I am sure there was some sort of TOS agreed to that it was for free and no guarantees were going to be made to it's availability, backups of data were the users responsibility, etc.
Agreed, although it would be more polite to notify them. After all, it takes virtually no effort on AOL's part.
Things you can't do with the new legislation include...looking up porn on the internet.
What moral standard are they claiming compels them to make this restriction?
I don't get the impression that Hinduism is very strict regarding one's sexual conduct.
but does that translate into more contributions to FOSS projects?
Probably not directly, but like you said: An increased userbase is a good thing.
If Linux were to gain a non-negligible market share, software will be ported to it, drivers will be written for it, and MS's formats will no longer be de facto standards.
Hint: Cache your updates into a local mini-repo, point nearly all machines to that repo.
That should alleviate your bandwidth issues, unless you mean LAN bandwidth.
Women would love to have a metabolism like mine. Keeps me rail-thin, but at the cost of radiating heat faster than sweaters/jackets/coats can let it out.
Body hair (or more accurately, extremities hair. On my arms, it begins where the tshirt ends)
It's fun to observe people bundled under three layers of thick clothing and shivering.
It's a pleasant 43 degrees outside right now.
I am indoors most of the time, where extra clothing is even more uncomfortable.
I don't have space for clothing I am going to wear for only half a year at the most.
There is no such thing as "cold". Just an absence of heat.
I found this great technique for keeping yourself warm, called exercise.
I do have a weakness to wind, which goes right through me (and anything I try wearing to block it, so why bother?)
Slashdot Mirror
About 3.5 more weeks.
Of the 7 "victories" listed, 3 involve Nokia:
Their opening up of Symbian
Their purchase of Trolltech
And the unveiling of Maemo 5
Yay.
One of my instructors finally disposed of his DOS disks last semester. I think the oldest was DOS 2.
32bit or 64bit is essentially meaningless...
Unless you have more than 3.5 GB of RAM
I agree. Nobody is selling 32-bit processors anymore.
Linux can handle 32-bit applications on 64-bit OSes. Surely MS can do the same?
Take results with a grain of salt. He ranks Vista as better than XP on the AMD machine and as nearly equal on the Pentium machine.
Of course, the AMD machine has 4 GB of RAM and the Pentium machine has 1 GB, so that could have something to do with it.
This is AOL we are talking about here. A month is barely enough time to recover the text of the website, much less the images.
If those state the owner of the free service can take the site down with no advance warning and without providing access to the data, they can do so.
I doubt AOL's lawyers would allow them to offer such a service without those conditions.

Microwaves do not lock up because of leap year issues.

Does Sun's ODF plugin have the same layout issues?

In any event, *nix admins have less chance to steal secrets than their Windows counterparts.
Do you mean in general, or just at the workplaces you describe?
It's called retirement. Unfortunately, when he starts working again he'll have to continue working for the rest of his life.
They are saying Open Source will gain marketshare, so it must be the YEAR OF BSD ON THE DESKTOP.
My company is ... using Lotus Symphony...
no risk of losing access to your data.
Does not compute
(I kid, I kid)
Then there would be just as much damage as in a regular car.
I bet that thing is a lot of fun in a demolition derby.
It came from Microsoft. Duh. Now nuke it already.
I'm sure Mozilla is capable of making its own 'ActiveX', but I guess they'd be sued as we are talking essentially American businesses.
More important is the fact that ActiveX is a BAD IDEA.
Last time it broke that barrier, it was going in the other direction
Linux 0.85%
iPhone 0.44%
There are nearly twice as many Linux users as iPhone users? Cool! Those things are rather common.
