It's essentially a modified GPL - with a "running this software over a network constitutes distribution" clause.
Very cool - I had no idea this was around - might be worth some Free Software developers jumping onto until GPL v3 comes out (which will have a similar clause).
Take a high resolution screenshot with any complexity
Sure - JPG is better for most photos - but sharp edges, text (including high resolution screenshots of text) and the like look much better under png (bit for bit).
The great mob of volunteers down at Computerbank (a charitable organisation that refurbishes used PCs to run linux and be donated to community groups & individuals) have implemented a thin client system running linux at the Footscray Library in Melbourne, Australia.
Done for virtually no money- and plenty of the users prefer the interface to the more complicated windows systems running along side it!
Read their white paper and (if in Melbourne) go down to the Footscray Library (56 Paisley St, Footscray) and check it out!
Parson was charged here last August because Microsoft is based in suburban Redmond.
"We appreciate the fact that the defendant has accepted responsibility for the crime he committed," Microsoft deputy general counsel Nancy Anderson said Wednesday.
He changed Blaster to make it attack the MPAA & RIAA rather then Microsoft.
An organisation named ComputerBank has set up a thin client network of linux computers running Mozilla Firefox, Openoffice, etc etc alongside an existing network of Windows PCs at the Footscray Library.
It's still on trial at the moment - but from all accounts has been enormously successful - with all linux PCs constantly being used - often in preference to the more complicated windows PCs.
it becomes obvious why we're not so fluent in other languages.
You misunderstand why Americans are disliked.
It is not because Americans don't speak other languages fluently - it is because the vast majority of Americans when travelling overseas make no effort whatsoever to learn even small amounts of the languages and customs of the country they are visiting.
Obviously there are exceptions - possibly you are one of them - but from the trollish way you've phrased your comment I doubt it.

The AGPL is a GNU recognized free software license.
It's essentially a modified GPL - with a "running this software over a network constitutes distribution" clause.
Very cool - I had no idea this was around - might be worth some Free Software developers jumping onto until GPL v3 comes out (which will have a similar clause).
For those who have no idea what I'm going on about - read devchannel's explanation: Closing the GPL's distibution loophole

Slightly offtopic, but noone seems to have mentioned Unisys yet - soon we may be seeing on GNU a page similar to this one: Why There Are No GIF files on GNU Web Pages
Soon we may need a burn all jpegs day

Are you talking about Microsoft or Parson?

Microsoft should thank him
If you think that is scary, you know the Do-Not-Call list that is out by the FTC
The FCC cannot regulate the entire world - just the US.
Spammers can operate from other countries without worrying about FCC's do-not-call lists (or using compromised boxes for that matter).
I wouldn't be surprised if they used it for their ATMs
Yes. They do
I don't want to be a Java troll or anything - but a Database written in Java?
Sounds sloooooooooooow to me.
The Americans won the first race
Which first race?
Do you mean: (from Wikipedia's space race page)
The first artificial satellite?
The first animal in space?
The first fly by moon?
The first spacecraft on moon?
The first human in space?
They were the earliest space achievements - and all 'won' by the USSR.
The American's won the race to get the first man on the moon - no more, no less.
America did not win the space race.
America did not win the 'first' race.
56.32704 kilometers
uh huh. I'm sure they measured to the centimeter - do we really need 5 decimal places for the ks equivilant of 35 miles?
On a more serious note - I and most people who read international articles are well able to deal in miles or kilometers.
Not that slashdot couldn't be a little more international mind you.
