If we don't know the answer as to what is causing global warming, then there is a simple answer as to how to respond.
Look at our two choices: Do nothing. If man is responsible then global temperatures will rise. If nature is responsible then global temperatures will rise.
Reduce/eliminate emissions and maybe scrub greenhouse gasses from the air. If man is responsible for global warming then temperatures will stop rising or decrease. If nature is responsible then temperatures may still rise though we may still be able to prevent it.
Well, Real has been the only that ever officially supported Linux. Sure they have been lukewarm at times and they screwed up royally on windows with thier installation, but compared to the other options... Microsoft and Aplle spit on us. Real may only give us a nod of acknowldgement, but they didn't actively despise us.
I could always legally play Real Media file in Linux. Since Mplayer came about I could play Windows Media and Quicktime, but it is legally shady question and it is a pain in the rear at time to play some files.
One is not required to enforce patents. It is questionable ethically to authorize a patent for personal use let it get popular and then change your policy where everyone has to pay.

Also just a few other points, X is not bloated. I have used on 16mb PDA's and felt as smooth as PalmOS. Even WinCE (orwhatever MS calls its embedded windows) or Qtopia on heftier hardware isn't as nice.
Depending on how you define "free" there are two implementations though one is a developmental split from the other. In fact, how XFree86 handled developement is about the only problem X has.
The grandparent seems to a very clever troll. X by design is different from explorer.exe and Aqua. The various desktops can emulate behavior very close to MacOS or Windows. What you are used to makes for the most easy to use. Some of the behaviors of Windows are very aggravating to me though.
Why is it that when a new window gets spawned it grabs focus? I hate that, nor is thier a way to change that behavior. I suspect MacOS is similiar but don't know for certain. Most Window Managers can change the behavior of window focus though.
And to answer those troll that trot out consistency with GTK and Qt, guess what! Apple (a la itunes) and MS (a la Office 2003) lack it as well.
The problem is how to create polish without having to publish your changes. That pretty much means starting from scratch. When was the last time that MS ever released a good 1.0 product?
Once they offer products for thier own version of Linux, they have opened Pandora's box. Just what sort of Monoply lawsuits do you think will be spawned if they only offer thier Office suite with MSLinux?
1) depends on What you mean but both KDE and GNOME it the default style have the minimize maximize and close button in the upper right hand corner. There is a taskbar with a window list, Start button (either a K or a Foot by default though many distros change the icon) and the time. The file browser works the same as Windows explorer whether konqueror or nautilus. I doubt you could get it much closer.
2)Mozilla/Firefox works fine for my bank sites. There was a bref time when one bank updated thier servers and I had to use Netscape 7 instead. The one site that didn't work (I think it was Weight Watchers) I changed the user agent string. It is easier to do in Konqueror but can be done Moz.
3)Most distro's have an update option to the install where it goes through and resets the default system settings. There are ghosting tools out there though they could be a bit easier to setup.
You hope. If they can crack DNS then they can crack Verisign or whoever to get a "valid" certificate. A well coordinated attack with a bit of planning could wipe the accounts of millions.
LCD will scale by half very well (actually is by dvidends of 2 so half, quarter etcetera). So a 1280x960 display can show a 640x480 image very well or a 1600x1200 will scale to 800x600 well.
The problem is very apparent- you almost never see 1280x960 instead it is 1280x1024 so that never scales well. 1600x1200 is expensive unless it is a laptop display.
Then you are a fool. Anybody with a brain makes sure thier name is on the patent application. There have been a number of lawsuits over this and invariably the employees win.
Don't be a sucker. Corps have zero loyalty to you, so don't bother to have loyalty to them.
Actually the TFA says that it depends. In the court cases it was more that it was unreasonable to copy the database of phone number wholesale and market a competing product. If instead say a EULA on retail software forbade publishing benchmarks, it would likely get kicked out of court.
There is a lack of consideration for EULA's on retail software. Money exchanges hands before the contract terms are presented. Then EULA's take away your rights while not giving anything in exchange (I do not consider the right to use the software a fair exchange because you already purchased the right for that at the store when you bought the software). Presenting the EULA to sign on to thier servers is no more enforceable when that is the only way to play.
To use GPL software you are not required to accept the GPL, hence it is not an End User License Agreement. The GPL is a distribution License. If you want to distribute GPL software, whether you give a copy to a friend or you repackage like Red Hat, then you must accept the GPL, because otherwise copyright Law prohibits you from doing so.
See the GPl is pretty clever, there is actual consideration as you get something (distribution License) for publishing your source code.
On retail software, there is no consideration with the EULA. You have already paid money and the EULA is not giving you anything further than what you already have.
It is not a crisis, but it is a serious problem better faced today than in thirty years.
Think of it like this: You are missing a shingle on your house. It is a problem but a rather manageable one. You could ignore and probably be ok for a little while, but it is eventually going to escalte until it is a huge problem. Ignore the shingle missign and you will get leaks and then structural damage to the roof and possibly the walls, and you see where this is going.
That is basically the situation with Social Security. The problem is Bush's plan is that he is basically only benefiting the very well to do while screwing the poor and middle class. Bush is like the General in the movie Ants. He gives nice sounding speeches, but the underlying plan is really crazy if you closely examine it.
Recently the HD in my old notebook failed so I put in an Ubuntu Live disk. It worked and even got the battery monitor working, but was a major pain to use a usb key with. I tried Mandrake Move, and it just worked (except for the battery monitor).
And these teams have strong armed local, state and federal goverment into funding thier stadiums and enforcing thier trademarks. There is definately an argument that the public should get something back.
I'm feeling Lucky. While it might have been nice to include a link to Evolution, if you read the Blog entry it had a link to Evolution. Additionally, a very easy google search turns it up as the first hit. You could even replace Novell with Linux or GNOME.
But you want a sentence?
Evolution is an email and PIM program that is directly comparable to Outlook including being able to connect to Outlook Exchange servers.
They managed to get things right with Tribes2, but then Sierra cut off Dynamix...
All the other games though was idiotic. Release a port Months if not years after the Windows port, only support on x86 and then wonder why noone wants to buy it?

If you had RTFA, you would see that all Speakeasy has done is created a plugin. You still have to install the regular version of Firefox.
And the Plugin just adds some bookmarks and change an icon or two (at least that is what they tell us).
Hence, why didn't IBM port it?
Evaluate your mood. Smile for ten minutes. reevaluate your mood. Amazing that you feel better, huh?
Noone is saying smile when you are at your grandma's funeral, but for everyday stuff it wouldn't hurt to smile more.
Though the larger the sample the more valid the statiscal results.
Of course these things are innately biased. Would you answer a phone survey? So who would? Perhaps gullible idiots?
Err, you will stil need to mod the bin file to be executable.

That is trademarks.

Well they have some plain CD players but any that support palying digital files support both MP3 and ATRAC.
And if you have noticed, the MPAA et al have been very careful not to bring up such a court case.
The DMCA may be law, but that does not mean it is constitutional.

It is called an estate. And Judges often frown on this practice. Regardless what happens to Stan, Marvel will bleed.
