I say fuck em. Just drop all packets from panama netblocks. Once the people realize their Internet is shrinking fast, they will pressure their government to quit being such asses.
This is a case of the government interfering with capitalism. A corrupt government will ruin any economic system, including your apparent preference, socialism.

That's interesting, but then you have traded one wind resistance for another. Instead of train/air you have air/tunnelwall. And you have many KM's of surface area to drag against now.
'Peer review' has classically meant a closed set of qualified peers.
It still does. Generally before a release of an open source project, a small set of core developers will read the other developer's code changes, and peer review them. The code is open to the public the whole time, but that doesn't change the fact that 95% of the code review comes from the core team. Being open can't harm the project, that's just icing on the cake.
Well, I can't speak for others, but when I say "free market", I mean a really free market, where supply and demand work like they are supposed to. This means preventing monopolies when they use their power to pervert the free market.
Remember, hacking into other people's computers is a crime, which you can go to jail for a really long time for.
You may think it is all fun and games "Hacking" the "Net", but when the cops bust down your door you may feel a little differently.
Doing a search on google for this tournament, it seems that people have been doing this for years! Just imagine all the lost hours of productivity when poor admins have to reinstall systems that were hacked. It's not their fault they ran Microsoft software.
I assume you mean free speech in regard to presenting information that amounts to a copyright control circumvention device.
I think that's a weak case since the supreme court set the precedent years and years ago that the first amendment is limited... a bad precedent, but a precedent.
The DMCA is likely constitutional. It's going to be hard to make a constitutional argument against it, in light of a hundred years of case law that uphold the idea that the 1st is limited, combined with the 2600 case also supporting it.
Maybe you meant a different part of the bill of rights. If so, let me know.
That's not the part I am talking about, I am talking about the part about dual booting and alternative OS. It does not forbid them from punishing OEMs from shipping a non-MS computer.
I'll try 6.1; I wasn't aware there was a 6.1 even... last I saw 6.03 was the latest.
Opera itself doesn't seem to take much memory or anything, however opera-motif-wrapper seems to be total shit. I don't know what it is or how to turn it off, but that seems to be the part causing the most problems.
Agreed... as in mutually came to a deal.... the court didn't order this part. Intel assumedly got something in return, though I admit I havn't kept up with the case (or even read the fucking article) so I don't know what.
couldn't figure out Bugzilla (not exactly the most user-friendly interface)
Thank You!
I thought I was the only person who hated Bugzilla's UI. I can use it, but I think it is incredibly messy and hard to use. When I want to do quick searches, I have to pretend to be entering a new bug, since the normal search form has way too many useless details on it.
Their support is a joke, even if you paid for Opera like I did. I told them that I have yet to get Java working in Opera for Linux (got it working in Mozilla though), and they basically said, "Yep, it's broke". Other people have reported getting it working, and they even have a little help file on it. Maybe I'm just dense.
I really like the browser, but there are a few things that are really bad that are turning me from it, the frequent crashes (poof, Opera's gone!) and lack of Java. I could give a rat's ass about DOM, fix the basics first!
Likewise you can get a machine with an big ol batch of CPUs, most of them disabled. Over, say, the Christmas rush you call your salesperson and have the other CPUs turned on for a month. Again: Strange but the corporate customers seem to like it.
Yes, but isn't it incredibly fucking stupid at the same time? How could any business be so gullible to fall for this sort of thing? Why should you pay for something that costs the selling company absolutely zero, since you already have it???
I told SGI to fuck off when they wanted an extra $1000 to have their compiler run on a 4 CPU system rather than a 2 CPU system. What you outline takes this bullshit to a whole new level though!

What a bunch of idiots in that Bill Gates fan club:
The term ANTITRUST comes from anti, meaning against, and trusts. Trusts were late-nineteenth-century corporate monopolies that dominated U.S. manufacturing and mining.
And that's from one of the "editors" in a story he posted.

I've seen it happen in Linux before, definitely hardware related. It isn't common though.
Best?

You should try Red Hat apparently, since almost nothing will need to be compiled from source, and it's all easy to configure.

They forbade punishing due to dual boot, but they didn't forbid punishing for completely leaving Windows off.
So, if I read correctly, MS can still require OEMS to put Windows on every computer they sell.
This accomplishes nothing.
Cool. Thanks for your reply/corrections. :) Now I won't look so stupid bashing an old version of bugzilla.
Scsi cabling is still some of a black magic,
No, it isn't.
It's all normal signal theory.
Oh yeah the new search is much better. Now Red Hat just needs to upgrade. :)
The javascript bug entry form used to not work in Opera; don't know if this is still the case.
I'll try 6.1; I wasn't aware there was a 6.1 even... last I saw 6.03 was the latest.
