Yea, enough with the lame Blue Screen Of Death jokes already. Unless you have been hiding under a rock, you should know that Vista is going to change all of that. Now there is the Red Screen of Death as well.
Nah, you could only get to 70 MPH for the first couple weeks. Being a Windows machine, it would start getting slower and slower... and slower over time. Eventually, the NY Times would run a story suggesting that throwing out your year old car and buying a new one (also running Windows, of course) makes good financial sense compared to the constant repair costs.
Well, I don't know that the number of shows is relevant, but unless this mp3 is pointed to by an enclosure tag in an rss file, then I don't see that it is a podcast. Essentially, it is just an audio file since you can't use a podcast aggregator to "subscribe" to it even if said subscription will only ever have one episode.
My SOP for buying a printer is to just go to www.linuxprinting.org and see what is fully supported and then check local stores to see if any of them are carried.
[Yes, I know.. don't feed trolls and all that, but..] Let me get this straight. You are reading through a thread thats subject you claim is only of concearn to "dumbass dorks", just so that you can post troll messages? Amazing! Do you have any life at all?
So hundreds of thousdands of students will have Lindow^h^h^hspire as their first experience with Linux? Who the hell's idea was that?! Why not a real Linux distro? One that doesn't require a subscription fee to access the package collection for starters. Oh well, at least it might inspire (Without the 'L', thankyou very much) them to investigate alternatives at home and set up an actual Linux box.
That will be the default as it ships. They can't enforce the idea of limited accounts for regular use because too much legacy software would break. If they were to create a secure operating system, it would break compatibility with legacy apps.
Good plan. Make sure that those less capapable of being responsible and thinking have more offspring than everyone else. Bring up those offspring in a society where no predators are around to eat them and they will get tickets for not wearing safety belts. Repeat for each generation:
1 Breed Morons
2 Devolve the species
3 ???
4 Profit
Sure, outlaw abortion. Fine, so long as you also make birth control implants mandatory and only allow them to be removed after passing a competency test.
One of Cisco's arguments, or at least so I heard on a CBC radio program that's name escapes me, is that he discovered this flaw through reverse engineering which is specifically banned in the license agreement. They seem to be implying that the flaw would be no danger since it is a closed source product, had he not 'illegally' reverse engineered their code and that the threat therefore only exists because of him. Security through obscurity, and a good example of why closed source solutions should not be used in situations where security and accountability are important [voting machines anyone?]

Disgruntled does not mean un-gruntled, it actually means completely gruntled. Gruntled means, or meant, grumbling.

As terrifying as that prospect is, It is a rather funny twist on MS's now retired "Where do you want to go today?" campaign.

Not you, apparently. Now go watch Fox News and leave the rest of us with attention spans longer that fruit flies to worry about the boring stuff.
It isn't. Imap is a great protocol, and an example of a better standard competing with an existing standard. That was what I meant.
With a better open standard. Imap versus Pop3, for instance.
With enough signals bouncing around we won't have to buy microwaves anymore.

What does this have to do with Apple?
"buy giving"?
Not quite. I know quite a few Linux users who don't know a single programming language.

Also, this is a Debian based distro, which is great, but accessing the package collection requires a monthly subscription fee... that's just sick.

Yes, teen speak is annoying, but I'll take it any day over the 'leet' speak which abounds on Slashdot.
debil?
You had to give them the idea, didn't you?
No. Linspire and Microsoft Linux, on the other hand, sound about right in the same sentence.
Afr^H^H^H American or European hardware?
