Show me where socialism and government control over business activity has brought about prosperity and lifted a country out of poverty?
Germany. The Netherlands. Belgium. France. The UK. The Scandinavian countries. And even Canada. Need I go on?
Of course, after privatizing essential facilities such as electricity and railways, some of these countries are now significantly more fscked up than they were ten or twenty years ago.
I already see one potential problem with this approach, and that is that it collects usability statistics from ingimp users, not GIMP users. How would it be guaranteed that the two groups are statistically equivalent?
I don't see an open source file system driver for Linux that lets you reliably write to NTFS formatted partitions,
I have been seeing it for quite a while now. NTFS-3G, which works within the FUSE userspace file system framework, has an excellent reputation for reliability.
The iPhone allegedly runs Mac OS X, and it's well known that Mac OS X includes many GPL'ed programs including much of the GNU userspace stuff.
Care to point which parts of the GNU userspace stuff those are, then?
Sure, but Slashdot's lameness filter won't let me, so I made a webpage: GNU userspace in Mac OS X. Summary: programs such as cmp, diff, grep, groff, gzip, info, and tar are all GNU versions in the default install of Mac OS X.
Oops, seems I committed the cardinal sin of telling the truth, considering my grandparent comment has been modded down to -1. And now I'm about to do it again!
I like the FSF a lot, but I'm sure this kind of posturing is very harmful to the adoption of Linux.
Linux is not an FSF project and Linux's authors are well known to view the FSF with hostility. And Apple does not use Linux in any of its products. Your comment is totally off-topic.
OSS advocates scream "FUD" when companies like Microsoft try to scare clients by saying using GPL software opens them up to legal action, but this kind of statement by the FSS shows that they have a point.
What kind of statement? How did the FSF threaten legal action by describing the iPhone as what it is?
The FSS needs to choose its battles more wisely if it is not going to harm the people it is supposed to help.
The FSF is doing a fine job helping the people it's supposed to help. You seem to have the wrong idea of who those people are.
Apple's work on the Mach kernel for ARM isn't under the GPL, it's under the BSD license. The graphics libraries are their own, and KHTML is available under it's own license. The FSF is trying to pull a Greenpeace-style publicity-grab here.
The iPhone allegedly runs Mac OS X, and it's well known that Mac OS X includes many GPL'ed programs including much of the GNU userspace stuff. The question as to whether the iPhone contains any GPL'ed software is therefore highly valid and has nothing to do with grandstanding.
How much nicer that there may be a cure for entropy, even if it is one that we will not survive!

Bottom line...serious PC Gamers are stuck with Windows....NOT!!!!! Simply set up a dual-boot system, and only boot into windows to play games and use Linux to go online and do anything else but your games.
In other words, serious PC gamers are stuck with Windows.

I wonder why the BBC cannot do this, when the Swedish public service television (SVT) can. SVT is financed by TV license fees, just like the BBC.
No one outside of Sweden understands Swedish*, so their programming has no international value. This is not the case with the BBC.
*I know that there are Swedish emigrants and that other Scandinavians can understand Swedish to varying degrees. That's probably not enough to bother them.
Constructing an add-in that can be loaded by Express is presumably a violation of the EULA for Express, because you're working around the technical limitation (weak though it may be) in the software that blocks the loading of add-ins.
But, the way I understand it, Jamie Cansdale does not use Express, and therefore never agreed to its EULA. So how is the Express EULA at all relevant to him or to any program he writes?
Whether such clauses are at all enforceable in the EU to begin with, is an entirely different and more hairy matter which I won't even touch because IANAL.
I think that sentence for all charges not just spamming: identity theft, money laundering, and mail, wire, and e-mail fraud. So if you add them all up, 65 years is probably right.
Actually, spamming was not one of the charges, as spamming is not a crime in the USA (not even under the you-CAN-SPAM act).
Its all aout priorities, but on New Orleans, I sincerely think that reconstruction of that city is a vain task unless it will recieve Proper (Holland style) Category 5 Hurricane Protection.
Holland style? I would hope not, as Holland doesn't get any hurricanes. That's a good thing too, because we'd be well and truly fucked if we did.
They could delay the inevitable by reallocating existing IPv4 space more efficiently. Many old/historical allocations are inefficient. Apple Computer, for example, has all of the 17.x.x.x space, comprising 256^3 = more than 16 million addresses, which is just plain absurd in this day and age.

That's half right. The Spanish version is Esteban. For many more national variants, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven.
So yeah, Stéphane Rodriguez has a French first name and a Spanish last name.
Stéphane is a French male name. The female version is Stéphanie.
By negotiating contracts to that effect with Verizon or SBC? If they break the contract, they can then be sued for damages.
That's simply nonsense.
You mean something like K-Meleon? Please try it and see if you find it any faster -- I didn't.
Simple: Ubuntu has a charismatic millionaire behind it. That's really all there is to it. Marketing is everything.

No, I was replying to jcr's message that started this thread.
Even if it had been 'MacFanboy', I don't see Slashdot nicknames with probable humorous intentions as a reason not to take their comments seriously.
