the KDE folks are (once again) thinking this through. Look for a message posted to the kde-core mailing list entitled "requiring.desktop files to be executable ?" by Alexander Neundorf.
The security benefit is that the routing mechanism is invisible to the end user.
Isn't this already a feature of an IP network? (Especially one that ignores a client's source routing demands?)
With the network being aware of the actual connections...
This may be useful. How does this make it easier to provide QoS? Are you saying that network operators can set policies across disparate networks? (Pardon me, I'm a networking noob.)
...the consequences will, in my opinion, be quite harmful for the broader acceptance of Linux....
Generally, in cases like these, the distro maintainers will do one of two things: 1) Get together and purchase a license for the technology in question that covers their downstream recipients. 2) Provide a means for each downstream recipient to purchase a license for their individual use.
If there is *really* a demand for license or patent encumbered technology in a Linux distro, *someone* will provide the way. Look at what Fluendo is doing.:D
Open a PDF, reduce the size of the window, all you get is the top left corner.

All kidding aside, was generating a new format entirely necessary? What about good 'ole HTML + CSS? (Or is ePub XML that gets transformed into HTML and CSS?)
No. This is a shitty, shitty "covenant" (it only covers Moonlight 1.x ferinstance). It doesn't need folks making up stuff about it... it's terribleness can stand on its own. Go back and re-read this, then consider the definition of "Intermediate Recipients":
"Intermediate Recipients" means resellers, recipients, and distributors to the extent they are authorized (directly or indirectly) by Novell or its Subsidiaries to resell, license, supply, distribute or otherwise make available Moonlight Implementations (whether the resale, licensing, supplying, making available, or distribution is on a stand-alone basis, or on an OEM basis as bundled with hardware or other software of the reseller or distributor, or otherwise, so long as it is not bundled with a Linux operating system other than Novell-branded operating system software), except for resellers, recipients, or distributors who are in the business of offering their own branded operating system software.
Drawing in the margins, I haven't really seen, though I'm sure it's been done. Highlighters? Just copy/paste an interesting passage into your notes.
Okular does highlighting, inline notes, and drawing in the margins. If you use Windows, look here http://windows.kde.org/ to try it out. If you use Linux, you'll have to install a chunk of KDE 4.1 or 4.2.
Okular allows you to scribble in, highlight sections in documents, and add bookmarks and notes. 'Fraid that it doesn't make your computer waterproof, though.
That's not exactly what that sez. All distro packagers who are in the business of doing distros, and people who use code that only originated from Novell have been "promised" that they won't get sued.
You should see what has happened recently with XRandR 1.2. There's a teeny bit of mucking around required to setup a multiscreen config, but everything's been condensed into a single commandline tool called xrandr. You could (if you like) dump a script in your autostart directory that uses xrandr to setup a multiscreen configuration when you log in.
[Yes, there *should* be graphical tools to make this happen. IDK why they have not surfaced.]
Hio. I'm running a 1.5.3 xorg server under KDE 4.2. When I disable Desktop Effects, FF 3.0.6 is very snappy, even with 100, 150 tabs open (spread over three windows). When I enable Desktop Effects, new windows take a little while (.5->1 second) to draw. Tab switching is instantaneous, though.

Team Fortress predates Halo by five years. TF1 had a one-button grenade and limited weapons. :D
Also, (IMO) Unreal Tournament (1999)'s AI was far better than the enemy AI in Halo.
Hell, a promise was enough for Novell.
You probably can't convince a security guard that you are me by pasting a photo of me to your forhead.
Well, if it works against the Blu team....

Bah. Ignore that "feature of an IP network" comment. I didn't read closely enough.
However, how could it possibly be a security issue to know the details of your routing path?

Anyway. Thanks for the info!
That assumes, of course, that they *PAID* for it.

Why CHM over hyperlinked PDF?

Heh. That sounds suspiciously like the story behind *my* conversion to Gentoo!
