It might work in pansy liberal love fests like the netherlands but with the various fringe groups that inhabit the USA such a system involving fees on blank media would never work.
first of all you got the "tough on everything" morons that will think it "sends out the wrong message" and secondly you got the "randian" cultists^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h libertarians who will cry bloody murder over the fact that "they might use the blank media for something else".
What if they started "paying" (like 1 buck per somethingsomething) people for producing energy. they could store and resell it and some people would have a psychological incentive to excersise.
No, those drivers would most likely be written by the community anyways.
To me it seems more like an initiative to figure out which companies use "we don't have the staff/resources for an open driver" to keep their drivers proprietary.
f you believe all the hype, installing the new Windows Vista operating system will solve world famine, end the AIDS crisis and bring about world peace.
If those windows zombie botnets were used for scientific work instead of sending spam I'm sure it would in fact have a positive impact.
Definately, I too have a remote server to keep track of mail between my boxes.
I got a 30 bucks a month DDS with 80 gigs of space. Combined with IMAP and SMTP i can keep all my mail synced with the various, laptops/desktops/smartphones that i have.
also, if you are an avid IM/IRC user you can use it as a bouncer. check out this Killer setup i used as an example for mine.
And in the netherlands we have democracy in which seats of parliament are devided by percentage of votes (unlike the american "winner takes all" approach )
This means that we have dozens of parties competing per election.
Now all of them have their own ideas and standpoints, and having to read all their party programs is tedious and boring.
Seeing as most people are more interested in soccer matches than politics the "stemwijzer" is a very good way in finding out which party represents your view. I consider it to be a great aid in democracy as voters make more INFORMED choices regarding who to vote for.
(On a sidenote, I voted sp and I didn't need no stinkin "stemwijzer" to decide that, but then again I'm a political geek)

dammit, perhaps i was a bit enthousiastic, but common a troll? someone needs to posi up.
This could mean the FINAL BLOW to the evil empire
MSFT is quietly trying to weasel it's way into the linux world through Novell
Without their Novell patent strongarming they have no single foothold within the Linux world.

Like it fucking matters, if you have so many goddamn elections why is it YOU STILL ONLY HAVE TWO MAJOR PARTIES TO VOTE FOR.
We have apt and *.debs
I'm not in the mood for a holy war right now, but for fucks sake, Debian perfected package management a decade ago.

Telus decided to introduce the service after noticing that there existed a certain 'segment of the population that is interested in that content'
You mean 98.7 percent of the entire adult population.
Dude, what the fuck are you bitching about.
since when are the dead kennedies and the clash "sk8rpunk"
The whole tony hawk series have allways had a great variety in music available.
Only to have the project canceled due to the fascist DMCA .
This better be clean room reverse engineering.
And we can also be sure that Some 'Potential-customers' May refuse Work With Vista as well.

We don't support the EU either.

Or GTFO!
Everyone who listens to techno is an idiot.
Oh wait, you meant the OTHER techno
It fails to mention popular levels as for instance CS_dust in counterstrike, not to mention the freedom of GTA "Levels".
Learn to read, I never said they were the same level of reading.
What I said was that I find it surprising for a company like microsoft ditching one of the biggest growing world markets.
For a company with business practicess like MSFT this has got to be some kind of PR stunt
Additionally, and more importantly, this version contains the latest in Microsoft DRM software. Interested parties can download a free copy"
You're saying it like DRM is a feature.
The internet is filled with Murder, Sex and violence and Myspace to begin with.
Kinda hard to redefine isn't
Allright, I've had it. from now on NO MORE SONY.
If I absolutely positively must have any of its media(games movies cds etc) or electronics products i'll either warez it or buy it second hand.
None of my money will ever support those greedy assholes again.
