I mean come on, that's pathetic, truly pathetic. Are you going to be boycotting the FSF when they sue someone for violating the GPL? Why not, its the exact same thing...
Eu poking their noses in? Presumably they should just leave American corporations alone because....uh, they`re american or something.
Yes, the EU should bug out becuase MS is an American corporation. Period.
If they go ahead with this outrage, the US should retaliate by banning the sale of their damn Airbus airplanes over here, since they are directly subsudized by their governments (since they are unable to compete on a level playing field).
Richard gets his email by building a compressed GNU zip archive on his mail server of his incoming mail, and transferring it to his laptop -- in our case, via an intermediate floppy. He then reads and queues responses on his laptop for later transmission by reversing the process.
Don't any Linux email clients have replication functionality?
Information wants to be free and all that... I mean, if it was just copyrighted music you wouldn't be worrying about it, so what's the difference if its some code?
I know what peer to peer file sharing is thank you. Just because you share something peer to peer instead of through a server doesn't make it any less illegal.
1) How do you know what filename to search for? 2) How do you know what filename to search for? 3) May or may not be legal. 4) I thought we were talking about Napster here.... they obviously designed the system to only share.mp3 files. Wrapster is just a hack. 5) Probably not legal. 6) How do you know what filename to search for?
I didn't fucking say anything against peer to peer file sharing. I said Napster, which is a system that will only let you share files that end with.mp3 and will only let you search for files by name, doesn't have very fucking many legal usages.
It's about exploring new ideas in software, both in the development approach and in the software components themselves.
Oh, so its a research project? Silly me, I thought they were actually trying to get a piece of software out the door (well, actually I quit thinking that a long time ago, as well...)
My copy of the Oxford English Dictonary traces the use of the word piracy in the sense of presenting someone elses work as your own or as an unauthroized reporduction as dating back to the 17th century.
I know RMS has his own little agenda, but don't look foolish by saying that by properly using the term piracy you are equating something with kidnap and murder. Words can have multiple meanings, you know?
Sounds great, after all information wants to be free...
I think someone should also start up a net to facilitate the trading of people's medical records, details of their contacts with their lawyers, and credit card numbers.
Slashdot Mirror
. I thought Slashdot served all ads from images.slashdot.org, and I thought they were all related to open source projects.
Yes, such as the famous "Open Fawking DSL" project.

Seem like a really bad name for these things? I mean, they work exactly the way they are intended to. So why call them a bug?

As soon as you explain to me how to prove a negative, I'd love to...

Who end up building Skynet and starting global themonucular war and make it so The Terminator has to go back in time and kill John Connor?
You are afc, and I want my $5.
Hell, that means we can put off IPv6 for another 20 years or so, right? :)
37 bugs for Win2000??? Last I heard it was over 65,000.
You heard wrong.
I thought you all sad some problems with gif files for some reason or another???

Name one other commercial web browser developed using Open Source Techniques. You can't? Sounds like "research" to me

Although I cannot stand the RIAA, the more I think about it something just seems wrong about Napster making a profit off of someone elses work
Good thing Napster has proven just be be a money suck for VC capital then, huh?
Quoting Claude Raines from Casablanca..

I'd love for an IT union to form, so that I could have the pleasure of not joining it.
Wow, you have one whole data point. That's enough to draw all sorts of conclusions from.
No, I already knew that.
