OK, suppose I want an OpenStep desktop on a GNU/Linux system... What desktop should I use? GnuStep gives me no good answer!
GNUstep is development environment, not a window manager
Many people have confused GNUstep with WindowMaker. GNUstep, however, is not a window manager. WindowMaker is the most often-used NeXT-looking application on a non-NeXT system. WindowMaker also uses a derivation of the GNUstep logo. WindowMaker is the preferred GNUstep window manager, but GNUstep applications also work with any window manager, although you're most likely, currently, to have a more cohesive desktop experience if you use the two in conjunction.
Relation to WindowMaker
WindowMaker is a window manager, not a workspace manager nor a file browser. It is nothing more. WindowMaker and GNUstep share almost no libraries or functionality. WindowMaker is written in C, and GNUstep is written in Objective-C. WindowMaker does make certain things easier for GNUstep, but it is not GNUstep itself, although it is a part of the project.
Well, then... GnuStep seems to recommend WM as the choice for Gnustep applications, but isn't itself Gnustep in any way.
Is there anything that is? I would like to install and play for at least five minutes...
Well, considering that the Celeron (US$75) and the Sempron 2800+ ($US75) cost the same, but the Celeron beat the cheaper of the two AMD offerings fairly regularly, does that now make Intel the new Price / Performance leader? Amd has held that spot for years now...
"Wasting your vote" has been used my whole life, and it will continue to be a strawman argument until it stops being useful. There is no "right now we only need to worry about now, and not the long-term future."
Change what you can now, and do so then, as well. Vote your conscience, not your paranoia.
I have been told many times that something can be redundant even if it's the FP, because it's been said so many times before. This doesn't seem to be a rule that's applied uniformly, though, or almost everything here would be moderated that way.
Regretfully, what happens in civil court doesn't orften reflect the outside world. I think another suit will have to be filed with Amazon's claims as part of the complaint for them to be taken seriously and the patent thrown out (or at least clarified).
So long as neither Bush nor Kerry are sworn in next January, the federal government will end up stagnating (which, IMO, is a very good thing), with perhaps a slight nudge in the direction the new president wants it to go.
I'm pretty sure that the Constitution was written with that in mind (including the VP being the runner-up in the Presidential election).
OT: I've always said that
I liked the Libertarian platform, but the individual candidates always seem to be nutcases.
Libertarians could never win, because, by virtue of their beliefs, they can't organize well enough to get a message out. (Two-party rigging aside)
However, at the end of the day these platforms couldn't run the software people wanted without jumping through hoops like Digitals binary translator. No apps, no interest.
Sounds pianfully familiar to the reason the "Million Linux PC Program" failed in Thailand...
I agree with the other reply to you, and want to add that, instead of releasing these patents as public domain, they should offer free perpetual licensing to OSS software with some well-defined restrictions on licensing type.
This usually happens before a civil war of some sort.
Good luck now that your gov't has taken away all your weapons. Ever notice that "modern" nations never have a revolution? It's because we, as citizens, don't have the means to revolt.
Oh, yeah, and insert the mandatory movement vs. revolution quote here.
I'm sorry, but in what modern form of English (i.e. neither British nor American) are either "don't" or "doesn't" completely acceptable with third person singular subjects?

Bug #267338 (note the "Update 2: The problem is NOT fixed in 2.6.8.1"
From here: Consensus on this seems to be that the kernel will not be fixed, that the old
way the userland tools used to speak to the burners involve security holes,
and thus the userland tools (cdrecord and co) need to be fixed.
Yeah, that was the chipset where I finally made the full switch to Linux, because Win98/ME wouldn't boot more than three times without me reinstalling the drivers.

I'm not going to dispute you, but this is a well-known bug, not FUD. Many of us are still running 2.6.7 in Debian because 2.6.8 (any version) is still broken. I don't know what you did to get it to work, but the Debian bug report says that 2.6.8.1 wasn't fixed.

Well, leaders should lead and not be cowed (sp?) into submission so simply. Presidential hopefuls are should especially be judged this way.

So, then, are Novel and IBM supporting "Democracy" or the "Evil Empire?" ;)

Anyway, I think that the "assault weapons" in Texas would hardly be called that by a soldier. "Toy" might be a better term.
How many high powered rifles do you own? Automatic weapons? You'll need these to fight a war...

Thailand has quite a few plants, so I was actually wondering if it might be produced there, but wasn't holding my breath.
Produced in Asia -- anyone know where?
Dude... Someone doesn't like you!
I'm pretty sure that you would die of pressure sickness.
Whatever else it is, like maybe a silly joke, possibly insightful, it is not offtopic.

Because, in the eyes of elitist Dems, all evil is Republican. See my sig.

I understand that cdrecord works properly when run as root, so maybe that's what you're doing (maybe suid)?
