I concur. It would be a serious blow to the GPL community to have someone like TimeWarner and their nasty cohorts involved. The Penguin using AOL? God Forbid.
Wow. You went from banner ads and pop-ups to terrorism. You must work for double-click. The internet is not and will not become a television. We (slashdot; aka the people) will not have our programming interrupted by vicious unwanted commercials. You have obviously forgotten the fundamental fact that the internet is a medium belonging to the whole and any one attempting to dominate that whole thru mindless banner-ads and pop-ups will be shunned and looked upon in disgrace.
For many of us, the internet is our back yard. Any thing that falls in my backyard, be it software, mp3's, dvd's, or anything else, is fair game. Don't like that? Then get out of my backyard.
I may not own the brodcast TV antenna's but I do own the bandwidth that comes through my pipe and I will regulate and dominate it's content. Trynig to overload my pipe with pop-ups and banners w/o my permission is likely to result in an unexpected server crash.
When this many people bitch, you'd think people would get the point.

Looks Great! But what is that nasty OS it's running?

I agree. I have a feeling laws regarding SMTP headers would also have a negative impact on the ability to send anonymous email.

They can have my keyboard when they pry it from my COLD DEAD FINGERS. First they try to take it away, now they want to borrow it?? I trow not.
