I'm not big on disney movies either, and the naming might bug me too. But heres a trick:
Don't watch them.
I have not seen any substantial parts of those movies, people have to explain to me who "Sid" referrs to, I don't care when I hear it, and my underpants don't bunch up every time I see "Sid" after that. (I actually see "unstable" most of the time in package managers anyway)
Frankly its a name, lots of names out there, don't know what they all mean, some guy named Sid might cure cancer someday, they can informally call it whatever they want and I'm barely aware of it.
I'm frankly more likely to be turned off of round plates because they're less space efficient than square ones. Heck, maybe I'll buy some square plates tomorrrow!
That movies aren't up to my standards justifies me NOT downloading them. If I don't want to waste money in the theaters why do I want to waste my time at home?
I saw ROTK to be social, and that was the movie that pushed me off the edge of being interested in movies. What a horrid waste that was. I kept hoping those stupid munchkins would buy the farm (though I was sure it'd follow a happy ending formula, another part that got overdone by the way).
I'd appreciate the screens not having crap shining out from behind them, loud flashy "previews", annoying anti cellphone messages where they play cellphone rings (am I supposed to beat up the projectionist there or something?), the bit from the RIAA about how a few clicks can download movies about buildings with many small explosives going off sequentially and cars flipping over and not killing annoying overexposed actors (but we really don't want you to get movies that way because of all the effort that they put into not killing those overexposed actors).
Going to be a while before I go to a theater again. I'm uninclined to buy any movies nowadays, not because I'm stealing all that hard work, but because I think the results of all that not-life-threatening-enough toil isn't enjoyable.
I've had both Replay TV's and Tivo's. Having used both, I sold my Tivo and have only Replay TV's.
I've recommended Replay to my friends, most of whom now have one, I've bought them for family members. None of us have ever had any technical issues with any of them.
The boxes work wonderfully and do amazing things, I'd take one over a Tivo any day of the week. I'd also take a Replay over those clunky, expensive roll-your-own PVR's. Replay TV's are just good, solid devices that work out of the box.
My oldest Replay has been running 24/7 for over 4 years without a single problem, ever.
I have a sudden urge to buy my extended family Replays and burn every Tivo in sight. Alas I have a tummy ache from all the astroturf I've eaten, another day perhaps.
I don't have alot of Linux zeal due to my rocky road towards it, I'm hoping my not compilitg some iptable bad packet detection with my kernel fixes a HORRIBLE degenerative network slowdown (which had the kernel liberally munching on the CPU, no way to renice).
I don't worry about GUI consistency, once fuctionality is there we can talk about that. (and I actually like my programs looking different)
To me Linux is about proving Windows in crap and hopefully arsing them into fixing their problems. At this rate I'd worry Microsoft will get steamrollered because of their inertia. I do hold Ill will towards them for selling me the OS and not fixing even really basic bugs (32 bit overflow in file copy progress indicator for example). It always scared the crap out of me when I (or anything else) pointed IE to the internet too.
Using your analogy though, in this case we're feeding a huge business that doesn't like sodomy. They invest millions and millions to make people think sodomy is bad, make newer overly broad antisodomy laws that keep us from legally using q-tips, etc.
How are we going legalize the new sodomy with homophobes actively campaigining with money given to them by the sodomists themselves? Even dragging economists into the anti-sodomy fight this time.

By design, just invert nofly areas.
The plane homes in on the nearest place they don't want it to go. And of course, no override (its a feature that swings both ways).
Add in a timer to kick in tha evil bit flip of doom and you have a much worse situation than 9/11 offered.
No box-cutters required. Just a 1K software update from over the internet. (and they're still busily freaking out over shoes and pet fish right now)
Have I mentioned that I think putting all that crap in to override the pilot is stupid?
I think flying is stupid though too. Take a train if you're not going to die tomorrow.
Yeah, I'm just waiting for someone to pop o DVD in there and either get hit by unskippable intros, or not be able to play due to region issues. :-)
Then not be able to fix it, THEN realize they paid $15000 for that.
"The intruder has moved. Windows must reboot for changes to take effect."
And Microsoft would be able to declare Linux a virus.
Linux removal programs would sprout up everywhere, and Linux users become terrorists in the view of millions of people.
Not the best way to sell OSS.
Free as in "you clicked the link, so eat it!"?
You don't have to spin full tilt to read compressed audio in a timely manner.

Commercial success isn't tightly linked with having a good product, and deification often leads to disillusionment.
My song to gigabyte conversion tactics say 3.2 gigs for the rumored device.
Bah, just use DVDs instead.

Why should I care enough to spend time RTFAing when I have no clue what it is. It might be a pet toy store or something of vague point like that.
Point is TFA should be properly introduced unless it has already been covered to the point where knowledge of it is expected.
I'm not sure why really not trusting Microsoft makes me a zealot.
Why is anyone supposed to trust them? How many times have Microsoft acted in a trustworthy fashion?
I suppose all the WinViruses banging away at my box makes me want to trust them?
You knew they were alive when they clicked.
If you didn't want to run an anti-click program, your choice.
Most noteworthy Amigas had a battery-backed clock on them.
The batteries of which apparently worked fine until they've spent some amount of time discharging.
How much texture space do you need to render to monochrome 80x24 ASCII?
I bet it even animates realtime. :-)

I haven't run Windows for over a year, and I never used it for games (except the reinstalling game).
I have a Linux box with a four month uptime, that gets used a good bit.
I'm referring to a pair of friends with 3.5 computers between them, one of them is big on XP and the winblows media player. Its disturbing to me.
I hear MEPIS is a Debian install done friendly and well.
I wanna be insightful too!
Tell that to my MMORPG-freak friends who would die without Everquest or that starwars stuff.

nmap will find the ip addy for you, assuming your router doesn't serve a page that actually says where DHCP leases were taken out.
