Your comment reminds me of the bullshit court ruling several years ago that loading a computer program into memory was, "effectively making a copy". Thus denying people their right to make an archival backup copy of software.
The corporations will squeeze and squeeze, until they have all the money and power, and the people will have nothing. The only way to fight this is to vote with your wallet. Don't support abusive monopolies by giving them your money, even if their products are hip, cool, or trendy.
That's interesting, although I haven't run into that problem myself (and I've had the client running for days at a time). One to look out for, I guess.
For explanation, we need look no further than the prominent Microsoft ad on the article. It wouldn't surprise me if the whole site was sponsored by Redmond.
And you prefer what, VB? I personally prefer C style syntax, the only thing that I dislike about Javascript is that are the camelCase function names (was it getElementById, getElementByID, or GetElementById?).. somewhat annoying but not terribly so.
If you are upgrading an NForce-based machine to 2.6.x, save yourself some headaches and add "noapic nolapic" to the Kernel append string. I experienced repeatable hard lockups when doing disk intensive I/O until adding those parameters.
Also, NVIDIA's nforce package is no longer necessary. The experimental forcedeth driver in 2.6.2 works quite well in my experience, and apparently an Intel sound driver works for the NForce onboard sound.
See my latest journal entry for my account of migrating MDK 9.1 to a vanilla 2.6.1 kernel.
I think you make a very good point with the lashing out theory. That could explain the disproportionate number of (win)trolls which inhabit Linux message boards. I can't believe that they're all Microsoft employees, and why else would someone otherwise uninterested in a technology go to the trouble?
Of course, if Apple was a startup today they probably wouldn't make it. Your point is valid, at least for now. But nothing can last forever, even Microsoft monopolies.:)
I pack these emails into messages that I post to Usenet in groups likely to be trolled by Spammers. The spammers scrape these addresses from Usenet and add them to their database. Thus, future mailings will also spam the spammer's clients.
So you plan to spam Usenet to get some kind of revenge on spammers? The end does not justify the means.
If enough people do this, the generated traffic will begin to overload the client's mail server. After a while the spammer's clients will figure out that every time they employ a spammer, they themselves get spammed.
Not only is this not going to work, it would also lower the already poor S/N ratio on Usenet. Please reconsider this plan.

I guess this explains the wealth of the Centauri Republic, eh?
Perl, not elegant? Behold the source code to 'cat':

Isn't this an oxymoron, you know like, "work party", "pretty ugly", or "microsoft works"?

Check out Azureus, a cross-platform graphical BitTorrent client written in Java. It's highly configurable and works well on this Linux box.
Congratulations, you just invented fortified wine.
That's true, but you don't see me asking for an Apple ][ boycott or anything. :)
A message of openness: Boycott Netscape 4.x!
Um, you know Netscape 4.x is dead, right?
I'm sure your friends will have plenty of work loading speaker bracelets onto the candle truck when Micros~1 finally goes tits up.
I think you misspelled professionaly certifiable. ;)
not only does it's syntax suck (think java)
And you prefer what, VB? I personally prefer C style syntax, the only thing that I dislike about Javascript is that are the camelCase function names (was it getElementById, getElementByID, or GetElementById?).. somewhat annoying but not terribly so.
A rollout being appropriate for tires, naturally. ;)

I've got four words for you:
Developers, Developers, Developers, Developers.
What this means, I do not know.
Where did they find 300 million lines of Linux code to begin with, much less 300 million infringing lines?
That's easy, 2.2.x sources + 2.4.x sources + 2.6.x sources (through all minor revisions) should do it.. ;)
You keep using that word. I think it does not mean what you think it means.
Lack of good 'free' Windows software to do so? I haven't found any yet.
CDex is pretty good. Supports MP3, Vorbis, ect.

Really?

I'm not seeing a downside here..
