I was just in there LAST SATURDAY in the PC section and specifically asked if they sell Ubuntu on any of their machines or if they had a copy in the store. They said no.
I asked the HP representative there what I should buy if I don't want Vista, because its a DRM-infested piece of garbage that runs super slow. She said, "Buy a Mac." I kid you not.
Maybe HP needs to tell her that I need to buy one of their PCs and a copy of Ubuntu for $20.
People don't want to change their lifestyle and if somebody comes up with a plan where they don't have to, they'll jump on it.

Since I didn't understand anything you just said, and I'm a C# Programmer who has Ubuntu installed on a few machines, I highly doubt the $10/hour lunk at the airport is going to notice...
My 8-year-old daughter's free* phone on a new phone number came with over 1000 spammy and raunchy text messages. They wanted to charge us over $100 for the messages. I called Sprint the instant I opened the box.
At first, she tried to say that we were on the hook for it but then I explained that we had just received the phone and I had just opened the box (direct from Sprint). I told her that we didn't want text messages (especially if some randomly-dialing computer can cause you to be charged hundreds of dollars before you even notice). Recently after we changed plans, I noticed that I got a text message again. I called them up and told them that text messages were supposed to be off on all our phones. They took it off again and I haven't had one since.
It's really not too much of a problem on Sprint. Just tell them you don't want them and they disable it.
If you have to legislate the use of your language, isn't that just an admission that it ain't that great?
In English, we just take words from anywhere. Nobody makes us speak it. We don't see it as "polluted" by having French, Greek, Latin, Germanic or any other sort of words in it. It makes it "rich" and "interesting".
Are you kidding? The Dell keyboards where the edges of the keyboard follow the contours of the key layout are by far the WORST keyboard I have ever typed on. Everyone at work that uses them makes 3-5 errors per line all the time. The HPs aren't far behind on the unusability scale.
I brought in a reasonably-priced Logitech wireless that feels a lot better.
But Wine and Mono don't require a commercial license and virtualization does. So while it may "seem" the same while running the application, there is a cost difference (unless you are pirating Windows).
Young earth creationists believe in evolution. At least, in the form of microevolution that is present in the experiment. (They don't believe that microbes become jellyfish, chickens become dinosaurs/dragons or apes become human. Heck, we are genetically closer to dogs than apes anyway...)
Creationists believe that there are mutations.
Creationists believe in natural selection (ie, the most genetically matched to the environment will eventually outbreed the others).
Creationists believe that mutations sometimes result in a "net gain" for the organism despite being a "loss" of actual data. That is what most likely happened here. Notice what it says in the article:
a rare chromosome inversion was the most likely cause.
This kind of genetic mistake is well-documented and it's not as if creationists are idiots with their ostrich heads in the sand (despite that constant characterization, which just shows complete ignorance of their position on the part of the speaker). But creationists are still waiting for a single example of a mutation that adds genetic material that was not already there instead of shuffling or removing what they would say God put there to begin with. This could be that kind of example, or, it may end up being a chromosome inversion, which would do nothing to disprove creation science whatsoever.

Then vote with your money. Switch to cable modem and Vonage and never pay SBC another dime.
That's nothing! My car's navigation system runs on Windows Mobile (CE).
Every once in a while my car crashes and then I have to pull over to the side of the road and reboot it.
No joke! I'm 100% serious.
It is a very cool system, though.
Maybe GAIM was a better name because, in a temporary slip up for Linux, the name actually matched what the program does...

Yeah, that sure worked for Stalin and Mao Tse Tung. They never committed any atrocities at all.
The reality is that there are a few nutballs out there in every religion, including atheism.

I thought this was news for nerds.
Hasn't this been true for about 25 years now?

Can you try Vonage or one of the other IP-based phones now that you have a stable internet connection?
I did it years ago here in the US and I will never pay AT&T another cent as long as I live.

For definitions of Evolution that include 10,000 hours of Creation and Design...
Maybe someone needs to write the reverse of NDISWrapper to get Linux drivers working on XP...

I like it.
I was with you right up until you said, Microsoft's customers couldn't care less about closed.
I think Vista sales are proving otherwise. My buddies, who have always used Windows are actually asking about Linux instead of Vista.
Actually, it's far worse than anyone thought. They aren't filtering a few minor websites, they are actually blocking major portions of USENET:
http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-9964895-38.html?part=rss&subj=news&tag=2547-1_3-0-5
Time Warner will now block all of USENET
Sprint will now block all alt.* newsgroups
Verizon will now block large, unnamed sections of USENET.
So, whoever said "USENET will be shut down in the name of 'protect the children'" on the poll last week, you win!

Time will tell.
Shhh. Don't give them any ideas!
