And if you conduct a search, you'll notice that Yahoo has adopted the colour scheme for its search results page of Google's search results page. I wondered if this was because they used Google's search technology, but the Wikipedia assures me that Yahoo uses its own crawler and database and has been doing so since their involvement in JFK's assasination.
Putting an alternative firmware on it to peer-share any and all your files and to sync with a computer wirelessly will happen and almost makes the Zune a tempting project. But I don't need a wireless backup hard disc that also plays movies and music. Yet.
Lest a slashdotter click a link, the people at Debian find the license terms of the Mozilla icon set to contravene their own free software guidelines (the DFSG), so don't use their icons but still brand the product as Firefox. MoFo / MoCom want the Firefox name and logo to go together, so Debian are considering not using a different icon and name.
This issue needs the attention of distribution teams. Bug #1 on Ubuntu's bug-tracker indicates their issue with Microsoft's dominance; Mark Shuttleworth should be sending delegates to OEMs to have a live Ubuntu experience included on the computer. The possibility of giving OEM's an edition of Ubuntu to be usd as the restore software for a broken Windows install (with the option of living with the Ubuntu recovery desktop or installing a fresh Ubuntu instance instead of recovering Windows) would be a good start on the road to OEM inclusion, which is where the Desktop Linux presence has to begin.
The SlashEditors rejected my front-page submission for a review of my new GNU/Linux distribution -- the third new distribution I've made this week -- featuring some Linux Kernel and some GNU stuff on top. Wilberux 4.62.81.three was teh b0mb, but 4.62.81.fork had to come out because the project lead (me) was an ass and I had to wrest control back from that evil cabalist.
BTW, 2001's million Linux distributions want their flamebait back.
Irrespective of claims about morality, I believe that software using a free-to-derive license (which lets modifications remain private) is not as communally-beneficial or good for the program itself as software using a free-the-program license (where the modifications must be freely available to improve the original).
It's the same window-breaking economy that fuels this entire discussion: in selling Vista for upgrade, the extra hassle may create as many as 50,000 jobs; in making a terrible product that requires additional software to secure it, there are more people involved in creating and maintaining Microsoft's software. I take that as the sure sign that the Emperor is about to parade in some New Clothes.
I think that the AntiTrust Dept wasnt Microsoft to document their seurity subsystem in a way that it doesn't eliminate the market for anti-viral, spyware and firewall products. It may be that Vista won't be allowed to include MS' Vista Firewall, Windows Defender or OneCare in addition to Windows Media Player.
This statement from the US Constitution does not apply to DRM systems because they do not honour its 'limited times' provision. In an ideal world, people would not breach the boundaries of the system and try to break DRM systems, challenging the notion that DRM is sufficient to stop copyright breaches of works of art supplied in digital from. In another ideal world the monies given to buy DRM'd music would fairly compensate the authors and inventors, but it doesn't, challenging the idea that people buying, not illegally copying, DRM'd music is sufficient to compensate authors and inventors to progress science and the arts.
Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake and ATi Xn00- and X1n00-series graphics accelerators in laptop computers fail because of a stupid setting in xorg.conf that turns off your notebook's LCD screen straight away. xorg.conf needs
Option MonitorLayout "LVDS,AUTO"
which I believe to be causing bugs that appear as #22985 and #35601 among others. The initial rollout of Dapper has this problem but it may be fied in subsequent editions because 6.06 is a five-year long-term-supported edition of Ubuntu. You may need to register with Launchpad.net to see the bug reports.
But they said 'it's showtime'. That must mean that it's a musical song-and-dance affair where Apple Computer unveils plans to dominate the universe in a giant Apple space station which suspiciously resembles a Death Star.
It's funny you ask what the moral is: they suggest that Microsoft's best means to remain competitive against GNU/Linux is to use its existing weight to make GNU/Linux less appealing. I call that 'monopolistic practices' -- is that the moral of this story?
It still doesn't make sense to me for you to be angry at people you don't know on the other side of the planet instead of the known idiots in your back yard. It's their decisions and lifestyle which caused the outsourcing; Indians working tech jobs aren't causing outsourcing because the decision is made by penny-pinchers at home.

A friend did the analysis: Plasma Pistols or Plasma Rifles are the best balance of research time, staff, resources and sale price for teh profit.
Is that clicking on the 'never come back' checkbox before clicking 'go away'?
It might be cheaper to buy a handful of unterminated headphone jacks (or cheap headphones) to dim the noise...

Vote CowboyNeal for Governor of Core 0x4F!
Don't use Java as an argument for accepting Intel's actions.
I wasn't. It's just an idea to propel discussion about what is free.
I saw your call and I'm here with my flaming torch and pitch fork. Where's the rest of the lynch mob?
Wait for Apple's second revisions and Microsoft's fourth editions.
Is Java bytecode interpreter or JIT compiler a binary blob?

Mod parent up: poster explains what conditions are required for a Mersenne-form prime.
I'd recommend Pluto: it's as if hundreds of astronomers crying out were suddenly silenced.

Thanks for explaining your situation.
I hope that ReactOS is good enough for you by then.
