Yep, we used to have them in British Columbia, Canada for a while. When we kicked out the NPD and got the Liberals they decided to can it. Its fucking crazy! It strips you of your rights.. you are automatically guilty until you can prove your innocence. Also, the person that owns the car gets the ticket instead of the person driving the car. If your car was stolen/lent to someone else you could easily get a ticket for speeding! I am glad its gone though. However, it was kinda funny how stupid the cops were here. They would set them up in the worst places. You could see the fucking blue van for miles before they took your picture. The only people who got caught were the stupid ones.
Well, look at the ad on the top of this page. More colours and alpha channel support is useless if the person needs to create an animated gif. People use what works
One of the reason most people dont want Linux is because it has a large learning curve for normal people. Most users dont know how to use Linux because they dont want to spend the time to do so!
other reasons may include:
not agreeing with the GPL ideology
hardware support
lack of games when compared to Windows
lack of real office suites (MS office is still the standard)
I dont see any real computer company actually seriously selling Linux on their user level computers any time soon. This is not a troll, but most users dont want Linux. Also, the people who do probably wont want to run the distro on it. The only thing it really has going for it it because it would be certified to work. Anyways, it would be better just to sell the systems without operating systems or provide Windows refund checks for these desktops and laptops.
I am going into Grade 12 next year, and I took two computer courses last year. One was called "Business Computer Applications", and the other called "Information Technology". Well BCA was a complete waste of time. The teacher had no clue what they hell (she) was doing. I only took it because I needed a fine arts + applied skill credit (this was dual credit). Our marks were based on how many spaces we put before a line and stupid things like that. It was a complete waste of time. Anyways, the other course I took, IT was a little better. The teacher was nice (though a windows guy) and was at least somewhat competent. Anyways, I aced the course. We even watched flash stickman fighting animations, and other really sexual cartoons (like chicks naked and some body parts painted to pretend they had clothes on) on a big projecter. One of our assignments in the class was browsing through a site that happened to contain porn as well. All the teacher said was "ummm... whatever". For the rest of the class everyone was looking at porn (not one girl in the class, 30+ people).
Anyways, getting on to it... my school is really layed back with everything. They are just as ignorant about computer use though as most schools (especially the librarian). The computers are locked down... but there are numerous holes in the system that allow for anyone to get through. Their responsibility policy was like non existant. One person beside me in the class pulled all the CD trays from 5 CD drives on a row of computers and started throwing them around. Nobody was ever punished for anything they did in that class. I chatted on irc, and did tonnes of shit I wasnt supposed to (SSH, apache) and all the guy did was try to understand what the fuck it was. The class wasn't an animal house though (i may have really presented it to be, however).
All schools aren't really anal about it necessarily. However, it is scary how ignorant (in many ways) some of these school administrators and teachers can be.

This is the biggest crock of shit. Adobe knows that their say will not get him free now, and that they are getting a lot of shit from the community. This is just a method for them to pretend like they are the good guys. Nothing has changed: Dymitry is still in jail, and Adobe is the same damn company that it used to be when it called the FBI with a tip. Next time these tips are going to be "anonymous"
Hydrofoils are a funny thing. They still operate on the theories (whatever they are) on hyrdrodynamics, so they are still considered boats and not hover crafts. You can actually get your own personal-type model. Click here for more info.
But there is still the possibility. If you are not complete and consice, something like this may happen. Its not like it takes a lot of effort to do something like this, so its better safe than sorry.
What is important is the part of most license with the disclaimer that releases the author from all responsibility if the software fubars something. You don't need to read the source to run the software, and that means that most people don't even see it. Therefore, it could be said that it doesn't do anything to keep the author out of legal trouble.
legal DVD playback works fine (assuming you have an unencrypted disk). However, what sucks is that there is no UDF support. Xine takes car of this and access the raw device and provides its own UDF support. You just cant mount them:(
Well, the media controls all the mindless people out there. They have them in the palm of their hand, and there is nothing we can do about it. If more uninformed stories about us (geeks, hackers, crackers, etc) get fed out to the general public, they are only going to get worse ideas. Face it, the media can warp anything they get into anything they want. The general public's attitude is based mainly on the information they are fed. What the media thinks is important, because sooner or later it will become what the general public thinks.
Its not that i'm humour impared, its that was a pathetic attempt at a joke. I have a funny bone, but it's more sophisticated than the contents of that post. If you expect me to laugh, please be funny.
Just because something isn't released yet doesn't mean that is automatically vapourware. This is turning into a f@cking witch-hunt. Please keep your accusations to yourself till it's actually true. Things take time to be developed; also, one of the natures of geek-oriented sites is to report upcoming things. Not being able to buy something in stores doesn't mean a thing. Please try to increase your economic attention span a little more.
Its because there is a huge imbalance when it comes to spam. It costs virtually nothing to send out loads of spam in comparison to snail-mail advertisiments. (the only cost is their connection and hardware). When they are mailing you something, it is a tangible peice of paper that costs them money to print and to send. However, if they send spam to you those costs are wiped out. Therefore, they can send more spam to you than mailed advertisments. I think it should be regulated more, they need some constraints to prevent such large amounts from being sent. Actually, what they need more is to be hit in the head with a cluebat. Spammers don't actually understand that nobody actually looks at their crap.

PNG doesnt have animation support does it? So your analysis on its superiority isnt exactly correct is it?

For some reason, i first read that as

I am not sure if you understand what the term seriously means.
