"Interesting how he assumes that most people would want to download his music."
Or how you assume everyone has the same opinion as you? Some of his songs are funny, some are not, but Amish Paradise, Fat, and the Saga begins are fantastic, not to mention the music videos.
1) Finding out if hardware works with linux is not so simple, many (in the UK) don't have any indication they will work on anything but windows, so you have to search the net to see if its supported, and it might not be officially (Insert Wifi card model here).
2) Some hardware that is supported is so badly supported it might as well not be. ATI cards are like this, I hear Nvidea are easier to setup but are still suck-tackular.
3) Not everyone builds there own computer, joe average goes to PC World and buys the nice black with with lots of mega-giga-hurtz. He doesn't know whats in it. Granted thats more towards the desktop market and not so much for servers.
4) And why, by choosing linux, should I cut myself off from whatever percent of hardware out there just to use Linux? I agree with Linux's ideals, compared to Microsofts, but Microsofts solution works for me (Well, re-install every 6 months, but my hardware works:P). Only Linuc use I have is a server on an old computer, thankfully everything worked out of the box with DSL.
I've just completed my first year at university doing electronic engineering, a good portion was microcontrollers, and although we could have used Ansi C for them (Which we also learnt), we were recommended to use assembly on the basis most in industry do, as portability seems a small issue when coding for microprocessors.
Joe average will not care, nore try to understand any of that. He'll just see it as another way to download things.
The only problem with it would be if it automatically (not overridable in settings) used its built in when ever you click a torrent file. Though I understand a half decent built in client would be nicer.
I think thats down to more individual choice, though generall it seems the most scientifically minded would say no, as would I. As apposed to say the religous minded.
As long as a user can download and install/run software, the system is vulnerable, and there's nothing it can do about it.
Theres your answer then, prevent the user from downloading and installing said software. All you'd have to do is have an integrated IQ test at log on, this could pop up at a 6 month period, if you fall below the desired score by a couple points, it denies you access and tells you to go smart up and stop watching soaps on TV.
If you fall greatly below the desired score the new M$ Vista webcam would track your face and fire a cable with a barbed hook from its underside into you. It would then procede to electricute you until you die. Hence, not only does it prevent user stupidity, it could also do the world a small favour in the process.
...made of aluminium, which as wel all know, are extracted from bauxite (I think is the correct ore if not spelling) using electrolysis (Yep, spelling is going futher away).
Now I've always wondered, how much power does the average windmill make in its life time, as apposed to the energy used to extract the aluminium, machine/shape it into a windmill, build it then hook it up.
If i had to bet on the windmill making up all that lost energy on making it exist I'd not dare put on more than a few pennies.
Pipex are known to do it, so hopefully I won't be with them for much longer, I got an interesting email about my bandwidth use and how I should move my high bandwidth downloads to the early hours. The second one I got told me they were going to start throttling ports to reduce my usage. At this point I phoned them up asking them to cancel my account, they wimped out and went back on the issue (I go 3 months last time I tried to cancel), I recently got an email again from them complaining about bandwidth.
Thing is I pay a couple pounds more for the unlimited service, the cheaper service is limited at something pathetic (1-2 gig a month). Hardly fair play. Currently looking into Demon, see how long it'll take me to switch over.
No you fool, don't you see Halo 3 isn't being made, its not like Halo 1 and 2 sold alot, I mean, its not even like M$ could have some say in this after previous Halos pretty much made the xbox. I mean, is not like the big wigs at bungie are interested in the revenue it would make.

Judging from the amount of people submitting stories, and as such, dupes, I can only assume its a fair amount.

Also see this for more dood killing.

More at 9.
... But hopefully they'll kick the ATI driver team up the arse and get a decent set of drivers out (for Windows and Linux).
Would you allow a technition to fix a photocopyer when he only knows about air conditioning?
Well, considering how many lawyers there are around I can only assume shooting them must be illegal:/
Yes, yes you are coming off as it, well done?

The DVD version of UT2004 Is a doddle to install on Linux, it even has a gui to do it that ran for me when I inserted the DVD.
Always good for a private giggle.
Its me, you, you as well, especially you, you too four eyes, and you, hiding behind him (also on the list) won't help....
Although I cannot be certain, I can guess from 'Shinese' that it could be some sort of cleaning product, maybe its Mr Sheens Aunty?
Unless theres a piece of hardware that doesn't work out of the box.

I think they mean people who wouldn't dare challenge the accusation, even if they did nothing wrong.
I think the process is get a european beer, drink beer, urinate into bottle, lable as American beer.
*Ducks away from American Mods, making sure not to spill his Newcastle Brown*
But thats just another big can of worms.

Must go file this patent.
Suppose two out of three ain't bad.

Don't you see the logic?
Oh wait...
