Well, you could give it a nice icon menu, tooltips, etc. It could also inherit things like background colour from the window manager. KEmacs would be sweet.
"It's different because a copy of the original title was made at some point."
So if I own a CD, I make an MP3 copy of it for myself at home (perfectly legal), load the MP3 onto an MP3 player, bring it in to work, and then upload the MP3 onto a server so that I can listen to it more easily at work, have I broken the law ? If so, how ?
I just this week installed Mandrake 8.2 on my machine. If linux on the desktop is toast, then it's nicely browned toast with lots of butter and strawberry jam:-)
the particular case in question was the requirement that we remove the SQUID proxy server
If you were just *using* Squid, there would obviously have been no need to GPL any other code.
Presumably, the fact that you were forced to get rid of it, means that you were in some way using the code from squid and building a derivative product from it. Your company should have realised that when they took the squid code and started developing it. If they didn't, then they clearly did not understand the GPL. If they'd wanted to avoid this, they could have simply written their own proxy from scratch, and released it under whatever licence they wanted.
Scrap TV parts were a little scarse in the time of Aristotle and Ptolemy, because NO ONE watched daytime TV
Well, what do you expect - there was only one programme, and it was some chat show host called Socrates asking people to define the meaning of commonly used words.
Unfortunately for you, the US is slowly becoming a communist country, without anybody noticing.
Under communism, private ownership of property is prohibited, replaced with state ownership of everything.
This is why you no longer own the DVD's you buy (they are owned instead by the 'State' film conglomerate) or the copy-protected CD's you buy (owned by the 'State' music conglomerate). Soon you will no longer own your own PC.
It will not be long before the concept of private ownership (being able to buy something, and do whatever you like with it provided it harms nobody) is totally forgotten in the US. Chairman Mao would have been proud.
MS employee: excuse me Mr Sony exhibitor, you aren't allowed to let customers play on your Playstations, you will have to pack 'em all up and take them away !
Sony employee: ah Mr Microsoft exhibitor, allow me to introduce our latest model bipedal *hunter-killer* robot, fresh from our development labs...
Robot: is there a problem here ?
MS employee: erm, on second thoughts, just carry on as you were...
Slashdot Mirror
OK, then all we have to do is persuade these new broadband users to download Linux ;-)
There's not much source even there, only bits of kde.
Hmmm...have you reported it as a bug...try bugzilla.mozilla.org :-)
I wonder what the 'other' category is for web browsers ? Could the recent upswing be due to Mozilla ?
I haven't seen that for several months with Mozilla.
/usr/bin/mozilla (Build 2002040108)
Used memory size: 28002K
That joke isn't funny any more.
Damn it, are we going to have to ask a page at a time ?

'Civilised' is spelt perfectly correctly. It's only you 'uncivilized' Americans who spell it wrong.
Is the new one out yet ? I've been looking to find it everywhere, without any success.
Before Tru64 was born, Alpha's and VAXen used to run Digital Unix, created by DEC.
No, obviously we'll have to wait for KDE-XP for that.
Just make sure you're not in the 'B' Ark...
Yes, and for double security, ROT26 it.

Yeah, it's 300MHz, but it's 128 bit. If it's done right it should be at least as fast as a 1.2GHz 32 bit machine.

Why, for downloading pr0n and playing quake of course !

Creating Billions of Dollars Through Punishing Americans
Result: no new movies, the MPAA goes bust, and then we can repeal the bill unopposed.
