For almost all users who have a 'Desktop Environment' then there is an underlying native style and widget set, obviously.
The people for whom 'native' is not clearly defined is a small minority (non-Gnome/KDE users) of a small minority (linux users). One I don't mind ignoring as being insignificant to the argument, despite being a member of it.
The entropy rate of arbitrary pixel values is higher than the entropy rate of related pixel values (such as shapes).
Therefore the obvious way gives a better information density. Therefore comparing against the obvious way is *not* necessarily the behaviour of a jackass, but quite possibly the behaviour of someone who has a grasp of Information Theory.
Time for everyone to borrow Cover and Thomas from their local library, methinks.
How do you go into single user mode? I'd dearly like to liberate several hundred megs of RAM in order to use it for my own memory-intensive applications rather than have the GUI (which I also don't see eye-to-eye with) swallow it all up.
Should - and do. One of Freescale Semiconductor's clients' more popular uses for accelerometers is in industrial applications -- BIG kit -- on things that vibrate constantly. Things that vibrate more and more as bearings dry or wear (hence the need for the accelerometer - so you can perform detect this and perform maintenance before your printing press, or whatever, self-destructs). The accelerometers outlive any of the parts they are supposed to look after.
Freescale has some pretty cool electonmicrographs of their 2-axis and 3-axis accelerometers - www.freescale.com, sensors, accelerometers, and browse around - I can't actually find the images now. I have a PPT on my work laptop, but that's no use. Grab a ZSTAR for <$50, and simply have a play with one yourself - (that includes everything - hardware and development kit).
iBook chips typically came from Freescale Semiconductor, also part of the Power consortium, part of Motorola historically. Freescale too have papered over the crack that Apple left quite easily.

I read section 7 several times, and, from a black-on-white standpoint, I don't see it. Insidious, definitely, but I don't see any current actual violation of the wording of the license itself. Of course it points toward *future* issues, a veritable minefield, but they will have to be addressed when clauses are concretely being violated. Before that time, hopefully, everyone's followed Petreley's advice, and retreated way back from SuSE, to more ethically sound distributions.

"Playing hard"? They've been found guilty in courts of law in several continents of illegal monopoly-abusing business practices. That's not "playing hard", that's "playing illegal".
Bruce, could you expand, please? There's nothing I see in the WSJ article, for example (from the related link), which unambiguously contradicts anything in the GPL. I don't doubt you, I'm sure you're have a better grasp on the situation than many others on/. .
The orchestras that play your piece must surely have an audience, such that they themselves can make money. So they're marketting your piece of music to hundreds if not thousands of people. My business instincts tell me that, assuming the piece is as good as you say it is, this marketting will increase record sales. And thus you profit from them performing your work.

"it implies..." It doesn't. Nowhere does what you've quited imply that either spider or plant know anything about their environment. They simply "know" that they've not been eaten and can spread their seed - and thus (continue to) do so.
I Ubuntu CD boot one of my machines with no HD. I read webmail.
Either I'm a computer mega-god who can do the impossible, or you've not thought things through enough.
Of course, the conclusions are obvious: the plaintiff simply needed to submit a linux boot CD to the courts in order to satisfy their demand.
Unless there's some hidden paragraph in the law that states spam only affects you if it gets to non-ephemerally reside on your own machine. Which would be bogosity central.

times another 600. (You've assumed 1dpi in one dimension).
It's so obviously a scam that there's no need to discuss it further.
The best reaction is silence.
"Open API's were unheard of until Google came around."
That has got to be one of the most incorrect statements ever stated with a straight face.
Open APIs predate the web. Open web APIs predate google's existance.
Or news agencies...

Your argument is consistent with your premise. We will have to agree to differ when it comes to that particular premise.

"SATA is about 2 years old"
SATA was first proposed in August 2000, and all manufacturers were implementing it by the end of 2002. Time moves quickly...
Unnecessary forking!
Bash to the rescue:
$ for i in *.jpeg ; do echo mv $i ${i/.jpeg/.jpg}; done
mv a.jpeg a.jpg
mv b.jpeg b.jpg
You can wrap that up in a shell function if need be.
${//} is well worth remembering.
