I can see you've never wrestled with a Palm Lifedrive in drive mode (allows you to use it like a flash stick) on Windows. Works fine on Linux. Who would have guessed.
Your not using a standard *Desktop* distro. Before you make a fool of yourself go download Knoppix or something.
Use your computer a lot and/or leave it running for awhile and you'll notice that RAM usage keeps going up.
I just recently rebooted my computer but my server running Samba, Apache and a few other things says this: Mem: 2059352k total, 1558132k used, 501220k free, 277372k buffers Swap: 795208k total, 256k used, 794952k free, 685484k cached
As you can see its currently got nearly 700mb of ram used as disk cache.
If there is memory just sitting around doing nothing then why not use it? I love it. My (Linux) system rarely uses less than the full gig of ram I have yet it never swaps.
Does Belgium even have fair use? Australia doesnt although the law doesnt really care. E.g. Its technically illegal to rip a cd here but a court would never rule against you for ripping your cd collection.
Nothing. As long as you dont bitch about the results its fine.
Kinda pointless going to vote if your just going to do that. You might as well just vote and get it over with.
In Australia its manatory to vote in National and State elections and Referendums.
People who dont get fined.
Our system is very streamlined. Walk in, check your name off a list and vote. The process takes a minute tops.
If people dont care then they can part with some of their money.
Making voting compulsory solves many problems and when done correctly makes the country happier. We are forced to pay attention to who we are voting for thus having a greater understanding about whats going on.
We also dont get people saying that the Ballots were rigged.

I use Gentoo personally.
:)
I use two usb wireless adaptors extensively. Both are 802.11b.
D-Link DWL-120 (linux-wlan-ng driver)
Some cheap Belkin adaptor (at76c503 driver)
When I bought them I wasnt expecting to use them on Linux either.
Two random adaptors and they work nicely.
OpenTTD is great. Its easy enough to find a copy of the original files on the net.
My 5 favourites would have to be something like this:
1. UT GOTY
2. Wolfenstein 3d
3. Quake 3
4. Age of Empires II
5. Duke Nukem (1, 2 and 3d)
But the Yahoo toolbar wasnt removed and I doubt the spyware installed with some of the toolbars was removed.
It wont take long for all toolbars to be updated to suvive a reset.
But the guy *didnt* have admin privelages. Look at the Protected Mode. Thats turned off if your admin.
Do show me how you can install a Firefox extension without manual intervention.
Infact show me how anything can automatically install a Linux program.
For a normal user it *will* just let toolbars install themselves however.
Give me 5 mins and I'll make a toolbar which does that. ;)

Wifi support is brilliant actually.
Every wifi card (PCMCIA and USB) I've gotten my hands on works fine.
I know there is a couple which dont work but they arent the rule.
D-Link actually tells you what driver to use for each of their products.
Interesting. It also stuffs up Seamonkey's horisontal scroll bar.
I thought it was just plain html.
Are you sure about that? Do you know that it doesnt give up memory if something needs it?
Just because your using 100% of your memory doesnt mean that you have 0% free memory.

It uses memory the same way Linux does.

Really? Last time I checked MS required third parties to fix their flaws. There has been several slashdot articles about it.
Thanks to Gentoo I have learnt how to quickly and accurately diagnose errors and most of the time find the solution too.
Maybe you should learn how to give the devs the information they need instead of being a whiney baby complaining 'uhci no work'.
The only time 'emerge world' will break something is if a new binary incompatible library comes out or something drastic changes.
A recent example is libexpat which is solved by running 'revdep-rebuild' overnight.
Thats odd. 'emerge world' works just fine for me. :P
Great! Now my shopping list will boil down to one item to power me and my computer!
I just got a new server yesterday. Its already installed and running smoothly.
I use Gentoo on everything I can get my hands on. My desktop, my servers and I even mucked around with getting it going on my Palm Lifedrive.

Whenever the power fails. Thats very rarely.
If you dont want to vote for anyone then you usually go start your own political party. :P
The fact is you have to go vote. Most people wouldnt go to the bother to go vote and then submit a invalid vote.

Because they can. :)
