And this is why I believe that unions are too powerful.

Where I used to live (Victoria, BC), janitors in the hospital got paid more than the medical staff. Why? Because the medical staff were considered an essential service by the government, and therefore not allowed to strike. Because the janitors were not considered essential, they were allowed to strike, and therefore drove up their pay rates.
Unions were useful in their day. They eliminated harsh working conditions. Now the government performs that task with laws, and unions have become superfluous.

intentionally be completely unproductive until they get it.
There is no place for someone who is deliberately not doing their job. Discipline them. They should use legitimate channels to handle their problems, not act like spoiled two-year-olds.
The problem is with the way XML works. Unless your XML editor only handles a limited set of document types (eg DocBook and HTML only), it doesn't know where to find chapter titles, section titles, etc. Is it ? Or is it foo? Or something completely different? Unless there's a standard way of marking up the titles, your editor has no way to extract the titles from the document for you.

No. Unlike Linux, where the distributions add patches to a standard kernel, the BSD kernels have forked off from each other, meaning that their kernels have taken different development routes.
This means, for example, that while a driver written under RedHat Linux will probably work with any other Linux, a driver written under FreeBSD will probably not work with the other BSDs.
Probably has something to do with the amount of piracy. I mean, how many pirates deliberately contact the owner of the software they copied in order to pick up updates? Especially with something like Windows, where you don't know what data is being sent back to them.
Since you already broke the law by kazaa'ing the file, does it really make a difference if you run it? Do they just want to be able to add up more charges on you?
I believe the GNU toolchain can generate code for several embedded systems.

Less users spurring development I suppose.
I think that's exactly it. NVidia has released binary-only drivers for Linux and Windows, but not for any other OS. They claim that they can't release the source because part of it is licenced from another source (can't remember who), and that they aren't licenced to release it.

Depending on your viewpoint, one of my "major advantages" to the BSD system may be a disadvantage to you. And it wouldn't translate well to Linux.
If you get FreeBSD 4.7, it is exactly the same as anybody else's FreeBSD 4.7 in terms of included software. There's no RedHat FreeBSD, SuSE FreeBSD, Debian FreeBSD, etc. It's just FreeBSD.
Now if only they could get that NVidia driver working, it would be perfect.
Thanks for reminding me. I seem to recall that some older software had licenses accidentally written in such a way as to preclude copying it to RAM, but I thought that this legal loophole was closed. Of course, this was a while ago, so I could be mistaken.
I have to ask. If you're trying to squeeze all the math power you can out of your computer, why are you using an interpreted language? Use something compiled so your computer can spend its time doing the math, not parsing the code.
Copying or using any copyrighted program is illegal.
I'll agree that copying a copyrighted program is illegal. Where do you get off saying the using it is illegal?
Yes a legal agreement, is binding if you actually sign a legal contract with a notory present.
I think you'll find that there's no requirement to have a notory present. There was no notory present, for example, when I signed the lease on my apartment. Does that mean I can't legally live there, because the document wasn't legally executed?
So don't use MD5. Use PGP or some other signature instead of checksums. The only problem then is getting authentic keys; that's where keyservers and the Web of Trust come in.
Why do people keep posting that? If that keeps up, NYT may disable the &partner=google accout, and we will have destroyed the usefulness of Google News.

Not evil. Misguided. Remember that you should never attribute to malice what is perfectly explainable by stupidity.
And how would you use these without also blinding your audience?

Instead of pointing to the front page, it may be more useful to point at the mirror list.

With the possible exception of copyright-extension laws.
Obviously, you're not truly dedicated, otherwise you would have memorized that flier.

And you download your patches how?
If you didn't agree to the licence, you have no legal means of distributing the code - you would be breaking copyright law.
