as we all know, our knowledgeable slashdot staff does not provide us with mediea hyped shit, pampering their readers instead only with well researched "Stuff that Matters".

either your post is a joke, or you're george bush.
actually, if they wanted to steal his code, modify it, close it and sell it as their own, that would be just as illegal under the bsd license as it would be under the gpl. also, perhaps you might want to note that apple is cooperating quite closely with the *BSD community.;-)
assuming there is no licensing shit involved, it might as well be pretty straightforward (being already there in a way). then again
-- apple probably would like to make some money off their OS
-- there are a number of quite adorable-looking aqua themes for both KDE and GTK+ available on themes.org
also, did you ever try to run apt-get as a mere mortal luser? it's truly peachy. debian is cool, but it has it's limits. distribution of software in source form is, IMHO, the way to go; with binary distributions as an option, not the other way round.
well, in fact i was not really replying to your specific comment. i just considered it to be a good place to vent some steam. sorry for that, btw.
so, to address your arguments (and perhaps elucidate mine, if you fell like reading this):
when i wrote "comparing this to WWII" i was referring to your usage of pearl harbor as an example of a similar event... argumentation by association, which i find very disturbing.
indeed my standpoint does not "offer solution to terrorism". that's the point. there is no solution, particularly not through violence. there are only some prophylactic measurements that can be taken.
when i refer to "imperialistic US foreign policy" i am not proposing a particular direction of change. i am not naive enough to believe that my suggestions could actually improve the situation. i am, however, interested in building awareness of how the US is perceived overseas. perhaps then statements like "Personally, I doubt even that would appease these medieval-minded morons" could be avoided.;-) not that i believe they're NOT medieval-minded morons... perhaps they are. but at least i try to argue calmly.
yes, i read your comment carefully, and
no, i did not check the linke to the Washington Post.
yah, but the fact that it applies to the logo does not mean it does not apply to the rest of the package.;-)
i could not find the original license on their page, so the latter does seem to be hard to verify.
flag burning was actually the theme of republican readers during the bush sen. administration.
"amendment to be" was not just a joke, but was in fact seriously considered... please consult contemporary "doonesbury" and "this modern world" comic strips for more cynical remarks.
still comparing this to WWII...will you guys NEVER learn? a country can always just wage war on another country. never ever on an ideology.
it just does not work.
have you seen the pictures on CNN of palestinians celebrating in the streets, yelling "allah is great"? i mean, come on. do you think you can address this kind of hatred with your puny cruise-missile-concept of foreign intervention?
have you ever thought that this might as well be the result of 50 years (or more) of selfish, sortsighted (i hardly dare say IMPERIALIST) foreign policy?
"MY COUNTRY, GOOD OR BAD" is bullshit.
accept that. please.
imagine him dead. or even better, imagine him sentenced to death by a U.S. court.
with the kind of outrage created by such an act of martyrism you could level WAY more than just south manhattan.
actually, i am quite sure that killing ossama bin laden might as well be the worst thing do you could possibly imagine in terms of addressing fundamentalist terrorism.
rather, the discussion should be about alleviating the current situation and improving chances of this not happening again...
outrage does not justify senseless acts of terror on foreign countries. even if the perpetrator is the shining light of liberty on the hill.
by the way:
yes, i am American, and
yes, most of the arguments put forward on slashdot make me feel proud to live abroad.
being in this business myself i can tell you that if these programmers WANTED a higher wage, they could get it -- but would have to move to the U.S., which, many of them don't want to do.

not only is this totally insecure, but all users without root access are utterly fucked when they want to install some custom software and
then again, open source software development is obviously a cancer in the oh so fertile body of commercial software development.
while i agree that patents as such may not be bad there should be a (licensing) scheme (as in the open source movement) to protect the public domain (say, our genes).

then again, the very same thing happened to me when i installed debian/ppc a while ago...
so why does he call for GNU/Linux, then?

hm... a unix, perhaps? considering the heritage of darwin, it's likely going to be one of the following:
alternatively, if you do feel a little geekish, slap Linux/PPC or any of the *BSD (though preferably NetBSD) on it.

given the amount of quarrelling in the linux development scene, and the lack of acceptance of the GPL i would not be so sure about that.

if you had read up on WWII history, you would know that appeasement WORKED, because it bought the allies the time they needed to prepare for war.
