Maybe it is just a pause, because we should all pause and consider (cross self, bow, or whatever) after the name Richard Stallman.
Correspondigly, the full stop after "Theo de Raadt" would indicate a longer pause, not because the latter name is necessarily greater, but because of the staggering import of the whole sentence and the necessity of picking oneself up off the floor (at least for those knowing some GNU and BSD history and the beliefs/writings of the two persons named):-).
The effort MS have to put (once) into detecting the platform is certainly a lot less than the effort required to test/fix _every_ update on a different platform. And WINE is definitely a different and not-completely-compatible platform to (the various versions of) Windows.
I think Win95 (and maybe 98 but I think they extended that) is end-of-lifed now, in which case it is quite possible that the exact same result happens if you use a '95 box as if you use WINE - and for the same reason, ie. cost of developing and testing on an additional platform. [ BTW - I don't know what it does on '95 and I haven't got a copy of 95 to test it with, you can't even _get_ 95 from MS now, even with full MSDN subscription ].
Unlikely the cause since GP compares him (unfavourably) to Douglas Admas, who was also British.
FWIW, I'm British and I also rate Adams above Pratchett.
I think it is partly (but not entirely) that Pratchett is often brilliantly amusing commentary on the state of the world, but way off in fantasy setting, whereas Adams is brilliantly amusing sci-fi written with such a great insight on this world that he makes it believable that the rest of the galaxy could actually be that mad.
Free software is still streets ahead of MS (and enlightenment) in this regard.
The Hurd was supposed to be just round the corner back in the eighties. Back when I was first reading of how much better than Unix the Hurd would be, Microsoft was still on DOS and Rasterman was probably just about in high school.
Last I heard of the Hurd it was being re-written, change of microkernel. Maybe by 2010 we'll finally get to see the greatest 1980's OS.
Doesn't matter where I live, I'm referring to canon law, which is universal in the Catholic church, and having just refreshed my memory from the vatican web site.
Suggest you do the same.
Canon 1084 #3.
You are free to regard canon law, the vatican, the pope, etc. as heretical if you wish (many do) - but to save confusion, tis best not to then refer to yourself as Catholic.
[ and to save you looking up the exception in #3, it refers to deception - ie. sterility may be grounds for annulment if one party _deceived_ the other regarding fertility ]
I've seen people in their 70's (clearly beyond procreation) marry - in Catholic church.
There is no test or rule that I am aware of in the Catholic church for ability to procreate in order to be allowed to marry.
Ability to _Consummate_ the marriage - sure, the one true Church will get all involved in assessing that if there is any doubt, and can refuse to marry for that reason. Also, non-consummation is grounds for anullment.
Inability to procreate is also clearly not grounds for anullment in the Catholic Church - a fact rather important in its history at least in England - and if it was reason to disallow marriage (as you say) it would also be reason to anull.
From the article it sounds like you don't pay for less than $50 personal import:
It is illegal to bring any cigarettes into Michigan from other states unless by licensed sellers who pay the appropriate tax. People who bring less than $50 in cigarettes don't face penalties
but it doesn't sound like that applies to mail order. That sounds like discriminatory.
There is a big difference when it comes to common-carrier or anti-competition.
The whole point there is that you can't favour a particular "who" - if a railroad company said "freight trains are too heavy for this bridge and will have to divert" then probably ok, wheras if it blocked freight trains from other companies but allowed its own, it wansn't.
If the ISPs are just blocking _all_ VOIP traffic then fine - they aren't delivering a full IP connection, but (in most cases) nothing forces them to. If they are blocking Vonage VOIP whilst allowing their own VOIP then I would have thought you are right into the realms of competition law, particularly if the ISP has a monopoly on the network provision.
All hinges on "if you know", which is kind of difficult to disprove, how do you prove you didn't know something ?
Where this falls down is that the content on the end of an external hyperlink is not under your control, and can be changed without you getting any notice. Moreover, it will probably be difficult to prove that content was changed, or when.
There is also the problem of dynamic sites with third-party created content/links, like/. If I run a music site with a forum and create an area (or even someone else creates a thread) titled "put links to your mp3s here", then this seems to make me responsible (if in Norway) if users post links to illegal copies rather than their own recordings.
This is where the notice-and-takedown stuff in DMCA et al. may actually be a good thing - at least there (to my understanding) you have to be notified, so knowledge is easy to prove and the burden on proof is in the right place.
Generally, dealers must make a "suspicious activity report" to NCIS on any cash transaction of more than 15,000 euros (about £10,000) - although smaller transactions must also be reported if they arouse any suspicions.
MPL is not compatible with GPL either. Compatibility is not necessary for dual licensing.
Sun didn't want to dual-licence, so they took that bit out, seems reasonable - their code to licence as they please. Doesn't stop anyone else from dual-licencing _their_ code.
CDDL, like MPL, is file-based therefore is actually compatible in practice with a lot more licences than GPL is.
This doesn't impact the freeness of the project though.
You still have exactly the same freedoms on the code, and your freedom to contribute is under the same restrictions.
You may feel on principle unable to contribute back to the project because of the dual licensing, but that is a restriction imposed by you, not by the project. Same applies to FSF projects if you have an objection on principle to the GPL being not free enough (and I know some BSD people do).
Copyright assignment _is_ a restriction because it is (or can be) an administrative and legal hurdle which has a time and/or monetary cost. Remember, in the FSF case at least, it involves your employer(s) too (or at least it used to).
Also, assignment is unnecessary for the OpenOffice re-licensing, there are other (much debated) reasons for assignment, which are most probably the same for the FSF and Sun. I still don't see a reason why OpenOffice is any less free than an FSF project. The same re-licensing could occur on a BSD licenced project, but that doesn't make it non-free.

So we just kill more vegetables instead ?
Where does it say that the rule only applies to humans and animals and not vegetables ?
Where do you draw the line on what size of animal counts (you only eat unleavened bread ?) ?
but it doesn't sound like that applies to mail order. That sounds like discriminatory.

And servers can be configured to redirect requests without referrer info. A site can require referrer info just the same as requiring cookies.
Referrer can be easily spoofed too - but the vast majority of users aren't going to have the skill or the desire to do it.
Maybe no-one is making that point because they know there _is_ more than one CLR... (1, 2).
Yes it is, but php has nothing to do with whether or not a character is legal in a url.
It is diplomatic language.
As in: "I expect your resignation on my desk first thing in the morning. That will be all".
They expect him to resign because the alternatives would be a lot worse for him.
Suspended pending appeal.
If he doesn't appeal or loses the appeal then he is "expected to resign".
WTF ?
Windows has done drag-n-drop to writeable cds for years.
The $100 add-on might give you a few more options on formats etc., but to just stick some files on a cd, all you need is windows.

OK, except for confusing hackers and crackers.
Hackers are more likely to be using an unusal browser, granted.
Crackers are most likely script-kiddies these days, I see no reason to suppose they might be using unusual browsers
Mod parent up (since I can't and I'm fed up of making the same point)
There is no binary XML here. The XML is not compressed (go ahead and gzip it as well if that is what you want).
This is about packaging other binary data _within_ XML. RTFA
NOT in that example it doesn't - just a one line comment saying they didn't include the data.
The extra lines are the additional Mime and XOP packaging.
See quote below (from here).
That part is about _text_ for _manuals_ - not code (at least as I read it). Otherwise the document would contradict itself.
They *require* it:
"certain legal procedures are required when incorporating legally significant changes"
Quoted from gnu.org
They *may* require an employers disclaimer *as well* - that depends on your status.
