Yeah fine, YOU wouldn't mind giving away your money. I get that. Why the fuck do you think it's alright to mandate that everyone else do the same though? If your feeling generous, donate to charity, don't tax the rest of us.
Honestly, I don't see anything new here. This is just yet another example of Microsoft attempting to muddy the waters. It's classical embrace and extend.
Having personally gotten my 30 GB 5th gen ipod working in gentoo, I can assure you I did nothing more than compile in support for USB Mass Storage devices in my kernel. If I really want to use it as an 'ipod' I can load my stuff on just fine with amarok, otherwise I just use any other method to load my ogg-vorbis files onto it and play them with Rockbox.
If your suggesting it's only a pain for whoever wrote that driver then I call FUD, no end user should *ever* have any trouble with it.
I work for a smaller OEM that mainly provides computers to school districts around the state. I'd say approximately 80% off all our orders are downgrades. It may be interesting to note though that schools are more like to keep Vista on notebooks than pc.
shutting down Democratic filibusters I don't know about you, but filibustering fucking pisses me off. It's just a nice way of saying "wasting taxpayer dollars in the most literal sense of the phrase." Not saying that the other side doesn't do it too, but complaining about one side stopping the other is hardly the best argument.

You do realize that you are talking about a politician here right?
Melodramatic much?
Have you ever actually looked at the nethack source? The real question should be "What part doesn't confuse you?" ;)
I put that apple in a fruit bank of course!
Mod parent insightful. Unless you are a package maintainer, the differences between RPM and DEB are negligible with any modern distro.
Just FYI, Fedora dropped the "Core" a few versions back. It's just Fedora 9 or F9 now. (although packages still have a *.fc9.*... in them...)

If ever there was an article deserving of the "itsatrap" tag...
Yeah, so as I said, FUD.

Writing legislation not only reveals what he believes in, but also gives some indication as to how strongly motivated towards certain goals he is.
No. They are just good enough liars that they are able to convince you otherwise.
As another poster continuing this wishlist, I want a pony.
Once a machine has been pwnd you cannot trust it again, just reinstall the whole damn thing.
Interesting. I've seen a large increase in Vista adoption.
The Powers That Be [PTB] (the queen, the rothchilds' the Colonel, etc.) What are you, some sort of La Rouche idiot?
This is because George Bush hates hot people.
I tried to RTFA, but I couldn't because I wasn't registered. Don't give me that bugmenot crap either.
I think it would be more similar to jailing the prostitute who was raped for prostitution.
Ricers are generally better suited by linux. The average windows user does NOT want to do all that stuff.

Obviously the only real benchmark is bogomips.
No. It's because idiots think telephone lines are tubes through which you yell. Talk normally and turn up the speaker on the phone if necessary.
