No, a more accurate comparison would be: if you're a convicted sex offender in the U.S. and you're in jail in some other country for rape, while the U.S. might help you arrange legal representation, they shouldn't handle your case themselves, pro bono.
I'm somewhat actively looking for a laptop to run Linux, but I've found the various websites mentioned to be far from useful. It seems that laptop models change about every three months or so.
For instance: I looked at CompUSA selling an HP Pavilion zt1250. I haven't found any linux/laptop site which mentions this model. Not only this, but HP's website has no listing for this model at all, not even an historical reference.
I get the feeling that, as a general rule, by the time someone gets Linux up and running on a new model, that model is no longer being manufactured.
A lot of pages I find about running linux on a laptop tend to say things like: works great out of the box, except for sound, X, modem, network, and power management.
I think there needs to be differentiation between "electronica" and "electronic music".
Subotnick was purely synth. TD and Schulze each had periods where they were all-synth. Heck, Kraftwerk had drums and vocals, decidedly non-synthesizer instruments.
Actually, bands like Tangerine Dream and artists like Schulze predated Kraftwerk and Jarre. W. Carlos helped develop the Moog as a classical instrument, and Morton Subotnick definitely pushed the envelope of electronic composition. While these artists can't be considered "electronica" by today's standards (any more than Led Zepplin, Black Sabbath and Uriah Heep are "heavy metal") they established the groundwork for electronic music.
This publication's parent company, INT Media Group, recently purchased the remaining assets of Jupiter, including its research and events business. However, this event was not included in the purchase.
The article states that there's potentially tens of thousands of consumers who might be eligible for the $40 refund. Of course that's only a few million dollars. Mere noise to a company with $38 billion in cash reserves. So it's not the financial impact, but the precedent the case sets.
Indeed. Saying that all you get is username/pw is like saying that when you pay thousands of dollars to a car dealership, all you're really paying for is two little pieces of metal, or when buying a house, all you really pay for is a piece of paper that says you own it.
Also from the CNET article: when we ran File > Quit from the JavaScript debugger, instead of closing just the debugger window, it closed all of our Mozilla browser windows, as well--definitely not the behavior we expected...
When you expect that Quit will do something other than quit, all other bets are off. Funny how they didn't mention the only other menu item in that menu: Close. Wonder what that one would do, close the menu?
Attack of the Clones hasn't been released in some countries. Arguably, availability of pirated DVD's will reduce the box office grosses in those countries. I doubt anyone's actually studied the numbers, though.
According to the referenced article, 80% of manufacturers already use these ID's. Requiring the remaining 20% to use ID's shouldn't make much difference in the marketplace. This also seems to suggest that we're not talking about watermarking or anything which would survive copying.
Re:True Type font support missing from official bu

I dunno about the RPMs. The installation instructions say:
To check if the build has TrueType support compiled in set the
environment variable NS_FONT_DEBUG to 400 and run
the browser. If it reports "freetype not compiled in"
then this build does not have TrueType support built in and
cannot display TrueType fonts.
I installed the RedHat RPMs and running mozilla-bin I get
And "Police protection" does not protect police either. "Copy protection" protects the copyright holder against unauthorized copies. It's common usage. Trying to change it will be harder than the "hacker" battle.
Another alternative to consider is the NuBus branch of LinuxPPC. The most recent kernel listed is 2.4.5.
How old does a Mac have to be before it can't run YDL or LinuxPPC?
Since NuBus-LinuxPPC boots 6/7/8100's, theoretically, a Mac would have to be so old as to have a 68K instead of a PowerPC processor before it can't run some version of LinuxPPC.
The PowerBook 5300 is listed among the "known to work."
From what I can tell, they sell their own Linux distribution as a sideline of their real business, which is clusterable servers running YDL. While a 500MHz G4 isn't the absolute newest, it's not bad.
I think by "BeBox" they mean any PPC running BeOS, not specifically the Be Inc. BeBox.
No, they're referring to the PPC-based hardware that Be Inc. produced and sold for a short time. After all, NetBSD is its own OS, and doesn't care what other OS's your hardware might be capable of running.
What I wouldn't do for one of those babies though. Honestly, BeOS is beautiful...
For the most part, BeOS is strictly an x86 OS. It's been a few years now since a PPC-based machine has been manufactured with which BeOS is compatible.
I hate to suggest the obvious, but have you tried the whois contact information?

While the party line of LinuxPPC is that it only supports PCI-based machines, there is, in fact a non-Mach Linux kernel which currently runs on 6100, 7100, and 8100 (NuBus) Power Macs. Granted, it's not part of LinuxPPC.com's distribution, but it's still part of the LinuxPPC world.

I wonder what the legality of a term like copywritten is. It's obvious that he meant copyrighted, but how would a court of law interpret a contract with such terms?
Well, according to IMDB, 2001 was released in 1968, while Colossus: The Forbin Project came out in 1969. I suppose you could argue that Colossus went online in the 1980's, but HAL wasn't "born" until 1997.
I seriously doubt that D.F. Jones' publication of the novel Colossus in 1966 affected Kubrick and Clarke who began production of 2001 in 1965. Clarke and Kubrick met in April 1964, and quickly agreed on The Sentinel as a cornerstone. I don't know when the computer-run-amuck idea came about, but excerpts from Clarke's log, quoted in the excellent The Lost Worlds of 2001 (1972, Signet) state:
August 6 [1964]. Stanley suggests that we make the computer female and call her Athena.
May 3 [1965]. Finished first draft of the runaway antenna sequence.
So it seems fairly certain that this predates Colossus.

Oh come on -- there's binaries, just not the ones you're looking for. There seems to be a pretty fair archive of comp.binaries.apple2.

Last time I checked, 512 was only twice as much as 128. The first Mac had 128, not 64, and was soon upgradable to 512 (aka Fat Mac).
If crops from Monsanto's seeds don't prevent viable seeds, why is Schmeiser "prohibited from planting seed kept from his 1997 and 1998 crops?"
