Since they own the codebase, they can do whatever they want with it. And since nobody have been submitting GPL code, they pretty much own all of it. GPL'ing software doesn't mean you give up your copyright.
They have a pretty weird definition of science fiction. I mean, The Man from U.N.C.L.E.? Mystery Science Theater 3000? Tales from the Crypt? Avengers? Batman? Buffy? Why not Friends while you're at it? I mean, a New York without any colored people?
Copy it to a new format. That is the real beauty of digital. Since it can be perfectly duplicated easily and quickly it's no problem to move it to a newer format.
Don't worry. The movie and recording industries are working hard to make this next to impossible. All for your pleasure.
I'm personally waiting for Nokia N91 to arrive instead of buying the Nano. 6Gb of space, discoverable as USB storage (so it should work on Linux), and I already carry my phone everywhere anyways... A little bigger than Nano, but...
Because backward/forward button is not enough. I might want to be able to bookmark where I'm at. Be able to write on the margins, highlight passages, do a fuzzy quicksearch, be able to read whether it's bright or dark outside.
One thing that is always usefull to keep in mind is that it was the Japanese that attacked the U.S. What in the hell were they thinking?
They believed that by taking out the US Pacific fleet, they had about a year to fortify the resources they needed to conqueror most of Asia.
For some reason, most Americans think the Pacific War started with Pearl Harbor. Instead, they really should look at the political situation after WWI. Doesn't excuse the Japanese or justify what they did, but it does make it understandable.
People who doesn't want to hear it can turn the radio off or they can listen to another channel. It's not like Howard Stern has a monopoly on the airwaves during the time he broadcasts.
If we are going to limit the freedom of speech to mean speech that doesn't offend, then we don't really have a freedom of speech (I bet a white supremacists would find someone saying that all people, no matter the colour of their skin, equal, offensive and vulgar... should we limit that kind of speech to?)
And who decides what is the right place to say whatever?

And yet, the British seem to have captured many people involved in 7/7 and the subsequent bombings.
From what I understand, none of the people involved with the 7/7 bombings have been arrested. All the people arrested so far, were from the failed 7/21 bombings. The two groups of bombers weren't connected (as in different isolated cells), as far as the intelligent services could tell.
Isn't there a difference between editing a review, and rejecting a review? Maybe I didn't RTFA close enough, but I didn't read anything about editing any of the reviews.
Rereading it, I wonder if the businesses aren't so much complaining about not able to hire the "top" 500, but that they have to actually pay the engineers top dollars to even consider working for them. They rather have researchers for cheap, and it would be much easier if there weren't other companies out there paying top dollars.
If Google and Yahoo are doing the leading-edge research, and these top brains want to do this kind of research, and these companies are paying them top-dollars to do it, what's the problem? The article does mention that research at other companies are restricted (MS doesn't want researchers doing stuff that might impact their OS/Office sales, HP is doing less R&D)
If Google and Yahoo can attract the nerds, and you can't, that's your problem, isn't it?
Usually, Alan Moore, who wrote the graphic novels, doesn't comment on the quality of the movies that are made based on his stories. This is the first movie he actually slammed, and the reason we won't see any more Hollywood movies based on his stories (nor will he work with DC Comics again)
say "here come the warm jets" by brian eno, and be able to pull up a short bio on mr. eno, his complete discography, the lyrics to the current song, a list of reviews of the album and artist and the cover art for the album... all without having to fire up my web browser and performing a bunch of search-n-clicks.
Amarok already do much of this. When I listen to an album, you will see the albumart, you can read the lyrics, other albums by that artist on your system. About the only thing that is missing is the reviews and discography....
I would think this new Wikipedia extension would be implemented as a KIOSlave. So it wouldn't matter which KDE group implemented it, all KDE programs would have access to the functionality.
Do most developers care about the hardware architecture they run on as opposed to the OS platform? Unless you write a compiler or OS, don't you usually stop at the OS level?

If you can not comply with the requirements of the GPL, you can not distribute it. Thus if some law that applies to you does not allow you to fufil your requirements under the GPL, you can't use it.
There is a difference between use and distribute. GPL put no limitation on use.

Well, that's OK. 2004 Peace prize went to the an environmentalist who thinks AIDS is a bio-weapon created by bad western white scientists.
I don't think this device is competing against Treo 650. If you want a competitor to the Treo, you have to look at something like the 9300

There's one big difference b etween the GPL and scoialism, whereas the GPL is freely available to choose to use or choose not to use
Not if it's up the FSF. If you read some of their stuff, they pretty much says everybody should be forced to GPL their code.
Actually, Sweden is one of the countries that has implemented EU's InfoSec directive. InfoSec is basically EU's version of DMCA.
