Mutopia's music is exclusively in LilyPond format, which basically means that not only can you print out the music, you can convert it to midi, transpose it to a different key (if you played a different instrument with a different range, for example) with not much difficulty, and even jam it up a bit.
IMSLP's music is not necessarily in LilyPond format, so if you wanted to edit it, you'd have to re-input it into a music notation program manually first. (Or possibly OCR it, but that would be pretty shoddy.)
Well, the XO-1 is alreadycapable of running Ubuntu with a GNOME desktop.
Next up, you could load it up with, say, Ubuntu Netbook Remix (I'm guessing that would be a bit choppy as the XO-1 doesn't have OpenGL acceleration), or Ubuntu Mobile Edition, and you have a nice mini interface that's perfect for its small screen.
It's open source. Is there a licensing issue that keeps this from becoming popular on various distros?
Apparently, there is. See the Ubuntu wiki page for ReplacementInit. In it, they listed launchd as a possible candidate for a replacement init, but decided against it due to "inescapable licence problems".
It's licensed under the Apache license -- I can't see what is wrong with that, but I can't imagine that Canonical would spend $$$ developing their own init system if it wasn't a big hurdle to use launchd.
Actually, I doubt he will need to unsolder the chip from the board. The proprietary component which I imagine Stallman is referring to is the firmware (which is a binary blob), located in/lib/firmwire on the XO's operating system. rm'ing this firmware will have the same effect as disabling the wireless.
They haven't been removed. They're just disabled by default, and it's a little tricky to enable them.
Fire up Urban Terror. While in the menu, hit the console key (~), then do "bot_enable 1". Start a server with your favourite map (ut4_abbey of course), and do "bot_minplayers 8".
You can only do that immediately after starting the game. If you play a map, quit, then _afterwards_ do "bot_enable 1", it won't work.
"Standards mode" is a browser rendering mode which first appeared in Internet Explorer 6, as a way for Microsoft to get around the Catch-22 of fixing their browser to be more standards compliant, and not breaking so many websites at the same time.
"Standards mode" is triggered by the presence of a proper DOCTYPE, like one of the ones here.
"Quirks mode" is a rendering mode triggered by the lack of the DOCTYPE, which causes the browser to emulate many of the bugs that, if fixed, would break lots of sites.
All the major browsers implement standards/quirks mode these days. Internet Explorer 7/8's quirks mode rendering has not changed since IE6, which means, if your non-standards-compliant site worked in IE6, and doesn't use a DOCTYPE, it's not going to further break in IE7/8.

A workaround for this is to run Flash inside nspluginwrapper, even if you're on a 32-bit system.
This way, when Flash crashes, it won't bring down the whole browser with it, and all you have to do it reload the page.
This bug is on Ubuntu's bugtracker.
Stealing the intellectual property of these crackers that they so rightfully deserve -- how could Ubisoft do such a thing?
On a serious note, is Ubisoft actually legally allowed to distribute these cracked executables, because they are of their own product?
Mind, I don't get why, because they would have the original source code anyway.
Correct.

What a stupid git he was, then.
