Interesting. I wanted to go see a doctor to make sure my immunizations were up to date. I called about 10 offices and no one could see me within the next three months. Thats here in the midwest.

...I actually know people who thought that the BNW looks actually quite nice...
Only if you end up an alpha.
They don't do that anymore, in fact when they changed their policy it was posted on slashdot.
Forbes has been pro-Microsoft, anti-Linux for years. Someone with some weight at Forbes has a conflict of interest I imagine.
I used to live in Fresno. No snow you have to deal with, not much rainy days, an hour away from the mountains. If it wasn't a desirable place to live why has the population skyrocketed even compared to the rest of California as a whole?
What about people who read "Make Magazine", "Nut and Volts", "Sky and Telescope", "Linux Pro"? People who reads those are just wannabes?
Well considering the only people who identify themselves as 'Americans' (Pronounced: A-mur-i-cans) are United States citizens, I'm going to take a wild guess that he's talking about United States citizens.
Except your wrong, I've talked with some Guatemalans who consider themselves Americans.

Latinum can't be replicated. Which is used for currency.
Also everything is not free, These replicators take energy which comes from somewhere. On the ships it comes from the warp core which takes dilithium to fuel which needs to be mined.
And FYI, SparkFun Electronics, one of the companies listed, makes more than $10 million in annual revenue, which is some serious growth for one company in a new field. Couple that with sheer awesome, and you get a powerful combination.
I like SparkFun. I do buy stuff from them, but really they pretty much just a easier to use digikey or newark. Most of their designs that are "open" can be considered an unfavorable type of Open Source, since about all of them have the stipulation that they are not to be used for any commercial purposes. This seriously dampens what could be done with it. I can't take the design and code expand on it into a single board to use for my purposes and use it at work.. Nope unless I want to start from scratch I have to buy their breakout, and run wires. Doesn't quite seem like the open source spirit. Maybe the old unix open source spirit.
A family of beavers working together, and non of them got paid either I sure. How much you want to bet there was a bunch of lazy leftist pot smoking elitist beavers that just watched while the hard working god fearing beavers similar to you and me worked and put the whole thing together. This is an example of what happens when you have a democrat in office as president even the beavers up north are being affected.
That works for your group because your a non profit and probably less than 3000 users. If you aren't a non-profit, $100k is only 2000 gmail accounts. gmail isn't free beyond a point. Free isn't available to Yale, they have a need of more than 3000 users.
I used to think this, however when you are playing you only see from your perspective, how do you know there aren't a bunch of others who claim they are trying to help, to just fail or abuse people's charity. If the world was about to end I would imagine there would be lots of people claiming they would go and save the day. If I gave all my stuff to every one who claimed that, I would just be starving for the remaining time I had left. This is why I wouldn't want you going into my house taking stuff, and I would still sell you weapons at my weapon shop instead of giving it to you for free. If I gave weapons away for free, there would be no weapons for the "real" heroes to buy, whoever they might end up being. I would have ran out of my stock and been unable to refill my inventory.
>>>Install a linux of some sort
Yep. And then I won't be able to run:
- My Dialup ISP (the dialup is okay but the web accelerator refuses to run)
web accelerator is an image compressor and is lame, so is dialup. If you really must, you can use a cache proxy instead.
- Games
You can get many games to run on Linux.
- Atari or Nintendo emulators
There are a lot of emulators for Linux
- Flash
There is flash for linux
- Opera 10 (refuses to install)
Never had a problem installing opera.
- RealPlayer
There is real player for linux
- Ipod-encoded (MP4) video
You can use ffmpeg with kino.
I loved it that at one point in the game to go on, you had to edit the registry to tell the game to look for the game data in a directory on your drive drive and not on the CD, then replace one of the video files so you were able to continue on with the game. This was the solution listed on the Eidos support site.
It is also great that the minigames were cpu cycle timed instead of actual time. Trying to replay it a few years later on a faster computer, it is impossible to play any of the minigames because the minigame is done right when in starts.
Battles at high resolution were cool though, to bad about all the other problems.
