Just thought I'd update you on this: the only thing that has to be Apple-made in a Mac nowadays is the logic board (motherboard). Everything else is swappable.
I really don't see how that works as a cheap file/print server. Linux + CUPS + Samba [ + NFS ] are all free (both types), so I don't see an issue. You could even use OpenBSD or another variant of BSD as well.
Although it seems like the rounded corners on Slashdot are off by a pixel now. Hrmmm...
BUT! Now Konqueror comes with an easy to use AdBlock thing! There's now a filter icon on the bottom, and you can create/modify rules from there just like the Adblock extension.
Hey, money that isn't backed by gold is just like shares in a corporation; we just trust government mints to stay far more stable than public corporations (despite inflation). Therefore, your argument isn't too valid (unless you can point to some currency that is indeed backed by gold or some other [rare, finite] natural resource, and is in wide use).
Physical assets can increase (e.g. house) or decrease (e.g. car) in value, too, so that's not very stable.
No; the BSD licence is too restrictive in this sense as well. What he wants is the public domain to come back as the only thing that "owns copyright" and other "intellectual property". You publish something, it belongs to the public. End of story. Even if you don't publish it and it ends up in the public, it's now public domain and can be used and exploited by anyone for any reason they wish.
I fucking hate that file dialogue too, but that's an issue with GTK+ (gnome.org, gtk.org). They're the ones who insisted on that piece of crap for a file dialogue for a long time; I hear they de-shitified it a bit in the latest GNOME release.
SQLite is used in tons of programs. It is indeed a light-weight SQL database that is most commonly used in a simple environment where data needs to be stored and retrieved quickly.
P.S. do you know what the proper way to mark up phrases like the above that are stolen from foreign languages?
Ruby? I've never used it (the thing from XHTML 1.1, not the programming language), but that might work.
Also, I think there's a much better chance of APNG becoming standardised than MNG becoming widespread. APNG will become part of the standard libpng library, and it's much simpler to implement than MNG was.
According to the folks at Nintendo, Wii doesn't have high-end specs because it was designed to be small (about the size of 3 DVD cases), quiet (so you can leave it on 24/7), and very power efficient (again, for leaving it on 24/7). Take a look at the Xbox 360 and current models of the PS3; these things are huge and can run very hot if not ventilated correctly. This is due to their huge amount of computing power.
A lot of non-free software uses GTK+ since they don't have to spend thousands of dollars on proprietary licences for Qt. I'm quite positive it's a choice of cost over quality.
Just because it doesn't allow you by default doesn't mean you can't do some sort of force install. Most programs involving installation (e.g. dpkg, rpm) have some sort of --force option that ignores all warnings, errors, etc. If a user wants to install something and they're sure that it's okay to do so, they can manually force it to install.

Or, y'know, they can type "apt-get install some-program", or point and click in an interface like Synaptic or Adept. Fucking FUD is all your post is.
There are games other than FPS?
Yes, I know there are MMOGs and RTS's, but those tend to run in WINE, and they don't require top of the line hardware to function.

Weird Al, too.
How about fixing the problem that's exploited rather than try to hide the problem's existence in the first place?

Forget video editting; what about porn?
Uh, cp?
Dude, how did you know the name of my porn folder?
Apple is playing catch-up to UNIX. Wait, that doesn't make sense...

More like 2%. But it seems as though most of that increase has already backed down again according to Google.

Nah man, they're just undercutting them, and that's what Walmart and Target did. iTS can do that without having to lay off people and whatnot.
Yeah, but you need an extension to enable it.

Some people like having the close button on the tabs. You can do this in basically any other browser with tabs, so why not Firefox as well?

Uh, you design for the LSB, and that's it. If a user's distro doesn't comply with LSB, you can't support that user (to an extent).
Besides, things like UT2k4 work just fine, and it isn't really designed with any specific distro in mind.
