You need to be able to work on a team, and you need to be able to deal with a large group.
A large group coding requires CVS or something similar. This should be included in the curriculum.

Seems like modifying X11's style of copy-paste would work really well for moving chunks of text- highlight it with one hand, then paste it into a text body with the other hand- it'd be faster since you wouldn't have to move each hand as much. If you insist on a literal interpretation of "middle-click", it'd also make for a great way to mod posts down on/.;)
Just because you dislike porn doesn't mean you can tell other people whether or not they should be allowed to watch it. That's what freedom's about. You know, that thing America's founded upon but the government keeps trying to quash? Yeah, that.
Consider the purely hypothetical clause: 'This software cannot be used in the production or use of closed-source software.'
I've considered it, and I like that idea. Doesn't that basically match the intent of the GPL anyway? I'd think that's a lot more clear and harder to dispute than the current GPL- throwing that in there would be quite clear, wouldn't it? What would that rule out that the current GPL doesn't?
Entertainment: The classic "nerd" stuff-
Hitchiker's Guide, Lord of the Rings, etc...
All the classics, Shakespearean works, that sort of thing.
Education is of course a key, and all the major scientific writings, from Newton's Optiks on should be free, but "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy"- focusing entirely on Information while forgetting Entertainment will not be as good.
I had two computers with Norton Antivirus (2005 I think it was) installed. I could get it off the XP computer cleanly, but the one with Windows ME, it still left bits and pieces all over the place... had to uninstall it, remove it, delete stuff- and eventually reformat the hard drive and install Linux. AVG Antivirus was what I used in the interim, and it did a good job of keeping up with the crap my parents kept dumping on it.
It's amazing how Norton got itself keyed into the system like that, and there's really no way it should have been doing that. I should be able to uninstall it- and have it be gone.
It not doing so is rather virus-like, and I'll never use Norton antivirus or firewall again.

Fuck the RIAA.

Voting machines are rigged for the two-party system, who's really surprised here?
I'll take them. I can put Linux on them and use them as random servers or whatever.
Or they could do the smart thing and give them to students.

18 months, and that's the best they could do? Sad that it's even irrititating the first time. I'm glad I'll never have to listen to that.

Bad mod! No cookie! (except the one from XXX-hawt-slutty-shemales-dot-com that's hacking your wireless, obv)
Death by Snu Snu- classic.

Someone make dormsurfing.com solely for the purpose of making people miserable by "fitting" an extra person in the dorm room.
Good stuff. Hopefully some of those free drivers will get spread around to Linux as well.

"Interested parties can download a free copy" Richard Stallman has a word to say to the submitter.

If a community takes action against a conduct it regards as "wrong" it's taking away peoples' right to choose that action.
Let's not also forget the hypocrisy of the religious anti-porn advocates while we're on the subject.

The space elevator isn't the only thing required to get to Alpha Centauri. Noobs.
I'd much rather they not corrupt the project by doing that. It's awesome as is, if it turned into yet another kind of lame advertising, that'd suck.
U[sic]GA couldn't even come close to accomplishing this. Nice try, OP.
