"Bitch, piss, moan, we can't rape a dead man's music catalogue for cash and many dubious "Best of" albums, boo fucking hoo, I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy etc etc"
Well, I got news for ya RIAA! EASY COME EASY GO, SHUT THE FUCK UP! This is LAW. You aren't allowed to profit by getting new laws in place which benefit you and nobody else! EVER! Especially not in countries which aren't corrupt like the US government! Fuck you and the horse you rode in on. If you want profit, you have to make it the old fashioned honest way: MAKING GOOD NEW MUSIC AND SELLING IT. Unfortunately, the RIAA are used to making profit and not earning it, because "they deserve it".
Fuck that. I wish the US would break them up, considering they are an illegal cartel.
It's because they're focusing on the stupid kiddies that want a fucking camera/MP3 player/ICBM launcher/Jesus in a cage on their phones, as opposed to people who want to make phone calls.
I'm sick of the fucking penis waving that goes on in the UK with regard to phones. At my old school, there were people changing phones every week because they wanted a camera or other such shit.
I know it's kinda offtopic (Mods don't hurt me) but Gentoo has some of the best documentation I've seen for Linux so far. It walks you through system setup, setting up SAMBA, getting ALSA and X to work and using Portage.
I seriously wouldn't worry about letting a noob loose on Gentoo.
I applaud these guys efforts, anyway: every distro needs good docs, but it seems Gentoo has them first:)

In Britain the GCSE (exam taken when you're about 16) for English isa complete son of a bitch. You can't take a poem on its relative merits, nonono, you can't ENJOY THE FRIGGIN POEM and write about what you think of it, you have to deconstruct it, turning every single friggin line into a stream of mumbo jumbo with words like "pentameter" and "rhythm", rather than beautiful poetry. In the same lessons we had to deconstruct, in the same manner, an article on CNN.com. Yes, you heard me right, our job was to deconstruct a CNN article and look for "literary devices" that were apparently deliberately strewn throughout the text. Maybe they were accidental? Dammit, you shouldn't make people deconstruct things and study them in detail! It just pisses them off and stops them from reading, because they remember all that work they did on a 20 line paragraph and thing "fuck that".
Even worse, we had to do war poetry. I don't mind war poetry, but you have a big book full of war poetry and you're only allowed to use about 10 poems from it. This selection is ALL, bar one or two poems, about World War One. There was, IIRC, one poem from WW2 and two from the Cold War. People these days probably wouldn't identify with the WW1 poetry and more with the Cold War poetry, but we were told to focus on the WW1 stuff.
THIS.
SUCKS.
One of the best poems in that book wasn't in that selection, and you were discouraged from doing anything to do with it. Now that is fucked up, and it drives me friggin' mental.
Another brilliant example of why the UK desperately needs exam reform, and why I want to nuke these bastards.
Note that this is no disrespect to my English teacher, who was a brilliant teacher (despite pronouncing "nuclear" as "nukewlar" which drove me utterly nuts), just the exam system which she was teaching.

You can remove IE.
Linky
Removes IE from all versions of Windows 98 and up.
Kicks ass. Makes Windows tolerable.
This isn't flamebait. This is the fucking truth. MPU.
Hey, Elvis is alive...in Japan!
Heh, I often think that :)
Jesus, the US meets all the criteria for a rogue state, and all the criteria we supposedly had for bombing Iraq. FUCKING BOMB THE US ALREADY!

That's the best laugh I've had all day. Cheers for that!
However, they'll probably learn more in that week than they would have done in a year using Fedora.

Ack, retards...
Uh, no.
My Gentoo install, KDE and all, took a day. A DAY.
Beat that.

I thought this was the official site.
WTF is the "strict scrutiny test"?
Is that after choosing PC over Mac I'm several hundred dollars smarter :)
Hmm...
To express themselves and to bring home the bacon?
Seems like it to me.

I love how in that BBC article, they complain about a militant group making a game to gain recruits and train kids up about fighting...
America's Army, anyone?
You just enjoy rubbing it in, don't you...
Possibly the first slashdotting by email, and you go and make it worse!
There's some form of verification.
In and of itself, this could be very easily abused by, say, people with a grudge who want to essentially get someone else an internet death penalty.
1...billion?
Does that include all the 3rd world countries that they're hawking Windows to? All of the Asian markets they intend to monopolise?
This is as close to complete corporate hegemony as we can get. Welcome to the future, sponsored by Microsoft, GE and Exxon Mobil.
RSS feeds, in your taskbar! Heaven, I tells ya :)
I get those.
:)
I also get ones from "Lust" saying that someone has a secret crush on me and to call a premium rate number to find out who...hmm, not bloody likely
I like putting little messages in.

So in RealPlayer, I have things like fuckoffandstopinvadingmyprivacyyousonofacock@fyad
Works a treat.
