I can honestly say that I can't actually remember an occasion where it's been easier to rebuild Solaris, than fix it.[...]
The same cannot be said for Windows systems I've worked on - the time and effort involved in troubleshooting is much much higher than the effort involved in a rebuild.
So basically, you don't like Solaris' installer. You think it's so bad that it's better to fix the OS than to reinstall it. Am I right?;)
I find it highly insensitive that you have overlooked the deaf community. Surely they also wish to enjoy such magnificent web pages. So you're saying that when I add the soundtrack to my home page, I should have the musical notes going by in a flash animation?
I'm blind and deaf. And before any of you say it, I don't have any tactile sense either so I can't read braille. Nor do I have a sense of smell or taste!
Everyone who sees you type, can inject package that says that you said rm -rf.
From their FAQ:

You're an eternal optimist, aren't you? What makes you think it will be destroyed even then? After all, those chips must survive terrorist attacks so that the terrorists can be identified afterwards.
But the team was astonished to find the animal remains were about 35,000 years old, rather than from the known impact of 13,000 years ago.
So what? Haven't meteors existed for billions of years? Couldn't the animals be hit by meteors 35,000 years ago and then another one crashed 22,000 years later?
I'll grant and salute your geekiness. I tried doing the same on a Palm Pilot (I'm sure inferior resolution, but comparable screen size) to your HP PDA. Couldn't do it.
I've been, and still am, using a Toshiba e740 to read books and I'm just fine with it.
(I'm sure inferior resolution, but comparable screen size) to your HP PDA. Couldn't do it.
Before my e740, I tried a device with a screen with "inferior resolution but comparable screen size". The device had a 1x1 resolution, just one huge pixel and I couldn't do it too. It was too hard to distinguish a 'i' from a 'o'.;p
But the iPhone? 320x480. 40% the number of pixels of the Nokia devices screens.
And the e740 is 240x320 which is 50% the number of pixels of the iPhone. And the screen is smaller in size compared to the iPhone too. But I'm still fine with it. So I do think the iPhone could be a good eBook reader, at least for some people (shmlco, Namarrgon and me at the very least).
The Kindle might be great for some people, good for them. But it's not without cons either as the GP noted: yet another device, doesn't fit in a pocket,... Basically, it's a matter of trade of and what matter to each person.
I love the death map of the first level (red spot at the bottom right): all those people jumping off the cliff like lemmings
And this one (green spot at the bottom left, where Dog fights the Strider): "Oooh, robot fight! Let's watch... uhoh! *squish*"
And last (greenish blue at the top, where the rocket takes off): it seems that several people wanted to become astronauts, they even went through walls just to get on that rocket ("Wait for meeeee...!")
Easy: 1. At the boot, type "F2" or "DEL" to go to the BIOS 2. Go to "Advanced settings" 3. Select CPU Core #1 4. Change the clock speed for this CPU 5. Press "F10" to save 6. Reboot 7. Run Prime95 to test that you didn't overclock too much. 8. Reboot [... Repeat 63 times for each core...] 513. Voila!
Of course, overclocking one core will affect the cores around it. So you may have to reduce the overclocking of some cores to increase the clock speed of the current core. Make sure to re-run Prim95 on each core to ensure that your cpu is still stable.
Also, depending on your computer usage, you have different strategies: - you can overclock one core a lot and reduce the speed of the cores surrounding it to maximize the overclocking of that "power core" - or you can aim for a more smooth overclocking by increase the clock for each core by the same mount. - or you can mix the two strategies above and have a few "power cores", some "average cores", "low core" etc.
Further reading seems to indicate that Mozilla's developers had MNG support, but yanked it in favor of APNG support.
There is a huge bug in bugzilla about MNG. MNG was basically pulled because it was deemed too complex, increasing Firefox size too much for not enough worth.
APNG was preferred because it is simpler too implement (or integrates better with the existing PNG decoder or something like that) and doesn't increase Firefox's size as much.
I've got a nastly little anarchist streak in me. I think it'd be hilarious for the browser wars to play out like this. Download Windows update? IE takes control. Song off iTunes? Safari grabs control back.
It already happens with Outlook 2007 and Thunderbird. Everytime there is a "windows update" for Office 2007, Outlook becomes the default email client, without even asking.
But he is certainly against people making closed source software out of his GPLed software.
Yes he is. Like I'm pretty sure that if he was making hardware, it would be GPLed (or equivalent) too. But that doesn't mean that he wants to force everybody to use an open source license for what ever they create. In the case of the TiVo example, TiVo made the hardware from scratch, they didn't use a GPL design, so he accepts that they want to use a DRM scheme, even if he doesn't agree on the principle. That's the one of the big differences between him and Stallman.
It's about preventing people from circumventing your goals when you share your code
What is Linus's goal? I think his goal is to make his software available for all, so that people can look how things are done, can modify it as they wish, can use is as they want, etc... But it's not about forcing companies to allow modified versions of the software to run their hardware, that they designed, that they manufactured. That is Stallman's goal. They just have different opinions.
And in the case Linus, it's not a contradiction to have a GPL software and allow manufacturers to use a DRM scheme to prevent modified version of his software from running on their hardware.
Why not just let them take your code, create their own version and use a signed key to make any further modifications unusable on the device? Oh wait. That's what DRM does. He **is** OK with that.
Why not? Linux has never been against close sourced software, he is fine if a company decide to write their own proprietary appliction. So why would he be against DRM? He will not write DRM stuff because he doesn't like that kind of stuff. But he is fine with other people deciding what they want to do themselves. Like he is fine with people writing binary drivers for Linux as long as the driver is "generic" and does not rely on anything in the kernel
In your example, you do have access to the source code, you can modify it as you want, you can use it where you want. It may not run anywhere else as-is, but then that was never the goal of open-source software.
And the hardware, it is not GPL, it is not a derived work of a GPL thing, so it does not have to be GPL. Or OpenSource. Or whatever. It's a proprietary device. As such the manufacturer is free to do whatever it wants with it, like implementing a DRM key.
Oh, I didn't notice the flat bottom in the article's picture, I thought the hull was the classic boat hull, which would not trap the bubble like your bucket, and so would not provide significant lift.
It doesn't matter that the bubbles are compressed or not. What matters is that they are lighter than the same volume of water (i.e. less dense). As long as the bubbles try to rise to the surface, they are less dense, and so provide less lift for the ship.

- Will ODF spreadsheets be functionally equivalent to CSV?
- Will ODF text be functionally equivalent to plain-text ASCII with line breaks?
- WIll ODF presentations be JPEG renderings?
- Will ODF import and export take hours?
- etc.
No:- Loading an ODF spreadsheet will crash Office.
- Loading an ODF text will crash Office.
- Loading an ODF presentation will crash Office.
- Loading an ODF import and export will crash Office.
- etc.
That way, they can share the code between the different apps. That's also why they can release ODF before OOXMLThe same cannot be said for Windows systems I've worked on - the time and effort involved in troubleshooting is much much higher than the effort involved in a rebuild.

They knew that. It was the first phase in their scheme:
1) install Windows on as many machine as possible.
And now that the "Year of Linux Desktop" is coming, they are going to the second phase.
