There are a lot of non-www based services that don't use name based virtual hosting. Name based ftp? Name based finger? Virtualizing is good, but we can't switch to just that for everything, at least not yet. Yes there actually are a few people who continue to run services other than http!

If I or say, my company use some GPL'd software, but we don't sell or give the software to someone else, we are not required by the GPL to share the code we added with anyone. What if we setup an application server that runs the code, and we sell access to the application server? Absolutely nothing. We are allowing the 3rd party to run the software, but we are not giving them a copy of it. We are not selling or distributing the software. We are distributing the USE of the software.
The same goes for web based applications. The only time the GPL would be enforced is if they were selling or redistributing the software for other people to download and install/use. If you wrote a message board in PHP, distributed it under the GPL, and someone took it and added the board to a paid website, or offered the service of hosting custom discussion boards for a fee, and they modified the software a bit, would you or anyone else be entitled to their changes? No, not unless they sold or distributed the actual software.
So, if you want people to have to give back changes even if they don't distribute the application and/or don't want anyone to make money off of your work, right your own license.
BTW, visit zend.com, they will be providing a bytecode compiler for php4 eventually.
Don't you get it? Canada is a haven for known terrorist groups who want to get at the US. Apparently they have now infultrated the government of British Columbia now too.
You laugh now, but someday all of Canada will be rising up in a Jihad to rid the world of the "Great Satan".
For this, I say the makers of SoF should create a "Take out BC Movie Review Board" mission pack...
Yes, Richmond would be a great place. We've got a new convention center being built. We're 2hrs from DC. 2hrs from Raleigh NC. It's right in the middle of the east coast linux hotspots. Our lug is smallish tho'. Richmond, VA Linux Users Group
No, the DVD cases replace the jewel case (plastic), and the box (paper). In addition, I've got several "double" DVD cases. If more and more games and clipart start shipping on DVD, you won't have to worry about having more than two DVD's, unless it's really something special, and then you just have a shelf for boxed sets (like boxed sets of dvd's) that are few and far between.
I see this as leading somewhere really nasty. Where you will no longer be able to buy a movie and watch it over and over, you have to buy a license for each time you view it. This is exactly what circuit city's DivX was an attempt at.
I expect, in the next few years, you will not be able to buy a movie any more. Just like software, it will be licensed, and by opening the package you agree to the license, and that license will contain things such as you're not allowed to transfer the license of this movie to someone else, even on a temporary basis (no selling your used DVD's, nor even lending one to a friend).
I don't think the idea here is so much terraforming, but as a method for getting O for astronauts/dwellings. The CO2 and O3 produced by our combustion processes would be vented, meaning we wouldn't be eating up the supply.
and they're left with nothing but 50lbs of useless scrap to lug around...:)

You're very correct, most teachers think of computers solely as tools. Lots of people also think of computers as a subject in and of themselves.
We're coming to a technological/computing crossroads here. It's similar to what has happened with the automobile. There are tonnes of people who consider cars as tools. They don't care about what makes them tick, don't know how to properly take care of or maintain them. They couldn't change oil if their lives depended on it.
Then you have the general knowledge folks, people who aren't mechanics per se, but understand enough to get the gists of the internal combustion engine, what a starter is, how to jump a battery, change a tire, change oil, and aren't afraid to do it. It's taken awhile, but these people are a dying breed.
Then you have the specialists, the mechanics, who go to school and train specifically to work on cars. Most of them really know their shit (ok, there's some lusers out there, but that's normal for any profession).
We're going from having a lower, middle, and upper class when it comes to dealing with vehicles to having only an upper and a lower class.
Do we want this to happen with computers? I think our schools need to use the computers as tools, but they also need to teach the kids the basics. They don't have to be writing software or designing IC'. But they should know the difference between RAM and ROM, the basics of binary math I taught a group of 4th and 5th graders binary math, it was soo much fun! They picked up on it *really* fast, and ran with it. Most teachers and student teachers I know don't know what binary means, or how many bits in a byte, and so on.
I'd personally be much happier with a middle and upper class, eliminating the lower class in this instance.
I actually got to go to an effects shop in Montreal where they were making the giant sized tools/weapons/backpacks for use in this movie. It was pretty cool, all old-school handmade construction.
One of the hardest things about losing weight for a lot of people is that they still have to eat. A drug addict can live without the drugs. A food addict cannot.
This would allow someone with a food addiction to actually not eat.
As far as the military application is concerned, will the patch come with some sort of hunger supressing chemical? Or maybe some sort of ingestible foam with no nutritional value that allows you to feel full and gets rid of the hunger pangs cause by an empty stomach?
Hehe. It's soooo funny. I did Circuit City's first website when I worked for AnswerCity, their old defunked telephone tech support dept. We called it AnswerWeb. I had to actually go to meeting with senior PHB's (Rick Sharp and so on), and try to convince them the web was the way to go, especially for customer support. Eventually of course they dicked me over royally. *JEEZ* the stories I could tell.
They didn't get it then, and I doubt they get it now.
At any rate, I thought ya'll might like to know that the apex players are available from their website for express pickup if your local store has any in stock. I'm picking mine up this morning.
I posted about this over a week ago. Linux Expo 2000 has indeed been dropped by RedHat and apparently the LUG in Raleigh.
If you look on RH's events page, you'll find Linux Expo 2000 North America (Apparently there's one in Brazil too). It's being held in Montreal, Canada in the beginning of April. I have to wonder if Cowpland will be giving his keynote in French. The odd thing is that this has recieved NO advertising, not even from it's sponsors! If I hadn't been looking damn hard for where to register, I probably wouldn't have found out about it.
I'm really sad to see this happen to Linux Expo. Especially considering Raleigh's only what, a 2.5hr drive from me (Richmond, VA - check out RiVaLUG)..
It was a very fun event. I went to the second one skipped the third (they wanted too much money, no student price), and was at every one since. The first one I went to (the second one), was so cool. About 50 geeks in a classroom listening to John "Maddog" Hall talk about *GASP* Linux as a standard.:) I forgot what Alan Cox talked about. Lunch was provided in the cost of the event... there were maybe five vendors with a few boxes or promotional materials on foldup tables.
The Ottawa Linux Symposium probably is the closest in feel to the early Linux Expo's. Very technically centered. I think I'm probably going to take a few days off of work and hit that one.

DOH. And the answer would be.... "Yes" :)
No, it was shortening filenames to 8.3 standards so you could install offa a dos drive.
Live action Gundam? Think power rangers...
Lesse, Anime?
Also, Farscape DVD's (from the UK).
Also, unedited film versions for things like Eyes Wide Shut.
This thing still has the problems of the old Apex with not being able to play branching disks correctly if at all.
Is the jump in price worth fixing "some" audio sync problems, and minor improvements to audio/video quality? I think not.

Why waste time developing a silly toolkit (as the KDE folks used to say), we have GTK+ now.
It's probably not compressed at all. I can't
wait for more and more of this type thing.
I'm sick of going to movies and seeing flecks on
the screen from a poor print, which only gets worse the more it's played.
I found Akira on DVD, but only in a German language release of all things!
I don't think the idea here is so much terraforming, but as a method for getting O for astronauts/dwellings. The CO2 and O3 produced by our combustion processes would be vented, meaning we wouldn't be eating up the supply.
Don't forget the Coffee Crisp! Another great reason for USA'ers to go to CanadaLand!
How do you like your coffee?
Crisp!
