That's a trap. If it only supports PlaysForSure, the fact that it has ogg vorbis support doesn't matter all that much, since it won't connect to any OS and media player other than Windows and WMP 10+. I bought an iRiver T30 with ogg vorbis support, and I have no use for its ogg capabilities since I can only transfer music from WMP.
My thoughts exactly, I have an iRiver T30 that supports PlaysForSure MTP, and now I can't use it with my Linux laptop, and am forced instead to download songs to it using the family Windows computer. Fortunately, most of the music I tranfer is being ripped from CDs anyway, so it's not such a problem. It still sucks though.
Yes, censorship and government control of popular mentality are inherently totalitarian, but I've got a feeling that the condemnation has nothing to do with this, and everything to do with the fact that China is a rising world power. Not to say that I don't want freedom for the Chinese people and conquered states, but I believe that this is not really about Fascism at all.
I do not believe Google should get out of China, since their presence is serving the Chinese people, and that their withdrawal would cause less, not more, information to be availiable to the Chinese people. I am getting the feeling that the US is more commited to it's own dominance to the Chinese people, or they would have understood that Google China is better for the Chinese people.
I'm sorry, but putting LFS in the server room is extremely irresponsible for a multitude of reasons. First of all, it will make upgrades extremely messy, and with no dependancy solving (or solid dependancy system, for that matter), you are going towards breakage hell. Not to mention that you will have to monitor all the security fixes yourself.
Google cube will be running Google Opera alongside the Web 3.0 (AKA the video internet) version of Duke Nukem Forever. All this will be on the sturdy base of Windows Vista Ultimate R0x0rz Edition.
the search you linked to shows that no matter how hard you try, you can't completely filter the net. While there aren't many of them, you can still find pages showing the truth even in the censored version.
1. I really can't remember the last time I heard a republican make a good, intellectual argument. If you could point out one for me, I would be glad.
2. Bush did lie about the purpouse of the war. It is obvious now that there were no WMDs, and there is strong evidence suggesting that Bush knew it. The fact of the matter is, it is more than convenient that the large corperations, which the government has a long history of being in bed with, got all the profit, AND that it drummed up (for a certain amount of time) a conforming-patriotic mood in the country - the best mood for a presidential reelection.
2. A meaningful, intellectual statement doesn't have to be lengthy, or to involve words at all. Case in point: Since a rabbi claimed that having a woman lead a bet knesset is the equivalent of having an orange on the seder plate, many reform-minded Jews have put an orange on the seder plate, to show their support of women.
3. What is the issue? The war in Iraq, in which it is impossible to win? Torture of detainees, which will eventually give more psychological power to terrorist organisations? The education system, in which schools get punished financially for teaching about contraceptives?

That's a completely unfair comparison, since you are comparing binary names on one OS to menu entries on the other. A better comparison is start menu entries vs. GNOME menu entries:
Web Browser Windows: Web (on XP-like menus), Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox (Classical menus) Linux: Opera Web Browser, Mozilla Web Browser, Firefox Web Browser
Movie Playback Windows: Windows Media Player, QuickTime Linux: Totem Movie Player, MPlayer, Xine, VLC Media Player
DVD Playback: Windows: WinDVD, Windows Media Player Linux: Totem Movie Player, Xine, VLC Media Player
Simple Text Editing Windows: Notepad, Wordpad, TextPad Linux: Text Editor
Instant Messaging Windows: MSN Messenger, Google Talk Linux: Gaim Internet Messenger
Music Playback: Windows: Windows Media Player, iTunes Linux: Beep Media Player, Rhythmbox Music Player
CD Ripping: Windows: iTunes, Windows Media Player Linux: Sound Juicer CD Ripper
CD Burning Windows: CDBurnerXP Pro 3 (That's a real name!), Nero Burning Rom Linux: Gnome Toaster, Serpentine Audio CD Creator, Nero
I still like GNOME naming conventions better, but I think that usually the names of most actual Microsoft apps are pretty clear (though a tad too generic). What I really dislike, though, is the menu structure.
That depends, if we are talking about aliens, or some other mortal designer, most chances are they were dead for more than 70 years, and as such their works are now public domain. However, if we are talking about an immortal God, then the answer is yes, we are violating copyright by manipulating DNA.
That's what I said too, until someone explained to me that an hypothesis is an educated guess. As such, ID is now classified as "baseless speculation".
Ruby on Rails is a web application delvelopement framework built with Ruby. It includes a set of tools to direct and interpert URLs in a smart way, a bunch of database libraries making database backed apps really easy to make, and a bunch of misc tools that help web developers around stuff.

Cool! Thanks, I finally got the iRiver to mount under Linux as a normal UMS device. For all those too lazy to google:

Wouldn't that cause it to eventually lose all of the chemical that made it bounce?
Oops, didn't know there was an original :-S.
Uh, i'm 15 and I remember Flubber. Shitty movie, though.

Damage to brain and possible schizophrenia are still pretty frightening, thank you very much.

If you don't buy RIAA CD's, you are obviously a dangerous pirate that steals music and ruins the artists' life!
I think that others have already said that it's a customary ritual to announce that DNF will appear this year.

Actually, it might be a good read, if not only for the laughs.
It certainly isn't the same story, and the chronologically former is famous enough to be alluded to.

That's a good thing, OS9 sucks in every aspect.

Uh, the article is talking about server-side developement. This is not a WYSIWYG vs. Pure HTML argument.
