Our legislators have such a poor idea of how freenet works (worse even than mine,) that I don't think they *can* write a law against it. A law against software that enables two remote computers to connect to each other without both of them knowing who the other is?
The question is rather how many people will accidentally install the Firebird RDBMS thinking it is a web browser. Then start using is and still thinking it is a web browser.
Think of the dissappointment their web experience will be...
If the "CD"s are going to contain Windows Media Files in the second session, does this mean that each CD now will contain less music? I mean - an audio CD will only contain up to a set amount of music.
It is also useful to use different compilers in this respect. I have had much success with compiling source code on both a gcc compiler and a Borland c compiler. The reason being that different compilers spew out warnings for different things, and that some compiler warnings are easier to understand than others.
If slapping.NET on so many Microsoft products has confused people as to what.NET actually means, what effect will slapping 200x on so may Microsoft products do to the average consumer's understanding of natural numbers?
"The important thing," he explains, "is that Word and Excel (and of course the new XDocs thing) can export their data as XML without information loss..."
Does this mean that MSO will have the same support for XML as currently for RTF? In that case I'm not that excited. If the default will be to save as MS-word format, and not XML (or MS-XML as the case may be), then we are no better off. Only Microsoft is, as they are now able to import OpenOffice/StarOffice documents.
It's sort of like when Word could read WordPerfect documents in the old days.
A conservative linear prediction based on your data for size versus version number shows that Phoenix will disappear somewhere between version 1.7 and 1.8. However, as the data seems to follow a quadratic curve rather than a linear one, the disappearance is likely to happen a lot sooner.
Of course this is important; on Slashdot in particular. It makes those transparent plexi-class casings all that more attractive. If I could only get glow-in-the-dark IDE cables I'd be set.
I would say this is a way to tell people that there are not that many applications comming with it, so you should be prepared to create whatever you need. I don't think they would reject anyone wishing to buy it.
One good reason to donate money for a downloaded ISO instead of byuing one is to avoid taxes. Importing software over the net is currently free, but we pay about 20% sales tax for shrinkwrapped software - in Norway that is. I would rather my money go to the creator of the ISO.
Let's not forget that we are talking about FREE software. We are paying for the service of getting it assembled, not for the software itself. Even if you could find the parts to your car for free, most people would probably want to hire a mechanic to do the assembly.
Slashdot Mirror
This is a GOOD court case. It has the potential to show the world that patents of this sort should never be granted.
This is the fastest desktop ever. Of course a recompile can be done in minutes.
So which book did you read? When did Elvis enter the scene?
Just live with a couple of over paid star actors less, and you could afford it...
We are the knights who say "NIE".
It certainly works wonders for Slashdot flames!

I like the the name pBox, as in pizzaBox.

I wasn't able to find this (DonkeyHumpingMaidens.com)
site. It sure sounds interesting!

There is an open source implementation of distributed login here [sourceid.org].

Surely you can get it to forward 'I Love You', by designing a mail filter which takes this action based on the subject line:)

Because it gives me a bigger kernel. I've now finally managed to exceed 1MB! Small kernels are for embedded systems;)
Not if you have more than one company whos share is atleast as big as the market share of any other company in the market;)
