I look forward to the day when it will hurt the US not to deal with Cuba; given its current popularity among European and Canadian travellers
Please, no!!!!
The popularity among European and Canadian travellers is precisely that it isn't overrun with white haired American travellers like the rest of the Caribean. The day the US drops its embargo is not a day to look forward to!
About time you updated your knowledge with a bit of "2 pints of lager and a packet of crisps" and "Teachers".

Want proof? Look at ITV and Channel 5.
It seems to be implicit in your comment from its absense that if you want counter-proof, you need only look at Channel 4. BBC these days (especially BBC1 and BBC3) is full of tired old Property development and child rearing reality shows. While Channel 4 isn't much better in prime time, they do tend to be the ones who take the risks in new drama, documentaries later on at night and my favorite, the 3 minute slot for amateur short films/mini-documentaries after the news.
GPLv3 will need to be compatible with GPLv2, so I doubt it will address those patent issues the same way as Apachev2 does. It will probably be reworded to allow compatibility with Apachev2 licenses though, so as long as developers have kept the "or later as published by FSF" clause from the GPLv2, their code will automatically become linkable with Apachev2 code.
This report was written in April 2003, according to the first page
Strange, they have a press release on their website dated April 6, 2005 about the report being commissioned by Microsoft. Either Microsoft got ripped off by recycling an old report, or one of those dates is wrong.
Where in East London would that be? London does not have anywhere near the shortage of jobs that some places up North where the BNP has a real chance of getting in do, and most of East London is multicultural enough that the BNP's support will be negligible. BNP strongholds tend to be predominently white working class areas with high unemployment, and have an Asian enclave nearby. That just doesn't exist in London.
PGP keys are free, unlike code-signing certificates from trusted CAs, so you can afford for each developer to have their own key, and if they are lost or fall into the wrong hands, then only that developer's key needs to be revoked and reissued, not the whole project's.
letting the war drag on for years - I don't see any sign of the end yet, do you? - CHECK
allowing 50,000+ American dead - most of these were in the later stages of the Vietnam war, the first three years or so had a low bodycount on both sides. We haven't reached that point in Iraq yet, but so far the bodycount on both sides has been much higher than at the same point in Vietnam - CHECK
CBS news has reported that a U.S. satellite had filmed the shooting and that it had been established the car carrying Calipari was travelling at more than 60 miles (96 km) per hour
Well duh! He is Italian, what do you expect?
Maybe they should send US soldiers around the world before deploying them, to get a feel for identifying behaviours of various allies or enemies they might meet in battle. It would have been plainly obvious to anyone who has driven on Italian motorways that someone approaching a bend on an onramp at more than 60mph, that in the expert testimony of a former Highway Patrol "speed expert" turned US soldier would not be possible to take safely at 50mph, must be Italian.
Where the hell is Redding? Do you mean Reading? I imagine its quite a journey from there to Gatwick, involving several changes, the quickest route is most likely into Paddington then tube to Victoria where you can catch the only "Gatwick Express" I know of.
That interpretation is wrong. If something is licensed under GPL v2 now, you cannot take that away, unless a court rules that GPL v2 is invalid (which was the original justification for including the "or later" clause). So noone is pulling the rug out from anyone.
Requiring people to open all their changes or pay for them will put a
lot of businesses off when it comes to dealing with GPL'd software.
Free Software is not about attracting businesses. It is about Freedom. If businesses do not like Freedom, then Free Software is better off without them.
Video needs to be in a very specific format to play off a memory card: MPEG4, 29.97 fps, exact resolution
Could this be the real reason for the delayed European launch? Video captured from PAL is generally 25fps, so would need framerate conversion, which unless you're prepared to throw lots of CPU cycles at it and wait a few days, tends to come out looking jerky.
Not sure why people think they need to have Firefox installed since it's nothing but a resoure hog and rarely provides any extra benefit. Real men use telnet!
If the advertising companies ever cop on to the fact that many/most people never even see their ads, won't they drop them and leave unfunded?
Alternatively they could switch to less annoying forms of advertising than popping up extra windows in your face, and deal with the fact that not everyone is going to want to click on their ad.
multimap.com has had satellite images linked into their maps of the UK for years now. Of course, it's UK only (maybe other European countries by now), so doesn't count on Slashdot, unlike Google's US only service.
Tried it? It works perfect for me. Using indentation you can actually see the structure of your code. If it looks good, it is good. No need to hunt down that missing bracket.
I've never tried Python, but I've written enough makefiles to know that giving any significance to whitespace is a bad idea. For the last 10 years, I've used an editor with syntax highlighting and automatic indentation, so the missing brackets show themselves quickly.
I did this with my previous laptop when the registry got corrupted and Windows refused to boot. It was already dual boot, and I managed to recover the data from the NTFS partition using Linux tools, then reformatted and went all Linux. My current one came with XP Pro preinstalled, which has so far survived due to the fact that last time I checked, some drivers I need weren't available on Linux yet. I always keep a Knoppix CD around in case of the inevitable day that Windows refuses to come up.

Moderation should apply to all dupes, better still, they should automatically get modded down or deleted.
I don't know what you were exposed to in the womb, but it certainly didn't do your sense of humour any good.
Still, I'm not sure that I'd like to have one of these in my laptop, unless it was as a form of permanent contraception.

Killing a million Iraqi's is not going to make Iraq a more appropriate place to send your kids.

As well as. Which keeps both seasoned GIMP users and Photoshop/PSP refugees happy.
