Yeah, IBM is never (or at least until any applicable statute of limitations expires) going to touch WINE because of the OS/2's win16/32 compatibility layer mess.
Of course this is a lot of venom involved when you get people out to screw us. It is real simple to comply: give thoce source to whoever you give binaries to. The easy way to handle this is to provide the binaries with the source, so just put all on the same disc or even give out two discs and you are done (ie foo is on disc 1 and foo source is on disc 2). Now if someone gives out foo to someone else, it thier responsibility to make sure they get the source.
If instead you make an offer to get the source, you pretty much need to hand it out to everyone that comes knocking.
You can also provide an ftp server but that is not necessary. But there are a number of companies that do nothing, and when you try to get the source as required, the companies try to brush you off.
To give a comparison, if you are gracious and loan out your basketball as a kid and then some bully refuses to give it back, you will rightfully be upset. In the future you will be very careful who you let use your ball.
Err, Windows Media Player 10 can rip to mp3 natively, MP9 needs a plugin bought to do it. You have to download Lame or bladeenc on most distros, and then are a in legal grey area depending on your jurisdiction.
There is Pinball, Solitaire and Hearts. Linux wins hands down here.
Wordpad can be used though it is a poor substitute to anything that can say spellcheck?
The process for seeing what happens in Linux is much more straight forward. The process the kernel follows to initialize is documented and easy to follow. The kernel passes off to Init and its configuration is in plain text. Init then follows the rc.d directories (presuming a SysV init structure). The startup scripts in rc.d are all plain text. You can read what is happening and understand the boot process. You can go to any other Unix system, even OS X and follow a similiar process. The generalities even hold true for Windows, even if the specifics are not the same. The problem is that Windows does not make it easy to follow along on what is happening during the boot process.
This is just one example, but holds true for most everything in Linux. If you are teaching Computer theory, Linux makes it easy to see what is happening. If you are not teaching computer theory, the programs in Linux makes it easy to generalize thier usage. The exact menu items to say insert a picture might be different in Kword and OpenOffice, but it should be easy to find the menu option to do that function and either one can be used to write a research paper.
MS Works is as different from MS Office as OpenOffice is different from MS Office. Many companies and governments are looking at not using Microsoft products at all. who knows what will be in 5-10 years, but if history is any indication, the current prevalent programs will not be prevalent tomorrow. Ten years ago, WordPerfect was the Wordprocessor. Now look at it. Specific knowledge of WP will not help you any, but generic knowledge of a wordprocessors will help.
The init process is a good example. In windows, you have gross oversiplification of things put in the startup menu folder will launch when the computer boots or deliberate obfuscation with arcane registry entries. In linux, while not simple it is easy to parse out kernel passes to Init and then follows the rc.d directories.
My mom and sister are teachers. I have worked as a substitute teacher. I know what happens in the classrooms.
The teachers know the bare minimum to get by. Some don't even know that. At my mom's school all the teachers got notebooks. They are getting trained on things such as how to create a folder.
As far as ed software goes, either use Wine or check out Tux for Kids. Some schools still have Apple IIe just for this old reading software, but most of what is done is to write reports and research on the Web. Linux can handle that.
For the teachers about the only proprietary thing is the Grading and Attendance program. For a small school district or solitary school, a spreadsheet would probably work well enough. For a larger district, that could hire someone to write a custom app. Some larger districts could get together and sponsor a OSS app. Should bepretty simple to design somthing that uses a database as the backend and grab some of the common spreadsheet functions from either OO.o or Gnumeric or Kspread and wrap it up in a decent front end.
Dry Ice is not that dangerous if you usea little bit of common sense. Heck, the local supermarkets around here in Florida carry it. The average Floridian is an idiot so if they can handle dry ice, so can't most anyone.
Many of us Mandrake users don't feel the need to aggressively promote our Distro as much as some other users. I can compile a kernel or other software, build rpms, write init scripts, but I prefer to spend my time doing other things.
Not going to happen as there are no BF compliant equipement yet. Now there is no incentive to make BF compliant equipement. Factor in that it costs money to add a chip and now you see why everyone was waiting this one out.
My understanding is that it is easy to implement but costs to add BF detection. I am not aware of any computer tuners that implement it. Most were taking a wait and see before retooling thier plants. Even Major OEM's such as Sony, was taking a wait and see approach.
At the time of Locke, the Laws of Nature is the same as the Laws of Physics.
As far as the Laws of God, well, perhaps you have heard of the Ten Commandments. Locke was religious as were most men at his time. you may be an Athiest, but that is not a reason to condemn Locke.
Look, I don't support Bush or many of America's policies. I do support the country though and will not let foreign enemies and internal traitors sap our national identity.
Perhaps you are ashamed to be an American, but I am not ashamed. So go on and leave America for you are despised.
Legitimate to make up a name and use instead of the already accepted names to to force some pc bs on the rest of us? Do you like me to start calling you Axelin? And my reasoning is that it is not right for you to use harlequin because it is arrogant for you to use the name at the expensence of all the other jesters in the world.
I am well aware of 1984 and newspeak, and I will resist any attempt to marginalize Americans, or if you prefer, United States of America Citizens.
It is not the term itself that is so objectionable but the recognition of the ideas behind the creation of the term. Enemies, to the United States and for which it stands ( and I don't mean what Bush and all are trying to turn this country into), are behind this term. It is an insidious attack against us. Take away our cultural name and you weaken us if we allow it.
Many others are not maybe as consiously aware of the problem but still recognize it instinctively. Maybe some one else can better articulate my thoughts, but that is it in a nutshell.
Well, armour (ie blast doors) can block at least temporarely resist a Lightsaber. It is probably a matter of a large heat sink and density of matter. So a super conducting bar of Osmium would parry a Lightsaber. Forget that one would need the strength of Thor to swing the bar and need asbestos gloves to keep from burning your hands.
Ahh, young padawan, Star Wars originally had a G rating. I should know, I saw it when I was 5. It was only later that it was decided that choping off a guy's arm was a bit graphic.
I call BS. There are so many logical contradictions in your statements. DM and cool, DM and she, DM and boobies, She and and lets play, married and DM, married and lets play, it just does not compute. though only thing that makes sense is that you don't know how pregancy works.:-P

A lot of American manufacturers still observe a mandatory week or two of vaction the first week of July.

Corporations did not originally have the rights of persons nor did the founding fathers intend for it to be this way.
IBM is going to be going after Canopy.

It was always ice. I should remember seeig how I watched 27 times that summer it was released.
It can be easily explained by the fact that a sudden application of heat will cause ice to crack.
Well, armour (ie blast doors) can block at least temporarely resist a Lightsaber. It is probably a matter of a large heat sink and density of matter. So a super conducting bar of Osmium would parry a Lightsaber. Forget that one would need the strength of Thor to swing the bar and need asbestos gloves to keep from burning your hands.
I am an American. You don't like that, then you can use "U.S. Citizen" or some variant.
You are on an American board primarily frequented by Americans. You use that other term or even dignify the use, you get a big ol FU.
I am pretty sure that the Zaurus only makes use of the MMC mode as that is why SDIO cards don't work.
