I knew slashdotters often don't bother to read the article, but not reading a small comment correctly? C'mon.
I don't give a damn about marketshare or 'which is best' and I didn't made any statement about that either. In fact, I use both Opera and Firefox which both have some good and some bad aspects.
Not bad. 3 out of 6 new features are copied from Opera.
"Sanitize" vs. "Delete private data"
"Fast back (and Forward)" vs. "Rewind" and "Fast Forward"
"Report a broken website wizard" vs. "Help -> Report a site problem"
It means what it is: 'share'. (Although some lawyers argue that sharing without profit should be completely legal. Giving _a_ copies to _a_ friend is legal, if you're not giving copies to _all_ your friends of course.
Gotta love laws:)

Actually, in the Netherlands it's still legal to download music and movies for personal use. It's illegal to share it though, because only the copyright holder has exploitation rights.
Nope, pot isn't legal... but we got a very special word for it... it is 'gedoogd'. Kind of 'fair use' principle. It's still illegal, but if you only have 2 plants in your bedroom or only a few grams of hash/weed with you, the police won't do anything.
The party of Erik Meijer (SP), the guy who asked that question, _is_ pro full legalisation of softdrugs, though:-)
The Linuxgazette is writing a serie of docs about this. They're explaining how to use POD, LaTeX with latex2html and next month DocBook will have it's turn.
The mp3newswire.net story is complete bollocks... they probably thought: 'hey, more than two weeks pasts, KaZaA hasn't shut down, they're probably ignoring the verdict...'. The quotes in the article are even based on things said weeks ago!
The most (and only) interesting part of the article: (translated)
A spokesman from KaZaA's main office in Sweden explains they don't need to [shut down] yet. "Since we're negociating with Buma/Stemra right now, we are not forced to shut down"
I bought (the European version?) of Eels - Souljacker today and there's a lovely little 'IMPORTANT!' box on the back of the cd case.
It says 'This compact disc can be played on any compact disc player.'
And yes, it works fine.
Come on... Eels rocks!:)

Judge: KaZaA must close in two weeks
Thursday, 29 November 2001 - KaZaA must stop making copyright infringements of music artists in two weeks with, a judge decided today.
That's the remarkable outcome of summary proceedings between KaZaA and Buma/Stemra [Dutch RIAA]. If KaZaA ignores the decision they are forced to pay 100,000 Dutch guilders per day, with a maximum of 2 million guilders [1 NLG = about 0.40 USD]. The verdict can mean the end of KaZaA, the largest peer to peer network after Napster.
The judge also decided Buma/Stemra must negotiate with KaZaA within two days about a treaty that will allow KaZaA to legally 'distribute' music. According to KaZaA there already was an oral agreement
with Buma/Stemra when Buma/Stemra canceled negotiations at the last moment.
Victory
KaZaA's lawyer, Christiaan Alberdingk Thijm sees the verdict as a victory, despite the threat of KaZaA being forced to close. "It's of course really nice that Buma/Stemra has to negotiate with us again. That means we still have enough time to make an agreement.
Whether Buma/Stemra and KaZaA will be able to make an agreement within two weeks, Alberdingk Thijm can't say. "I find it difficult to estimate"
But Alberdingk Thijm isn't happy about the passage in the verdict about copyright infringement. "The passage says that KaZaA itself makes copyright infrigments. That's of course nonsense. The users of KaZaA are responsible for that. You could also close down companies that make VCR's with that argument."
Appeal
"You can only have a point when you say KaZaA gives users the possibility to break copyrights, the same argument used against Napster. I have the feeling the judge bungled that part of the verdict", says Alberdingk Thijm.
Thus KaZaA is thinking to appeal against that part of the verdict. "But before we make a decision we'll have to study the verdict again, calmly."
According to Alberdingk Thijm the verdict only has consequences for KaZaA's software. That means the network the company uses [FastTrack], which is also used by Morpheus (MusicCity) and Grokster, will stay 'open'.
People who already installed KaZaA on their computer, would still be able to use the network. KaZaA doesn't use central servers [they do! but it's still 'optional'] as Napster did, so stopping the service is difficult.
Buma/Stemra doesn't want to comment the verdict yet. "We will do that after wes tudied the verdict thoroughly", as George Knops of Buma/Stemra says.

It would be even better if PGP would get some 'public awareness'. I always sign my email, so people will notice when the email is not mine.

Since I've seen a lot of negative posts in response to 'Yawn', I give all the people who didn't look good enough this information:
t co giFT && cd giFT && ./autogen.sh && make && su -c 'make install'
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.gift.sf.net:/cvsroot/gif
You can run 'giFT' after that. Drop into the #gift channel on OPN to get the necessary IP's to connect.
Yes, it does work, but no, it isn't finished yet.
