I mean, are we sitting on our butts typing back and forth? Yes. We are hoping that the recent lawsuits brought against napster and the DeCSS gang will work out, but the fact of the matter is that even if they win, the DCMA is still there. What needs to be done is lobbying and petitioning, and not this stupid online petition BS. I'd love to get started on it myself, but this is an American issue, and I'm not a U.S. citizen.
You don't need source code for a linux product, just binaries for the right CPU and libc version... So for slackware x86, you would need 2 binaries to cover the last 2 versions alone. Getting back on topic, you're right that BeOS is a more likely candidate. The reason for this is that BeOS dosn't support nearly as many different platforms as Linux, and dosn't have a billion different distribs using different version of libc. To effectivly release a product for Slackware that covered the last few versions, you would need to release at least 2 binaries. Sad, but true.
If microsoft was to make a linux port of any of their products, it would mean admitting that there is a linux market that they can make money off, and that they do not dominate the operating system market - at least to themselves and their supportors. - Loss of face is usually accompanied with publicity consisting of "Ha ha, look at , they are ineffective!" And their stock drops... Now do you really think that MS will release linux specific ports?
I had as my first computer, a Commodore PC 10-III it ran at 4.77mhz, and using either special keystrokes or an included utility, you could "Turbo" or "Double" the clock speed (1.5x and 2.0x respectivly) (It was an 8088-1 for the curious) - It was amazing, it had onboard serial, parallel, H/C/P-GA graphics, bus mouse, floppy and hdd controlers, and had an amazing bios that would automatically list all added ports, and disable any onboards that were conflicting... (the first PnP?) 2 360k 5.25" drives, and I added an 80meg SCSI that I got used from a big company (was in their server until they upgraded)... Man, I maxed it out all the way... I still have it, and occasionally crack it out to use as a colour terminal for BBSing. I got to share in the delight of downloading from Software Creations on a 1200 baud...
It's not companies like doubleclick that we need to worry about. Regardless of doubleclick's intentions, it is still quite easy to track web user's habits. We need a way to insure privacy that does not depend on companies _not_ gathering our information.
M14 is for bugstomping. M13 is still the latest ported milestone, as evidenced by this quote from Project Seamonkey: Current Project Milestones and News [Latest Testing, Evaluation and Porting Release: M13] [Next Development Milestone Target: M14 - Open Bug and Engineering Task List] For additional information on this and other upcoming milestones check the milestone plan.
This would increase speed on connections where the following conditions exist: Slow connection (eg, less than cable/dsl) AND there is no Modem or PPP compression This would likely decrease speed on cable/dsl and higher, as the browser would have to unzip the html prior to rendering.
Since the U.S. govt slackened off some of the export regulations, the crypto can be available as long as it is not knowingly exported to a restricted country. Also, since mozilla is using hooks to a binary - the same way the shockwave flash plugin works - one can develop one's own crypto modules if so desired.
In my youth I was once stabbed through the chest by a large monster, and I watched all events thereafter in a 3rd person perspective. Since that time, I've been shot once, and "hit bottom" after falling more times than I can count. What's weird, is at the same time I hit bottom I wake up, and my body, anticipating the shock, actually bounces upwards in the bed slightly. In any case, I'm still quite alive.
I am in a university on the end of a T3 from chicago, in dorm, with this very computer linked into the lan. I have downloaded more songs in the last 6 months than I have ever taped before in my life - and I've bought SIX TIMES as many CDs in this time period than ANY given time in my life. I'm also 19 and single. I am the RIAA target audience. What more do you need that MP3s are helping the RIAA?
It's really great that IBM can make atoms dance in elipses, but can I use this new technology to make slashdot iron-transfers for all my spare t-shirts?
Having a free commercial unix will pull more companies away from developing for win32, which is a good thing for *nix users. No matter how good wine gets, it won't be as good as having a native app, and that's what's keeping *nix, espically linux away from true mainstream desktops.
I recall early in the beta 1 days of freedos, reading about LBA support and possibly VFAT and Fat32 support. How has the freedos project considered these goals in recent times, and are these goals attainable?

Renice dnetc and dosemu to limit dosemu cycles. You are contributing to distributed.net, right? ;)
Those were the days.
Not open-sourcing windows, an open source project for the win32 platform instead of *nix.

I have used Arachne, and I find it to be at least as advanced as NS4, though lacking java/javascript support.
Under WIN32, yes. *nix and mac folk need to migrate everything manually.

quakeworld 'broke' the original grappling hook, so wedge fixed it - rewrote it to be qw happy.
Next, UUNet will be giving all it's employees Ford cars, and subsidising gas costs.
