Hybrids are pretty practical nowadays if you can get a hold of one. The Honda Insight gets ~60 miles to the gallon, and has a 10g tank. So, that makes for about 600 mile range. They go for about 20k, not much more than any other new car.
The idea is to concatanate the LiveCD and the install disk. If your installing a desktop system, you only need one disk, rather than two. The installation disk is for servers, minimal installs, or OEM/auto installations.
This really simplifies things with Ubuntu's ShipIt, which sends free CDs to anyone.
This is a good thing (TM). In many RPGs, the fighting engine ends up being nothing more than mindless button mashing. I game that removed that redundancy would really appeal to me. Change isn't always bad!
The pop-up key stealing bit happens on Linux too. Ever kick a app off and while waiting switch to the browser and then the one you launched first thrusts itself into view? Happens to me on Linux too.
This behavior is fixed in Ubuntu 6.4 (and upstream GNOME 2.14, I believe). Another advantage of open development: when people make negative comments on interface, they can be fixed. Sane defaults are the striving on Ubuntu and GNOME.
Is there an mp3 player that ships with open specs and open firmware? If there were an mp3 player to be developed that shipped with open firmware, that would be quite a productive platform for development. Look how much has been done with the iPod, and all of that was reversed engineers! If a manufactorer was straightforward and released the firmware, so much more could be done. Does such a product exist?
* sell us reasonablely priced music * give the money to who earned it, the musicians
there's always going to be a backdoor, more hardcore theives will always find a way. but if you sell music that is not outrageously priced, i bet more people will buy it rather than pirate it.
Ubuntu Backports backports packages from the unstable branch, and makes sure they're stable. I have the latest versions of firefox, gaim, and other software. Check it out: http://backports.ubuntuforums.org/
I didn't RTFR either. I might as well just ask a few typical slashdot questions; they will probably apply.
Is there a Linux version available?
Is it opensource?
Microsoft is the scum of the earth, no?
fIrEf0x pWnz IE aNi d@y
okay, the last one isn't a question, but it's probably the most relavent.
While this is true, I think your missing my point. I shelled out my twenty bucks for the movie, I shouldn't have to spend any more just to play it on a different device.
Oh great! Now I need three copies of Spiderman 2 for each device in my house! A VHS for my old TV, a DVD for my other television with a DVD player, and now I need to buy another copy of it for my PSP! Joy, I love buying the same product three times!
But really, can we decide on one format, instead of pumping out a new format for every single device?

Your going to need to be Rioch as hell to afford one of these!
I would like to check this out, but I don't have a spare partition. Is there a live CD of the development snapshot available?
There's no version for Linux. That makes me a sad penguin.
First comment. I never get first comment :)
Ubuntu uses dates for their versioning system. Since dapper was released in 2006 in the month of June, the 06th month, it is called 6.06.

I like my personal cobbled-together POS. That's what Linux is for :-D

Debian Unstable is labeled "Unstable" for a reason.
$vi ~/todo
I hate to say that your mistaken. Microsoft is dropping the "My" from "My computer". This is a revolution of operation system technology.
Thank you, Debian team, for all your hard work!

But the question remains: Will it run Linux? ;-)
5 steps?
The apache 2.0 license has a clause about patents, whereas the GPL does not.

Contrary to popular belief, there is a very popular open source p2p program available: http://www.limewire.com/
