That's indeed a bad map :
- "No data" and "no law" shouldn't be in the same category
- The map key is badly ordered

I've been trying hard to switch since 2000...
Currently I dual boot (Mint and XP) because :
- Video editing is a joke on Linux (apps crash, can't control the camera via Firewire,...) -> Vegas
- Photo management on Linux is poor (digikam is so slow, non-intuitive and unable to geotag Canon raw images, Picasa with Wine is ugly and doesn't allow geotagging) -> Picasa/Photoshop
- I can't seem to find a reliable UPNP DLNA server that works with my all devices -> Foobar
- Banshee crashes on some songs -> Foobar
But I can't live without
- a powerful commandline
- an update infrastructure
- a huge software repository

Why Are We Losing Vertical Pixels? 1140
An anonymous reader writes "Switching from 1600x1200 to wide 1680x1050 to HD 1600x900, we are losing more and more vertical space, thus it is becoming less and less simple to read a full A4 page or a web page or a function call. What's the solution for retaining the screen height we need to be productive?"
Submission + - The New School of Videographers (osnews.com)
Provataki writes: This editorial discusses the impending explosion of hobbyist artistic videographers, in the same way that happened with digital photography just a few short years ago. The article claims that it's time camera manufacturers create camcorders equivalent in principle to the cheap DSLRs that we currently enjoy. Some beautiful HD footage, shot by amateurs, is shown too.

At last a sensible comment !
I can't imagine what we could have read in a Slashdot thread in 1890 when John Muir was lobbying for the creation of National Parks in the US...
