No, it is a tabloid (2) , smartass.

You'll note that TFA says "stolen" and "pirated" in relation to the intercepted video, which is the propaganda doublespeak of the copyright cartels. So at least Murdoch's WSJ thinks it's already copyrighted.

Now that the WSJ is a Rupert Murdoch mouthpiece, it is a tabloid.

I don't think there are centuries of relevant court rulings. At least not ones that come down on the side of the subscriber. If there were then these terms wouldn't be in the contract.

Read the Terms and practically every other sentence says "We reserve the right not to deliver any service of any kind, change your plan and terms at any time for any reason, or terminate you for even using your service in any way we don't like as strictly decided by us."

Heck, they say outright that service is entirely at their whim: "The purchase of an iPhone does not guarantee service." That seems like a 100% escape clause.

Um... Have you read the contract? One of the terms of the contract is that they can change the terms of the contract anytime they want, with or without notice. Sweet, huh?

My sarcasm detector is unable to grok this statement. Are you serious?

You realize that "sheeple" has been in use for more than fifty years? And by such low-brow publications as Emory University's quarterly magazine, and the Wall Street Journal? (I'll let you GTFW yourself for the citation.)

Summarily dismissing a comment because of a word you don't like is silly, I think.

Not only does your friend have an old OS, he must live in a rural area with a very old phone switch.

Most modern phone switches do not have pulse-dialing capability.

Because if I had to buy any parts there I had to pay their ludicrous high prices.

Toilet paper manufacturers should be held responsible for recycling their products post-consumer...

Does it have a USB port and a BIOS new enough to boot from said USB port? You're screwed.

How do you know I'm not a woman? Oh, right, this is /. ;)

I think you can chose from a settings menu to let Thunderbird use the built-in Gnome file selector. Don't quote me on that.

Have you tried F-Spot or DigiKam? DigiKam is pretty slick, and I understand F-Spot is even sharper.

Dolphin feels clunky to me. I find myself running screaming back to konquerer --profile filemanagement when I'm using KDE.

What do you mean by no thumbnail view "in gnome"? That's like saying no thumbnail view "in windows". You must have been in some application in windows to be able to do that.

I just tried it in Nautilus (Gnome file manager), which defaults to thumbnail view. To bring Nautilus up, I clicked Home Folder under the Places menu. Nautilus allowed me to select two pictures, right-click on them, and select to send them by email in the resulting pop-up. Up came an Evolution compose window with the pictures attached and ready to send. Cake.

I didn't see any option for sending a resized version, but is that alone really what makes her vehemently against "Linux"?

If they want to have an adventure, nothing wrong with that, all for it. But these blokes are suggesting what they are doing can't be done any other way than on an arduous 3-month walking tour, which is hogwash.
