No, they're fighting the French in both countries.
Personally, I think they should just keep it off of their French site (which they already took it off, although they said it wasn't because of the French court), and the French shouldn't try to enforce it on their main, US, site.
E's window buttons are changed by the theme. So that's not E itself (although maybe it's default theme).
What do you mean by Gnome integration? It was Gnome's default WM for a while, and you could swap it back in without too much trouble now. E automatically imports your KDE and Gnome menus, and it doesn't keep your from running any apps from them.
For a decent C/C++ programmer, memory leaks really aren't a big deal.
For a non-decent Java programmer, memory leaks ARE a big deal. They probably just don't know that.
Java's garbage collector helps with that, but if the programmer doesn't even know that it's possible to get memory leaks in Java, it's going to get them. I assume good Java programmers do, and know how to handle them. Same with C/C++ programmers.
If the programmer knows what they're doing in the language they're using, it's not an issue.
Back when I was 13 or so, one of my friends had convinced me that trying something like this would be fun. I was a bit reluctant, but I had some knowledge of Unix and networking, and it did sound like fun.
We never actually got into anything, but the next day I got an e-mail from one of the companies we had attempted to break into, politely asking me to stop. It scared the shit out of me and I never attempted anything like that again.
And to be honest, the fact that I'd been caught and asked to stop (nicely!) impressed me far more than any of the hackers out there.
Why? Because I *HAD* to know what those lumps on my girlfriend's chest were. I just couldn't figure out what the hell they were. And one night, she showed me. And other nights, I had to see them again, because I *HAD* to study them. Something so elusive that I'd not seen them my entire life *MUST* be something worth studying. Or something.
It's not a universal bug. I've got four FC2 systems up right now, and none of them were effected.
I don't know a whole lot about it (since it didn't effect me, it mostly just passed by me), but just because your gentoo system wasn't effected, doesn't mean someone elses wasn't.
A formal education has a tendency to specialize a person enough that, while they may make great advancements in a field, they won't be general enough to be of too much note to most of the world.
Yeah, the worst are when you get a BSOD before boot up, with that small white terminal text, and then a couple of seconds later it reboots the machine. Over and over and over again. Uhg. Can't even tell what the problem is half the time.
What the hell some people are doing to get these crashes. I've been using PHP for a few years now, and I've never had it seg fault on me, and it runs pretty damned fast (but I do use a compiler). Of course, my sites are pretty small (about nine domains of with about 200 constant users, not including other viewers, on one server), so it could just be happening on the larger servers.
You just click "Cancel Account" under account options... Worked for me on my first two accounts (I've got three right now: I've been playing since Beta 3 and still love it... The author is just a freak:-P)
rpm doesn't allow you to do this. I'd like to hear an example that disproves this, because I've never encountered this problem in years of using rpm.
It's a bit too strict, really. Often times it won't allow me to install a newer version of a package without --force. I've had this issue on Redhat and SuSE.
The kernel IS the os. If you used an NT kernel, and wrapped all of the gnu tools around it, it would still be NT. Sure, you could call it GNU/NT, but it would still be NT. Its the same with Linux.
Yes yes, MS did dirty deeds and need to be punished, but why do new features (and I'm not talking about the driver blocking sort) get them in trouble? I mean, look at Mac OS X. It has so many features I'm almost ready to convert! Why do normal features even come up as an issue?
Java and ActiveX can, assuming the program has permission. You rarely run across a java app just browsing the net that will. Its a pain. If you want to see an ActiveX control that does in action, see windowsupdate.microsoft.com (assuming you're using windows).
However, most languages have no way of accesing the hard drive. Anything that would allow you to do this has to have some form of proof that they are secure, or they would never be widespread enough to be in use. And if it doesn't, its a virus (or to the effect of).
Why is it sad? Is it sad that we complain when robbed (RL; I'm not a D2 player)? They're just material possessions, what do we need them for?
We could all get together, and maybe society would be better! But I bet you'd be pissed as hell if someone stole your car. I know I would be.
No, this isn't really sad. Its just an extension of the modern society, which, IMO, is MUCH nicer that the society that we used to have. Its evolving, and, although most private organization would have you believe otherwise, its getting better. And I'm not joking. Crime has dropped, teen pregnancy has dropped (somewhat), even drug usage has dropped, which I think has a lot to do with all of the commercials being put out lately, as well as other efforts.
I rather like the human condition, to tell the truth. I'd rather be human than a dog, and I'd rather be human than a rat. I like to think that we're doing rather well.

The problem is, they already removed it from their French website, and the French courts are trying to force them to remove it from their US website.
It's a French court telling a US based company what to do in the US.
No, they're fighting the French in both countries.
Personally, I think they should just keep it off of their French site (which they already took it off, although they said it wasn't because of the French court), and the French shouldn't try to enforce it on their main, US, site.

Well, I use E daily (haven't upgraded to this version though) and installing it on my FC2 box, all I had to do was install one RPM.
Installing the new CVS stuff is a pain in the ass though. But then, it's CVS. Very nice stuff though.

My daughter was born when I was 16.

Yeah, it's always sounded more like "a boat" to me, too.

No, if it was a Democrat, I'd be saying the same damned thing.
If the people lose their voice, they'll get pissed, no matter who does it.

This Macrovision technology does NOT install spyware or vaporware of any kind on a users PC.
I'm so glad they're not installing vaporware on my machine! Phew! I was worried for a bit there.
No, it's still public. It was moved to transgaming.org because of stability issues with Sourceforge.
The CVS page links back to transgaming.com though, for the actual download instructions, and it seems to be down right now.

Yes.
Not sure. Never tried.
You don't need to. Under Windows, they're all the same program.
Yes. Windows Media Player does all that.
Yes.
Any PC running at least Win2k or higher. Not sure on Win9x machines.

With SoL, they started using a new 3D engine. Massive system requirements though.

Standard analog lines use 64k... All the time. The benefit of IP phones is that they're more efficient. Using LESS bandwidth.
