Pine is good, but I would recommend alpine over it. Pine has been discontinued for many years now and has license issues, development has more or less stopped on alpine as well but has a lot of important features missing in pine like at least som support for Unicode.
I hope so. I especially hope that Windows XP usage drops significantly up until April 2014 when the support ends. By then at least all companies still using XP should have moved, they usually care about those things.
When you drink beer do you only drink free as in speech beer where the recipe is published under a free license? If so, do you have a recommendation of free beverages? If you don't drink beer then please feel free to M-x replace-string RET beer RET something-that-you-drink RET.
The other side of the argument would be yes, but if the software derived from something BSD licensed then you still have that BSD licensed source code. It doesn't go away because someone makes a copy.
Since RedHat uses Fedora as a base when they build their enterprise distribution, is there any chance that MATE will now get there? We're using RHEL 5 and 6 on some desktops, running really good crafted versions of GNOME 2. And I'm not looking forward to the day RHEL 7 comes out with what I assume will be GNOME 3. I like some of the things they are doing, and one day it will probably be as good as GNOME 2; but that day is not now. Getting MATE included into RHEL would certainly be a good thing.
Mr. Stallman the free software movement have as its name implies focused on free software. But there's a lot of other areas where the same principles can apply. For example literature, music and movies are in a similar field. But interesting areas could also include things like electronics and hardware design, or even medicine. What's your opinions on a free software-like movement surrounding areas like those?
I disagree. While I am an open source advocate (and use it extensively). I do not see why everything "has" to be open source. Open source is a philosophy, DRM is pure idiocy disguised as philosophy!
Everything doesn't have to be open source, and that's actually not even what the op is saying. I agree with him/her that it would be appreciated if the source code was released.
Well, that's of course a good argument. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. A more common argument would be that you want to eliminate 32 bit code in the long run. I assume that they for example have to maintain dual stacks of 32 and 64 bit versions of all their libraries, and getting rid of the 32 bit versions would be good for maintenance reasons. But that's still far away due to backwards compatibility.
It sounds like the AC is in for some trolling, but he/she is kind of right in that 64-bit Windows has been somewhat of a bumpy ride compared to a few other operating systems. For Solaris, AIX, and even Linux there wasn't much of an issue in going to 64 bit a decade ago; yet even today Microsoft struggles with getting their own software onto 64 bit. For example, Microsofts own development environment Visual Studio is still 32 bit only.
Only Jolla GUI is closed source I guess - if the rest is open source and the userland is 'linux like' thats enough for me.
And if the system itself is fairly modular AND the hardware is open then there should be no stopping you from replacing the closed bits. But that's a big if.
They would only have to release the kernel sources, which is far from the entire operating system. So while it sounds great that they are using Linux it doesn't really say anything about the rest of it.
Does anyone know if this operating system will be made open or if it will remain closed? Would really like if there was a good open alternative to Android.
Or 17.0 ESR which is also out now and that will replace 10.0 ESR over the two upcoming releases. So if you want to roll out Firefox in your organization, be advised that 10.0 ESR is going out of support in only a couple of months.
I believe the reason is that work actually starts on 17 around the time of 15. There's always three versions being developed in parallel, each one a few weeks ahead of each other. So a bug fix may get into all currently developed versions.
I keep my email in my home directory on the file server and accesses it locally and remotely using NFS and IMAP. I wonder what FBI would say about my messages.

Has Apple actually done something like that?
Unless it's true!
Sounds a bit irresponsible to run such important systems on operating systems which no longer receives security patches.
Oh boy, I sure can't wait to install an OS with a phone interface on my desktop/laptop, that makes so much sense!
So use the desktop interface then. It's still there.
I hope so. I especially hope that Windows XP usage drops significantly up until April 2014 when the support ends. By then at least all companies still using XP should have moved, they usually care about those things.
I guess that means that anyone can create a fork, but isn't necessarily allowed to modify and redistribute that fork.

Gameplay is what happens when you play the game.
Duh.
Sure but the article was about that there should also be more to a game than just "doing stuff".

Maybe for a short while. But even tablets are closing in on the 4 GB barrier and 64 bit ARM chips are on the way.

That looks very interesting. Thanks.

Just grab 10.0.11 ESR and relax.
Or 17.0 ESR which is also out now and that will replace 10.0 ESR over the two upcoming releases. So if you want to roll out Firefox in your organization, be advised that 10.0 ESR is going out of support in only a couple of months.

Isn't Nexus the one Android device that is supposed to be open from the start?

I would try running it under Linux with Wine. Windows may not be necessary if it's just for a couple of applications.
