If your phone systems can send calls to an outside number, it'd be about perfect for a college job. Can work from home while sitting around playing WoW or EVE, etc.
Of course, within a couple miles of me there's one Walmart. The closest Target is 100 miles away, as is the closest Best Buy, Circuit City, and EBGames/Gamestop.
But, I'm not whining about it -- I'll pick up a Wii and PS3 eventually, but I'm in no hurry to. I don't even have a 360 yet since the only place nearby (the Walmart) can only keep the "core" version on the shelves. None of the consoles are worth driving around trying to find one.
You can get all your questions answered by reading the forums. Don't dare ask any questions, just read. If you can't figure out what you're looking for then you have no business using linux, since they can't be bothered to help those they deem unworthy.
OK, done ranting. Just tired of the "use a forum or wiki for all your support needs" crowd.
Its still crappy racing, but for filling time between F1 races its better racing than NASCAR.
Now, NASCAR's audience is pretty much running on alcohol, as being completely plastered is the only way I can imagine finding NASCAR to be entertaining.
Funny, I'm in the US and I get BBC news and CNN International. HDNet's "Dan Rather Reports" is a hackjob, like most of HDNet's other attempts at reporting.
They also sponsor Indycar, Champ, and NASCAR. All of which have a bigger US following than F1, but none of which can hold a candle to GP2 racing, and can't even begin to compare to F1.
That'd work real well. You'd have a bunch of lvl 70 13 year olds ganking because they can, and no one can decline to duel them. And probably swearing up a storm doing it.
It makes it worth $5 to you. Not to most other people.
Compare that to a movie that isn't worth even $5 to most people (really bad 80s sci-fi comes to mind) but the studio says is still worth $19.99 for the super-special-limited-collectors-edition-with-bonu s-dvd-only-director's-cut. That they then want to claim $250,000 in "damages" on. What's its real value?
The question, then is who defines "value" in a court case. The infrenger? No, and for good reason ("Your honor, this movie was so bad it wasn't worth the time it took to download it Therefore I shouldn't be punsihed since the item had no value.") The studio? I'd say not, because of another conflict of interest. The courts, who seem to have no clue about anything these days? The government, with an interest in making examples of those flouting its laws?
Just to play devils advocate -- What if its a really crappy movie? One that you, say, value at $5, not the $29.99 the MPAA wants for a new release? For that matter, is the value of a movie higher if its not out on DVD yet? Whats its value if the movie isn't even in the theaters yet? Do they get to bill you for the entire production cost?
I don't watch many movies, and the ones I do watch, I already own, or I happen to catch them on TV. I'm sure the MPAA will blame it on piracy, but I simply don't buy movies anymore because they're not worth it. Someone starts talking about $CelebrityOfTheWeek I'd have to go google them to figure out who the hell it is, but I don't care enough to.
Oh, and get off my lawn. Young whippersnappers, always causing problems. Uphill, snow, both ways...
I use linux for several things at work and at home. BSD for most others. Windows when I have to.
I'm the last linux user that will ever recommend any free software to anyone else. Quite frankly, the support situation sucks if you're not a company or a nerd willing to spend hours troubleshooting and setting things up. Since I don't want to fix everyone else's computers, I'll tell them to use Windows or OSX and call tech support if they have problems. When Linux and BSD can offer the level of support for home users that Apple and MS can, then and only then will I start recommending them.
I also disagree with Stallman on most things, and I sure as hell do not worship the ground he walks on.
The top-end racing cars use pneumatic valves. There's no float, because all the movement is positive, i.e. no "let the spring push it back to rest", but rather "push in the air to open, suck out the air to close".
Interesting. Now I can justify reading/. at work -- it filled the boss's requirement of "learn something every day":)
I don't happen to agree with your interpretation -- one of the common definitions has always been to attempt to obtain, and that definition applies in this context as well.
But I'll agree to disagree since the rest of the points were pretty valid.
Minor nitpick -- You said "right to the pursuit of happiness" not "right to happiness" -- even the chemically unbalanced can pursue happiness, though it may be a Don Quixote or Capt. Ahab type of pursuit.
I'd love to have politicans who realized their mistake and tried to correct it. The problem is no one will ADMIT that they were wrong, and instead just change their position with no explanation.

Yep, you can. That wasn't the point though. The point was there are no stores nearby that have them in stock.
You'd lose that bet.

So many jokes.....
ATI drivers, binary blobs vs open source, etc.
Shamelessly stolen from Digg
I think he was using "positive" to mean something was added, and "negative" to mean something was removed.
Not "positive = good" and "negative = bad"

That would be Ferrari, not Fiat.
Your argument might carry a little more weight if you'd get major details right.

Indycar is running entirely ethanol this year.

Leave both, sell things in the AH, and leave the 13 year olds to themselves.
Great. Punch the Monkey, coming soon to a paper near you!

Not sure what type of valves F1 uses, but they're up around 18-20 thousand RPM. In a three point something liter engine.
That particular song, yes, it sucks. The band as a whole, meh.
And I'm actually arguing that the list isn't US-centric, it just flat out sucks.
I don't happen to agree with your interpretation -- one of the common definitions has always been to attempt to obtain, and that definition applies in this context as well.
But I'll agree to disagree since the rest of the points were pretty valid.
I grew up with 'em and they still sucked.
I think "Crappy choice of music" would be a better description, rather than it being a US-centric thing.
Most of the songs listed sucked here in the States as well.
