that's just silly. Esperanto is a Latinate language, and thus suitable solely for western thought and concepts.
Well, at least that's enough for propaganda of PRC and buddhism...[/not-so-serious]
We already have a logical, consistent Latinate language that isn't an artificial construct and in fact has over a million speakers, as opposed to Esperanto's few thousand (inflated lies to the contrary): Latin!
I don't speak Latin, but I feel your "consistent" is wrong. Why is "artificial" a problem?
Some people complain sometimes that Esperanto is too often used for talking about Esperanto (e.g. that conversations on other topics sometimes end up being about Esperanto).
Does Lojban have that (perceived) problem? Or is (as it seems to be) the role of an about-Lojban language delegated to English?
Except that, whenever I come to #lojban on IRC (I probably did that between 5 and 10 times though), I see only a short discussion in English, usually about translation of some phrase into Lojban.
Do Windows users not care about the price? Haven't they just spent all their money on the latest video card to run the game?
IIRC, most people who buy expensive games do that right after the release. So I guess they just want to get the latest game as soon as possible, no matter the price or the legality.
Maybe Windows users that buy games pay to get them first, because it is illegal to put the games on the Internet for everyone to download, so it is easier to get the game at a shop (legally or not!) than find a place to download it from.
But maybe it is easier because the people who have bought the game are busy playing, and not because they care about being caught for copyright infringement? Then a free-as-in-speech-but-commercial game would probably sell in the first days after the release (unless the source code was available for download before then, though that often happens with binaries of proprietary games as well) as good as a proprietary one.
> do I think "forward" and it'll give the game a keystroke?
No, you think "I really really really want this game to move my character forward relative to its position, please, please, please, Neural Impulse Actuator, do it.", and it'll give the game a stack overflow, if you are lucky.
Theoretically, by removing IE, Windows should be cheaper too. So you could say that IE shouldn't be free anymore either (since they're basically "dumping" it on the market they already own).
To use IE legally, you must have a valid Windows 4+ or Windows NT license.
I haven't had any crash since; I don't know if that's because of the update, or because of my Fx usage patterns (the crash-full days were probably up to a week apart).
it is nice to finally see a network starting to implement a way to work with today's want of free content without the legal repercussions that can come along with P2P sharing.
Do they mean to say that P2P would be notably dangerous even if MTV would choose it to distribute its free content (well, it would, at least in Russia, because the laws do not care about people, so legally you are supposed to pay money for software no matter what)? Or that BitTorrent = Gnutella, or something?
Or that files on a website is a new, innovative, never seen before, method of distributing files???

Pruvon. Donu pruvon.
Oops, that was me.
See? English spelling is that hard to learn
Oops, sorry. :( Haven't used /. for years, confused the italicized citation with the message.
Maybe I put the "only" in the wrong place. There is a short discussion in English, but none in Lojban. How often do they use Lojban on IRC?

Don't forget to fix the rest of the chaos.

...but not everything, since the "Linux" article must not contain a Microsoft ad with a link to "getthefactswevemadeup".
Will they put the specifications out under a free unencumbered licence?

Will it and its software be encumbered in 50 patents, full of brainwave-based DRM sending logs upstream, and WindowsNT-only?
Many of my crashes lately were bug 388993, Crash when opening a new tab.
So I have updated Firebug on 2007-12-01, as John J. Barton said.
I haven't had any crash since; I don't know if that's because of the update, or because of my Fx usage patterns (the crash-full days were probably up to a week apart).
Hope that helps.

Firefox 3 will have a star for one-click bookmarking in the address bar.
Like 95+nothing, 95+OSR2, 98+nothing, 98+SE, ME+nothing?
FWIW, do you have Firebug installed?

"GNU Affero General Public License" is not the same thing as "Affero GPL" or something. If you read GNU AGPL, it says that explicitly.
