There are already people working on the ATI specs. There was a article about progress being made some time ago by a Novell team.
Dont know about ALSA. Every single card I have no matter how old or vague is supported out of the box. They seem to be doing a excellent job with the sound side of things. Of course there will always be some which arent supported but usually they will be newer or extremely rare.
Its about using the correct tool for the job. Would you prefer printer drivers being in the kernel?
There are already appropriate projects which handle the bits which the kernel driver team are excluding. Dont have a supported printer? Talk to the CUPS guys.
I can see where the fustration and confusion is coming from. I just dont agree with it at all. These guys are kernel developers not CUPS or SANE developers.
Arbitrary yes but its a conservative recommended speed which most people can handle for that particular road in many weather conditions. If speed limits are changed then it means that the speed limit was too dangerous for most people to handle.
The fact is if your arrogant enough to decide what speed you should drive at, you'd be in a crash relatively quickly. Few people would be able to regulate their speed correctly, you really need someone else to set it in stone for you.
You say that the highways in Australia are designed to make money? I say that stupidity is expensive. Break the law and you have to deal with the consequences.
Your implying that with Saddam they had jobs, power, fuel, medical care and without trigger happy gangs?
You'd be mistaken. UN sanctions + dictator = A rather bad situation. At least with the US it will get better over time. In 10 to 20 years it'll be far better.
How can you be sure that the guy who thought of the original idea didnt run for president?:P Assuming he has enough talent to sweep it under the carpet if it ever got out.
I had a friend who was a conspiracy nut. He actually went looking for Orbs once. He's the type of guy who believes that NASA never landed on the moon. Its so fustrating arguing with people like him because they know their right and you know their freaking stupid.
I'd be demanding the source code first but I'd love it if it was effectively a keyboard, massive iMax style monitor and the most powerful surround sound system on the planet. You cant hack any of the above so its relatively safe.
From Microsoft's latest actions I doubt they'll wait for a service pack with Silverlight. It will be instead highly critical (for Microsoft) that its installed whether you want it or not.

Buy a HP printer then. Full printing, scanning, faxing and network support which HP makes GPLed.
http://hplip.sourceforge.net/
What more could you ask for?
Printer support for Linux is pretty damn good atm.
Anyway these are kernel hackers so they wont touch anything other than the kernel.
If I couldnt build a cheaper computer myself, I'd buy a HP computer and if I couldnt get a XP refund I'd return the whole computer for the fun of it.
:D
It would seriously screw with their minds.

Sure sometimes radar guns are inaccurate but its also true that people speed and speeding is highly dangerous.
Imho the latter outweighs the former and radar guns are generally a good thing.
You have no idea if your saying that its similar to Windows.
/backup will do it magnificently.
Even copying programs on Linux (which is harder than a Mac) is significantly easier than Windows.
And then its *way* easier to copy your preferences on both Mac and *nix.

Where is the website which counts the deaths under Saddam's regime?
I never said that I supported it. I only said that the net result will be a improvement.
I'm ignoring the politics behind it all of course.
Thats a completely separate can of worms.
I'm thinking along the lines of your average Iraqi civilian.
Ah you must watch American news right?
Your implying that with Saddam they had jobs, power, fuel, medical care and without trigger happy gangs?

Personally I would prefer the US occupying the country I was in rather than having Saddam run it.
Not by much but out of those two, the US wins by a whisker.

I've heard that 63% of statistics are complete nonsense.
By pinching yourself to make sure your awake or by ditching the drugs which are giving you the hallucinations?
Hahaha that quote made my day.
I had a friend who was a conspiracy nut. He actually went looking for Orbs once.
He's the type of guy who believes that NASA never landed on the moon.

You forgot to mention the pedophiles in the Bible too.
Pity they dont like talking about those parts of the Bible in church.

Oh and a off switch of course.
I agree with you which is why when I click a link to a pdf, it opens in Kpdf in about 2 seconds.
The whole 'document inside a browser' concept irritated me from the beginning.
Dont give them ideas.
Next they'll change the EULA so they *do* own your computer.
Installing Linux or Firefox on it would then be vandalism.
From Microsoft's latest actions I doubt they'll wait for a service pack with Silverlight.
It will be instead highly critical (for Microsoft) that its installed whether you want it or not.
Its working here with Gentoo, Seamonkey and Flash 9.0.48.0.
Got a better idea?
Its a little difficult to prove stuff that small. Especially since there is (in theory) nothing smaller.
Ah so a incompetent monkey is playing with the code instead of MySQL being at fault?
