I only bought it cos she's pretty damn cute, and I decided the front cover would make a good background. But then again, it was only $1.50
You seem to be saying that you would have no objections at all to a law that illegalized the act of opening and reading a book whose paper you own.
Attitudes like this scare me. Really
No, I would happily do something not illegal to protest. Write letters complaining to people. Not buy the book/DVD etc.
I have no intention to buy a DVD player of any sorts
until these issues are sorted.
I also spread the decss source, as it is legal to do so here (to the best of my knowledge).
One of the main problems, seems to be,
the geeks that are complaining (and rightly so) about the removal of freedoms, are then turning round on the other hand, and buying all the DVDs they can get their hands on
and complain if the latest release isn't on DVD format.
I claim no property rights on the content of a DVD disc, but I assert full property rights on the material the disc is made of. If I have the technical skill to play back the material with my own computer (not copy, just play back), this act should not be illegal
You are not playing back the material, you are playing back the contents. You seem to have greatly confused contents and material. There is nothing stopping you from spinning the disc in a machine, just like there's nothing stopping you from throwing it against a wall.
What there is, is a law stopping you from reading the contents, which you claim no right on.
It might not be the right law, or morally correct, but it's there, and it's what they decided to do. Either live with it, or do something that is not illegal to protest (stop buying DVDs might be a start).
Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzt! Game over, thanks for playing. Nautilus is a shell. Nautilus can embed mozilla. It doesn't use gecko, it uses the embeddable part of mozilla that carries most of the mozilla baggage with it (from what I've seen)
The problem is that by the time you remove X, write a new GTK layer, rewrite the libs, etc, you've basically rewritten all of GNOME. Making it pretty useless.
Gtk1.4/2.0 will have a framebuffer GDK port, just for embedded systems and stuff like this.
Keith Packard has a proposal explaining what he's working on, and apparently he's basically trying to fix everything. But Alpha layers are the top thing on his list, I think. And KP is one of the top X guys according to Jim Gettys.
Thanks, I'd never seen a C compiler that did all the openlibrary() calls at the start, I always did them by hand and opened pretty little requesters saying "You need this library".
Another question though. With the Amiga's OpenLibrary () call, once the library was opened, you could just call functions in that library as if they were just normal functions. Can you do this with dlopen (), or do you need to go through the process of looking up the function before using it?
My "revolutionary idea" is to extend the Active Desktop to another level, and make it a hyper active desktop. I made a desktop that could embed arbitrary gnome components in it. didn't do much other than that, but I just wanted to see if it was possible, and for a 30minute hack, I think it looks like it could be viable.
I think someone ages ago showed me a screenshot of Microsofts next generation desktop and this was what they were doing, or seemed to be doing (it also involved a lot more HTML crap too IIRC)
Okay, not very impressive, I just wanted to show off that screenshot:)
Execpt a lot of those "bugs" fall into feature requests, bugs for versions years ago, or bugs for other things, like Redhat, or KDE, or even Microsoft.
And there's even some "Why do you use Linux you stupid nerds, Microsoft Rulez!!!" flames there too.
I'm not saying there's not bugs, but there's not as many as bugs.gnome.org says.
"The internet may actually unite the world rather than declare independence from it. "
Which is exactly what governments are afraid of, and trying their hardest to stop. Once the world is united, governments will be reduced to small "state" like duties, for the larger controlling one. And the reason people are in government (maybe not everyone, but most people I'd imagine) is because they want power, so they will do everything they can to retain that power.

No, I'm sorry, that was a pile of crap.
+5 flamebait, redundant.

When you type a url that doesn't exist
IE5 contacts MSN and then displays the Cannot find server page.
And the single click desktop will be available with Nautilus

There is a status applet for the gnome panel, that lets apps like KCDPlayer (or whatever its called) and KPPP dock with the panel.
Never used it, I just know it exists in Gnome1.2
GNOME is full of easter eggs
well 3
1: April 1st, Wanda the fish will die
2: Triple click the right mouse button on the panel tab in the control centre, and a new tab will appear with a GEGL waving.
3: Type GNOME on the About GNOME program and the logo changes to the sqeaky gnome toy, and it sqeaks when you click it.
Thats all.
fair enough, but it wasn't the impression I got from reading the license, but I didn't really care that much.
and if they trademark the name of their product, then you can't use the name of the product in a negative way.

/me decides to read man dlopen later
Is the lazy linking in the article the same way that the Amiga used to do linking?
The HTML code isn't valid so that it degrades if you have a crap browser.
The images for text are so that the menu doesn't take HUGE amounts of space, when using a small window.

I can't see windows 2000 getting bug reports for KDE myself :)
:)
But yeah, then again, I never claimed win2000 had lots of bugs
if you're compiling from source, make sure you use
./configure --prefix=`gnome-config --prefix` --sysconfdir=`gnome-prefix --sysconfdir`
that'll make sure everything gets installed over the top of rpms so everything will still work right.
NB: those are ` and not '

No, its off the solomn islands nowhere near New Zealand.
Plus the news reporters last night said it would be washed away by the sea in a few months, like all the other islands this volcano has created.

I had a point, but I dunno what it was.
"Can you touch a car? Is a car a physical thing, tangible?"
And if you wasn't a tangible thing like music, would Ferrari allow you to walk into their showrooms and make an exact copy of it? No.
Why? Because it lowers the value.
Just because the situation isn't the same, doesn't mean it's not stealing.
