I was after some sort of applet or flash animation that explains what is happening as it happens, as simply from reading and doing the practical exercise I am still finding the concepts confusing.
The reasoning is that distributions that offer repositories only do so because they generally host modified versions of software.
Distributions that don't do that, don't tend to offer repositories.
Why should any one company be charged with hosting every other companies compiled code when they gain nothing from doing so?
Looking at the point child made, that Opera provide a debian repository, that isn't any better than having programs selfupdate. Self update or add a new repository for each individual piece of software...
Even ignoring all of that, I much prefer the model of updating each software individually as I prefer the greater level of control.
The only reason some distributions do that is because they provide modified copies of the software. When you update OO.org on Ubuntu, you are using Ubuntu OO, not normal vanilla coming from the developers OO.
Obviously, that wouldn't work well in the commercial closed source market.
Yep, Holocust denial is even illegal. It may be despicable, but I should be able to voice my thoughts(not that I hold those particular thoughts at all)
Scotmen hold exactly the same opinion as their English brothers. Please.

What rubbish. I regularly play Quake on my laptop, which obviously isn't a CRT, and it looks anything but choppy, and just as good as a high priced CRT.
You people are as bad as the folk who buy gold plated audio cables.
First, you're not yet an Australian. Technically and legally you might be, but you have a long ways to go before being one culturally. You also have absolutely no idea how most australians feel on the matter. I suggest you look into why the rating is held up in the first place. (hint: because of one man disagreeing with the majority)
You're also exaggerating the differences between the US and Aus greatly. The difference isn't anything like you imply.

That isn't interactive...

Instead of being a condescending prick, you may want to acknowledge that AC has a point.
Would really like to understand the underlying hardware better, but have found the concepts difficult so far.
Can anyone recommend a good perhaps interactive tutorial that explains these concepts?
Huh, I only remembered the gnomes when they were announced.
The Producers had to change the swastika to some sort of infinity symbol. I thought it was very sad when I saw the posters in Berlin.
You can't deny that there are substantial limitations on FOS in Germany.

Err, not quite.
I lived there for almost 2 years, and was appalled at the restrictions you have in place.
In fact, wasn't there a case just recently of nazi gnomes being made illegal? gnomes for chrissakes.
Not to mention The Producers having to sacrifice their story in order t screen in Germany.
IANAL either, I've just done some research like you as well.
Australia is a common law country, and so previous case law is very significant.
There have been quite a few cases ruling in favor or people to say what they like within the normal confines, i.e. hatespeech being disallowed etc.
I'm not going to go digging on Austlii, but I know that there have been enough cases that out right to FOS is generally safe.
Are you aware of the shit you write sometimes?
We do have freedom of speech
BS.
Germany has freedom of speech like Iran has freedom of press.
When I can paint a satirizing picture of Hitler with all swastikas displayed, then you might have a point.
Of course we protect Freedom of Speech.
Not through bills or acts, but through common caselaw.
It isn't anywhere as good as in the US or so, but we do have it.
16.11 unique bits.
I suspect mainly because I have Quake Live installed.
I am also running Firefox Portable on Windows Server R2.
R2 should report the same as window 7 does, and firefox portable should not be able to be distinguishable from Firefox.
My resolution of 1680x1050 may also be less common.
After turning off JS, it became more interesting.
Still 10 unique bits, and only 1 in 1093 other browers did one have the same fingerprint.
I guess my firefox portable is giving off a unique string.
The BFG9000 is not a firearm.

Untrue. Here in Australia we say movies, and I think candians may as well. It is mainly the europeans who say films.
Just a note, but AC is correct.
People don't get punished for DOWNLOADING in the US, but for UPLOADING. I.E. 'making available'.
None of the RIAA stories are about people DOWNLOADING.
wiki is not the be all and end all of information n the net.
You should curb your dependency,
Super Mario Bros. 3: 393 KB. An Eminem album compressed with Ogg Vorbis or AAC: 70,000 KB
Seriously? SMB:3?
Modern Warfare 2 is almost 20GB.
So there you go.

The sun/oracle merger would not violate any rules. It's just that the EC does not like the idea of it.
The EC has to stop interfering in things it does not understand.
First the ridiculous Microsoft case, and now this?
