Uhm wrong party. Haven't you been paying attention the last 28 years? The last Republican president that cared about reigning in pork was Ford. Debt ballooned under Reagon, Bush, Bush II and contracted under Clinton. All this Republicans are fiscally responsible crap is bunk, so stop spreading lies.
How long until the anti-innovation crowd at the RIAA comes knocking with a lawsuit? Or better, they'll use it as proof of why the broadcast flag is needed.
The trouble was potential subscribers had to:
1. Get a new phone
2. Switch providers to Sprint/Nextel & sign a 2-yr contract
Not to mention the huge fees for content you can get on any web-enabled phone for free.

Unfortunately I haven't found many composers and arrangers calling for penny whistles. If brass, piano, and woodwind players of former centuries complained about it being too hard, you can certainly bet the majority of today's players would as well. This is of course the reason why equal temperment was adopted in the first place.
The point was that woodwinds are designed to replicate equal temperment, not just temperment. Earlier woodwinds from this millenium did try and replicate just temperment. These of course had way too many tone holes and were impossible to master. This, along with similar complications on piano predecessors, is of course why western music adopted equal temperment in the first place.
Of course the limits of physics and human engineering mean that woodwinds are inexact in their replication of equal temperment, but this fact is entirely beside the point.
You string snobs love to complain about equal temperment. Those of us who play woodwind instruments are very thankful western music evolved beyond just temperment years ago. Without it we would either be constrained to play in fewer keys or require ~20 more fingers to cover the exploding number of toneholes just temperment would require.
All the heavyweight window managers seem to want to rewrite the world. Why do I need kthis and kthat or gthis and gthat? Nonsense. X editors, image programs, web browsers, terminals, and calculators all existed long before KDE and GNOME appeared. Why do these projects feel compelled to rewrite every application in their own image?
This is why I still run Afterstep.
emacs has all of these features that you are asking for: front-end for gdb enabling highlighting in source code for debugging, integrated support for source control including CVS, and incredibly good support for C/C++ syntax highlighting/editing.
If you are coming from vi, you can even change the default keybindings to vi-style bindings.
Poweroff after crash for 3c90x to work

Computer Voodoo?

If my kernel panics and I do a soft reboot from a serial debugger, 3c90x claims it can't find my card. Power cycling the machine fixes the issue.
Driver module authors are of course free to license their code as they see fit. While binary driver module authors and others are free to distribute their driver _standalone_ without providing source (even this is disputed by the FSF), they are not free to distribute a kernel compiled with their driver linked in. Such a work is derivative and is therefore subject to the GPL.
Ask Cisco (Linksys) how they fared trying to keep their binary modules closed when they distributed the WRT54G wireless router. See also http://linux.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/05/14/ 2059242
Including proprietary drivers in a distribution violates the GPL because your are distributing a derivative GPL work (the linux kernel) without also making the source code available.
It would seem Microsoft loves to lead the interoperability cause for technologies that they do not have a majority market share (e.g. AOL's instant messaging protocol). If it truly seeks a truce with FOSS, it should extend the olive branch by opening up things like the.wmv format. Also consider MSN's new video venture video.msn.com which requires Windows, IE, and Media Player. How can one face talk about improving interoperability while another continues to push proprietary MS-only content?

Republican and liberty is an oxymoron. Have you been living in a cave the last 6 years?

Wrong party. Haven't you been watching the last 6 years?
Why would anyone want this instead of just using a $140 500GB sata disk with a WORM emulation software?
Uhm duh. This has been going on for years.
What's scary is the story appeared in the Economist a week and a half before it appeared on slashdot.
You think your data stays locked in those databases and isn't horse traded around by corporations?

Nonsense. Playing solo or with strings perhaps, but not in an ensemble. Especially not with piano.

Ubuntu seems to get this right without requiring users to pay them. Not to mention yum is a rip-off of apt-get which has been in Debian since forever.

How are they working around this?
