Just to let you know, Ubuntu Edgy perfectly detected my Macbook's (first-gen even) Airport card, so there's hope. I'd recommend trying out Ubuntu Feisty when that comes out next month and see if it works.
Your problem is that you're on a PPC computer, and hardly anyone seems to care anymore sadly. I loved the G3 iBook due to its enormous battery life compared to EVERY other notebook I've ever tried.
Copyright violation isn't theft here in the US either. In fact, the word "theft" appears one (1) time in Title 17 of the USC, and it refers to an example of actual theft (for the interested, it refers to a supplier of phonographs (e.g. a record store) does not need to pay the licence fee or something in cases where the phonograph is stolen (this is where it mentions theft) or in the case of a fire, etc.).
The only people who think that copyright infringement is theft is the MAFIAA and all those who have fallen for their propaganda.
I think this time around the "corporate" versions (e.g. Vista Business, Longhorn) use a different key authentication method that involves a locally-run key server. Perhaps they wouldn't be affected by this? As you know, corporate customers provide Microsoft with far more revenue than individual customers (aka home users) or even SOHO's.
Well, if the web browsers handled errors the way they're supposed to (ignore them in some cases, completely fail in other cases like malformed XHTML), people wouldn't be able to get away with errors. Since SGML was so lenient in the first place, we've had the problem where we have an XML standard that lots of people use but hardly anyone uses according to the standards (a big no-no when it comes to pretty much any other XML standard or standard in general).
At this point, Linus is the head maintainer of Linux 2.6, so the majority of the work he does is accepting patches, arguing in the mailing lists, and talking with the other main programmers and "sub-maintainers" (I don't know if they get a special name or anything).
He doesn't need to write code for the kernel to be important at this point. Besides, he contributes code to other things like git (an SCM) and GNOME.
Hell I just run my own DNS server that polls the root ICANN servers and recursively until it gets the IP address. Who pays ICANN? We do. I don't need ads thank you very much.
You're not the one who has to prove your innocence; the prosecution has to prove your guilt. The only case where you're guilty until proven innocent is in military trials usually regarding treasonous activity and other dangerous things.
And what percent of that 90% actually would know how to download and watch movies on their computer? Just because you own a computer doesn't mean you know how to use it. Downloadable movies always has been a geeky sort of thing to do, so the demographic is not everyone who owns a computer.
Besides, I'd be fired if I suggested that we should ignore 10% (likely more) of our potential customers for a silly reason like that.
Ever tried using the Easynews mirror? Easynews is a dedicated Usenet [a.b] provider with extremely fat tubes, so I think you should get a good speed from them. I typically do...
You know, it might be trivial to change emerge's use of wget to use an application that also supports metalinks (or a wrapper to support wget and a metalinks program) which could be useful...

No man, he watched a DVD on Linux! I hear that's a felony nowadays...
Because the package name is sun-java6-jdk (and others in sun-java6-*), and it's in non-free (or multiverse on Ubuntu).
Java 7 will be released under GPL3, so expect to see that in main.
OMG! You're right!
Once the code joins a proprietary project, it's no longer free. And it doesn't free any of the code it joins, so it's not as helpful as GPL code.

Actually, it's closer to 6.3 billion people nowadays. The world's population is approaching 6.6 billion people.

I'd suspect Sun holds this patent..

For free: Ogg Vorbis. If I'm paying for the songs and it costs more than the bandwidth costs are, FLAC.
You can't patent math equations. All software is just a huge math equation. Therefore, software should not be patentable.
But GRUB2 is the only bootloader known to work on your particular configuration. Have fun beta testing! :)
Yeah, that'll happen as soon as someone creates a capitalistic utopia where the invisible hand works and everyone is equally informed.
Those in power want to remain in power, and that's the reason why neither society can be transitioned to properly.
No man, that's Counter-Strike.

Well, I don't believe any useful information is gathered from AC's, so you should be safe from libel lawsuits whilst AC.
Duh!
Some of also hate Apple or Google due to the pissy factor. That way we can have heated debates about everything.
If you wanted the community that believes Google and Apple can do no wrong, just go check digg.
If you don't already have a dedicated download manager (e.g. KGet, FlashGot), Sun's download manager is pretty good in my experience.
Also, you can use dodgeit.com for throwaway email, and bugmenot.com for an account that's already set up for you.
