They do, actually. Their MP3 store launched a year and a half ago and sell about 10% of what iTunes does. Some estimates place them as the #2 digital retailer:
Furthermore, that figure almost certainly represents sales mostly taken from iTunes. Almost every iPod/iTunes user I know has switched.
It's worth noting that Amazon also refuses to sell me music simply because I do not live in the US. I fail to see how this is any better than iTunes Music Store. At least with iTunes I have the option of using gift codes to pretend I live in the US and get my music that way. With Amazon I have no such recourse, as far as I have been able to find out. It's credit card or nothing. (Paypal knows where you live too so that doesn't work either.)
It's not just Taiwan. Most of us in the Asia-Pacific region have experienced network outages today. I'm speaking from Singapore, which is almost as far as you can get from Taiwan and still be in the APAC region (except for our Southern neighbour Indonesia, of course).
Aren't all those guides available in any Ubuntu install anyway? Apart from the server guide, anyhow, I don't really see the need for a printed copy of these docs.
No mention of Brad Pitt? Has he fallen so far that Jolie is an "American film star" and he isn't?
(Not that this has anything to do with the meat of the article, but I thought it a little odd.)
/. seems to be an odd place to be having a religious discussion, but what do you think of Paul's words in Phillipians 1:18 in the context of these "fake" Christian bands?
"But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice."
The assumption is, of course, that The Word is being preached properly, even if for the wrong reasons.

Your English friend might call your bluff instead, since tea doesn't grow on trees.
Disturbing, perhaps, but completely justified.

Does this necessarily mean that software design and product design, like intelligent design, are in no way "science"?

Wasn't this on front-page some time ago? I specifically remember the "naval-gazing" typo.
And all this time I thought HAARP was a piece of fiction created for the X-Men Legends video games...
I'm not sure, but we must be cautious.
Ah... I guess I got misled by the title of the article.
I just received my Breezy Badger CDs via snailmail today, and Dapper Drake's already available? Great, just great.
