It could be placed into a form of software patent/copyright. NOT in the existing patent concept. But one that acknowledges who wrote what and still provide the end user the freedom to enhance or customize.
I definitely can see where you're coming from and agree that if it does allow the market to drive the prices instead of the telco's (which are still in effect monopolies in many areas) service it'll be a good thing.
Also, I wouldn't mind seeing an alternate to our current internet started up by any group (I don't care which, to be honest) as long as prices were reasonable for services provided.
I currently have a level 8 male gnomish wizard on Level 5 and 6 (I go back and forth, the last (and currently only) merchant is on 5). I'm kinda stuck on 6 because there are no secret doors to be found (searched the walls of every room four times over already) and now way further down.
The fact you can crash Linux in 5 minutes is extremely disturbing (the fact that you can crash it at all is even more disturbing). I've only managed to lock up X to the point where my keyboard and mouse were unavailable, but I'd almost be willing to bet had I not hit the power button, it would still have been serving up my website(s).
Are you a UI designer? If not, stfu about interface mistakes. If you aren't bothered to either a) make a bug report about it or b) fix it yourself, you have no room to talk.
apt is good, but it's far from perfect. Having used Debian myself, apt has a problem with dealing with a large amount of files (as does Red-Carpet and occassionaly up2date). From what I've heard though Portage (Gentoo's installer system) has mostly eliminated dependency hell.
Right. Then tell me for the entire year my parents had XPHE (mobo fried due to bad advice from Gateway) everytime they rebooted, their Epson USB Printer, which came with printer drivers for XPHE had to be re-installed because Windows detected it as a NEW device? On the other hand, after getting it successfully installed (after calling Epson and Gateway) and shared as a network printer, I jumped onto my Linux box and used SAMBA to effortlessly make it available on my Linux box.
Sorry, installing anything on Linux is a breeze compared to Windows (and I've used Win95, Win98, ME, and XP (with ME being the most well behaved version)).
You must be an idiot. NONE of my USB devices (Logitech iTouch Wireless Keyboard, Logitech iFeel Optical Mouse) have any problems under RH 7.2+ The last time I had any problems with my keyboard was in 6.2 and that was only because it had trouble dealing with random interference.
Yeah, who would have thought that you could do something like this faster and cheaper with Linux. Perhaps NASA should take a lesson from Linux (e.g. it can be done faster, cheaper, and more reliably).;)
The GPL doesn't mean you can't make money off your GPL'd software. In the same sense, GPL'd hardware doesn't mean you can't make money off of it. Think services, not IP.
How do you figure? Sure they paid for a license, but IBM would be under no obligation to continue to honor those licenses. That they would do so would be gracious, but pointless. They've already decided to completely drop AIX. Most other companies using Unix I'm sure also have some Linux in house as well. I really don't think it'd generate a lawsuit minefield because those former license holders would actually be SAVING money by not having to pay for a license (of course I could see MS dropping all Unix compatability in a heartbeat, which would just be funny as they gutted their OS:-p).
I do hope that BigBlue wins and gets ownership of the code in a countersuit. I also do hope that they, along with Novell and other holders of UNIX IP, make that IP available via the GPL.
I wonder if anyone realizes that Justin Frankel is the only one who ever puts anything up on nullsoft.com (at least his name is on every page of every piece of software offered). I'd bet my left arm that Mr. Frankel put WASTE up on the Nullsoft.com website despite the current message that resides there right now.

There's been some talk on the Gentoo-users list about Gentoo moving to y-desktop.
Don't forget the Fair Use doctorine of copyright law.

Someone hasn't read the GPL.
The comment applies to copyrights too.

Ah, but you can create your own puzzles!
I haven't wasted quite that much time on Frozen Bubble as nethack takes up most of my gaming time (and some of my school work time too!). (;
These people have never played Frozen Bubble or Nethack.

BTW, Nethack 3.4.2 is out!
for crashing after 5 minutes of use,

You're funny.
Linux == Free
Windows == at the least ~$200
How do you automate driving down a road looking for a pothole?
are you insane? It's CHEAPER just because of the OS. The improved video processing software is responsible for the faster and better.
Yeah, who would have thought that you could do something like this faster and cheaper with Linux. Perhaps NASA should take a lesson from Linux (e.g. it can be done faster, cheaper, and more reliably). ;)
SCO - The Only Company To Gladly Dig It's Own Grave
Now that really takes balls!
did you happen to have a problem with all the text being apparently inside a blink tag?
:(
I checked the source and it was made with FrontPage 4.0, that's all I needed to know before I left the site.
I feel bad for the Iraqi's, having such a poor quality web site for the state run ISP.
Satire dooes include the commercial use of a celebrity's name/identity.
I'm sorry, I don't think Max Payne (the game) is purposely using some broken down wrestlers identity.
If Mr. Payne has ever heard of
1) Fair Use
2) Satire
3) Stressing out over nothing
Since really only 1 and 3 apply, someone should traqualize him asap.

Can we get a German-to-English translation that doesn't suck, please? I've tried google to no avail, and feel that Babblefish won't be any better.
I still wonder how many people have read this by Eric Raymond.
