For only $5? you damned near spend that in gas! (at least in the san fran area you wuold) After a certain point, it's a matter of deminishing returns. Oh well, I'm sure they feel better, at least!
Then again, I have found that treating my userbase as people, and not as trained monkeys, tends to have better results than trying to be mister 31337 BOFH.
You have him confused with Larry Wall, Linus Torvalds, Richard Stallman...in other words, people who are both famous and productive.
ESR is just an asshat who converted the jargon file into an warblogger manifesto and scammed a shiatload of money off of VA Research/software/fartbiters.
If you're going to worship someone, worship someone worthwile, like those I've mentioned, or maybe someone more obscure like Ghandi or Martin Luther King or something....
Everyone I know (outside of my family *shiver*) drinks microbrews or imports.
What's scary here is that in rural arizona, budweiser is pretty much the only game in town. I think you can get rolling rock (yuppie budwiesr) and that's about the it of it.
I suspect there's a lot more people who drink beer as opposed to people who enjoy beer (for its' own sake, instead of just for shitfaced sakes). That probably explains the sales of budweiser.
Anyone have any ideas as to why it is that suddenly; projects that are integral to the OSS movement (X, apache) are being converted to signifigantly more conservative licenses?
Are we re-playing the unix fragmentation of the late 80's?
Here in the states, at least, the clueless ones have shown a marked tendency to listen to the "expert advice" of corporate lobbyists instead of the layman. So the end result has wound up being the same.
WTF are you on about? Do you have any links to back up your assertions that [the police] here in Seattle kill people all the time and get away with it"? Any (non-indymedia, thanks) links? I certainly hope you aren't making the argument "well, I mean they kill people in the line of duty but but but that proves they could get away with it" --that would just be lame.

If you're talking about the specifics of a language to the point where the book you're reading is going to be obsolete after the next standards commitee meets--maybe you're reading the wrong book?
However, if the book you're reading concentrates on the principlas, instead of the individual bits and pieces, age shouldn't matter.
All that they have to do is tie up the open source movments (specifically the mozilla, apache, wine, *BSD, Open Office, Linux, FreeDOS, samba and any other interoperable OSS project) in the legal system until they either fold or are marginalised.
Because of this leak, they now have the legal means to drage the Open Source world into a labyrinth court process which WILL KILL IT.
The fight is over, If Open Source is not now dead in the water, it will be before the year is out. I'd say before summer even gets here.
Microsoft gives away their command-line tools. But that's only for C# (which would be relevent for this article, but still needs to be clarified since that doesn't include the C,C++ tools).
Hell, I haven't even managed to find the free C# tools, much less any other CIL apps.

Of course, they might have an easier time remembering it if it existed

twm? mozilla? that's just so...so wrong. ;-)
Have you guys considered sneaking in after he's gone home and installing Mosiac for him?
If it doesn't, you might try icewm.

the customer buying the placements?
Forget Yahoo, it's 1996 technology. I'm waiting for the search engine/portal which will come up to replace google.
I'll be interested to if it topples google due to being better, or due to google chasing after the IPO money a little too hard...
more laughed/derided/scoffed at than his.

move along, nothing to see here...
you're basing that on what, exactly?
My grandma's writing me a new kernel for my birthday. w00t!
Sure can! ;-)

No, 2004; we're a lot more smooth and professional than those orwellian clowns...

They still use the ritchie book after all, right?
Neither, I'm someone who's used various versions of freenet and it just doesn't hold up for much of anything, IMHO.
I'm waiting for freenet to become a viable technology.
Listen, people;
THE FIGHT IS OVER!!!
MICROSOFT HAS WON!!!

Until Microsoft succeeds in using this to shut down the entire free software movment by tying it up in the courts?
Talk about scorched earth tactics...DAMN...and they only had to release 15% of their code to kill Linux, too.
Amazing, awe-inspiring, even.
on Microsoft's mythological free command-line tools which are allegedly free for download?
