What kind of ass-backwards player are you using that doesn't support compressed formats? Are you saying you're incapable of playing anything but raw DV and WAV and want to use inferior general-purpose compression for them, or what?
I gave LXDE a try months ago but it seemed pretty rough around the edges. Maybe I should look at it again; I can get to a kdm login prompt in 29 seconds, but KDE4 takes *another* 30 after logging in...
The biggest problem with BIND is the problem between the keyboard and chair, if your false statements there about its database support are any indication.
And if you rape, pillage or murder (or all three), you're subject to less punishment than if the m in your example was 20. In america, that is. There is no fair use defense because there is nothing there worth defending.
Put it this way - if we let the BBC "encrypt" content, it becomes a defensible position for not paying the Licence fee. I only need a TV Licence if I own receiver equipment that can pick up their TV programmes.
Want an example? Go run `find / | xargs md5sum` or something. Observe that the LED on the front of your PC doesn't spontaneously explode.
In fact I've got a few 2W LED lights that have been going for about 2-3 years. A few of the individual LEDs aren't working, but that's because they've got poor quality solder joints that broke after a few days (stupid RoHS causes more problems than it ever solved).
the mobile phone/smart phone market has shown that customers aren't slavishly devoted to Windows. they will buy what works.
But it's also proven they'll buy what doesn't. The practice of selling crippled and sabotaged phones in the US hasn't slowed down one bit in spite of the iPhone. Put a shitty ARM port of windows in front of these people and they'll mindlessly slurp it up.
That's only plausible assuming you only use a log-structured filesystem. Use something that stores something in a fixed position on disk, say... a journal, and you'll find it can survive a lot less than 28 trillion writes.
How is this any worse than writing code that uses GCC extensions? I bet you've already done that without realising it. Well, either that or you've never written a line of compiled code in your life.

Now there's an interesting question... are you subject to road laws if your vehicle doesn't touch the road?

And then we can have magic flying hamburgers that zoom into your mouth when you give them the secret whistle!
Killer Access Point? Is that like a wifi Killer NIC?

IE6 has a security model?
Who's saying he likes those?
mainframes have a MTBF of what, 40 years?
AFAIK modern mainframes have redundant, hot-swappable everything, which would mean they can be kept running indefinitely.
This is the most incredible WHOOSH I have ever seen on Slashdot. Bravo.
AAAHHHHHHH! It burns!

3. If they survive but with a severe mental handicap, promote them to editor.

Then I'll take "copy the shows off the box" and use online program guides.
But it's still cheaper than Verizon!

Oh you can keep your XP SP1. You're not even the target audience for ARM.

That is because there is absolutely no direct relationship between game play and the graphics quality.
Yes there is - an inverse one.

It works fine in C too, actually.
What does the GNU D Compiler have to do with any of this?
You mean like UDF, which works in every OS that supports DVDs?
