Just to make sure there's no sneaky virus/backdoor added by this friendly person, I downloaded the file both through bittorrent and through ftp.mozilla.org, and they're identical so it's safe to download. (Yeah I'm paranoid)

At the moment there are 47 seeds and no leechers, so you should get pretty decent speeds:P
Dissidents are people with an opinion that differs enough from popular opinion to attract negative attention from state officials, while terrorists are people who try to accomplish their goals by killing civilians on purpose.
Does that clear things up for you?
Of course, the word dissident is only used by people who agree with said opinion, and the word terrorist by those who disagree with said goals.
Better comparisions would be freedom fighter/terrorist, dissident/fundamentalist, and education/propaganda
I don't know. Can subscribers actually post comments to the articles when they see them early? I (not a subscriber) regularly see articles without any comments.
From the page you link to:Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is more often known as ``Linux''
Come on, that's pure flamebait. a peculiar turn of events? You mean like someone actually made a kernel to run your (extremely useful) applications on? GNU deserves credit for their great tools, NOT for the OS.
Basically, OSI just wants the source to be available for practical reasons (safety, compatibility, etc.), while FSF wants all software to be free (as in speech and beer). You may ask money for your software, but you cannot stop someone else from giving your software away for free (beer), so effectively you're stuck with a charge-for-support-and-the-box business model.
Transitions between ice-ages and warmer periods are extremely abrupt, in the order of decades rather than thousands of years. Furthermore, the *average* time between ice-ages might be 20000 years, but they are not particularly regular. Combined with "normal" fluctuations (mini ice-ages like in the 17th century), this means very little can be predicted from these variations in temperature.
Of course, it's still a good idea to minimize air pollution for other reasons, like actually being able to breath in a big city in summer.
I hate to spoil a conspiracy theory, but maybe they don't like the implication that their machine might be flawed. It's like Oracle telling their customers to also keep a dead-tree cardbox system in parallel *just to be sure*
It asks for user/pw when telnetting to it. I don't know about expert mode, it seems te be in expert mode by default. (ie. I can change portmappings, firewall, dns, etc.)
I guess I have a different version or something. (Alcatel SpeedTouch 510, HW platform ADNT-Q, SW version 4.0.0.9.0)
On a related note, does anyone know how you get this device to come back on automatically after the power has been cut?? It seems you have to physically press the button on it to turn it on after a power failure, which is annoying to say the least.
Er, that's not a hack. The thing has a telnet and web interface with default empty password to do that stuff for god's sake. (Only from ethernet side of course)

Space is a legitimate battle-ground. Too bad, but that's the way it is.
What's so bad about space as battleground? At least there will be no civilian casualties, except for the 7 or so people in the ISS.

emacs vs vi and gnome vs kde flamewars are getting old, we NEED a new one.
It's easy, really.

Then why do you even show up?
I'm guessing all it has in common with the Tolkien metal is it's price.
That is frightningly true.

Eh, no that's the Open Source Initiative. Compare this with this

20 years?
So, where's GNU/Hurd?

Real gamers run it in wireframe mode. What, you think these people are REALLY that good at guessing when you're going to come around the corner?
My idea exactly. Sound pretty frivolous to me.
Next, we get complaints that laptops have a protective piece of plastic on the touchpad when you get them, which has to be removed before use.
Really? Since what edition?
Don't forget to pay $699 on the way out.
Whatever. Judging from your sig, your logical reasoning skills are definitly superior to mine.
that should be anti-virus obviously
Does Microsoft sell virus software? Do they charge extra for their "firewall"?

Much like car safety between the '50s and '70s. Manufacturers simply didn't care about safety, because the customer didn't care.
Er, that's not a hack. The thing has a telnet and web interface with default empty password to do that stuff for god's sake. (Only from ethernet side of course)
At least, the one I got (from XS4ALL.nl) has.
