"Warez" content is legally redistributable at least in regions of the world which don't recognize software copyrights. You can't just pick and choose laws my friend.
And the fact that they don't block American IP addresses means that they are aiding in patent infringement. These people are international criminals, and we expect them not to engage in other criminal activities? We know from the drug economy that those involved in "light" crimes are, almost always, also involved with higher crimes, including fraud, robbery, and sometimes murder.
If it's not signed with Fedora's official keys, it may as well be unsigned. Anyone can self-sign a package filled with spyware, rootkits, and keyloggers.
One very nice thing about Ubuntu is that they do host these decoders in their Multiverse repository. You have to edit your sources.lst to add a Canonical run repository (packages are signed), apt-get install the codecs, and you're done.
On distributions like Fedora Core, you have to add a Russian warez site ("livna") to your yum configuration to be able to get MP3 support. These packages may be unsigned and full of root kits. It's a risky proposition.
Ubuntu's release philosophy is to take a snapshot of Debian every 6 months, and then stabilize it for two months. During this stabilization period, they import only minor fixes, leaving major ones behind. Often they will backport smaller fixes into their packages - but with limited resources they can't do this for everything.
The fatal flaw with this is that a lot of buggy software still gets in, with new releases with bugfixes coming out after the "Upstream Version Freeze" -- rejected because they have new "features" in addition to the bugfixes. And with a lot of important open source software being still immature, with versions less than 1.0, these few weeks of "stability" are a very long time.
Other major distributions, SuSE and Fedora, constantly release updated software, with new bugfixes and features. They don't just do constant snapshopts, and in my opinion this creates a better system. Ubuntu is even more conservative in their releases than Microsoft or Apple.
After it became dangerous to test on animals, testing on poor people is the only ethical way to proceed (or perhaps just scrap testing, it worked for Micro$oft). Thanks SHAC!
This matters? Talking about religion is like talking about Star Wars vs. Star Trek - it's completely detached from reality, and only done by pedantic nerds.
If they block Bush staffers from making changes because they have vested interests, they better also block pedophiles from editing the wikipedia pedophilia article, and block mormons from editing (or reverting truthful edits) the mormonism pages.
While planning my house, I was inspired by seeing a truck stop employee using a hose to clean the shop's bathroom. When I designed the house, I allowed the bathroom to be almost completely sealed, and had the walls poured in with concrete. The floor had a drain, and the roof had a high pressure rotating soap/water cycle sprinkler system. I'll follow up with some pictures in a minute.
I kind of wish they would delist the whole 'blogosphere too, or at least allow us to set an option to not show 'blogs in our searches. I mean, pagerank abuse is rampant on 'blogs (example)(.
The "If you're doing nothing wrong, then you have nothing to worry about" position is completely correct, but you would be foolish to apply this maxim to any living person. Everyone does things wrong, everyone has something to hide, and everyone is a criminal. It's time that we recognized this in our public discourse instead of pretending.
These ovens don't seem very smart, just accessible. I would call them smart if they were able to cook food -- detecting when it's ready -- without any human intervention.

They have to use a crappy Qt theme, getting rid of its looks and its speed, so that it will fit in with GNOME programs.
Why would someone work in only black and white? Is this the 20th century equivalent of shitty Photoshop filters?

Inability to read your own handwriting is a classic excuse for not being prepared / being embarassed.
Not even close - the worst that could happen to H1Bs is that they get deported back to their shithole countries - the US wouldn't deny them exit.
I would have considered that a better option in the early 1990s, but Linux has had a lot of work put into it and has become a very mature system.
I'm definitely going to get the console and then not buy any games (new Linux box!). What better way to fuck Sony and their DRM?
It happened with AIDS drugs, it may very well happen with EBOLA drugs

Is that Newegg actually makes boxes to fit in-house.

To fund the BBC, just raise everyones taxes a bit and get rid of this bureaucratic mess.

but then we weren't allowed to use SQL or XML anymore!!

It's not there yet, but look out for Krita. It has great ICCM colour support, but it's kind of slow.

Why consider the prefix to be an annoyance? Moz/FF was built on the shoulders of giants (Netscape), and we should not actively work to deny this.
