It's EXTREMELY different as schools and libraries are paid for by the government, they regulate them. Internet cafes are not owned by the government. I would say it is more akin to new yuck state telling restaurants that they can't allow smoking unless they build an air-tight room for it (bars too I believe). And anyway, if the US did it it would be equally as wrong, and believe me, the people of slashdot would me angry.

The site is not a "republic" and never claimed to be, so the site can restrict as much as it wants, and still have a valid name. The name refers to our republic.

A private server disallowing people to post on its message board is NOT trampling anyone's freedom of speach. It's as if you owned a bar, and someone kept on making trouble in your bar, you would kick him out, and keep him out, and use the law if necessary.
Many of the articles on the site border on disgraceful racism
WTF does this mean? That because someone posts an article that you *think* (note the key word, as liberals tend to think most anything is racist) is racist, the whole site is bad?
There are many black and asian people on that board for your information.
BTW, they don't "clamp down on those who think differently" as I often go there, and post opposing view points, there is the occasional idiot, but there are those everywhere.

If FreeRepublic allowed for anonymous users than how the heck is this trespassing? Or did FreeRepub just make an exception to the rule and say "Well everyone else can be anonymous, just not X"?
Freerepublic doesn't allow users to log on anonymously, that's the point. The server is private property, so Jim Rob can let anyone he wants on there, and if an offending user keeps on coming back, and harassing the people on the board, he will get charged with trespassing.

This is true, in fact, the first person that comes to mind when I think of censorship is Joe Liberman.
One must admit, though, that Republicans are bad too, they support such things as the flag burning amendment (even my favorite republican congressman, Bob Barr).
My rule is, don't trust any of 'em (save Barr, and Ron Paul, of course:))

Fox news is the BEST news channel on the air (I never said it was too good:)). Fox news only looks conservative because the other networks are so liberal. In fact, fox news is the most central news network. Look at O'Reilly, he'll bash anyone regardless of party if he thinks that they are wrong, and even if one doesn't agree with him, you have to respect him for that.
Face it, nobody in Washington *really* support campaign finance reform, Washington looks out for Washinging and everything they do is to preserve Washington. There are two representitives that I can think of who I think are actally good (used to be 3 until Traficant became a wuss): Ron Paul, and Bob Barr.

I installed Solaris 7 intel for fun once, and remember how much more difficult it was to use than linux or FreeBSD. To find out how to set it up, I had to dig through the init scripts. That, and the fact that I was stuck w/out X and a decent shell until I got the 'net working made me uninstall it. Though, I have downloaded Solaris 8, and I hear it supports my video card out of the box, so I might give it another try.

The reason why they use their own toolkit, is because Mozilla runs on a boatload of platforms, and it has a consistant L&F (look and feel) on all platforms. If you're able to, you should upgrade to X4.0.2 because it's a HUGE speed improvement over 3.x (at least on my machine).

A feature that I just found out about on Mozilla that I really like is that if someone posts a URL and you select it with the mouse, and middle click, it opens that URL in the current window so you don't have to copy and paste it into the URL text entry widget.

That is the fault of the package managers, I have gnome installed in/usr/local/gnome, and kde installed in/usr/local/kde. I don't know about KDE, but the RPMS might be relocatable too.
For this release, I'm just gonna rm -rf/usr/local/gnome and install the new version:)

Maybe it exists in the software world because software A) can be copied easily, and B) software is useful whereas the work of an artist is not.
Sure, art looks good, and provides entertainment, but it isn't useful in the ways that software is (such as what we're doing right now, with webbrowsers and servers).

That would be perfectly feasable.... It would still allow colors, lists, tables, etc, but not images and other things that can open up holes. Or maybe if the image is included as an attachment it would display it (I don't know if there is a security risk of displaying an image that is on your box as an attachment.)

I don't see what's the point discussing about the look, if there are other more interesting things to discuss.
They're discussing the look because the new look looks much better than the old look. Oh, and the ``feel'' should be better too:)
I see the next innovation will be the task bar in diagonal instead of the oldfashioned horizontal or vertical one.
Huh? What is so innovative about a diagonal task bar? I suppose if you don't care whether the innovation is useful, then you would consider a diagonal task bar innovative as no one else has done it. There is a reason why task bars and panels are horizontal and vertical: because that's what people like it (the way we read, etc. How many devices do you own that have a diagonal interface?), and they're at the edge of the screen so that they don't interfere with everything else that one is working on.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, so would you please clarify what you mean by diagonal task bar?
Also, understand that GNOME/Ximian, KDE serve to make programmers' lives easier, and therefore applications better, not just to be innovative with menu items being made invisible if you don't use them often enough (an MS ``innovation'').:)
In closing: right now KDE/GNOME don't have much room to innovate with that stuff as they appear to be building a strong foundation first. Understand that the MacOS and Windows OS have been around longer than either of these two products, and were worked on full time during the whole duration of their existance, so you're naturally going to see more innovation from them whilst GNOME is building itself to that point.
