The whole reason that the Constitution allows for copyright is to enrich the Public Domain. The copyright laws in the US have become perverted from this intention. Basically since the 1920's nothing has been entering the Public Domain.
The GPL enforces an openess that is similiar and some respects greater than Public Domain. So it is not a double standard.
LinuxQuestions As you are using ubuntu you could try the Ubuntu forumns as well. I am not familiar with Ubuntu's config utils and I am not that familiar with setting up two sound cards in Linux from the command line. Is there a reason you can't just disable the AC97 in Bios?
Like there is any consitency of what you are talking about in Windows. Office 2003 is different then Office 2000 and Corel WP and IE and Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Photoshop and Macromedia Fireworks and et cetera. Even OSX is not perfect witht he metal and stripped UI.
I set my parents up to use Linux on thier home computer. My mom uses KDE because she wanted to single click to open Desktop Shortcuts. My dad uses GNOME because he like Geyes.
Text files in/etc/ can be understood by context even if they are not commented (most every distro has them nicely commented). The registry does not have that. Even if the data value is a '1' it might need tobe a '2' or '0' or even '3'.
While the majority of things can be configured in the Control Panel, there are still some items that can only be changed in the registry. I have yet to see anything in the Windows help files that say to edit the registry, yet virtually ever text file in/etc/ will have a man page. That sure seems easier to me.
My text editer (Joe) saves the previous text file when I save changes. I don't remember if vim or emacs does by default but I am pretty sure they can be configured to do so. (Side note: what is called vi in most Distros is really vim.) I have seen cases were people have set thier resolution to something not supported by thier monitor, through the control panels. No software will fully protect you from yourself.
Taxpayer funds defend your copyright. The deal is, you get granted a copyright, and then we (meaning the general public) gets the ideas to be held in common after a limited time. Ideas are not the same thing as physical private property and Ideas are not considered the same by the US Constitution.
Legally and morally, I have a right to any Ideas you copyright. Sure, you get to have exclusive control for a time, but then it reverts to everyone. As the parent poster claims copyright is property, then I do have a definitive right to copyrights as they belong to the public domain.
Recently the Supreme Court declared there are legal circumstances where a private individual can claim private real estate through eminent domain. That establishses that property that belongs to one individual can be claimed legally by another. The moral grounds are a bit murky, but I would say the Mr. Clements of the "Hotel Lost Liberty" is morally right to seek the property of Mr. Souter thorugh eminent domain.
So to recap, stlhawkeye is wrong. I do have right to other's property or copyright. It is not absolute, but then nothing ever is.
Windows can be pretty braindead about some usb devices. I just got a new Dell notebook that I was setting up for a dual boot.
I plugged in a Logitech USB mouse (mx310) and I was prompted to reboot in XP. I did the same in Mandriva, and it just worked. It is very plausible that Windows would be a pain on other USB devices like cameras.
There is one Linux "Control Panel", it is not a GUI, it is called/etc/. All configuration can be done there. It is easier than registry hacking in Windows.
Cd burning in Nautilus is essentially the same as in XP. Nautilus being the file manager for GNOME and presumably what is referred to by CD burning in GNOME. While I do prefer the GNOME Desktop, I prefer using K3b for burning discs. The interface is superficially similiar to Adaptec Easy CD Creator v3/4.
Wrong. Some property is expected to be held in the public will. Copyright is only extended in the expectation that it will revert to the public domain after some limited time. Patents operate under a similiar expectation.
Roads are held by the public. Any public building are technically owned bythe public. Parks are owned by the public. Some things are found to be too useful to let remain in private hands.
All the above is US centric, but seeing how we are talking about American businesses on an American forum, it just follows.
What BS? The Intel EM64T is a horrible kludge compared to x86-64 (Athlon64). The Xeon 64 bit are just EM64T processors, which compare badly to Athlon64 let alone Opterons.
Get off your mebibyte usage. Noone uses it. 1,048,576 is what is meant by 1 MB as reported by your computer OS. As it is defined by American companies (for our purposes the orignators are the only ones that count which are IBM, Apple, Microsoft, and AT&T), SI units don't matter.
There is this thing called American Buffalo, species name Bison Bison. I think the US Fish and Wildlife Services is a bit more authoritative then some group with axes to grind. Your link for Buffalo is listed as an Indonesia Bull. That is known as a water buffalo.
E. Coli is only a surface problem. Unless you stab or grind the meat, only the surface needs to be cooked to kill E. Coli. Tape Worms are killed by freezing the meat. With beef, you really don't have any other concerns.
Sear your meat before you grind or VU treat, and now you can have safe rare hamburgers.
A new CompUSA opened up here in Fort Myers. As part of thier Grand Opening they were selling 50 notebooks for like $400. People camped out overnight for this. Fortunately, CompUSA was on the ball and gave out vouchers to the first people in line.
From thier press release: Out of the box, the LCD panel can be programmed to show information from other applications, such as incoming email alerts, CPU speed, or even media player information, without interfering with the game on screen. A software development kit (SDK) will be included on the installation CD, allowing gamers to write their own programs for customized information to be displayed on the LCD screen.
Sounds like it will definitively support CPU info and may support IM or RSS feeds or not but it can be added in.
Almost every notebook has this little hole caled a Kensignton Lock Slot. Yes, sufficent force can rip a kensington cable out but it becomes quite obvious that this was done. Also, hacksaws can cut away the desk leg (or cable) but that is obvious as well. And it takes time.
You should have 3-5 budgets. You should have 1-2 lowball estimates of just bare minimum to scrape by. Say just the cost to effect repairs for the year and any licensing costs.
Then 1-2 modest proposals of things you expect to keep things running well. Keep reasonable but don't underestimate your needs.
Lastly, propose 1-2 "pie in the Sky" budgets. Things you like but don't really expect. Make sure to have sound reasoning for each but, don't skimp. You will likely get a few items on the high end budget.
Be sure to also estimate capital expenditures for adding additional employees. Don't forget licensing.
If you forgo color, you can get a cheap laser printer. Black toner cartridges last forever so it would be cheaper in the long run and not cost anything more initially. Then do the occaisional color print at say Kinkos and photos at the drug store.
Yeah, it is kinda sucky that the memory slots fail on the grx models. But as it is not a safety issue, they are not going to admit to it.
There is an easy work around, just use one slot. Also, there is no service fee to check out the notebook; there is a minimum fee to get the notebok repaired. If you are not willing to pay the aprox. $300, then don't bother sending it in. But, If it is more, than you can get it sent back at no charge.

Don't bother showing up until at least the start time of your showing. This works amazingly well for matinees.
Thanks, that helps explain a lot. My college, RIT, only had one Library. I bet many of us were thinking of something similiar.

It is a matter empathisizing with the animal. Our rejection of eating animals that are too cute is ground in the taboo of cannibalism.
Until the Windows sharing suddenly stops working.

Something like that should have been done here.
I would say that all four definitions fit, particularly number 1.
Kathleen? Is that you?
Well it depends on which one. The Shuffles are worse than the Muvos. The Ipods with a hard drive are better than the Nomads.

At only 50 pages, you are almost better to just print at Kinkos.
