Strange this was modded up when the author obviously didn't read the complete submission, as it clearly states that there was an "N/A" in the signature block.
There doesn't seem to be a huge lack of free products that ship with most Linux distros, and I don't use it as a general OS enough to point to anything specific, hence most of my list (but not all) is Windows only. Sorry.
IP violations are taken way too seriously, and rape is taken far, far, far too lightly. My suggestions for a single infringement of each go something like this: IP violation - 6 months Rape - 60 yrs or the death penalty
The biggest 'innovation' I've seen since I started 'browsing' the web circa 1997 is Tabbed Browsing - which just came about. And that is arguably not an innovation in browsing itself. Back then we had instant messaging (and its precursor IRC), e-mail, point-and-click browsing, plugins (a la Flash), FTP (for P2P's precursor: 'leeching'). What do we have on top of that now? Just more crap, and some UI changes. I'm gonna play Andreeson-loyal.
I don't think they'll ever replace hardcopy, but there are benefits to ebooks.
I don't have a dedicated ebook reader, so some of these benefits won't apply, but here is why I like ebooks: I can carry literally 100s of ebooks on a compact flash card. I can read from any book, at any time, without bringing anything out of the ordinary (assuming one always carries thier PDA). I don't have to bring a ton of books anytime I travel. There are quite a few ebooks in the public domain, and I dont have to leave my house to get ahold of them.
Of course, not all books that one could find in a library can be found in ebooks form, but that is number is always increasing.
How does one get a "two year investigation" from something that "began in 2002", when it is only the middle of 2003? Even if it was begun Jan 1st, 2002, that still puts it at less than 1.5yrs. Gotta love they way they teach math these days.
Lost respect for Mozilla's leadership?! I didn't see mozilla.org leading a spam campaign.
99% of users don't call it "Mozilla Firebird"
Exactly, just like they don't call it Mozilla SeaMonkey, so the db people shouldn't trip. In fact, if they hadn't started this mess (yes, they started it), the Firebird name would have barely seen the light of day.
It's not like Mozilla.org invested in a million-dollar ad campaign with the name Firebird.
And neither did FirebirdSQL, so that is not only a non-sequitor, but is in defense of Mozilla.org.
this kind of dispute is bad for the community, and it reflects very poorly on all involved with the Mozilla side of things.
Apparently FirebirdSQL is rubber and Mozilla.org is glue, since everything bounces off the db and sticks to the browser.

Contracts don't need to be signed to be valid, just agreed to.
The company could argue that she filled out the form, turned it in, and forgot to sign, but her "intent" was to submit a completed form.
