It's the Windows driver installed by autorun which prevents Windows users from seeing the audio CD portion of the disk. To prevent exactly this kind of crap I turn off autorun on any Windows system I'm unfortunate enough to have to use on a regular basis.
If you're using any OS other than Windows just rip it the way you normally would.
Having categories of planets wouldn't simplify the definition. It would make it complicate the definition. If there is one type of planet the definition can be fairly simple. If it's massive enough that gravity causes it to have a sphere like shape but isn't massive enough to cause fusion, it's a planet. If there are more then one type of planet then there must be a definition for each. When would an object be considered a terrestrial planet instead of a minor planet? How large of an atmosphere would a terrestrial planet need before it was considered a gas giant?
Current estimates of the number of objects in the Solar system larger than Pluto are in the thousands. It seems to me that planets would be fairly limited in number in any given system. If the definition of a planet allows for thousands of them in a single system, it isn't much of a definition.
Should NASA do science for the sake of advancing knowledge or to make good television? How many truely beneficial, pure science missions must we sacrifice so the public can get a warm fuzzy feeling by watching people see how far they can knock a golf ball on another planet?
Perhaps I should re-phrase my comment. They first imaged it in 2003. But the motion wasn't apparent until they re-imaged it in January 2005. In 2003 they didn't know it was anything special. They *have* been sitting on the announcement. But only since January 2005, not since 2003.
From a BBC article: The object was first observed on 21 October 2003, but the team did not see it move in the sky until looking at the same area 15 months later on 8 January 2005.
I'm curious. What would happen if I were a homosexual manager and fired one of my heterosexual subordinates because I disagreed with their lifestyle? Would they be in some way legally protected or would they be just as screwed as a fired homosexual?
The iPod isn't the only Apple product with a halo effect. It's just has the biggest one. About a year ago I was in the market for a new laptop. Having been a *n?x user for years I'd been wanting to give OS X a try. So I purchased my first Apple product, an iBook G4. I was blown away at the quality, power and ease of use of both of the hardware and the OS. I've since purchased iPod's for both of my children. Between the three of us we've spent a small fortune at the iTMS. I've purchased a Mac Mini for the children and will be getting a new Power Book for myself later this year. In addition I am very close to getting a couple of friends to switch. This is all within less than a year of getting the iBook.
The anti-oss group's are not the target. The uneducated people in the middle are. A large percentage of that very same group are fiercely anti-socialists. The ones here in America at least. Why take the chance of confusing, scaring or offending the very group you're trying to win over to your side. Also, why do it over something as trivial as the look and feel of a website. It's easy enough to select another theme that's just as cool.
You missed the point of my original post. *I* don't think they're advocating socialism. They made a stylistic choice when designing the site. My point is they may unintentionally validate the concerns of a business person or educator who's heard of open source but doesn't know much about it beyond what Microsoft says. Here's an example of what I mean.
"I don't know about this open source stuff."
"Microsoft says it's anti-American and bad for business."
"But maybe they're just blowing hot air."
"I'll do some googling and see what I can learn."
"Oh, an advocacy site."
"I see what the other side says."
"I'll just click on the link here."
"Waiting for the page to load..."
"OH MY GOD THEY'RE COMMUNISTS!!!"
"I guess Microsoft was right."
"I'm a god fearing, red blooded American."
"I won't have anything to do with this stuff."
With the FUD Microsoft and others spread about open source and the GPL being anti-american and bad for business, perhaps it isn't such a good idea for the site to look like it advocates socialism.
The part where the OS and applications refuse to operate in a usable fashion because "security" has been disabled. Turning off DRM will almost certainly mean turning off an unknown large percentage of features which rely on it.

I'd say let's start the clock and see how long this takes to get fixed but...
When I first read the title I wondered what the heck OpenNess was. I almost went to sourceforge and searched for it.

Isn't this type of action protected by whistle blower protection laws?
