You can scramble the titles, but how would people search for them? Searching on every combination of middle letters would drastically increase the time taken to search.
Yes, GPL protects the copyright holder's rights whilst allowing them to give the source away. They retain the right to licence the code for proprietry use. That's copyright law though, not sure how it would affect a patent.
Those old games aren't worthless. A friend of mine works for a firm called ifone, a subsidiary of Infogrames. They have a licence to produce the old Atari games on mobile phones. Here is a link to the games that are available now.
The patch was released two weeks before. Luckily for Microsoft, the group who found the exploit told MS about it and gave them time to develop the patch before going public. Gates has just been asked why the flaw wasn't found in last year's 2-month code review. He tries to let MS keep the credit for finding it and doesn't answer the question.
At the bottom of the Google results page is the statement saying that some results were filtered out and a link to the DMCA complaint. The complaint has all the links there in plain text. It is also hosted on chillingeffects.org, with links to explanations of the complaint's details.
Google have done ok. They make sure that you know the search has been censored. The links that are missing are available via cut and paste. If you didn't know what the DMCA was before, Google link to a site which will tell you more than you wanted to know, and from a sceptical point of view.
If he isn't providing aid to the criminals, then AFAIK he isn't doing anything wrong. There is no legal obligation to report an offence to the police. Morally, I'd say that the decision rests with the individual.
I just went to their piracy reporting form. I thought they would be interested to hear about a company which is distributing GPL code combined with code which said company claim to be proprietry, in violation of the GPL. I hope they take this as seriously as any other 'piracy' that is brought to their attention.
That's a shame, I have been running Gnome2 at home on Sid for a few months and very nice it is too. One thing I've learned though is to check the news in #Debian before upgrading Sid. Running Stable on a small mailserver in work and it's just fine on an old P-150 64MB, but even there I always do the updates manually, just in case it wants to replace all the core libraries at once or something.
Actually, any stereotype is gonna be wrong. If you went for a night out to my local town on a Saturday night, the myth of 19th century type Brits would be blown, the place is (too) wild. Your suspicion of nastiness would probably be confirmed though, if you ran into the violent drunken idiots who seem increasingly common these days.
Also, apt repositories are distributed all over the place. I get my upgrades from Manchester University and they fly down the line, saturating my cable connection. Also, there's the warm fuzzy feeling that a tiny proportion of my income tax is helping to support the server and network costs.
I ran into dselect straight after installing the base system. Almost put me off the distro, until tasksel came to the rescue. Maybe I just didn't read the docs closely enough, but I think there should be a page for newbies with 'Don't Panic! apt-get install tasksel' in large, friendly letters:)
It might well be related. Does the phrase 'to be good humoured' have any relationship to the ancient Greek idea of the body containing 4 humours? Quick link here.

Funnily enough, Americium is spelled with the -ium ending too.
American people are very polite in my experience. It's funny how their sitcoms stereotype us Brits as being overpolite when an American is more likely to call you sir or ma'am.
You mean our government did, please preserve the distinction:)

The difference in American spelling is not only due to isolation from British English, but is also the result of a deliberate effort to simplify spelling by removing those pesky exceptions to the rule. See here for some info.

I know exactly the kind of jingle you mean and we have far too many as it is, without importing any more of the damn things thankyouverymuch :-)
It's not just the size, Ford is a company with a strong global presence. I hadn't heard of Burlington Coats until just now (I'm in the UK).
IF you are migrating at work, I'd give it a try at home too. There's no substitute for experience.

The copy of the complaint linked to by Google is hosted on chillingeffects.org . I guess that tells you what they think of the DMCA.
By upgrade, do you mean 'ensure all their work is on the network drive, reformat the drive as NTFS, then install XP' ?
I'd always do it like that. One thing Windows 98 taught me, it was the value of a clean registry.

Clear Window Panes, Jesus Chris man, you're taking me back some there (about 15 years actually).

Thanks for the memories
Yikes, I was gonna question Trolltech's inclusion on that list but you're right, they are right there on Canopy's front page.

The press like anything which helps their publications to sell.
