could not agree more. slackware is the most logical gnu/linux distribution i've ever used. simple and easy. sure, redhat/fedora might run (almost) out of the box, but if you want to change something, its harder than with slack.
If i remember corretcly, The buissness model for Lindows was to run Windows software on free software (gnu/linux) - hence the name Lin(LINux)dows(winDOWS) (duh). The name was originally supposed to make you associate it with windows. Anyone honestly claiming otherwise is IMHO full of it. Sure, i have no problem with this and i dont think Microsoft should be able to force Lindows to change its name. But i really dont like how Lindows "sort of" denies this now, when they couldnt make the technology work as they hoped it would.
In my experience, third party apps & crappy drivers are responsible for 95% of my crashes, atleast since i switched to win2k. Win95/98 on the other hand..
I dont have the energy to read the article but how would FBI, The US Goverment and the US public feel about non-us goverments policing p2p-nets? Would they be outraged or welcome the "help"? The Internet is public domain, not US property.

Why is this really interesting? Open Source / Free software is designed for forking. Why dont they just call it "RedHat kernel" or something?
Its the main headline on the BBC-World news. they even interviewed an empolyee from eEye.

Flame on.
IANAL, but the GPL is a license, nothing else. You cant lose your copyright just because the license is invalid.
"wordpad.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows.
You need to restart the program.
An error log is being created."

Who will buy me a new cdrom-drive when these "oval, pill shaped CD-ROMS" destroy my current one?
"Ever wondered how that pretty case on your desk came to be?"

"Is SCO going out of business? No, we're going back into business. We will also increase shareholder value over the next year," McBride concluded.

Do they count Office as a "third party app."?

Just look at the hardware market. Like motherboards and bios-updates.
Linux is GPL'ed, and tivo is in compliance with the GPL.

Isnt it illegal to "own" the employees free time like this? I would think it atleast would fall under any anti-slave laws or something.
dont you just love webmasters that dont know how to configure their webservers?
