They might have got it to work with light, but it doesn't count as physical matter since it has no measurable mass to begin with. Either way I doubt we'll ever have atoms being beamed from one place to another.
ext4's fsck is faster than ext3's because it keeps track of unused areas of disk explicitly - as opposed to having to check them just in case there's something there.
It takes seconds instead of minutes, which is good enough to convince me to stop skipping it.
Now try buying an all in one printer, a USB TV Tuner, and a Wifi USB stick. Remember-NO RESEARCH. Now go to distro foo and see if device barr you just got at Walmart works.
Having bought an overpriced prebuilt many years ago, I've been through all that and more. I still remember the five hour delay while Windows Update downloaded a 30MB bloated, shitty sound card driver over dialup because the OEM install CD didn't bother to include one. It worked on Knoppix "out of the box". Guess windows just isn't ready for the desktop.
This would be more analogous to suing someone who torrents under the excuse that nobody in town sells CDs any more - when it turns out the last CD shop closed because the same person was smashing the storefront windows and assaulting people trying to enter the store.
I've already got global IPv6 addresses on every machine on my LAN (even the ass-backwards XP one) and could trivially add Mobile IPv6 support if there was a good reason to.
So what does this Microsoft thing do, besides vendor lock-in?
People were "setting up their own Facebook" long before that site came along to brainwash simple-minded users into thinking there was no other way to have a personal website.
Stallman isn't interested in puns - all he cares about is misappropriating credit for the work of others who chose not to surrender their copyrights to the FSF, by rebranding everyone's software as "GNU/Linux".
Hell, the only reason he leaves the word Linux in there is that he knows if he pisses the kernel devs off, they could render GNU as irrelevant as Bitkeeper.
Most idiots that I've encountered calling themselves "website designers" assume that I've got either a 1024x768 or 800x600 75dpi screen and a copy of Photoshop installed for all the bland fonts they dump on their pages. The result is that the sites display tiny on my desktop and wider than my netbook can display, all in a puke-ugly bitmap Helvetica font.
Fuck 'em. Half my user CSS is for fixing the damage these idiots do, the other half blocks their ads.
but this Internet mob mentality is not the way to go about it Thanks anakata, or whatever the fuck you want to call yourself, thanks for being a childish dork and fucking everything up.
Yes, we should all listen to you, bend over and receive business as usual. After all you can clearly see much better ideas from where you're sitting, all the way up there on that high horse.

It was more for comparison than anything, but if you want to be pedantic let's pretend I live 200 miles from the nearest store.
Would anyone here complain if Gitmo were repurposed solely for curing the world of scientology?
It'd be better than its current racist use, at any rate.

The GBA port sucked because it was half-assed and had several major things cut (no end boss? lame).
If the iPhone one sucks, it's only because of irrational iPhone-hate.

Like MS Office?
FTFY.
on several systems, Apple is actually currently cheaper than the competition, especially in the pro and server lines
This I don't get. High end workstation stuff makes sense, but I don't see the point of the XServe at all.

Why your genius plan will fail, in three words:
Rubber hose cryptanalysis
Last.fm's main office is in London.
They're about to get crushed by the Data Protection Act, at the very least.
People were "setting up their own Facebook" long before that site came along to brainwash simple-minded users into thinking there was no other way to have a personal website.
As opposed to right clicking a swfdec object, clicking "Media" and doing "Save As" from there?

Actually that's a good idea - they could make it a POE source. Though it's not much use with only one Ethernet port...
Actually it sounds more like he was trying to justify his prejudice by lumping in Cory Doctrow with pedos, Nazis and terrorists.
Your problem is most likely smart quotes.
If you don't have $150 for an OS X licence, how about $5 to burn a Debian CD-R? Better than leaving it as an electronic paperweight.
It's fast enough for me on a 630Mhz CPU. Konqueror's is still faster, but Fx3 DID improve it. Stop whining.

Same Thomson Reuters that's currently suing its own customers for reverse engineering their proprietary file formats?
Clearly, the logical conclusion is that Soylent Green is Slashdot editors.
