BadAnalogyGuy, I'm disappointed with your recent posts. You seem to comment on every article with a bombastic and alarmist opinion, often without fully reading the article first. If you had looked into this thing at all, you wouldn't have needed to post this comment at all. It looks to me like you only care about getting as many "insightful" ratings as you can.
Hey, that's fine. They can set as many limits as they want, I'll be smiling as I run Debian Linux and use my computer without ridiculous restrictions such as these.
You're forgetting about specialist applications like audio/music editing and production, video editing, and advanced image editing. Doing this stuff with web-based software isn't feasible, so as long as people do stuff like that, there will be some form of desktop.
If there would be some special channels, such as a channel containing ITV/Channel4/etc or movies, then if I was interested I wouldn't mind paying for it so long as the price was right. The quality would need to be fairly good, though.
However, if they mean paying just to use youtube at all, or paying for each and every video I watch, and paying to upload videos, no way.
Wine is very easy, in my experience. Most problems are quickly solved with good help from google, and that's if there is a problem. Usually I just double click an exe file and it runs.
Yes. If you're looking for small or independent bands, dmusic.com is very good. They provide free hosting for artists, and most songs are free to download in mp3 form.
I've been using dmusic.com since October 2005.
The ipod is not an original invention. It's a fashionable implementation of an appliance which has been common since at least the 1970s - the personal stereo.
Ah! Oh, boy! The modern miracle of medical science.
They should examine the DNA sequence of the very first generation of the bacteria, and compare it with the one which 'evolved' and see what the differences are. That might show some interesting results.
You're right. I recently got an mp3 player. The buttons are very smooth and level with the surface of the plastic, so you cannot feel which button your finger is on without looking. It bothered me so much that I stuck blu-tack to the surface of each button, so I could use the thing in bed at night without looking at the blindingly bright screen.
Ah! Oh, boy! MAN DENIS! BIG DENNACE. Now, listen here. One time I was cockin' maximum on gnutella, and suddenly a Japanese user downloaded some file from me. I think it was an IOSYS mp3.
I live in the UK.
My point is, Japanese people can and do use the same filesharing networks as the rest of the world. MENIS FENIS BENIS GENIS DENNACE.
I don't mean to offend your daughter, but maybe it's time to get serious with helping her learn. Children are supposed to be able to read and write well enough by age 5.

Why not?
Have you tried Debian?

How come I have it here in XP?
Windows can be, and often is, just as bad and sometimes worse. I don't think your GF would be able to burn a CD with a fresh install of XP, either.
If I had points, I'd give you an "insightful" rating.
Your attitude is everything that's wrong with modern software.

You may also want to try running Finale in wine. Wine is improving a lot these days.
The answer is: GNU/Linux! 2008 was the year of the Linux desktop!

I agree. I come to read about TECHNOLOGY... not someone's 'blog'.

Heh heh! DENIS! Don't worry, Hasslehoff will show up in his talking car and solve the problem of the Robots. DENNIS! MAN DENIS!
Indeed. It would be nice to actually have some helpful error messages so users can work out what on earth has gone wrong.
That could be done with PHP.
Hopefully they had a lot of reusable concepts and code that they can leverage. Otherwise, that's an awful waste of code and effort.
That's not looking so likely either. Do you see many new concepts in Vista (apart from the user harassment system and the shiny UI effects)?

In that case, we must build a shaft of wood! SHAFT! He's the man, like no other man.
