Adobe got Sklyarov arrested - they are in good with the Feds.
GIMP on the other hand, is open source which is sometimes considered to be terrorist, piracy, etc, by clueless but often powerful people and companies.
BTW: GIMP also as a politically incorrect and stupid name which is unprofessional and looks bad in the eyes of the public.
I was going to mention it in a post about how some foreign cars suck.
The Hyundai seems reasonable, albeit cramped, when you first get it.
But the speakers in the sound system blow too easy (sounds all messed up, like the cone ripped), the brakes need replacing after 10K miles (most of which are freeway miles), and something is always going wrong with it.
And the gas mileage start off reasonable, and then sucks.
I know someone with the misfortune of owning such a car.
I have a Pontiac, it is much better. Yeah, it needed quite a bit of work at 60K miles, but is reasonbly low maintenance.
The Hyundai feels like a rental, the Pontiac feels like a real car.
I didn't mean people changing their User Agent were violating Google's TOS, I meant sites that give different content to googlebot vs normal web browsers are engaging in "web cloaking". Those sites, which you found acted differently when you called yourself googlebot are the one's violating Google's TOS, and can find themselves punished (e.g. PR0'd or even delisted).
GPL 3 will have an "undermine your own business" clause if Stallman has his way - it will be illegal to not release source code for any code that you allow to provide services over the web - i.e. Google would have to release source to the company jewels (the search engine source) or be violating the license.
GPL 3 will hurt open source acceptance in business.

I don't know if that would be a good school or a bad one to go to.
Pro:
Lunch lasts a few hours!
Con:
You get zapped with electricity from bizarre electrified asphalt (or was it just a ground and your mike was electrified:)
I once was in a house where neutral and hot were reversed to a light fixture. Worked fine until we decided to upgrade it to something better and the electrician got zapped.:)
Yeah, but if you have a 400 W supply and are really using 450 W instead of 350 and don't realize it, you'll get a big BANG and have to spend a lot more bucks.
I had a cell phone when the pound key would only work 5% of the time, pressing it would give me a '9' (!) 5% of the time, and the rest of the time do nothing.
I opened the phone as much as I could, poured some 91% isopropyl alcohol into the keyboard area, and the pound key works like 95% of the time, and never gives me a '9' (the '9' key works normally as it did before).
It buzzes when it rings and people have trouble hearing me but having my pound key is more important (can't live without the pound key).
People had trouble hearing me even before, the old TDMA AT&T network appears to have gone downhill after Cingular bought it.
I should've just bought a GSM phone.
I used 70% isopropyl alcohol to make a CD stop skipping - one song was constantly skipping in a certain point - and now there is no problem.

Lovely Firefox says telnet is not a registered protocol.
Good work Mozilla.org, your software doesn't even know what TELNET is.
Just take out support for everything but HTTP/1.1 and be done with it - you're already on that road, file urls don't work when clicked, gopher gives empty pages, telnet is unknown, just go whole hog., lose ftp, then anything but http, then version 0.9 (if you even support it), then 1.0 (since all the 31337 people use 1.1) then we can get on making it only work with Linux Apache sites...
An open web where everyone can participate?
Ha!

Google knows the truth!
Well in the military, "denial devices" are not something you'd ever want to encounter, so "delaying devices" is usually what you use. :)

Hitting strangers with a sock of nickels isn't Slashdot worthy. Hiting them with a sock full of RFID identification tags is.
I can't believe you said Hyundai.

American cars aren't bad.
There was a time during which there was some quality slippage, but that time is long gone.
The studios bought the DMCA, they can buy an exemption from the anti-trust laws too.
They know where the Capitol is, they just got to send the money.
An explosion from lower down due to the indigestible fake butter.
Get a cell phone jammer. :)

Web cloaking violates Google's TOS.
They have a page where you can report violators and I do when I find them.
Medical journals seem to do this often enough where you can call it an epidemic.
And anything under the GPL 3 would suffer greatly.
I wouldn't use such software and I would encourage others not to either.

Plus if the company provides it it is often cheaper because the company gets a quantity discount.
This applies for everything from free drinks, light rail passes (a biggie in Calif), health insurance, cheap PCs, etc.
This is what happens when sysadmins get drunk:

Ironically really bad injuries often hurt less (this is especially true with 3rd degree burns) as the nerves that carry pain are damaged.
Yeah, but if you have a 400 W supply and are really using 450 W instead of 350 and don't realize it, you'll get a big BANG and have to spend a lot more bucks.
Just create a file called -i in the root directory and avoid this happening again. ;)
Because NT is oh so stable otherwise.

I wouldn't be surprised if the board treated that oher jumper as another 2.7 and 2.7 fried the chip.
AMDs will fry easier than Intels in many cases. See the Tom's Hardware Guide story about heatsink failures:
http://www.tomshardware.com/cpu/20010917/
Quick summary:
INTEL P3: Crash, but survive
INTEL P4: CPU throttles down and then back up when the heatsink is replaced
The 2 AMD chips both went up in smoke, one destroying the motherboard in the process.
After the Bit Keeper fiasco and his DRM comments I am starting to have my doubts about Linus Torvalds and this worsens those doubts.
He has done an amazing amount of good for the community, but some of his recent actions are quite troubling.
