I wonder how they are going to explain that to a judge.
Of course, we reserve the right to define what are "good laws" and what are "bad laws", and in what cases a particular law that we consider "bad" is suddenly "good" or vice versa...
yes, and we can change the bad laws when enough people agree with us. It is called democracy.
no , I am just one of those mililion other people who sent e-mails with resumes. It actually works better than the old fasion snailmail.
I have to admit that I actual send them to the hr department and not some random adress.
resumes aren't spam!!
threating a resume like spam is just really dumb.
the way bernard reacted was even dumber. I doubt that a ISP would disconnect someone for sending a resume, but they do for sending flames.
Most companies are happy with a resume even in the current market.
companies want resumes. we want laws against spam. we don't get those laws when they include resumes.

This sounds a lot like how vector graphics work. They don't transmit every pixel,but only send the coordinates and the instructions how to draw the image.
Somehow they managed to do the same for applications. maybe they only send the sourcecode and compile the code on location

"It expects now a stronger printing on the contents contents of to banish references to Sex supplies in the virtual Hinterzimmer" It is about the links to the sites. If someone want to find the sites they can , but they just want to make it harder.
What happened to choosing the best software that does the task that I require it to do? If the goal is for users to be 'free to share and change the software they use', then that should also include the freedom to mix and match software (be it proprietry or open source) to meet their requirements
if it is proprietary you aren't free to share and change the software. It isn't that complex to understand.
do you think that if suse and turbolinux would have made profit when they made a closed source operating system? we all know how that worked out of for beos and os/2.
what is the diference between start->find and scopeware,except that scopeware looks better.
the tree menu is intressting, but will confuse a lot of people.

Graphics are nice , but useabilty is more important in the long term.
It would be perfectly legal for me to grab a copy of the Linux source code, rip out all the credits as to who did what work
no , it is not ok to do that. you still have to mention who own the copyright in the place where you mention copyright,but you aren't required to mention it on the box or in ads.
from the GPL:
"1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice....."
this doesn't work because sourceforge is an end product. saying that it only can be used for opensource projects conflict with rule 6 of the opensource definition. "No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor"
you have to protect the right of the crackpots and hatemongers because there's no clean way to protect everyone's rights except theirs.
what about child pornography?
do we have to protect the rights child pornography makers becauce there's no clean way to protect everyone's rights except theirs? Or can we suddenly draw a line?
your example doesn't work for the simple reason that the people who being hated are being hated because the are different. they wonn't suddenly start looking and doing the same.
why do most slashdotters care about this? Are you all planning to make a site about killing people because they have a certain color or a certain believe?
I actually hoped that the average slashdotter was smart enough to not have racist views.
Slashdot Mirror
did you pay any attention?
they are using a bsd-like license. it isn't working , because some companies only take and don't give.
there is already a wine-like program which is populair in the corporate section. it is called windows.
the company who bought corel linux from corel is still working on it.
and the lindows distubution is being based on that distro.

the same side as always.
the 'slashdot community'is against unfair laws , but in favour of good laws.
destroying something without a good reason is just wrong.
the press release says that they got more than 90 employees. how are the going to support 120000 computers?
why does it show tux and not the nameless dolphin?isn't the reason why the dolphin was created.

but won't make some programmer suddenly interested on creating a driver for a device that is not worth his/her time and dedication
20000 dollar makes it worth a programmers time.
that is the way this world works.
A sucessful linmodem kernel module/anything will appear on the moment that some peoply really need it
I guess that someone really needs or else he wonn't be paying 20000 dollar for it
what is wrong with softmodem?

Simplest one is to create 5 versions of XP for different "markets
