Agree. I have dual up with wallpaper, but I rarely see it anyway. I also like to have plasma in only one screen.

well no, not yet anyways. But if you make a shortfilm with your camera and decide to sell it, then you have to pay up big time.

No, but you have other patents, codecs etc, which where introduced for cameras and other physical objects.

Wow, you have it bad. In my country the hearing aid is paid for by the government, ether all of it or partially. It is ordered by your doctor or a special branch of the social-department. And this is how all aids is handled. Ether wheelchair, hearing aid or whatever. Glasses is not covered except is special cases.

Agree, The default XP theme is the most ugly theme I have ever seen. Ubuntus default theme is tenfold more beautiful then that. I don't mind the default ubuntu theme at all, though I prefer my own. The XP theme makes me want to hurl.

Soap isn't the same as disinfecting, mind you.

That reminds me of a song...
