That's not really true... the real ushering in of CD's came from the recording industry itself, who decided on the death of vinyl. They changed their policies and decided that they would no longer buyback unsold vinyl records. This change caused many many many retailers to not stock vinyl anymore, and stock CD's instead, as there was far less risk in selling something that they could give back to the recording industry.
Try the "Insert" menu, choose "envelope". There were issues in the betas with envelope printing though, and I know I've burned a couple of envelopes tryign to figure out which settings to use in my printer. But, then again, I've burned envelopes in all the different printers I've used trying to get them to work.
I also find that it can work best if you create an envelope, then save it, and just use that one as a template for the future.

Q: Is there some way that I can GPL the output people get from use of my program? For example, if my program is used to develop hardware designs, can I require that these designs must be free?
A: In general this is legally impossible; copyright law does not give you any say in the use of the output people make from their data using your program. If the user uses your program to enter or convert his own data, the copyright on the output belongs to him, not you. More generally, when a program translates its input into some other form, the copyright status of the output inherits that of the input it was generated from.
So the only way you have a say in the use of the output is if substantial parts of the output are copied (more or less) from text in your program. For instance, part of the output of Bison (see above) would be covered by the GNU GPL, if we had not made an exception in this specific case.
You could artificially make a program copy certain text into its output even if there is no technical reason to do so. But if that copied text serves no practical purpose, the user could simply delete that text from the output and use only the rest. Then he would not have to obey the conditions on redistribution of the copied text.

since you have to publish any changes you might make to the original software.
That is incorrect. You are allowed to take a GPL'ed program, modify it to your hearts' content, and never release a single line of source code to anyone. Only if you then *distribute* the code to anyone else do you have to offer up the code. You have the right to not share. But, if you do share, you have to share completley.
Successful? It took 5 times as long to get to version 1.0 than MS did with IE
I would dare say that the world of web browsing is severley different since version 1.0 of Internet Exploder. Remember, even back then, IE was *just* a web browser, and, for the most part, still is. What HTML spec did IE support then? How many different versions of the HTML spec are there now? Stylesheets? How many different image formats?
If you're looking to compare Mozilla 1.0 to IE 1.0, then I think you're trying to compare apples and oranges.
Here ya go, you're all invited... now why don't you print out a bunch of these onto glossy postcards and leave them around your local college campus like all the promoters do at mine?
Already done. The software is called VisIT, from the good folks at the University of Illinois, the same campus that has developed a veritable shite load of things for the internet/mac, like Fetch (FTP), and a telnet client.
Why should government dictate what the owner of that wire has to do with it?
Because the government dictated that in exchage, that company is the only company that gets to run a wire to your house to provide cable or phone services. That's what a monopoly is. We hoped that the monopoly would be benevolent, but, then we found that they weren't, so we de-regulated, and found that without rules, they wouldn't play nice anyway. So, it's back to the not-quite benevolent monopolies.
Most places get 3 wires and 2 pipes to their house. Phone, Cable, Electric, Gas, and Water, but only one company really gets to provide the services for each of these.
Ummm.... Try downloading the Netscape version (at least not the IE version) of the plugin. Run that, and point out the Mozilla directory for the install.
As for the java, why don't you just read the Release Notes?
"If Java doesn't work, make sure the following is true: On Windows: Copy the NPOJI610.DLL from C:\JDK*\jre\bin to "\plugins" directory of your installation."
Remember... it's not Mozilla that's installing the plugins. It's you. Make sure you're installing them correctly.

Mentioning Earthlink and Scam in the same sentence reminded me of the story of Reed Slatkin,(until very recently) Scientologist, who was one of the founders of Earthlink and how he has plead guilty to running one of the biggest Ponzi scams in US history.
Note: Ponzi scam = scam where money collected from later investors are used to pay "dividends" to earlier investors.
With great Scientology management from people like Reed, and Sky Dalton, it's no wonder their customer service is so good.
as one of my friends said... at least in this movie he did something... he wasn't in this movie just for the sake of being in the movie, he actually advanced the plot.
I'll add into this one that the pear that Amidala bites into was just a *wee* bit far from her face for her to have taken that big a chunk out of.
But, then again, the only other thing I noticed that was really wrong with the movie was near the end where we see Amidala writhing in pain on the desert sands, then the clone comes up and asks if she is ok, then completeley shrugs off the discomfort she felt. That's the only thing that really bugged me.
As I've said before, this is more akin to some "national" "yellow pages" directory sending you an advertisement that looks like an invoice for their not-widely distributed or non-existant directory, and trying to push it off as the real thing.
Trust me, this isn't new. Some scam "Yellow Pages" (no, not the real thing) sent out similar notices for directory listings that mysteriously never get published. Companies would pay hundreds of dollars to take out ads in these false directories, after receiving what looked like an invoice from what appeared to be their local phone directory.
The scam isn't new. It's just being put on to a new media, much like Reed Slatkin, and modern day ponzi schemes and "make money fast" schemes sent over the net.
I'll tack this on: Guide to understanding Interstate numbering
US Interstate numbers are 2 or 3 digits long. Each digit has a specific meaning.
The third digit (ones) denotes direction. Even numbered interstates, (Example: 90, 86, etc) run east-west. Odd numbered interstates (Example: 95, 87) run north-south.
The second digit (tens) denotes where in the country it is located. Interstates are numbered South-North, and West-East. This being said, I-90 and I-87 run through NY. I-5 and I-10 run through California.
The first digit (hundreds) is a special extension for cities. Even digits are "bypass", and odd digits are "to". Examples: In Rochester, NY, I-390 runs from I-90 to the city, and I-490 runs around the city. In Buffalo, I-190 runs into the city, and 290 runs past the city.
On the other hand, the software on top of that platform is moot - I like open source/free software here too, but if for instance Microsoft released MS Office for Linux (with documented formats) then I'd be seriously tempted. The word processor I use is not core. The kernel is, and therefore the kernel has to be free.
And if your printer driver sucks? What then? If it's not free (as in speech), if you don't have the source code, you have no way to improve it. That's what happened to RMS. There was a laser printer in the labs that jammed occasionally. RMS wanted to change the software for it so it would detect when it was jammed. Xerox gave him the code, and he made the change.
Some time later, they upgraded to the next model of printer. When RMS went to implement his queue checking for the new printer, Xerox wouldn't give him the source.

In this case, "derived from" is not referring to the output of the program, but the actual codebase of the program having been modified in some way.
