Don't forget to factor in the cost of that big screen TV. I can go to a movie once a week at $30/visit for two years before you can break even on a $3,000 + tax TV.
Then again, I never spend $30 at the movie theatre, nor do I go on an even semi-regular basis.
My guess is that they're targeting those that buy from Dell, and then wipe the Windows partition to install Linux.
They're more or less allowing you to use what you already paid for.
While I don't see this being used much, it's definitely nice to see that companies are recognizing the *nix market.
Aye, thanks for explaining it. I apologize for not clarifying it in my original.
Right now we're just encouraging registered Democrats and Independents to get out and vote, but we have pretty strict rules about what we can and cannot say. Basically, we can't use the name of any candidate while encouraging someone to vote. We can, however, talk about the policies of the individual candidates.
I find it ironic because anyone from Orlando knows how much of a mess our mayoral election has been.
Oddly enough, I work for a 527 group in Orlando, and I didn't hear anything about this today. Then again, most of the people that I work with are bleeding heart liberals that are more worried about voter intimidation than anything else.
The parent had said that he's sick of using the AIM client, which to me signals that he's running Windows, because no sane person would use the Linux port. Since Kopete is a Linux app, I left it off of my listing of possible alternatives.
Have you tried some of the other clients, such as Trillian or gAIM? Perhaps you would like those better.
*Disclaimer* Before anyone jumps on me for not mentioning Kopete, he was talking about the AIM client, and no Linux user in their right mind would use the Linux port of AIM's client.
"If you had sense, you'd get a roll of the grip tape skaters use and it'd be cheaper and faster."
You do realize that grip tape is essentially just fine grained sandpaper with a sticky back, right? I don't think that would be the most comfortable thing to rub your hands on for all-night Halo sessions.
From the article: "Until that can be answered, his lobby contends that the safest course is to block Internet sharing -- after all, he noted, you can just pop a DVD in the mail."
Don't they also dislike the idea of people using DVD-Rs to distribute their material?
"I imagine it won't be quite as good as running the software under Linux, in terms of performance"
Couldn't that be the point that MS is trying to show?
"Oh look at the obvious performance difference between native Windows apps and these *nix apps."

I think most graffiti artists would agree with you. I'm sure he's been labeled a "sellout" by his peers for turning his work into a medium for advertisements.
I live in a relatively small town, so I don't see any gang-related pieces, but I agree about the stencil work.
People generally do that either because they don't have the skill to do a real piece, or like you said, because it's quick and gets the point across.
I don't see very many political pieces around here, but that's mainly because the main kids that paint here are really into zombies, monsters, and robots.

Did that make sense, or am I just rambling?

Sorry, I forgot that we were only looking for serious replies to a post that was pondering how many votes Linus will get in the election.
He got 23% of the vote in the kde-look.org poll, thus giving him the majority vote by a percentage point over Kerry.
Neither the linked article nor the desktoplinux.com article have said whether or not this keyboard will be wireless.
It seems rather useless to me if it has a wire.

I'm really surprised that Unreal Tournament 2004 didn't get the vote.
But what if you were affected by the malfunctioning brakes before the recall.
It's all well and good to blame malware problems on the user's lack of patching, but some people are affected before a patch in available.
"On the flip side, you could also be blamed for not keeping your computer patched, so it's your own fault for not securing your bank info."
If you're walking down the street, and someone beats you up and steals your money, does that mean that it's your fault for not taking karate?
Exactly.
On top of not wanting to pay for a music service that doesn't serve my musical interests, the said service won't run on my chosen operating system.

Slashdotting the International Mathematical Olympiad's website, perhaps?
Shrug.
My only guess is that it's a mere matter of tradition, as opposed to written law?
From the article: "As an American citizen he cannot use the title "Sir" but will be entitled to put the letters KBE after his name."
There's a simple solution to the DRM issue: buy vinyl!
Aye, I realized that after I submitted it.
I take that back.
