Unless, of course, he's stealing from your share. Do you see any of those lamps running from an extension cord hanging out one of your windows or something?:-p
There is a question which should be presented before jumping on the "NYT is evil!" bandwagon:
Are they sniffing the agent and explicitly "blocking" Linux users, or are they merely relying on sniffing to "ensure" compatibility based on archaic knowledge, and simply not "validating" Linux compatibility?
Yeah, and it'll be ready by the time Flash 10 ships for every other platform. Doesn't Adobe have just one engineer assigned to Flash for Linux?:(
If you run Linux, email Adobe several times weekly asking about Flash 9 availability. The more complaints and requests they get, the more resources (time, manpower, funding) they will put into it.
Except, you're supposed to actually be able to read the signs. Not fun when they're so dazzling that they induce night blindness even for folks with normal vision.
That's a problem with newer emergency vehicles - ultra-bright LEDs are now SO bright that the LED-based strobes are actually more dazzling than the xenon-based strobes. Part of it is because the LEDs are so directional, but part of it is just that they're just so bright and those strobes include a whole array of them pointed in the the same direction.

The tendency to make biased documentaries is pretty old (relatively). See "Moore, Michael" or "Fox News", or anything like that.
You forgot CNN. CNN is every bit as biased as Fox News. If you want unbiased reporting, you know, actual journalism, you'll need to start your own network. it seems every network out there selectively presents the "news" to proselytize their own philosophies. The best you can do as a viewer is to watch multiple sources and come to your own conclusions.:( Gone are the days of an objective press.

FWIW, I'm not Canadian, just pointing this out so Canadians here know to contact their reps:
OK, if DRM and the equivalent of the DMCA is introduced in Canada, effectively eliminating their equivalent of Fair Use, will the levies on blank media be repealed?
These effects - identified as early as 1990 by researcher Andrew Bakun, then with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's fisheries lab in Monterey, Calif. - turbocharge the upwelling. This overloads the waters with nutrients and spawns large algae blooms.
Question: where did they install the turbochargers? If the problem is warming, may I suggest installing some intercoolers? just a thought.;)
By your argument, Firefox should be plagued by spyware/scumware due to its totally open nature and vast library of extensions.
Just FYI, konqueror is all open source, and does provide facilities for installing extensions and plugins and is totally scriptable - MORE so than MSIE. The difference is twofold: 1. that if privilege escalation is required, it handles the situation more intelligently and 2. Most *nix users do NOT run as root for anything other than administrative tasks.
. . . and no, you did not come across as a troll, FWIW, just as someone who isn't familiar with each browser.
Actually, if windows using a mesh like microwave ovens do, the mesh can be powder coated and resemble tint from a distance, and would appear to be a screen only upon close inspection. You've seen opaque decals on automotive windows, right? There are small circular holes to allow for visibility, but a good amount of glare and IR are blocked from entering the interior, and yet those decal films conform with many strict local laws regarding tint.
If, for example, a perforated aluminum film is applied, it can be matched to the building, or could be simply a black or charcoal color. Either paints or powder coating could be used (or exotic oxides for longer-lasting protection against corrosion) for a durable and attractive finish.
It's not a complicated issue to solve, and it doesn't even have to be expensive. Heck, it doesn't even have to be aluminum; it simply has to be conductive.
Can you point out the built-in to the OS equivalent of IE in Linux? You can't, because it doesn't exist.
Sure can. Check out KDE's konqueror and KHTML. It integrates very nicely into kwin (the window manager), is embeddable, providing the help engine, integrates with various services/daemons via plugins and extensions, provides integrated and seamless web, help, and file browsing, can also act as a media player (through plugins and extensions), a smarter "search/find" feature than Microsoft will ever deliver in Windows, and if elevated permissions are required for a task, you will either be prompted for the password or the action is simply disallowed (depending on the plugin or extension) unless you specifically start konqueror with su/kdesu. Also, an integrated terminal window is provided so you can run tasks on files in a directory without having to clutter your desktop with separate Xterm windows.
In summary: konqueror in KDE is what MSIE/Explorer tried to be in Windows, and more.
Linux has no concept of drivers or kernel modules. It's all slapped inside one monolithin kernel, so if you need it to support something else you need to put it in the kernel and recompile it.
That has not been the case for over ten years. Yes, you can compile and run a monolithic kernel if you wish, but it's rare that you'd have to or want to in a typical PC. Have you even bothered to try running or at least read about Linux since early 1992, which is when what you said was true?
Or, were you just trolling? (rhetorical question there).
$199, I'd believe, if Photoshop were available as an OEM edition - it's reasonable given that OEM software is usually without the "OMG SHINY" box and the decent-sized manual Adobe still ships with their products. at $499, it's obviously too good to be true.
And the money is in the hands of those who benefit from misinterpreting the law.
You forgot to complete the sentence, but it's understandable that you did because not everyone sees the full scope. I will correct it for you:

I just downloaded and installed it (Gotta love Autopackage, Linux is becoming downright easy to the point where many things are easier than Windows!) and I have to say after playing with it for two minutes: this program is incredible. Who needs Inkscape? In dealing with layers, Inkscape is an exercise in futility, and there is far less control in exporting to specific bitmap sizes than I am used to in Adobe apps.
Like Inkscape, Gimp, Krita, and other OSS programs, it is missing layer effects (a huge benefit to Adobe apps) but at first glance this appears to be a huge step forward for Linux users who actually want to spend time working and less time fussing and tweaking. I can't wait to dig into this program and see if my experience with it lives up to my initial impression of the program. Just having a usable layer palette alone can provide a productivity boost over Inkscape. Don't get me wrong: I like inkscape, but there are a lot of things from Illustrator that I really, really miss.:( This program appears to be much closer to being a potential Illustrator replacement.

Try setting up, say, an ATI All in Wonder card in ReactOS sometime. It's not just like Windows, it's certainly not as good as Windows. Installing device drivers in ReactOS is NOT fun. The last time I worked with it (over a year ago) the procedure was:
- install Windows on another box
- dump registry
- install driver suite
- dump registry, diff with previous export
- put diff in.reg file, import in ReactOS
- copy files over manually - oh, and potentially violate the Windows license by copying over DLLs
Now, if it has improved since then, and one can just install drivers as one would on Windows, I'd be extremely impressed and I'll dump Windows 98 on one of my home machines (I >>>HAVE to run Windows 9x for support for the tuner card which will never, ever be supported by Linux, and no, I'm not going to throw away perfectly good hardware; that PC exists only to serve as a second television and a very low-end PVR).
As far as _application_ compatibility on ReactOS is concerned, I'm very impressed at how it matured so quickly, but the driver installation procedure is FAR too time consuming to be worth the effort, unless one is building a disk image to deploy to multiple computers.
