This is *not* piracy. It has nothing to do with stealing and murder on the high seas. It is however *copying* and I suggest that that is what you call it.
What's with this obsession with text? Text is not at all significant in disk space usage. At a reading rate of 3 minutes/K, that means it takes you 10 000 years before you have finished your first Tb of text. Pah. (Oh, and I know scientists from Keele, the concept that they could produce something like this is laughable).
If the source code ever becomes available... we would at last be able to resolve the issue that we have been pondering for years... "How much GNU and Linux is there in Windows?".
... and what's more the document is terribly typeset (making it difficult to read) (must have been done using Word?). If only
they had used an intelligent document preparation
system... like... oh... LaTeX for example... which incidently wouldn't have cost them a bean.
There have been several suggestions as to who the Major Software House is. We won't know for sure today.
However, look around in 3-4 months time for a "Major Software House" (previously known only for distributing proprietary Winxx software) unexpectedly announcing in a blaze of publicity that they have seen the light and have a *new Linux product*(TM). Then we will know...
What an appallingly formatted document. If he'd done a bit more research, he would have been able to find that Achtung has been in serious development and would have been far more preferable than troff. (Or (since he mentions it) (La)TeX, seminar style). Oh... and he willfully ignores the HURD too (the designers of which have been influenced by Plan9, I understand).
Please someone write a new HOWTO for StarCraft. There is an old one, but it does not talk about new Wines (do you still get the zergling rush problems?) and it assumes too much (IMO) familiarity with Wine. I would be grateful.
Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs Abelson & Sussman (or some such). I have bought many programming books over the past... n years (n>10). This is the outstandingly best one (has a clear view of OO). Buy this. Learn from it. Then buy/download the impelentation of choice ((Win + VB) vs (Linux + C(++)) not an issue.

So... how far <i>is</> a click?
Sound just the sort of thing to be written by an EX-other-half...(lets see if that links page gets updated soon).
How long before Shane or his teammates are using GNUCash?
Question: Did you build for multiboot compliance? :-)
Hmmm... you could use GRUB. GRUB can boot anything
sounds a bit like Neal Stephenson's cryptonomicon (except for the UK government's tendency to leave their subjects with no privicy whatsoever :( ).
The book is good, btw.
:-)
Errr... well yeah. That's pretty much exactly what I did :-).

Foreign country.... somewhere in Europe... begins with N... that's close enough for most Americans.
This is (+1: Funny), not to be marked down foolish moderator(s).
"Linux" is the one thing that you can't run with this software. "GNU applications" is far more appropriate.

Uggggglllllly! Gnumeric's Ugly Sister. Where's the themes on that then?

Did the ancient egyptians and greeks have telescopes?

The is mind-bogglingly cute. Presumably you didn't think this up on the spur of the moment?
GNU/Linux is based on Commerical Software! By selling Emacs in 1984 at $150, RMS became the first OSS (if you like such MS-isms) vendor.
Do you mean AMD 751/VIA 686 motherboard chipset is bad and that KX133 based motherboard is worth waiting for?
Are you (still) surprised that many people thought that you wrote DeCSS?
This shouldn't be too hard to implement
It isn't - but then again Slashdot it not in LISP, so who know?
