Any work created on or before December 31, 1922 (such as the original Hebrew/Aramaic/Greek source of the Bible or the authorized 1611 English translation thereof commissioned by King James), is public domain. Any work created on or after January 1, 1923, is effectively under perpetual copyright in the United States thanks to Congress's "creative" use of a loophole in the Constitution.
Three words for this: image map navigation. w3m does admirably on *some* of them, but not all.
And the ones it doesn't work on aren't valid HTML either, as HTML requires alt tags wherever there's an image. HTML also recommends a "longdesc" link, which could be used to create a textual version of the image map.
To put it another way: It's the page designer's fault for creating overly complex pages.
The target system does not require all code to be signed; It's an option
...that IT managers can turn on and refuse to turn off "for security purposes."
However, [requiring a unique signature for every developer] isn't any more relevant to the free software community than it is to the closed-source community.
Except most closed-source coders code within the scope of their employment, and employers can afford to provide such signatures, while Joe Free Software Hacker can't.
Does Microsoft still sell MS-DOS? No. For desktop systems, Microsoft is pushing Windows 2000 Professional Bloatware Edition. For embedded systems, Microsoft is pushing Windows CE. You can still, however, get a DOS-compatible operating system from other publishers. For example, GPL'd FreeDOS is very popular among comp.os.msdos.programmer regulars.
Maybe on install of the OS you can pick "Beginner, moderate, Advanced". Once you feel confortable with the OS in beginner mode you can then install the "moderate" version.
Microsoft will soon be selling Windows Whistler Personal, Windows Whistler Professional, Windows Whistler Server, and Windows Whistler Advanced Server. (The marketing department reserves the right to search and replace "Whistler" with something else.)
5. you still MUST use the command line at least once to setup the default install or ot lauch a useful service
And the bash command line is bad how? It's just another way to get things done. You try expressing a grep piped into sed piped into... with a GUI. Plus, bash is infinitely better than Windows's command interpreter.
What they show you is that a program has an author and that author is registered with VeriSign.
Registering with VeriSign, the Authenticode certificate monopoly holder, currently costs USD $400. Most individual free software developers cannot afford to create apps that will run on systems whose policy has been set to run only signed code. (This is why there are no Free drivers for Win2K devices.)
sign the [compiled Apache] executable with a digital signature that has been assigned to them by VeriSign.
But it's different for GPL programs. The GNU GPL requires that all the tools necessary to rebuild the application be distributed and redistributable (except for compilers and other parts of the OS). This would include a private key, if the target system is one that requires all code to be signed. And VeriSign's monopoly on giving out Authenticode keys means that anyone who wants to build the application must pony up USD $400.
Then why did you pay your hard-earned precious money for a modem that was designed to work exclusively with Microsoft® brand Windows® brand systems and not with Debian GNU/Linux® systems?
Also..solitare and minesweeper don't seem to work.
What problems did you have getting XFree86, GNOME, and GNOME Mines to work? These are the kinds of questions you might want to ask at debianHELP.org.
Chances are, this version of BASIC will make QBASIC look like a programmer's wet dream.
More can be done with [Basic] than you think. I was able to do write a complete TUI-based gambling simulation suite for Apple II (called place.your.bets) using only [Applesoft BASIC] and two [6502] assembly subroutines.
Still, at least they didn't try and release Perl on it. Then nobody would have been able to program the damn thing...
I would have thought that a true "DPI-on-the-fly" system would have needed something like Display Postscript - surely we're just talking plain ol' resolution changing here?
"DPI-on-the-Fly" was Radius's trademark for its resolution changing and desktop resizing system extension. The Mac's virtual DPI setting is frozen at 72.
Well, for a start you're introducing an irrelevant XFree issue into a Linux discussion
Topical? Yes. Read the blurb at the top: Linux [the OS, as well as the kernel]
on-the-fly resolution changes without having to restart the OS. Note that I've no idea if Windows 2000 or ME can do this.
There have been "DPI on the fly" system extensions in Mac OS since about 1992, and it's been a standard part of the system since at least 1995. It's also part of Windows 98. (This just shows how the Mac clone known as Microsoft Windows lags behind the real thing.)
Suppose I set up a CGI script at my personal homepage that I feed it an url, and then the script goes out and fetches the page, and makes it appear that it and all associated images came from my ISP?
You'd be providing an anonymizer service (especially if you used https), and you'd be the first to be banned.
Often, several web sites are hosted off one IP in "name-based virtual hosting." IP-based virtual hosting is not an option, as the powers that be are not giving out IPs for that anymore.

The Bible II would only start a global fringe cult at best!!
As an anonymous coward commented above, this "global fringe cult" is called the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

The storage and distribution of MP3 format files via the Company network is prohibited.
It looks like the ISP has more of a beef with Fraunhofer and Thomson, the owners of the MP3 patents rather than with the RIAA. In this case, the workaround is to use the free(speech) OggVorbis format.

[The Gopher protocol is] a hell of a lot more simple than HTTP and other protocols of the same line.
Basic HTTP is really simple: "GET /index.html\r\n" and the entire response is the page.
without having to wait for 500000000M of images to load
Then turn off image loading, or use a character-cell browser such as lynx, links, or w3m.

BSD is NOT open source. it doesn not meet the open-source license critera as designed by bruce perins.
But the BSD License, version 2.0, does meet Eric S. Raymond's Open Source Definition (the Debian free software guidelines are nearly identical) as well as being a non-copyle ft GPL-compatible free software license according to Richard M. "Goat ScanDisker" Stallman
(Yes, the name of the god of the Eloi is Butcher.)It would be really hard to make graphical objects in BASIC.
How do you know there won't be BLIT[?] statements in the interpreter?

There's no reason an OS in the year 2000 shouldn't be able to dynamically allocate memory to an application as needed.
