My university uses a custom netreg implementation that checks for patches and antivirus before it lets you on the network. Sounds a lot like this. I love innovation.
In rural Northeast Iowa (where I am from) you can rent a very nice 4 bedroom house for $150 a month. Rent isn't expensive everywhere. Since he only has dial-up and sat availible to him, chances are he is in a similar area.
What money are we supposed to use to pay these people for a license to use their codecs? How is a distro like debian supposed to raise money to buy a license without charging money for the distro? Free as in speech is great but many of us also like the free beer part. If we want to keep linux free in every way it will be very hard to start licensing software for inclusion in distros.

I was told in high school driver education that driving with headphones on was illegal and could get you a ticket. I don't know about deaf people. I imagine it would be harder to notice their impairment because there would be no visible signs, such as the white headphone cables.

I'm pretty sure listening to an iPod or any other device that requires you to stick things in your ears while driving is illegal in most states anyway. If you are driving just use the car radio.
It seems to me that Americans work for the sake of working. We never take any time off to enjoy the fruits of our labors. I think we need to learn to enjoy the things we work for rather than just working for them and moving on to work some more.
I am wondering not if he payed for the phone line, but if he also paid a monthly fee for his dial-up in addition to the minute by minute cost.
In the small rural town where I grew up the first Internet access to come to us hit you really hard with the charges. First you paid $30 for the phone line (which you already had), then you paid $40 for the service, then you paid 10 cents a minute to the ISP, and on top of all that there was no local number so you paid the phone company for the long distance call.
MS was convicted as a monopoly, but it didn't seem to harm them. They had so much money it didn't matter. Nothing matters to them. Apple, however, will actually have to comply with government orders. This could be a very bad thing for people who enjoy Apple's products.
The gluttony implied by complaints of having to wait "four fucking hours" for a video game should make you ashamed. Some people don't have medical care / food / a place to live, and another segment of the population can't wait four hours for a video game. If you happen to be an American, thanks. You've made me ashamed to be an American.
What that hell was that? You are the one who should be modded troll.
ATi radeon 7000 through 9200 have excellent 2D and almost excellent 3D support from the open source DRI drivers. Any of the newer cards from ATi are lacking 3D accelleration under these drivers but have good 2D, although the driver that will enable 3D in these newer cards in under development and making rapid progress.
nVidia cards have excellent 2D support from the opensource nv driver, but are completely lacking 3D support unless nVidia's ( not open source ) drivers are installed. When the nvidia drivers are installed, 3D accelleration will work perfectly.
IMHO, ATi's drivers are not nearly as stable or powerful as nVidia's.
nVidia has definitly got it won if you don't mind using non-free drivers, but if non-free drivers are a problem for you, you should probably go with an older ATi card.
Obviously you have never worked with any type of technology contractor.
You would also think that the contractor we hired to set up our new corporate accounting system would have given us the root passwords before they left....

Porting yellowdog to intel would be a waste. It is already a port of Redhat to ppc.

upgraded?

I suppose Phillips will file a patent infringment suit pretty soon.
if you had to spend 15 minutes downloading and installing drivers you didn't get it to work "out of the box"
Yes! AMD has DDR2, I wonder how long it will take Intel to catch up with them on that one....oh wait, nevermind.
