* Cannot, no matter how many fscking versions of the gcc source and/or egcs get a cross compiler to build.
I've built (on a couple of occasions) a cross-compiler under Mandrake quite easily. It isn't that difficult, really.

The real difference was, the STTNG episode was one of the best episodes they ever made...
I'd agree, except for one glaring error in the final moments of the final episode:
When Picard realised that the "thing" (whatever the hell it was) was growing backwards in time, they raced back to its origin and lo-and-behold, there it was.
But, if it was growing backwards in time, why was it bigger 5 minutes in the future between the time they visited and saw nothing and Picard's realisation?
I caught that right away and it kind of ruined the whole show for me.
but about a year ago, someone found a huge security leak in a program that had been open-sourced for years.
It was found and (presumably) fixed. Score another one for open source.
At least your point #3 makes sense, EVEN IF you use "nested "scare" quotes" and GRATUITIOUS SHOUTING.:)

If everyone's contribution is placed in the public domain, then the GPL licence cannot be enforced.
Indeed. In fact, that very thing is said right here:
The simplest way to make a program free is to put it in the public domain. Then people who get it from sharers can share it with others. But this also allows bad citizens to do what they like to do: sell binary-only versions under typical don't-share-with-your-neighbor licenses.
Strange.. almost like they didn't read their own philosophy pages.
I cannot take the time to login to the NY Times, but I have studied up some on cosmology, and most of what I read points to the following:
Since the Big Bang is the beginning of time, asking "What came before the Big Bang?" is as meaningless as asking "What is North of the North Pole?" "Before" has no meaning at the beginning of time, just as "North" has no meaning at the North Pole. Similarly, asking "What caused the Big Bang" is equally nonsensical, since for the Big Bang to be the effect of a cause, the cause would have to happen before hand.
Even if the Big Bang were not the beginning of time, any and all information from before the Planck time is forever lost, so there's no real point in discussing it anyways, except for idle conjecture and religious rantings.
For anyone looking for a good primer on such things, I would highly recommend
The
Little Book of the Big Bang. Very readable.
"liberal" and "Liberal", and "conservative" and "Conservative" here can be entirely different things
It's even more confusing than that for outsiders.
The Federal Liberals are left-centre, whereas the Provincial Liberals in British Columbia (that recently won in a landslide) are quite a ways to the right (relatively speaking... they would be considered centre or so in the US). Provincial Liberals in other provinces are different yet again.
This kind of "operator overloading" goes on all the time in Canadian politics.
Tell me, would the language police shut down an English-language site that called for repeal of the province's law forcing French down its citizens' throats?
They have and will again.
<sarcarsm> The French language is under constant attack in Quebec and needs to be propped up by Draconion Thought Police or it may vanish forever! Didn't you know? </sarcasm>
Brief statements aren't evidence; we aren't even signing the statements or verifying our identity.
Well, presumably the EFF would follow up, and they would present it. I assume they wouldn't just walk in and say "Hey, gunner800 says P2P is cool, so, there".
"So far we haven't had any of the horrible (youth) shootings that other states have had," Harp said. "Hopefully with the passage of this bill, we won't."
I nearly died laughing when I read that one.
This Harp fellow has deluded himself pretty badly if he even remotely seriously thinks that passing this bill will prevent "youth shootings". mmmmm panacea.
Once again we see legislatures looking to offload personal responsibility from parents and law enforcement and instead scapegoat easy targets (namely, video games).
To keep the money out of the equation, or rather, to keep it from being the sole rule that define Idea and Product, the GPL was created.
Wrong. Very very wrong.
The GPL says almost nothing about money or economics. The GPL was created to ensure certain freedoms. It was most definitely not created to "take money out of the equation".
A lot of people have this misconception... perhaps more people should actually read the darned thing before they talk about it (or they should stop believing the FUD certain people spread).
I can't speak for the original question asker, but for myself no GUI is important since I often access my box via SSH on Winblows, so I don't have an X Server running (and even if I did, I wouldn't use it, since it would probably be painfully slow).
I've heard that he writes gospel music, and he likes the idea of being able to distribute it sans Mega-Corporations.
This is true, and is why he supported recent copyright extensions. It has nothing to do with being tech-savvy, and everything to do with serving his own interests.

It was the users who asked Mandrake to set up the donation system; it was not Mandrake's idea.

One side-effect is that lunch lines have speeded up.
Probably because most of them head out to 7-11 for lunch now.

RMS simply spouts common sense. Of course, as the old cliche goes, common sense ain't so common, and therefore he gets labelled as extremist.
We desperately need more geeks like RMS who can argue a political case so well.
