That's great that you will give them money when you can, but we aren't talking about a donation thing here. We're talking about a product which gives you two options of use: buy it, or use the free version with ad banners. If you choose the free version and disable the ads, then you are stealing.
I haven't downloaded the product, so I haven't verified the license agreement, but I'd imagine that they have wording in there regarding disabling the ad banners.
Just because you use a freely downloadable operating system doesn't mean that you have the right to take a commercial product and disable their ad banners from within the product. If you don't like the banners, go use one of the other alternatives.
Not a bad idea. I already have a few webcams installed over sorority house across the street, and a small server broadcasting those images into my place, so why not let it be my porn server too!
Why post a story on Slashdot whose link is to a Dynamic DNS-served site? This person is not likely to have the bandwidth available on his home server (cable? low-speed DSL?) to come close to dealing with the Slashdot effect.
Let's please consider these things before a story is posted. I'm sure that there are good stories in the que that could have handled a/. effect better than someone running a home server over broadband.
If I woke up this morning and found out that my computer had been speaking with Microsoft in the middle of the night, I'd format the damned thing. That kind of stuff shouldn't be tolerated.

" I mean, ok, very cool...linux on my xbox. But what, exactly, does this do for me, besides letting me put a finger in M$'s eye?"
Hell, that's almost enough for me to go buy an XBox on the used market. Just to have an XBox running X...[evil laugh]
Imagine? I've got one, baby!
It's shagadelic!
Was sex a disappointment for you the first time, too? ;)

If you like the product, why don't you just PAY for the thing, instead of defeating their ad banners? Really.
Straight from the posting:
"From the Press Release: 'Opera Software today released Opera 7.10 for Windows and Opera 7.10 for Linux Beta [emphasis mine]...'"
I can forgive you for not following the links in the posting (it's vogue around here), but try to at least read the posting ITSELF...

The Mac folks say the same thing, if only to make themselves feel better about getting games 2 years after the PC folks do.
I wonder if they'll change their name to iHole.

Sounds like a good Intel advertising campaign against AMD.
"If you buy an AMD computer, not only might it go up in flames, it can also cost you a mint in Microsoft licensing fees on a product you cannot use!"
In Redmond, Washington, software owns YOU!
*shudder*
Ewwww! You read the ARTICLE? How could you possibly have a traditional /. kneejerk response after reading the article?
Cmon, we have a tradition to uphold here. Say it with me now:
Damn that Intel! Yay AMD! Yay Cyrix! Yay Via!
I'll just have to steal cars now.

This story reminded me of the slug-killing robot that runs off of decomposing slug corpses. Gross, yet cool.
It's April 1st. I wonder if Taco's gonna do anything out of the ordinary today for April Fool's Day?
Taking money from gambling sites? The terrorists HAVE already won, but that's only because they bet on red.
Did I really need a visual of CPAs mimicking the Riverdance folks? I don't think I did.
Sounds cool. Can I just download an ISO of the DVD instead?
Not forever. Just until June 30, 2003 like they said that they would.
If you would have followed the story link you would have seen it say, specifically, "NTFS partition resizing" under Technical Improvements.
I'm heading to my local patent office to patent my right to not buy Intel processors.
What if Goatse Man joined the clergy?
Oh wait, that didn't work.
