on his resume.
I had WinXP on my laptop (Dell Inspiron 8100) and I wanted to DB FC2 on it. This is what I did. Disclaimer: I am not responsible if you ruin your system by doing anything here.
P.S. An excellent tutorial of this can be found here. Kudos to plate for making it. However, it is for Gentoo install and is slightly different.
First I defragged my WinXP HDD. Then I used System Rescue Cd which has QtParted and resized my ntfs partition and created my linux partitions. I reboot and XP comes back up (it did a dskchk but was fine after that) so my XP install was still in tact.
Then I started FC2 install, when it comes time to setup the boot loader, I chose GRUB and checked the advanced configuration checkbox (Be sure to check that box!) On the next screen, you have it install grub onto your/boot partition (do NOT install it on the MBR or your WinXP partition will likely be fudged).
Finish installation, I reboot and I enter WinXP. So everything there is still good there. Now I boot up with a LiveCD (I just grabed my Knoppix cd from the shelf). I open up a root terminal and type:
dd if=/dev/hda2 of=fedora-boot.bin bs=512 count=1
where/dev/hda2 is the/boot partition. I took the fedora-boot.bin (you can actually call it whatever you want) and wrote it to a floppy. Reboot into WinXP again, put the fedora-boot.bin file in C:\ and then edit your boot.ini file. It's hidden rather well in XP, but you can edit it by opening up Windows Explorer, right clicking on My Computer and clicking Properties. Then click on Advanced, then under Startup and Recovery click Settings. A new windows opens up, then click the Edit button. Add this line at the end:
C:\fedora-boot.bin="Fedora Core 2"
Save the file and close all the windows. When you reboot you should have a Windows bootloader screen where you can choose FC2, start than and you will come to a Grub loader screen with only FC2 as an option, start that and wait for FC2 to load.

That was it, dual boot FC2 and XP on same disk. Hope this helps.
What the RIAA really want, and what they will surely push for is this...
Every ISP is forced by law to install monitoring software on their customers computers. If the software is not running, is not updated regularly, or is modified in anyway, then the ISP is notified and the customer's service is cut off. An appropriate law enforcement agency is contacted and your computers and all media are then scheduled for a regular audit by one of the new IP Enforcment Agencies.
How long can all this irony go on? The humor of it all just seems to keep increasing. I have to wonder if someone isn't behind all this, writing the plot and handing out scripts.
The RIAA does not control the distributers that are not members of it.
Think of the many universal flops that the music industry has created over the years. The bands that came out and never even had a single hit song. These unpopular and still mostly unknown bands sell virtually no songs. The laws of supply and demand would say that this music would be dirt cheap. Yet in the eyes of the music industry, they price it the same as everything else. Example: iTunes 99 cents a song is flat rate pricing, set by the music industry. There is no supply and demand here, it's price fixing.
There are a lot of GPL GUIs out there, I recommend using them rather than Microsoft's. First off, most of them are cross platform. Secondly, I have never known Microsoft to not have an agenda for anything they did. If you use this toolkit, you may want to beware as to what rights Microsoft may try to claim over it at a later date. Whether the claims were founded or not, I would not want to fight MS in court.
So assume, M$ doesn't release SP2 to the illegal WinXP users. Now as all the new (and existing) worms start their squirm of terror over the net, who should we blame? The worm coders, of course; but how responsible is it that a certain company knows that worms will quickly propogate through their widely pirated software and refuse to make available a patch?
So the whole internet must pay the price becuase Microsoft wants to get back at the teenagers who won't dish out the $300 for their buggy OS. Yeah, that makes *perfect* sense.
The creative minds of Comcast sit to think of a new name for their 'tech' channel.
Marketing Person 1: "Well, we had G4 and TechTV. We've got to think of a new, inspired name. Something fresh and inviting to the tech geeks and gamers."
Marketing Person 2: "Hmmm, I don't know. That's a lot to shoot for, Person 1. I'm not very tech savy. I don't even know how to make my computer stop flashing 12:00 all the time."
MP1: "... your computer? Are you sure you don't mean..."
MP2 *excitedly*: "I GOT IT! We could call it G4TechTVTV!"
MP1 *also excitedly*: "Brilliant! Lets drop the TV at the end though, It might confuse those stupid viewers. How in the world did you come up with such a slick name?"
MP2: "Haha. Now I can't give away ALL my secrets now. I didn't spend two years at a community college for nothing."
He totally avoids answering the question completely.
Region codes for parallel imports, blah, blah...
What about making personal copies?
Parallel imports, mumble, mumble...(silence)
Then they go on to the next question.

The settlement CDs should be rejected because they are mostly unsold crap the labels couldn't sell.

How many stories have there been on slashdot of this exact same thing happening?
Not near enough to compete with the Mozilla updates.

Hmm, I guess Google's numbers differ from this one's
Convert 18000 miles per hour to mach results in this:
18000 mile / hour =
24.2765944608701 Mach at sea level & 32 dF
(velocity)
Of course, you realize that the space shuttle travels at 5 miles per second while in orbit already.
That's 18000 mph; faster than mach 24. But then again there's no sound in space, so measurements in mach don't make too much sense for spacecraft.
There is a reason we don't call them phone addresses.
Egads... Can you even imagine what routing tables would look like 10 years down the road if this is upheld?
The way the US government throws its money around, I see no problem with $10B. It recently approved at $417B defense bill. See here.
Heck, they'll likely build a matching pair of 'em just because they can.

IE still doesn't display fixed positioning correctly in cascading style sheets. It usually just ignores you when you set something to fixed.
See thru walls? Wow, oh wait, thats what windows are...
Then again, Microsoft has the trademark on those.

This type of apple is apparently very susceptible to worms.
Microsoft released a patch, which basically involves cutting out the core and replacing it with a Macintosh core.

Because you can. Overclocking is only partly for the results, mostly its because its a basic instinct that geeks have.
I overclocked my alarm radio and now I have an additional 5 hours each day.
