Welcome to corrupted as hell Southern Europe. This is pretty tame to stuff that actually happens there. Worth noting that Ireland is NOT in that basket.
or you have the supermarket, where everything from beer and wine and bread to meat and frozen goods and ice cream and baking supplies and pet food and household supplies (and sometimes, clothing, home appliances, etc) are bundled together under the same roof.
In some states.
I spent an age walking around a supermarket in Maryland looking for the booze before I twigged.
Ah yes... switch away from Windows. Sure, sure. Windows sucks. They should switch to OS X, clearly. Linux has had over a decade to try to iron-out an environment as a mainstream alternative to Windows... and have fallen flat on their faces so many times it is difficult for even a Windows-hater like myself to recommend Linux as an alternative. OS X is the Unix that "works" out of the box.
Minor problem - switching to OS X means changing all your hardware.
Then you misunderstood. The whole point of the GPL is to give the user the freedom to modify the software. TiVoisation prevents that, thus breaking the spirit, if not the letter, of GPLv2.
They did not follow the unwritten spirit of "make no money!"
This is you hearing ghostly voices in your head and has nothing to do with the GPL.
The problem being that just because you think existing copyright law is wrong doesn't make it go away.
You claim that you wont assert your rights but without a license (which could be "Do what you want with my code,") no responsible person will be able to use it.
You realize that if we were to effectively fight jihadist terrorism, Dearborn, MI, as well as various other locations in the US, would have to be depopulated with most of the inhabitants shot, deported, or jailed, right?
You are completely correct. It is inevitable that the Muslims in the West will rise and try to end free society. Hell they even say that they will do it! In future we will face a battle like Spain did, eliminate the Muslims or die.
Slashdot Mirror
By measuring the charge?
How do we measure charge?
According to the source Ireland (score 69) is slightly less corrupt than Spain (65) or Portugal (63).
I cannot see how you can claim "Ireland is NOT in that basket."

you'll rarely buy any heavy goods.
We're talking groceries here.
Not "I'm just off down the shops to pick up a fridge-freezer".
(Of course all my heavy hoods are bought on the internet and delivered. Do you really try to cram them in your car?)
Tell us again about those naughty spendthrift PIGS?

That'll put the costs up a bit.
Yeah, and I'm sure you could fix it with an apropriate hosts file.
There is only one tiny bit that you can't modify.
One tiny bit?
t is not possible to replace the kernel on a Series2 TiVo since the PROM requires that the kernel be cryptographically signed with a key from TiVo

The kernel is "one tiny bit"?
The folllowed the spirit as I understood it.

Missing the point.
The GPL prevents you from restricting the freedoms of others.
The problem being that just because you think existing copyright law is wrong doesn't make it go away.
You claim that you wont assert your rights but without a license (which could be "Do what you want with my code,") no responsible person will be able to use it.
Indeed. So people should stop pretending the GPL is about freedom and admit it's about restriction.
So you stand for the freedom to enslave?
Remember GPLv3 was all about clobbering TiVo even though they were following the spirit of the rules as most people understood them.
No. TiVo followed the letter, they clearly didn't follow the spirit.
Debian people should pick names that have positive, bright associations among most people
Sez who? Someone using the nick "Trivial File Transfer Protocol"?
Debian people should do whatever the fuck they want.
Population of Germany - 81.7 million
Population of the world - 6973.7 million
I don't think losing Germany would make much of an impact.
Incorrect calculation.
GWP: 70,201 GUSD
GDP of Germany: 3,604 GUSD
I.E. Germany is about 5% of the world enconomy (for 1% of the population).
You don't just chuck away one dollar in every 20.
"It looks like you are too cheap to buy real statistical software. Would you like a loan?"
But that would be debt. And debt is bad. According to the idiots who wrote the "study".
Have you read the resolution? Can you point to the language that applies "Muslim blasphemy laws" to non-muslims?
You have zero facts and don't understand the subtleties and intent of documents unless they are written at a childish level for you.
So that'd be "no" then.
Muslim blasphemy laws are being applied to non-Muslims (see UN HRC Resolution 16/18)

I reiterate. Please seek medical attention. You are delusional.

At the moment the Us is on a course to becoming progressively Islamicised under the guidance of Leftist "political correctness".
You are insane. Please seek medical help.
Yes, that's what I thought, but I don't have my N9 any more and jbolden (176878) sounded like he knew what he was talking about.
Of course it can. Have you never seen a Nokia N9?
Yes I have and the N9 didn't use X11. It used the Qt framebuffer driver.
Ok, my bad. Didn't realise the rot had set in so soon :)
X11 couldn't possibly run this GUI: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-lVkBCUrAY
Of course it can. Have you never seen a Nokia N9?
X11 does not support touch.
Huh? Now you're claiming that neither the N9 nor event the N900 exists.
X11 does not support 1/4 sizing screens
etc.
Once again - never seen a Nokia Maemo or Meego phone?
