Why the hell is it nominated for best editing? I was annoyed at the sloppy editing throughout the whole film. This just seems like the hypemachine got to the academy. Sure, it was a good film, but not that great.
But what part of the GNU toolkit commonly used by groups like RedHat/Linux, Slackware/Linux, Debian/Linux[1] diddnt exist a decade ago.
Well, they have been updated and refined since then. Linux existed 10 years ago too. I don't see anyone saying that we shouldn't pay attention to Linus.
IFF (that is: if, and only if) someone actualy produces a GNU/FSF distribution of linux will it make sence to use 'GNU/Linux'
So why do you call it Linux instead of say Unix-clone? The kernel is a pretty minor part of a system. Sure, it is neccesary, but so are the GNU parts.
A hell of a lot more than whiners like you. GNU/Linux is a highly functional system. Linux without GNU won't even compile. For balance it should also be noted that GNU without Linux is no fun.
He's not. If you bothered to read the article you'd see that someone told RMS that Miguel wanted to change the licence of Gnome to the X11 licence. RMS said he would not like that and that he did not belive Miguel would do that.
Most likely not, politicians all over the world have been busy selling out the little guys rights to big corporations for the last few decades. See stuff like MAI and fast track
Dude, RMS did not fly off the handle. He was holding a speech when someone in the audience told him that Miguel said that Gnome will be based on.NET. How the hell was he supposed to react? Do cartwheels on stage?
And another thing, if you are so tired of RMS why don't you start your on project to replace the GNU stuff.
I'm gonna sound like a troll here, but why should huge a free software project like gnome depend on something owned by a single company. It is a lot less problematic if something is owned by GNU since they're a non-profit organisation. Ximian are reqired by law to do what is most profitable for their shareholders, even if that means making stuff proprietary.
The point is, Java is really just another programming language. What's wrong with allowing developers the opportunity to write their natively compiled software in a solid, object-oriented language that doesn't have all the backwards-compatability issues that C/C++ has?
Well, I don't think there should be anything wrong with it. It is just that Java is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun Microsystems, and they don't let you do anything they don't like with it. Everyone should just go with a standardized language like C or C++ instead.
I know you're just trolling, but I'll give you an answer anyway. I have over 1000 non-copy inhibited cd and quite a few vinyl albums aswell, I really like to be able to listen to them while I'm on a bus/train or when I'm biking. Ripping them to mp3s for my own use is in no way illegal.
Because they are shortchanging the inexperienced users. Web based mail has a slower and generally crappier UI, it is less featureful and powerful, users can't archive their mail in any sensible way and last but not least they miss out on learning how to operate a mailclient.
I lost the main email address I've been using since 1995 to a seriously crappy web based system about six months ago. If I ever find the moron who invented that shit...
Slashdot Mirror
You know they have your best interest at heart.
If hotmail changed their terms of use this drastically slashdot would be up in arms.
Wonder if this means selling user info to questionable people if VA goes down the tube?

Given the power of a quantum computer, I'd expect, nay demand that it would DWIT. I don't wanna kludge along with perl or any other language.

is sense I don't need
Yes, but that would mean that US-based companys like RedHat would have to stop distributing/contributing to Gnome.
And another thing, if you are so tired of RMS why don't you start your on project to replace the GNU stuff.
Heh, 91% of voters in the space poll was male. Who could have thought that?

Shouldn't moderators actually click the link before they give an informative mod?
Gee, then maybe it should be called XFree86 / BSD / GNU / the name of every person who contributed code to a Linux or Unix project / Linux
Nope, because you can have a fully functional system without X/BSD/Other stuff. There are no non-gnu linux-kerneled systems that I know of.
Am I the only one that is completely put off by all the Linus fanboys who refuse to see that a kernel does not a system make? Get a life people.
Doesn't minors have civil rights?
Because they had to wait for RSA patents to expire. You can't very well use stuff you oppose if you want to be taken seriously.

I do live in the Netherlands (not near amsterdam fortunately)
Hey, if you live in the Netherlands you can't be far from Amsterdam, the whole contry is practically a stamp.
Anyone with a mirror?
Yeah, but Prince is the only one of them making good music, so lets mention him anyway.
