The opt out option is a trap, plain and simple. What you are doing is essensially saying "here is my email address" and they have an active account to share with their spammer friends.
Most spammers are doing so outside the law anyways, why would the stop just because you asked them? Unless its a legit newsletter, I say avoid the "opt out" thing.
It could encompass alot of things, flagging the entire net is possible
Rudd would flag the Liberal party website
The liberal party would flag Kevin Rudd's facebook page
Family First party would flag atheist websites
Atheists would flag Christian websites
Homophobes could flag gay rights webites
Pro lifers could flag pro-choice websites
Pro choicers could flag pro-lifers websites
Michael Atkinson (Australia's Jack Thompson) could flag gaming websites
Gamers could flag South Australian government websites
People with phobia's of cotton balls could flag Johnston + Johnston websites
You could really take that term and apply it to anything, it all depends on your prejudice.
If your running Android on a desktop however for stuff like Smartphones KDE and Gnome are bascially useless. I would suggest porting across Enlightenment E17, especially if the rumors are true about an Android run eeePC
As long as it doesnt include the codecs it should be fine (as its still open) however there is still abit of fear surrounding incorporating it into a distro
The true answer to all of this is to get HTML5 out the door!
Why the plugin wont be shipped by default is the same reason you pointed out of w32/64codecs. Licensing.
Suse may consider it (not likely in OpenSUSE though) however Ubuntu would most likely include it in the "Restricted Extras" bin where handy stuff like MP3, Flash, nVidia drivers and all the other handy functions that make PC's work well out of the box.
I don't know about the licensing issues in America. Im surprised Microsoft hasn't sued for Samba technologies if its that bad. The way I understood it these codec's are reverse engineered fair and square!
I think this is another "meh" considering Windows Media and MP3 formats are both taken care of by gstreamer plugins, w32(64)codecs and other codec packs avaliable in various repo's. Though I must admit Moonlight crashes my firefox less than Flash.
Where are all the origional commercial titles? Massive innovation is rare in the gaming industry period, just like everything else. Watch South Park episode "The Simpsons already did it" and you will know what I'm talking about. Open Source rip offs are just more honest about it.
Since when did you have to be mainstream? This is not about a war or anything! This is more of a case of the People's Front of Judea and the Campaign to Free Galilee just leaving eachother alone and doing their own thing
Well there goes Microsoft's chance on getting Windows 7 onto the netbook. OEMs will recieve complaints filling up their help desk lines over the app limit. The help desk will explain the old "its not a bug its a feature" and the user will ask for a refund claiming they didin't know about the app limit claiming to be ripped off. OEM's lose business and start moving to Home Basic forcing the price of netbooks up, OEMs that sell Linux versions will also bump up their prices too (so it will be cheaper but not by much) and netbooks will lose their appeal. Remember the appeal was they were cheap
Yeah plot twists piss me off too. Also if there is a game with a story that is good or important to the game, I dont want to know anything else past the first 1/3 of the story so I can engage in it myself.
Another pet peeve which comes under spoilers is when something like a trailer or a video review shows you how to do a puzzle in a game where puzzles are part of the fun (Zelda, Braid, Prince of Persia etc) or showing a bosses weakness.
I have a Q6600 / 8GB 800MHz RAM / 512MB Geforce 8600GT. I used 8.10 as my primary desktop for a few months. Now I'm using Win 7 beta
I have the same setup only with 4GB 800MHz RAM, I use Ubuntu 8.10 and I must say my main issue with Firefox is not so much Firefox itself but Flash. A more standard HTML or AJAX site, hell even a Silverlight one handles alot better. As for choppy X performance? I dont have any of that.
Windows 7 seems to be on track to what Windows Vista should have been. Its still a bigger resource hog than XP so it better be really cut down for the netbook edition. Still there seem to be some networking glitches and UAC hasn't gone away. Its good for a beta but still requires work.
Oh as for the new Ubuntu, I am thinking Kubuntu instead. After seeing KDE 4.2 in action I think after 5 years with Gnome its time to switch back to KDE for me.

In the SMB space yet but dont forget Red Hat/CentOS still dominates the enterprise in the Linux space.
Who they go/stick with will be important too.
...his wife is more bangable than Angelina.
No joke, no troll, just one hot lady!
Impart from both being pop culture, what else do they have in common? What can twitter provide Apple that they care about?

Problem is Telstra tries to "lay down the law" when it comes to personal use on your own time at home!
Greetings Thai King!

Actually its 802.11a and 802.11g
You need to relax dude, have a beer!
At least it shows twitter's creative side
If you have a sister that listens to Britney Spears you would know thats already been done

Need to top last time, the time I told her that she ignored her gods orders by giving her son "time out" instead of stoning him to death.
religion usually don't seem to be consciously chosen either
Tell that to my aunt! She thinks im an athiest out of choice because I want to "relish in sin and doesnt want to be held accountable"
Then compile it with something else, that way your comiling BASH using on a Linux kernel GCC running under pdksh, tcsh or zsh!
Problem solved, just dont attempt to think about compiling GCC or the kernel, your head may explode!
