Funny how Record industries will pay to get thier music played on FM Radio, but on the net, they will just start their own partially owned net Radio stations and crunch the little guys.
I've never had problems with dependencies under Debian, nor have I had to break apt. And I haven't had a problem not finding software in the official apt repositories, but if I did, there are plenty of other repositories I can use.
Debian does have a slow release cycle, but I've found testing and unstable to be very reliable.
Also, Debian stable will always work--there just aren't as many new applications for it.
Finally, I haven't used Slackware's (or SuSE's) package manager. I'll try it sometime, but I can't see how it's better than apt. I do believe Slack's package management it's better than RedHat's--it would have to try pretty hard to be worse.
I disagree. This is a classic examply of why people should use Debian (or Debian-based distros) and only install software via apt. Then they can be assured the software will work (except for rare circumstances with packages under testing).
I doubt RealPlayer is available in the official apt repositories, but there are probably other plugins that fit this example and are in the repositories.
No browser is trying to squeeze the others out of business. None is using dirty trick, sly marketing, or deliberate incompatibilities to gain market share. None is linked to other software - and most importantly, none is linked directly into the OS. Even Apple's own browser is merely a straight option from those available, with no special advantages.
Microsoft is forcing third parties to get their software approved by Microsoft. So there is no ban, but MS despises the GPL, so I would assume MS will refuse to inspect GPL'd applications. I may be wrong.
But Judge Joseph L Tauro said because the subpoenas were issued in Washington, DC they cannot be served in Massachusetts.
This really isn't a 'setback' at all. It was simple a procedural error. Those subpoenas will be filed again but this time in Massachusetts. Then they will be served.
This means the RIAA must file for subpoenas in hundreds of courts, not a single court.
Adobe Photoshop now works under Wine, thanks to Disney of all people. Also, Open Office can create PDFs.
And if you mean Macromedia Flash, I expect SVG to replace it in a couple years. Of course, that means there will need to be a comparable editor for SVG.
I'd have to disagree. See this. Based on that, you can make an argument that they have similar amounts of money and influence, but you certainly can't make a case that MS has more of both than IBM.
Let's put a different spin on this--you come into the house as a utility worker, and get the customer to sign a paper that, among other things, allows you to report materials that seem to be infringing on copyrights. The person gave consent, either on paper or with an EULA (it's doubtful about the enforceability of those in court, but we'll assume they're enforceable).

They aren't going to market anything to end-users and corporations until a suite of individual applications is ready.
YOu have about 20 replies mentioning the Googlebar. However, what features of the IE Google Toolbar do you miss?
The Mozilla marketing mailing list has pretty much decided that we aren't going to push for anything until we get a suite of individual applications.

Also, see why people are switching to Mozilla Firebird.
If AOL wins this case, I can see numerous websites simply not supporting AOL.
I heard somewhere about a guy who was making a desktop environment using Mozilla as the backend.
I get my Start/Launch/[Whatever] menu from a left-click on the desktop in KDE.
Or at least have an option somewhere to switch them.
Regular coffee doesn't cause 3rd-degree burns. She was suing over the extent of the damage done to her, not due to the fact that some damage was done.
Ahh--I have to copy the URL to the clipboard and paste it in the URL bar. Seems to me like I'm browsing text files.
What article on Freshmeat? It would be nice to have a link.

I don't find the Gimp unintuitive, but then, I've never used Photoshop, so I don't know if some things act differently.
I've always doubted that.
