OMG! The competitor's brand does the same things with less training requirements?
You clearly don't know what you're talking about. Although it might be true in very specific cases, this notion is not generally true, and is more the result of Microsoft's marketing efforts (and a historical lack of alternatives to compare against) than a reflection of reality.
Yes. The possibilities. Like the possibility of the complete lack of any downloadable music what so ever...
Right, just like there were no movies and TV shows after VCRs became widespread. News flash: Shareholders won't tolerate a board of directors that insists on missing the Internet boat.
I'd never base my opinions about a distro on how they perform on Toshiba hardware. Toshiba hardware tends to have quirks that need to be handled in a special way. Of course, it would be nice if the hardware was always handled perfectly, and sometimes it is, but it's not surprising to me when it doesn't.
I did a bit of poking around, and it looks like -- in this particular case -- there might happen to be more than 512 bytes available to do error handling. Since LeonGeeste mentions "Error 25" being displayed, I decided to do a search:
It looks as though this error occurs during the second-stage bootloader, so it should be possible to archive the original bootloader and jump to it if there are any problems.
However, I agree that there are certain cases where recovery just isn't possible (and LeonGeeste clearly fails to recognize that) but this doesn't appear to be one of those cases.
... especially when Cassini gets shot down by the Enceladians because it's interfering with their military frequencies and -- more importantly -- their satellite TV transmissions.
We snatched the subject at building 232. Skyjack arrived at the field and extracted subject at 2200 hours, and headed 225 True north along evac corridor. Diverted to SSW 45 seconds later, avoiding....

Don't you think an issue as important as desktop computers, MP3 Players and DVDs requires comparisons to things even more important than salvery and subjugation? Why not compare it to the holocaust as well?
If you believe this is a plausible future, then it's not really that unreasonable of a comparison.
I don't know about software, but Copilot is a service that's designed to simplify the whole process of remote support via VNC.
Although their server-side proxy software isn't available, the source code to their "client" (which is based on the VNC client and server) is available under the terms of the GPL.
Hence why the people suing Google settled. Google might have actually won this lawsuit, but they felt it was in their best interests to settle.
Also, it depends on what Google's contract was. If Google said they'd bill some amount "per click-through", but it can be shown that nobody was actually clicking and Google billed the amount anyway, a court might say that Google owed the plaintiffs some damages. I'd guess that it's not *actually* fraud (in the criminal sense), though, unless Google had knowledge of specific instances and decided to bill the plaintiffs anyway.

We are at peace with the Brits; We have always been at peace with the Brits. =)
Wait, isn't this the generation that was doing drugs in the '60s? That would explain a lot...
Ubuntu is not Debian. It's Debian-based, but I wouldn't go so far as to call it a "flavor of Debian".
Meh, we'll just use the andrea kernel.
(Insert rant about Blizzard and how this relates to bnetd and the DMCA here.)
The 1990s called. They want their arguments back. :)
What happens if the UDP packets get lost?
You've obviously never had a close look at the seams.

What, because the government stops using force to prevent the people from performing certain popular actions in their own homes?
I suspect it's just a product of the French having a functioning National Assembly. You know, one that actually does what the people want. *gasp*

OMG! A system that is vastly more complicated than an automobile needs at least as much training to learn how to service and use efficiently? Horror!
Or, we're just better at hiding them. ;)
That's a nice house!
If you're able, I encourage you to find the bugs and submit fixes for them to the software's maintainers.

So tell them the truth: the technology exists, but U.S. law makes it risky to distribute it.

IANAL, YMMV, GYOLA.
What happens if you have a 70% chance of surviving for another 5 years, and a 40% chance of surviving for another 10 years? And you're a consultant.
