Problem is that patents cost $. If you are patenting something just so that everyone can use it, just create the prior art and you're done. No need to file for a patent unless you want to block specific entities from using the technology covered by your patent.
I do appreciate the work that the project has done in the past. It does work. Unfortunately, XFree86 as it is right now is making it harder to create an appealing UI for Linux than is necessary. It therefore should be replaced by a project that is nimble enough to adapt to the times.
And yes, XFree86 crashes. Alt-Ctrl-Backspace is there for a reason.
The Windows Paint program tries to display it, but try scrolling all the way to the right -- the scrollbar in paint maxes out at the highest value of a signed int (~30,000). To its credit, it fails gracefully.
I must be an exception.. Mandrake 9.2 recognizes all my SATA drives automatically. It doesn't even require a driver or anything. Windows makes me find a driver disk before it'll recognize the drives! Same with the USB 2.0. In case you were wondering, I didn't even look for Linux support when I bought the SATA and USB 2.0 cards. The SATA card was made by Promise, who was nice enough to release GPL drivers for inclusion in the kernel, but I'm not sure who makes the USB card..
I've tried reinstalling Windows, saving to a different type of filesystem, even saving to a network share. I haven't had any other unexplained system problems. Also, the problem doesn't happen when saving in a different format.
I've been scanning, then saving several >150mb (uncompressed) images as JPEGs using v7 of Photoshop. Every 15t or so image gets corrupted. When I try to open it, Photoshop complains about an invalid JPEG header. No other programs are able to open the file.
Promise released their drivers under the GPL. My Promise SATA card works right out of the box with Mandrake 9.2. Even Windows XP can't claim that level of plug & play.
..but that doesn't mean the tradition of the majority has to be modified or destroyed because a few people can't handle the tradition most of us grew up with.
And why is no-one crying for the spilling of the blood of the sendmail maintainers?
What are you talking about? Did you miss all the posts about how everyone should be switching to qmail or postfix? I know you didn't, cause the very first words to appear in a comment are "Use qmail"
The databases they are talking about are sites like eLibrary that simply have arrangements with all the world's periodicals to archive their articles. eLibrary then charges a fee to access their collection of old articles.

Where is the transparency though?
Seriously.. Windows has had it since 2000, and MacOS X breathes on it.
The oldest computer in my house supports it, and my new computer supports it even better.
It's one of biggest new things, but applications for Linux that want to use it have to wait for XFree86 to support it.
It isn't Linux's fault - check out Keith's Screenshots

Just thought this was interesting.. Here's a quote from the page that I saw:

What's wrong with gcc on a server?

That wanted ad was last revised November 2001. Were we blaming 9/11 on him by then?
Where did you find those TV ratings?

So, no. It isn't an OS or controller problem.

The US government is largely run by Christians right now. I believe there are few people that would argue that point.
Why would a government comprised mainly of Christians be more likely to try to prove that God doesn't exist?
BTW, as the first line of the article clearly states,
FWIW, I was forced to say the pledge..
<p>So what's your take on slavery?</p>
The number of songs you share varies independently of the number of songs you buy.
There is *no* correlation.

woah
if you're being critical, why not talk about the swap partition in ram
LOL
That was great.. thanks
I think what you meant to say (at least I *hope* you meant to say) is that you could do your internet browsing inside the virtual machine.
Remember: the virtual machine client has little/no access to the host computer. The host computer has full access to the virtual machine.
Regardless, if you're really into security, you know that VMWare has had its share of holes too. (That's why I said 'little/no access')
FYI, when you microwave water, it can get well above the boiling point.
That's exactly why I choose a Dell printer. No Lexmark printers are going to get into my house!

Sounds like you're just a free software hater
Would you like to offer an alternative?
This service (education) could be provided by the government..
