There are a lot of very good games available at www.ifarchive.org Many of them will take weeks to solve, have great story lines, and well designed puzzles/problems. Some of my favorates: "Cristminster", "Curses", "Jigsaw", "Anchorhead". For new players, "Theatre" is a good first game.
It sounds like a neat gadget, its a shame that most people will never realize that it is a Linux device based on the information that Nokia puts online:

Huh? Bittorrent is trackable - the person seeding/hosting the.torrent is not anonymous. It is also probably the most popular method for downloading Linux ISO images. The Gnutella network is used for piracy and little else, but Bittorrent is a pretty poor choice for such use.
Wow, I have always thought of bittorrent as just a protocol - I didn't know there was an official client program - If the client has ads, why use it? ctorrent http://ctorrent.sourceforge.net/ work just fine for me. A quick check of ubuntu packages shows a gnome client and two QT based clients as well.

Or the most damn obvious one: On the roofs of hybrid cars - With all of the technology they use to (re)capture any energy and store it in the batteries (like regenerative breaking) to eek out better mileage, isn't putting a light weight solar panel on the roof just plain obvious?!
Dear Moderator: If you wish to assign inexplicable tags like "redundant" to posts like this, perhaps you would care to post a reply explaining your logic. I'm sure we would all find it fascinating. Since you clearly have no idea what the word "redundant" means, I'll help you out:
1. Exceeding what is necessary or natural; superfluous.
2. Needlessly wordy or repetitive in expression: a student paper filled with redundant phrases.
3. Of or relating to linguistic redundancy.
4. Chiefly British. Dismissed or laid off from work, as for being no longer needed.
5. Electronics. Of or involving redundancy in electronic equipment.
6. Of or involving redundancy in the transmission of messages.
I wonder if, perhaps, the "Linux is not user friendly" troll just got mod points?
Who the hell is this jerk? Why can't he come up with something new or at least factually correct? I mean come the hell on, I don't understand the whole troll mentality to begin with, but surely it would be more fun to come up with something creative and new to piss people off with, wouldn't it? At least some of the GNAA posts have been kindof funny.
I saw this article yesterday and thought it was rather silly. There really isn't much resemblance. They are both rectangular - as are most electronic devices. They both come in multiple colors, but the tr-1 came in many many more colors than the ipod and only the silver really looks similar. That is pretty much where the similarity ends. Nothing on the face of either looks similar at all - The speaker grill on the radio, for instance, the shiny metal dial which looks nothing like the ipod control thingy other than being round.
what does this really mean? Limewire is just a gnutella client. If it suddenly refuses to work, users will just grab another client and use that instead. "apt-get install gtk-gnutella" Wow, that was really hard.
I wonder how accurate this article really is. It sounds like a very well designed FUD campaign: Everyone knows how bad Windows is, and the majority of people know nothing about Linux other than it is open source and developed by a decentralized group of volunteers around the world - each working on their own little part. Microsoft is getting ready to release a new version of Windows and needs a way to sell it. So what do they do? They blame all of the problems in Windows on a development model that sounds very much like Linux (at least the way the describe it), thus implying that a) Longhorn will be much better, and b) Linux must be just as bad as Windows and is going to collapse under the weight of disorganization - all that without even having to mention Linux specifically.
Yup, far far more than 1%. You are correct. In fact, Linux has had a higher percentage than Mac users for as long as the statistics have been tracked by w3schools: http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.a sp I don't quite understand how being more user friendly would cause Linux numbers to drop, however, which is what you seem to be suggesting. One would think that if you are going to continue to paste this every time there is an article remotely related to any operating system that you would fact check and edit.
The format is probably not relevant

as the CD probably couldn't be read regardless. CDs do not last forever. http://www.warehousephoto.com/How_Permanent_is_you r_CD-R.htm In fact many will be unreadable in as little as 2 years. If you want to archive, print it with good ink on acid free archival paper.
Easy, as far as the RIAA is concearned, the music that you have purchased is perfectly safe because it is on the CD where it belongs. I think their filter looks something like this: "rm -rf *.mp3"
1) Stop voting for people who have been in office longer than 10 years.
Term limits are counter productive. What you wind up with is representatives who are more concearned with landing a high paying job after they are out of office than representing the best interests of the people while they are in. Personally I see no problem with someone who wishes to remain in public service for life, in fact I would suggest a lifetime pension for members of congress with the stipulation that they are not allowed to receive any other income once they are out of office - that way there is no conflict of interest.
4) Stop voting for anyone with a law background.
I don't think that makes sense as a general rule either - many people go into law for very good reasons - there is a big difference between someone with a career as a public defender and a corporate lawyer.
Paragraph (22) of section 301 of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 (2 U.S.C. 431(22)) is amended by adding at the end of the following new sentence: "Such term shall not include communications over the Internet."
Hmm... Let's keep the big bad government from providing internet access, see they're evil - they're trying to protect free speech on the internet. How dare they!
I'd rather have the government (aka us) which is accountable to the people providing the public service than a company that is accountable to no one but its shareholders.
Apple is currently the most innovative computer company around, with an operating system that makes the current market leader look like a dinosaur. The fact that a quarter of their profit comes from a damn mp3 player is just sad.
And don't forget that Microsoft will build in DRM restrictions and make arbitrary design decisions that make sense for their business model and not for the customer. That can't happen with an active open source project - restrictions and limitations that people don't like are bugs and will be fixed. Features and bad designs that people don't like will be replaced. Windows is not evolving, Linux is.

but where are the Linux drivers? Doesn't matter how awesome the card is if we have to wait two years for drivers.

I don't believe it will stop the user from downloading anything, it will just limit what it will share.

Dr Who was relegated to number 8 while Stargate got number 6?! Something is very wrong with this list.
