If it is really about marketing, why not make a tinyurl and link the tinyurl, and then have jonesday go after tinyurl? Even better, use a url-compressor site that is out of the country, thus out of reach for joneday to sue as well?
Not all Ubuntu users are idiots when it comes to Linux. Someone had to create the distribution and someone has to maintain it. I use Ubuntu after years with Gentoo for the pure ease of how things work. And it's got a great community to help others ease into it. It's counter-productive to bash Ubuntu users. Really.
About it being the only compatible free license, this is, unfortunately, very true. It's the only reason why I don't like using it. I don't think it's right to suck up code. Then again, recycling code... Gah, I don't know. BSD license makes me feel all conflicted inside!
The sad thing (apart from hey! I go to the University of Kentucky!) is that I do this to people all the time. Even down to google maps of their houses >.>
Yea, my ASUS g1sn has a BIOS bug that ASUS won't be fixing in the forseeable future, where it maps memory addresses wrong so if I get all 4GB of RAM in here, I can't install my nVidia drivers in Linux (it works in Windows, but Linux trusts the computer more).
Really makes you wish hardware manufacturers would step it up.
It's not that bad. I like to hang out in there and help out with problems. It seems to me a lot of problems are kernel/video interfacing really. Just if those n00bs would learn tab completions and addressing people by name when replying.
I accompanied my brother to the unemployment office multiple times before he just went online. Eventually it went though, but they're like waaayyyyyy backed up and the paperwork took at least two weeks longer than usual. Sign of the times.
I had a presentation in one of my classes today where an exec from the local IBM outpost was talking about that very thing, claiming the switch Big Blue made in the 90's to selling a solution is the only reason it's still around today.
I've been running Intrepid for a while... There are some things (such as the lack of a patch for ASUS laptops with >3GB RAM + NVIDIA cards) I'm missing...
But otherwise, the Darkroom theme is pretty nice (I actually ditched my custom theme for it), and I love the new Network Manager.
I think it's a nice step forward. Plugdev seems to be a little buggy, as the Anonymous Coward stated, but that's not necessarily an Ubuntu problem (nor is that patch in the kernel...).
But Intrepid is a nice release already.
Well, I think the real question here is how long till it forks?
And which one to choose, there are so many! Would it be possible to try each fork on my family first in a sort of LiveGOV program instead of committing to one particular fork of the government?

I understand completely then. Sometimes I find Excel gives me non-trivial rounding errors too.

What, no WOPR tag?
I could see the consumer protection factor involved (i.e. preventing some MPAA official from spying in) were the content illegal. But seriously, wtf?

Heaven forbid we use the GPL. Let's go for the BSD license! It's worse!
Go Microsoft, you're finally growing up!

Slashdot, you are letting me down!
This just up and slashdotted already?

it's not April Fools day...
What if their blogs are hosted outside of Vietnam? Say, a webserver in Sweden or something?
Can't they still just use IRC or something?
Why do you think I bought my eeepc?

Creepy stuff.
But what if I want to play Crysis on my EeePC during that boring office meeting!?
...Nevermind *doh*
I try to install it, and all I get is a segfault.
But 64K should be enough for anybody... :(
That doesn't make sense... To resize a partition it needs to be unmounted... Are you sure you're doing it right?

Just use Lynx.
