That's fine, but since the article has no interest to me at all, I didn't read it...
The bit you quoted said likely. I don't have ESP and hence can't know that you were talking about something other than the <blockquote>ed section of your post.
Buy a dictionary and look up the word "likely". You'll see it can mean "probably". Hence (assuming your quote is correct) they *did* say that "Rosen probably would agree", since "Rosen would likely agree" means the same thing.
9 out of 10 movies are going to suck. 5 of those 9 will actually make a profit, despite that.
If 9 out of 10 movies suck, then obviously 4 must.
Maybe if you read the next sentence "The other 6 are just going to suck less." you'd see that the point you so ineptly made was already made in the original post. "Suck less" does not mean the same as "do not suck", just as "pay less" does not mean "no cost".
For modern bloated software compile times are influenced by disk speed as well as CPU speed. Disk speed does not double every 18 months.
Also every 18 months software bloats some more, slowing down compile times again.
And I don't buy a new CPU every 18 months, in fact I the newest CPU in my home machines is 5 years old.
Compiling everything myself would inconveniance my way of using linux machines, especially fresh installs.
Essentially I install the base debian system, dist-upgrade to unstable, install X, and then use the system. For the fist week or so I do "sudo apt-get install foo" often as I discover a package I want but don't have yet (well the first time I try that I do "apt-get install sudo" as root after it fails, of course).
Just in time installation is wonderful, the system isn't too bloated by lots of software I don't use. My style of system installation won't work well with gentoo because installation of a package will take more than 10 seconds, and source downloads are significantly bigger than binary downloads slowing it further (of course my method is only useful for desktop machines too).
WIth 5 year old machine, you may wonder just how often I do a fresh install, and the answer is not often at home, but at uni it seems to be a frequent task.
I write perl and C++ code, obviously squeezing that extra bit of speed out of the hardware just isn't a priotity to me:)
For people for whom it is, obviously gentoo can make a faster machine that a one-size-fits-many binary distribution.
The ruling doesn't make owning mod chips illegal, it makes selling them illegal.
Of course in this specific case they guy was selling copied games as well as mod chips. If he would have just sold mod chips and not sold the obviously illegal games things might have turned out different. The circumstances show his intent.
Of course with the Australian legal system he now gets to pay Sony's costs (and QCs don't come cheap). And of course then there's damages, but that comes later (and of course there's still room for appeal to the High Court - but losing there would further increase costs).
Oh well, I'll have to stick to PC games and skip on the PS2...
But of course not that you shouldn't correct people based upon your assumptions after using a command a couple of times without bothering with the man page.
No, but you can stick a piece of paper with that written on it in your window such that when you look at the sign through the window you see your note instead.
I'm going by what the FSF have stated is their interpretation. Which of course isn't binding in this case since they aren't the copyright holders let alone a court, but it seems good enough for me...
This one in particular: kernel-source-2.4.19.SuSE-82.nosrc.rpm contains a file called patches.i386.tar.bz2 which in turn contains a file called 8975_NUMAQ.
That seems to be a kernel patch dealing with something related to NUMA, and contains GPL references.
Isn't NUMA one of the things, SCO has specifically mentioned as being part of the IP at issue?
Only if they used the written offer option, as opposed to providing the source with the original binaries (and providing it for download at the time of downloading the binaries is good enough I seem to recall - ie. having linux-binaries.tgz and linux-source.tgz as two seperate downloads side by side is the same is if they were in one download (but saves those who don't want the source the bandwidth)).
They put up with spending hours working out something in Word, because at the beginning they could produce a simple document and print it within 5 minutes.
Hence they became users of the software.
There's also the point that they often have no choice (due to work) or don't know they have a choice.
If someone downloaded the software off the internet they know they have a choice:)
Well even if they wanted to it's hard to point a telescope (whether it is radio or not) at something which is currently on the other side of the Earth.
5. Configure the first machine to use the second host as the default gateway (through this new ppp network device), and configure the second machine to do NAT for the first one.
There you go, you have unrestricted access to the internet through the most firewalled network in the world, and through a proxy;).
Except that NAT doesn't give you "urestricted access".

With the garbage that gets a software patent there is certainly IP from microsoft in Linux.
Then again, there's cetainly IP from microsoft in first year programming assignments, "Hello world" probably violates microsoft's IP by now.
Obviously that is already provided here:
http://www.budget.gov.au/
and here:

I mean, honestly, who doesn't know that governments produce "Budgets" ?!?!?
Two.
Which is the point.
You can't say plan9 is a "new advance" (well I guess it's not that old, but "new" in computing has a different meaning than say in chemistry).
You could say that plan9 has seen some "new advances" in recent years, but that isn't what was said.
Has plan9 seen anything "new" in recent years? Things like the plumber came across from inferno, so I wouldn't class them as a "plan9 advance".
We had plan9 machines here 10 years ago...
I don't think any exist anymore, in fact I don't even think the inferno install works anymore.
But anyway, it isn't a "new advance" anymore.
But of course not that you shouldn't correct people based upon your assumptions after using a command a couple of times without bothering with the man page.
But of course that's half the fun.
No, but you can stick a piece of paper with that written on it in your window such that when you look at the sign through the window you see your note instead.
Maybe they are paying a 25c for a free (as in unobstructed, clear, or empty of other people) room.
The term "joke" is also pretty old.

d ates/SRPMS are four files that claim to be "kernel-source" but strangely contain the string "nosrc" as well.

Someone better tell the taco bell around the damn corner that it doesn't exist.
Plagiarism is more general than just what is covered by copyright.
It is plagiarism to present someone elses work as your own, even if that work is in the public domain.
Plagiarism isn't illegal, it is unethical in some cases, such as journalism and academia, but that doesn't make it illegal.
The game developers could disable the commands for looking around and for moving.

Day and night time has nothing to do with stars being on the wrong side of the Earth.
A radio telescope can't see though a planet sized lump of rock.
