Hopefully this will change as Linux continues to evolve into a more user friendly system
Linux of course isn't a system. To have much of a market, the myriad incompatible packagings of it will need to consolidate, as well as things like KDE vs. GNOME etc.
All outbound traffic on port 25 is or will be blocked. Outbound email must be routed through their authenticated SMTP agent.
The first statement by no means implies the latter.
I manage just fine without using their crummy low-availability, high-latency relay system.
Remember that there was a recent court decision allowing ISPs to read your email when it touches their hard drive.
One more reason to not relay through them.

What about the fact that they don't play AAC files?
Having to use 50% more space with the mp3 format sucks. I don't get the ITMS fixation -- why would I want to pay *more* for a crummy software-only rip of an album when I can buy the CD for less, rip it myself for personal use, and still have the CD as a backup, complete with liner notes?
Come, now. Any video chip/card made in the last five years (and probably more) is way WAY more than anyone except twelve-year-old game jockeys needs, and they don't buy Macs -- they build their own goofy x86 boxes with neon kits and lowering springs.
It would seem to be impossible to say for sure that it would be possible to know for sure that an existing hardware platform will be able to implement a standard from sometime next year with just firmware.
As for being locked in, this stuff is *cheap*. Worst case, when the real stuff comes out, donate the old to a not-for-profit for a tax deduction.
People are sick of spending $18 on a CD with only a single new track and a bunch of old-favorites-remixed-so-they-are-like-new tracks
Then they should stop electing to buy brand-new copies from storefront retailers.
Actually, I think people are sick of paying $18 for a CD period.
See above. How much of the blame for that $18 pricetag belongs with the RIAA, how much with the labels, and how much with the storefronts? I bought several original, legit CD's last night for 75 cents each.
Also, it's interesting to note that many think nothing of forking out $18 for a single-use restaurant dinner, but paying the same for a CD that can be enjoyed repeatedly is an outrage.
So *THAT'S* how Tupac Shakur is able to keep releasing CD's from beyond the grave.
Ever seen a photo of Tupac and L. Ron Hubbard
together? No? Hmmm, what does that tell you?

Absolutely. Everyone knows that it's really about pr0n and truncated, low-bitrate mp3's from crappy bands.

Not a "Space Periphery"?

If only we'd heeded the advice "Kill it before it grows" back then.
Sony has just released the X505 VAIO laptop Is it as loud and physically flinky as previous VAIOs?

This sounds about as meaningless in the end as POSIX.

Animals as a source of food are very resource-inefficient.

Figuring out which are top quality components can be tough.

Humans only use a small fraction of the oxygen in the air we breathe, so by your reasoning it they can do just fine without it.

Okay, the RIAA/MPAA examples are clear enough, but what's this about Best Buy?
Um, you mean "elected", not "re-elected". To be re-elected he would have had to been elected once before".
If by "Windows" you mean "Microsoft Windows", then please do forgive me as I've never had the displeasure of using such a machine as a desktop.
The average consumer isn't running XFree.
I thought it was gargoyles who kill people. Maybe gargoyles with lasers?

That's what I've read, but I've also had zero success in getting it to work.
