It means i dont support their government, because of what they do: This "revamping" of our copyright laws merely beign another straw on a broken camel.
"Now, get these XFree guys to work with the Linux/BSD kernel guys, the toolkit guys, the DE guys and even with the Freetype/Fontconfig guys to *architect* things *together* by pushing the envelope and *innovate*. And then we are talking"
This is excatly what i think should happen. We need to get everyone together all the time and Innovate. FOSS is the perfect place for innovation to grow, yet the splintering of diffrent groups blows all those efforts out the water!
When all these developers know what everyone else is doing and working on, and how they can hook into eachother, is when we will begin to see innovations that will shoot past M$, or even Apple. But until then, we are stuck in bitter "licencing argument" land, and pissy little fights between Devs.
Sure, perhaps we wont be able to get the "kernel engineer's cube was right next to the app_server engineer's cube" situation happening, but right now what OSS needs most is Cohesiveness. For now, that is the one leg up that MS has on us, as the Open source community, is a cohesive process, where (At least i hope, otherwise MS is in a worse state than i though) the developers know what is happening next, and where. They can then anticipate with their coding and make the product come out even better.
This is not meant to be a black mark on OSS, because for the way we do things now we have produced some pretty incredible products, however we need a paradigm bump, moving towards somthing that fits together much better.
And people wonder why i'm not a freaking liberal. Just like any politician, its all "We promise X, We promise Y." Post Election.... X and Y never happen.
Our government wonders why the 18-25 voting range has such low turn out: It's because we are young, cynical and have lost faith in the way that our political system is supposed to work. No one wants to vote, because there are no good parties to vote for. (Well, for me, the closest i go for is NDP). Now that Paul has decided to take away our electronic freedoms, i wonder how much longer the liberal party will stay in power. My best bet: Until all the older voters die. Best be pumping money into health care Mr.Martin, because your best voting base is dying.
Would have caught me, under the slashdotting, were it not for the wonderfully fake picture provided. If the world looked like that, then we all would want glasses.
I wonder how long till this is patented: Patent for associating geographic data with images.
Boy, wouldnt that blow. All of a sudden this interesting field being monopolized by microsoft. While it is an interesting concept, i cant see myself using it if it was a patented process... unless i hacked together a solution myself. It wouldnt be that hard with the textual comments in the JPEG headers.
Here are some more...

What about the amazing commercial that CBS turned down for the superbowl because it was too political.
This guy has been my hero since winamp 2. Of course, i lost faith after the winamp 3 debacle, but anyhow.
I think that this guy could have slashdown groupies if he wanted;)
The problem with ritalin lies in the depression factor that has been showing up in research recently. There are many studies showing that ritalin can cause a form of brain damage only shown in cocaine addicts previously. This is because it [ritalin] affects the way that the brain is reaction to dopamine and other neurostimulants. Ritalin is a Schedule two drug as classified by the FDA. Here are a series of links that i HIGHLY reccomend that you read.
I'm certain that this has been said elsewhere, but... here it is again in all its gloy:
Yay, online petitions, the most (In)effective way to effect change in the world.
Its a wonder that a person this gullible ever even accumulated a $250000 nest egg anyhow. I wonder how this man has survived life for so long, without being tricked into jumping off a cliff for 15 bucks with the chance of getting 12.7 millon if he lives.
The problem is that (if he would change his site) if you are using it for legit reasons then the way that mute works would have all sorts of people transmitting these mp3s etc. This way you cant really charge eveyone, because everyone on the network would be part of the problem.
Yes. Toronto is the wanabe american city... but if there ever was a wanna be american provice.... that dubious honour would have to go straight to Alberta.
While i agree that there is a lot of shit out there, not all of it is american. There is canadian shit, british shite, german ScheiBe and french merde out there.
The stupid thing is that the canadians seem to like their american texan sized shit.
Well first off, i am very offended my your comment that only 74 year old granmothers listen to cbc. I'm 15... and guess what.... cbc is what i listen to. My music does not come through cbc (And not any other radio station canadian or american) i listen to cbc because it is the only place ever where i can get real news and real facts now. Modern media is becoming sensationalist, and is fearmongering for ratings* cough*fox*cough*a-channel*cough*global*. This is a direct result of american influence. I know for a fact that a while ago most media was actually quite sensible, but then people saw the ratings that the american stations were getting and started to drool. The broadcasters here analysed what they say and heard... and boom, they knew the cause was they were bein sensatialistic, so why not imitate them.
American culture is affecting canada.... i'm not saying that that is a bad thing, but your allusion that canadians think their own culture and artist suck is completely wrong and very shortsighted.
Get a brain and realize that
Yes, $25 levy for mp3 players are too big
Canadian's have wonderful artists who infact are mking waves in america right now
Who gives a shit wheather or not we listen to american stations. I dont. I think that radio is just what you said. Noise in the car
Come on, and suck it up princess. This is the real world now. (40% is enough to make you see that there are actually good canadian bands out there not being wiped out by the american music overlords)
I have to agree totally with this. When a child is treated as a child, they learn only that therir behavior is what is expected of them. When they are treated like an adult, they begin to see that they should be acting more like their parents.
Is it april fools? I mean, the largest distributer of linux by far! Going out?
Depending on how we look at it this can either be a devastating blow to OSS or a possible great stride. If RedHat releases all of its IP before it goes tits up then we will have a great contribution... other wise... 'tis a sad day indeed.
I'll bet they dont!
First off, people are misreading this.
Its a loan, not a direct investment from the bank of canada. Second of all wtf is the bank of canada thinking in investing in SCO, after all once this whole lawsuit is over the company will file for chapter eleven!
Slashdot Mirror
Which is why you look to foreign new sources. The national ones in Canada (CBC) and Britian(BBC) are among the best.

Yeah... adding searches has been standard fare in Mozilla for a while now. Mycroft.mozdev.org anyone?

that makes it impossible for a patent holder to hold people hostage on a technology after it becomes ubiquitous.
Really sad that at one point SCO (Caldera) was almost a respectable company.
