Other open source software on both images include audacity and lame, and other free software such as Google Earth, iTunes, Adobe and many plug-ins.
What the fuck? I have never heard someone who knows anything about computers call Google Earth, iTunes and anything written by Adobe "free software."
I thought this guy was a d-bag when he fired off a shitty e-mail to some middle school teacher, but it turns out he also has no goddamn idea what he's talking about.
It wouldn't be too hard to publish that information on their website and send a letter to everyone who registered their hardware to that effect. I think that would have satisfied the FSF to the point where there wouldn't have been a lawsuit.
Maybe the developers who maintain a website that clearly said "We are working on hardware support. X and Y don't work except for on version A of distro B, unless you can figure it out, sorry," are a little tired of people coming in and saying IT DOESN'T WORK all the damn time. It's a DVR, it requires specialized hardware, and a limited number of developers can't support everything. If, when it doesn't work, your reaction is, "This is shit," don't be surprised if they don't take it well. Without hardware support, they won't be able to convince you it's any good anyway, so why the fuck would you cop an attitude?
If the system you have works fine, then there's no need to mess with it. I applaud you for giving Linux a fair shake for this application.
However, no one actually claimed that it would work with your video card and capture card (and a lot of people made claims to the contrary). So don't go around saying it doesn't live up to its reputation. Instead of saying LINUX AND MYTHTV SUCK, you should say LINUX AND MYTHTV SUCK IF YOU ARE USING AN ATI ALL-IN-WONDER 9600XT AND HDTV WONDER SO DON"T TRY IT OR YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINTED.

The article you link to is inaccurate. The EFCA would provide card check as an alternative means of certifying a union, not as a replacement for a secret ballot.
The "Application Windows" function of Expose is pretty useful. If you're already in the app, hit it and find your window. If you're not, use the "All Windows" function.
If we really need more ethanol fuel, then we ought to repeal the tariff on Brazilian cane ethanol, which is much more energy efficient than American corn ethanol. (Or French or German or British, for that matter.)
Who's talking about pork? I'm talking about bipartisan agreement in favor of retarded policies because our method of electing a president gives priority to the local issues in states where the partisan split is close to 50-50.
Also, when has California not paid its "fair share"? According to this website, California gets $0.92 for every dollar it pays in taxes.
If a majority of the voters rather than a majority of the electors were required, we wouldn't have every presidential candidate in favor of retarded policies, and we might actually be able to debate these issues instead of having these policies taken for granted. California, New York and Texas are states with huge numbers of people whose needs have to take a backseat to the wants of the swing states. I'm in favor of abolishing the electoral college in order to have national elections be more about national issues, rather than the parochial concerns of swing state voters.
The current system is worse than mob rule. Why do we have huge subsidies on corn and soy? Iowa is a swing state. Why did we bail out American auto makers in the 70's? Michigan is a swing state. Why do we have steel tariffs? Pennsylvania is a swing state. Why do we have sugar tariffs? Florida is a swing state. Maybe we would have some kind of national urban/metropolitan policy on land use or transportation if anyone cared what people in California or greater New York thought about anything.
The nicest thing about tabbed browsers is that you can click a link and open a new page without giving focus away from what you're currently reading. For example, a blog post or message board thread full of links can be read in full without interrupting your reading, followed by the linked information.
If his refusal to provide the password "goes against him," then the jury has received bad instructions and the case should end in a mistrial. In a murder trial with no witnesses to the act itself and no physical evidence, should they hold it against the defendant that he doesn't admit he did it?
The court is already in possession of the laptop. They have a lawful warrant, they can search the laptop all they want. If they can't prove he committed a crime without his help, then they can't prove he committed a crime. If a criminal proceeding is dependent on the assistance of the accused, and the accused can be penalized for not cooperating, then the fifth amendment is meaningless.
As a non-retard, I can see that the current party alignment of liberals and conservatives is not etched in stone. GP was about liberals and conservatives and their respective intellects, accurate or not. After Johnson, a Democrat, signed the Civil Rights Act, blacks flocked toward and racists away from the Democratic party, and since then, the Republican party has unquestionably been the more conservative of the two.

Uh, if taxes equal spending, then taxes per person equals spending per person. That's not civics, that's math.

In my experience, it's pretty much free to keep applications I'm not using running. If it uses a negligible amount of resources, why not keep it open?

Top Gun is only a good movie if you get a boner from looking at fighter jets.
Can you tell me how to get a huge cube through the air at 80mph and not use a lot of power to do so?
First, I would change it from a cube to a more aerodynamic shape.

Yeah, the insinuation that Via has competent driver developers should have tipped you off that you made a mistake.
Amen. Mod parent up.
Personally, I traded in my indignity for usable drivers on nVidia chips.
You still sound pretty indignant to me.
At least one of the things the Constitution stands for is an income tax.

That's why I called it a straw man. Name one pro-choice liberal who opposes the death penalty because of the "sanctity of life."
