KDevelop has a VIM mode for its text editor, I believe. Under Settings|Editor|Text Editor.
Or at least it used to, a long time ago. You might need to install it as a separate package, or your distro might not package it (silly thing).
But I have the latest version of Flash for Linux installed...
Check that you really do have the latest flash. I got that error while using the latest flash-nonfree from Ubuntu, but it wasn't really the latest version. Go to about:plugins and check that 9.0 r115 (I think I had r45 from ubuntu before) is installed.
According to TFA, you still can open and save the files (Word 95 and older, and other ancient formats), you need to edit the registry to enable the formats.
Wouldn't it be great to go grab a package from freshmeat or sourceforge and...oh look that's the package type I need....
See the Autopackage project, and there's a fairly large amount of software packaged using it. It works, but distros don't like it because they're afraid that the developers packages might mess up your system, so they refuse to support it. *shrug*
No. Suse can't be a target for the simple reason that Novell and MS have both signed a mutual agreement no to sue (in addition to agree to collaborate for interoperation).
Incorrect. Novell and Microsoft agreed not to sue each other customers. They can still sue each other. See this:
Q5. Novell's November 2 press release states that, "Novell will also make running royalty payments based on a percentage of its revenues from open source products." Are these payments for a patent license to Novell?
No. Novell has no license or covenant not to sue from Microsoft under this agreement. The payments are for Microsoft's covenant directly to Novell's customers. By the same token, Microsoft's customers receive the same covenant from Novell in return for payment from Microsoft to Novell. http://www.novell.com/linux/microsoft/faq_opensour ce.html
Google Analytics has been re-designed to help you learn
And them too. Whenever you access a site that uses Analytics, Google now "knows" you've been there, how you got there, how often you go there... (and can link it to your google account through your google cookie).
It's not a closed system because it requires energy to recycle the aluminum and gallium. Also, it's still not terribly efficient, since it requires 1 lb of aluminum per mile you drive.
However, the current implementation requires that I have a bloated reader that typically includes Additional Crap (tm) in the installation which installs by default (if even given the option).
Try another PDF viewer. KPDF and XPDF are both great for Linux/X users. For a barebones Windows viewer, try SumatraPDF.
If you're stuck with Adobe Acrobat for some reason, then you might try these instructions to make Acrobat run a lot faster.
I have at least three kernel modules working on this system which were not part of the original source tree.
That's not my point. My point is that it's usually very difficult to use drivers that aren't part of the tree. For example, I've yet to get the vmware guest system drivers working without hacking the code (because of changes in some structs and functions in kernel in version 2.6.19, IIRC).
I also was never able to get the some Atmel WLAN drivers working in 2.6 because they're now unmaintained, and the 2.6 kernel has changed to much.
Also, I relied on Win4Lin 9x for a while to run Windows 98 on my Linux box. This required that I compile some kernel modules. However, Win4Lin as dropped support for the "9x" version, and so I can no longer make Win4Lin work on my modern systems because of the unstable nature of the Linux kernel (only on 2.4 and on <2.6.9)
Recall that Microsoft update was, in it's original incarnation, meant to be *the* portal for drivers/hardware utilities from hardware manufacturers
Just like Linux? (For a kernel module to actually work, it's got to be part of the kernel tree).
Or like the centralized repository method that distros use?
We could use cheap ink. It would be AMAZING. You could print out photographic posters for cents. You could redecorate your house with your own designs or photos like wallpaper.
The ink is expensive because HP/Canon/Whoever spent lots of money developing inks that work well with the paper you print on (and because it's high quality). You can buy cheap/crappy ink, but it's not going to look the same as a high quality HP ink on HP Photo Paper.
- installs new software correctly, in default and custom locations - Check Use --prefix to choose your own location
- uninstalls old software correctly - Check Doesn't everything do this?
- updates old to new software correctly - Sorta It will upgrade properly if you download the new package file. It doesn't yet automatically update, but it's planned.
- is aware of and can work with custom-installed libraries and dependencies (i.e. EVERYTHING doesn't have to be installed using this system, some stuff can be compiled from source or downloaded from third party). - Check Autopackage looks for the actual files (usually, shared libraries) instead of in a database.
- is scriptable through some command-line interface - Check It has text, GTK, and Qt frontends. All installs are non-interactive, and therefore are scriptable.
- isn't a pain in the neck - You'll have to try it to find out...
Why would the Bush administration care who wins and who loses?
It's not necessarily the Bush Administration, but on average more wireless companies give money to Republicans than Democrats. See this page on OpenSecrets. AT&T (Cingular) and Verizon both gave more money to Republicans than Democrats.
If someone hosts a website of songs, and I go to that website and I download them, then the RIAA may very well come after me.
No, IIRC, they have never sued someone for downloading songs, only for distributing them/making them available on a P2P network. They will, however, sue the owner of the site which you downloaded them from.
Of course, when you "download" over a P2P network, you are always distributing them to other people (that's what makes the network tick).
Now, though, I'm sure I'll get a million replies with links to articles about how the RIAA sued someone for downloading from an FTP server...

The article has an example of an entry that downloads code off a server and executes it instead.

I read both the linked articles, but I didn't see a ref to $1/watt... What did I miss?
Use mplayer to decode it and lame to encode it:

The FSF does the same thing...so if you contribute to any GNU project, you must assign your copyright to them. See this for details.
