You're right, they can do whatever they want. No one is saying they can't. The fact is though, that it depreciates the value of Red Hat. I can get Debian or Mandrake for free, and get a similar service, with no extra charge.
Actually, if one were to number based on which number release the package is, then it would be a whole number "1", rather than "1.0". If one uses a system with "1.0", then it makes sense that the first number, the major version number would indicate a feature complete and thoroughly bugtested release, and that any minor version number increase would indicate bugfixes or small feature changes.
There is a fundamental difference between a link opening up several ad windows involuntarily and this situation. When a link opens up several ad windows involuntarily, it is an added and unexpected annoyance. In this case, however, it was not as though no one expected that there would not be any ads on the site linked to, and thus it was not an unexpected annoyance, nor was it something that almost every other site linked to from Slashdot has not already done. This adds to the fact that a person who follows the link to ThemeStream does not have to pay any money. They are merely helping to contribute money to the non-profit organization, without any extra effort. In fact, this is better than if it was a link to, for instance, ZDNet, because in that case, the money goes to the company.
I know what you're trying to say, but generally you're wrong. The links you refer to that link to unrelated things are "soft-links." They are not part of any of the writeups in the node, and they do not purport to define anything in the node. They are merely automatically created links that show what nodes people came from and what nodes people go to to and from the node where the soft-links are. In the nodes 'Linux,' 'RMS,' and 'Microsoft' there are sufficient "cursory definitions," which you later say is what you want in an online encyclopedia. In addition, especially in 'Linux' and 'Microsoft' there are a number of writeups that are highly factual and full of content.
Still, any dearth of encyclopedic information on Everything2 and, indeed, in any other online user-generated reference source, the information all comes from unpaid volunteers. They don't focus on things that they don't like and, because no one's getting paid, you're of course going to find flimsy information and a complete lack of information for some areas.
This addresses a slightly different issue, but I believe it still pertains to your question. If this is your first release, it seems to me that means it has not seen any substantial outside testing. Because of that, I would number it either "release 1" or "version 1", but better yet, release it as something like "0.9.0" if all of the features are implemented or something like "0.6.0" or "0.2.0" depending on how feature-complete the application is. This avoids confusion when a "1.0.0" implies that it is more feature-complete or slightly more tested than it actually is.
You say that SuSE is 6 CDs. Well, I haven't used SuSE, but I highly doubt you need to install everything on those 6 CDs in order for the system to work.
You say that Linux is bloated. How can you say this in face of the facts. You can fit Linux on a floppy disk if all you want to do is some really basic stuff. If you want more stuff, you can have more stuff, you can. It's not like the distros are requiring you to install every package. You can install what you want and only what you want.
With a Debian FTP install you download only the pacakages that you select to install. Thus, you're only spending bandwidth on stuff that you want.
An isotop has the same atomic number but a different atomic weight and, you are correct, it doesn't affect anything except the number of neutrons.
This is isotropic, though, which is different. When something is isotropic it has physical properties, such as conductivity and elasticity, that are the same regardless of the direction of measurement.
The versions of gcc and glibc are development snapshots. It may not even be the same format that is used in the Stable release. When you have a stable release, all the distro makers jump on it, and keep it for a long while. That stable release stays compatible for a very long time, because the patches for Stable releases strive to keep good compatibility with the previous patches/release.
I hope you keep in mind that Bush had prepared legal arguments for all possible disputed outcomes. So if Bush won the popular vote but lost the electoral vote, he would have taken it to court as well.
NetBSD is best for having a uniform operating system on multiple architectures, or using nonstandard architectures that are not supported by FreeBSD or OpenBSD.
Because the focus of OpenBSD is on security, OpenBSD is considered the best distro for security of the three.
-There were something like six times as many votes for Pat Buchanan in that county than in the counties of the rest of the state.
-That county has significantly more Jewish people than the rest of the state.
-Pat Buchanan is anti-Semitic. He is also against the Jewish state of Israel.
Why would there be so many more votes for Pat Buchanan in a predominantly Jewish county when the other counties have less Pat Buchanan votes yet they have less of a Jewish population?
The machines that tabulate votes are closed-source. The people who make these machines will not even tell you how they work. They consider it their "intellectual property" to own and keep secret exactly how the system of vote tabulation works.
They were created in the past by people with the foresight and knowledge to lay the groundwork for this to happen. They are created today by people with foresight and knowledge. But they are NOT created by the general populace. They were created by a few intelligent people. They create it, and they cannot sustain it without the help of the general populace.
If that Representative Goss was any smart, he would have stuck his fancy-schmancy wonder-law in an appropriations bill. It would have been approved lickety-split. You can put anything in those appropriations bills. Not only does no one care, but the President will approve it!
Even if this weren't just a political maneuver, which it is, he's giving an extremely small amount of his total assets. This would be like you or I giving $100 a year to such an effort. It's just a small sum of money when compared to the average person's total salary. If Bill Gates were to give $20 billion, that would be a significant amount of his fortune, and even then, he would still have more money than almost every person in the world individually will ever have. This is in no way indicative of any goodwill by him.

I don't know if this is what you're talking about, but look at these pages: http://www.mandrakeforum.org/article.php?sid=730&m ode=thread&order=0&thold=0 and http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/3/18267.html

This is only a statement of fact.

The title of the book says that it's Microsoft's techniques. It seems that those techniques don't really work.
gcc "2.96" has problems compiling some things, specifically the kernel. The kernel will not compile at all. So you can't just "recompile" everything.
I know for a fact that Mandrake has had XFree86 4 and USB support included as options for a while now, before Red Hat 7 was released.
The versions of gcc and glibc are development snapshots. It may not even be the same format that is used in the Stable release. When you have a stable release, all the distro makers jump on it, and keep it for a long while.

If Microsoft jumped off a bridge, would you do it to?

-Pat Buchanan is anti-Semitic. He is also against the Jewish state of Israel.
Why would there be so many more votes for Pat Buchanan in a predominantly Jewish county when the other counties have less Pat Buchanan votes yet they have less of a Jewish population?
And it was never answered.

I've seen more functionality and stability in a piece of OSS at version 0.2 than in a final release of Windows.
No, and I'm a bastard for it. But if I were, that wouldn't make me a saint.
