You do realise that Microsoft has been about control from the beginning right? The Microsoft master plan is total domination over everything computer related.
I think the GP was trying to focus on the fact that Microsoft lied from the beginning rather then suggest someone should get to work on implementing it in XP.
In the UK this stuff is patent free because there are no software patents in England. It depends very much on where you live.
If Canonical made a UK distribution which included all the patented free software it would also create prior art in case of any changes in UK patent law.
Bullshit, if that's the case why did Stallman argue on the public BSD list telling them to get rid of the non-free section in which the user had to enabled themselves?
If that's the case why isn't Ubuntu free enough because you have to enable the non-free software repository yourself?
You have no idea about the GNU's true motives which are to censor all but free programs from being allowed.
Just because no one said it doesn't mean the FSF is trying to do it via actions they have done.
Tivoization is only a threat for some projects, it's not a threat for all and especially not for most open source programs which are programs built on top of the kernel layer.
The environmentalists believe in science as long as it supports their worldview. That is, being anti capitalist. As soon as a scientific finding conflicts with what they want, however, you can bet said belief wavers considerably.
Same thing happens with all these charities for breast cancer. It's caused less research to be done on other types of cancer which means you're more likely to die of a non-breast tumour.

No, I'd say the reason OGL exists is to be second place and suck..
I didn't say Europe I said the UK.
because you didn't read it the first time..
I can't believe you were modded up. What stupid mods.
There is of course a difference between "capable" and "practical".
Yes, problem is OpenGL just sucks and needs to be replaced by something better. I was hoping the new release of OpenGL would do it but here we are..

Or you could stop wasting time and do some damn work!

Isn't this the point of openGL? An API to dedicated graphics hardware with a backup software renderer if the hardware isn't supported?
Whose idea is this again? It doesn't look like much of an idea, more like a step backwards..
I guess Slashdot refuses to work for you too...
duh.. Hence why I said patented free software..
and ATI graphics cards won't suck and have full 3D...
Just because you open source something doesn't mean it suddenly becomes better.
It's obvious you're not a programmer because only a user would spew this nonsense.
There's only one person who is going to work on this code, that's the guy that open sourced it and works on Atheros firmware.

No, open sourcing this means nothing much and I doubt that now it's open source any part of the code will be changed because it's firmware.
So then it doesn't work better does it? Because the open source driver doesn't work at all.

..and why can't you do that with Debian?
At a depth of 1.5 miles? Please, enlighten me or stop with your dumb shit.
They're all virgins, however they're all ugly. Why else would they still be virgins.
Why make your own when you can use something like dropbox?.

Why would it threaten drilling rights? Unless the fish are living in the rock what's the problem?
*facepalm*
lol, sorry fag, we'll try to spell your favourite movie right next time..
