Just to keep the "New Radio Shack" rant going.
The other day went to Radio Shack and asked where the crystal radio kits were. The guy didn't have a clue what I was talking about. I spent a couple minutes trying to explain what a crystal radio was. He couldn't have cared less. I was speechless.
Just curious where you saw that it comes without a hand crank. I thought I'd looked through the entire site and don't remember seeing that. I'm leaving the grid soon and was thinking that this might be the perfect laptop for me to have.
Original -- "I shot the sheriff, but I didn't shoot no deputy" 1st try -- "They paid off the Sheriff. (But they did not pay off the Deputy.)" 2nd try -- "They paid the Sheriff, but they did not pay the deputy..." My try -- "They paid the sheriff, but they didn't pay no deputy"
Best. Actually matches the rhythm and the spirit of the original.
Do they mean to say that if you want to sell it or do none-free changes then they will sell
you a non-GPL license?
Yes. The commercial version isn't under the GPL.
This is how Trolltech does it.
If your cordless phone connection spills onto their property, why shouldn't they use your base station or listen to your calls until told otherwise?
No reason at all (except courtesy?). And forget about the "until told otherwise".
You've always been allowed to listen to radio transmissions. Is the same reason you can listen to police, fire department, etc. radios. If they don't want you to listen, then they will encrypt the transmission.
I just think it's pretty arrogant to assume that you can use it without permission just because it's unsecured.
If you don't want me to use your wireless connection, then don't let my computer connect! Your access point is acting in your place. You don't want to sit by your computer all day and accept/refuse connections, do you? So you have the access point act as your agent and accept/refuse connections for you. If you leave it at the default, it's not my problem! I made a good faith effort to ask permission. And you granted it. Just because you weren't sitting there in person and clicking a little button that says "Accept Connection" doesn't mean you didn't give me permission!
I've always liked reading the "hidden" stories. The signal to noise ratio seems to be much higher. This change will likely be good for Slashdot as a whole, however, it's going to fill these stories up with more crud.
Slashdot Mirror
I want one for myself!

Searched for "Donald Kerblum" and it's not there! I'm still anonymous!
...oh crap
...mostly tongue in cheek...
How about Glimpse?
GNU/Linux Image Manipulation Program, Super Edition
Even RMS would approve!
Hmmm.....actual lyrics...

2nd try -- "They paid the Sheriff, but they did not pay the deputy..."

According to the article Linus spelled it "enjouyed". Slashdot must have finally put a spellchecker into the story posting process.
WTF??!!
Are the mods all 12?
If anything it deserves a +/-1 Sarcasm mod.
Insightful?!
Damn.
Yes. The commercial version isn't under the GPL.

Does anyone else question why we are taking user interface advice from a guy whose website looks like it was designed in notepad?
You're right. He should've used vi.

It's at the bottom.
Hmmm. Tried copying and pasting the actual string. Guess Slashdot doesn't like Chinese characters. Any way...
Qouth the babelfish...
"According to the local law laws and regulations and the policy, the part searches the result not to demonstrate."
It would probably be better to put the disclaimer at the top IMHO.
Or you could...
1. Press F12
2. Click on 'Identify as Opera'
Ummm. Add a zero. 1.6 billion = 1600 million

Feel free. Most people I know don't know what it means.
This actually includes some of my Jewish friends!
Hey mods. That's not funny. It's sad.
Did you read the first post?
Not true. You do not need to be invited to get a gmail account. You do, however, need a cell phone.
Please, please, please, please, please don't let the rumor about Microsoft buying Opera be true. Please.
Exactly. Often times people think might|may|could means will. A Funny mod would also be appropriate.
Like this?
p.s. Please do not look here.
Fravia is still around.

Another interesting situation with red light cameras. I guess being dead won't stop you from getting a ticket anymore!
