No, it is not a violation of the GPL. They could provide it as a patch, or pre-compiled kernel modules.
IIRC the GPL says nothing about if your software "depends" on a GPL'd piece. If your software is integrated (ie. same code type deal) you are in trouble.
Mmmm. Seems to me it would be easier to write new versions of these "10 Major programs" for linux rather than reverse engineer every Windows API. It will probably end up flaky as hell.
Why would I pay 10$ for 75MB if I can get it for free off Gnutella etc?
Thats where the music is currently, and thats where I would think it will always be available =D
profiles are quite often notoriously WRONG anyway. Consider how many sites you view, and how many have dblclick banners. While it may be a lot, there will still be a big chunk of your browsing habits missing.
You may find your profile says you browse porn 100% of the time, that or 0%!
Australia is further behind still. I live 40 mins north of brisbane (my states Capital city) and I can't get cable, dsl or anything. (Well maybe some satellite that has shitty modem uplink)
In the city you can get 3GB transfer on 512k down for around $80p/m iirc.
Australian internet users have it FAR worse. They pay astronimical prices for almost no bandwidth and almost no data transfer.
It is quite annoying to see Aussies paying $80~ per month for 3GB transfer at 512k or less, but it is all that is available.
That and the fact that broadband isn't available in MANY MANY areas of the country. For example less that 40 minutes out of Brisbane.
I'd consider myself lucky if I could get DSL/Cable at a decent speed for $50 per month.
Coindicentally, is that the same GEOS that ran on C64 with the nifty graphics editor? (for it's time..)

The right to fair use is a defence to any charge that inhibits your right to use the product you own/lease/rent.
At least here it is not just a defence to copyright law.
They are not caught the same way. They usually come here legitimately first, by plane, boat etc. with a tourist ETA or Visa. Then they simply overstay. How do they lock them up if they don't know where they are !
I don't know about Dutch law, but in the US I don't see any reason why you have a legal right to watch DVDs in a different region. Your ability to watch DVD's which you have purchased, wherever you choose, constitutes fair use.
Bah! Thats all FUD! You just need to load up linux on your DVD player! Then imagine a beowulf cluster of regionless DVD players! What is so hard about the slashdot way??
There is no such thing as a "semi automatic machine gun."
Don't know about your country, but here a semi-auto is one that requires you to do a full release and repull the trigger between shots, rather than holding down the trigger. Commonly also called a "self loading rifle" !!

That's if this whole thing isn't vapor..
If they solicit these types of mailings, for example they have a page stating email hr@whoever.com with your resume or similar type deal, it is ok.
Directly mailing joebloggswhoyoufoundsomeotherway@whoever.com with your resume is not.

I agree entirely!
EVERY one of my recieved spams says something along the lines of:
"You have recieved this because you are subscribed to . To remove yourself from our opt-in list to "
When I didn't request dickety split.
Maybe the story was "Pending" for that long.........

iirc, napster is a network used to trade files, not another file format !
With great skill and dexterity! There is no other way!
This email looks a lot to me like he wrote it and it was released intentionally as some type of stupid PR thing...
My mistake! *quietly walks away and learns to read*

$7.5M != $400,000,000,000,000 now, is it? :P
Bad news for .biz
Does that mean it's bad news for spam too? The two seem to go hand in hand...
