Why would it be considered illegal to link from a website to DeCSS but writing an email containing the URL legal? Maybe we all should have a sig in our mails?
The problem is that every regular win user installing the "base system" / "base OS" to hd need to run fdisk... If I had a 12 year old child I wouldn't apprechiate that...:-)
I think separating "base OS" from the game/application is a good thing, though.
I think one of the biggest disadvantages when using rpm is the lack of pure source distributions, that is, tarballs containing only a Makefile and some source files.
Those are the one that screw my system up. Sure, rpm -ta works but only when the tarball supports it.
(Guess I am making a fool of my self but:)
Would it be good relying on CORBA as a standard instead of the usual pipes for the backend? (Which will only become true if separated from the GNOME project).
You will then have a clean interface that leaves parsing out - "components" for shell level. Instead of relying on the pipes you would rely on the component interface.
(Is it really an advantage or would you rather use libraries instead of "components" for the shell programs?)
True, too bad it uses the transfer manager though. I think it would have been better using a program not needing X11/GTK+/GNOME-libraries. Then all effort would be concentrated to one progam instead of two (we will always need the shell...) The transfer manager could then be used as a frontend to this shellprogram/server.
The backend could still use CORBA though, but I also think the bonobo part should be abstracted from the GNOME project. That would make it even more usable for people not wanting to use either GNOME or KDE and probably form a standard for the unix-world! (not strictly to be used only for X).

This is great. It takes courage to admit something like this. I like it!
If it's unlegal linking to a site offering DeCSS - wouldn't it be unlegal linking to NASA or any other site where someone could permit an unlegal action such as breaking in?
knock, knock!
Only because you are doing the installation as root, you don't have to run the application as root...

hmmm... you don't need that much fixes.... Just rename win95 to win98 and sell it....;-)

Haven't hash-codes and checksums been known for decades?...

Would it be possible implementing compability layers for Outlook and Notes?
And please don't send invitation to meetings by mail... (Keep mail separated from calendar issues if possible).
Oh... so you may not be allowed to start working at 7:00am anymore?!?

Yes, I see - sorry 'bout that!

And because it were so time consuming loading the operating system from punch cards the computers had huge uptimes...

Not as my blue screen computer at work...

Could you be sued for linking to a site that's linking to someone offering DeCSS also?
