I suppose it depends on *which* Epson cartridges you use. I have an Epson Stylus C80, and the cartridges it uses *definitely* have electronics on board which prevent refilling (though you can buy a third-party chip reprogrammer to fix that).
The point is that RMS is not trying to co-opt Linux. Linux is a kernel, and only a kernel. GNU/Linux is the Linux kernel *plus* the GNU environment. If you're not using the GNU environment, then it's not called "GNU/Linux", and RMS knows this.
"GNU/Linux" is the same concept as "TCP/IP". It's "GNU over Linux" or GNU running on top of Linux, just TCP runs on top of IP. It's not rocket science.
If you find Notepad to be a little limited, try using gvim. It takes a bit of effort to learn how to use its features (syntax highlighting, text folding, vertical block selection, macros, and many, many more things), but since gvim has a menu system, all you need to know is:
When in command mode, press "i" to enter insert mode
When in insert mode, press "Esc" to enter command mode
Try libverisignfix.c.
It's an LD_PRELOAD hack to intercept gethostbyname, gethostbyname_r, and gethostbyname2_r. It doesn't intercept anything else (like getaddrinfo), but it works in Mozilla.
The problem is the mindsets of both software publishers and customers. Many software publishers have this convoluted idea that, because they are writing software for a computer, they have some implicit right to dictate terms to the computer's owner. They seem to forget what I like to call the Golden Rule of Software Development: Software developers must ensure that the software they write obeys - and only obeys - the computer's master. That is, software is simply a tool used by a computer's "master" (this is usually the computer's owner, but not always) to accomplish certain goals.
The Free/Libre/Open-Source Software (FLOSS) movement seems to understand this, but many mass-market proprietary software developers are still able to flout this rule. Unfortunately, most computer users have become accustomed to being subservient to their software.
My own experience with most FLOSS has been much like my experience with high-speed Internet service: I can never go back. I think once people get a good taste of what using well-behaved software is like, things will quickly change. The only things that can get in the way of this change are:
The fact remains that it is much more difficult to secure a Windows machine against this kind of thing than a Free *nix machine, simply due to the fact that Windows ships with a lot more cruft that the average admin doesn't understand.
Wherever is appropriate. The "slippery slope" is not a valid argument in any debate, unless there is some compelling basis from which one can show otherwise.

I always took it to be Fat Joe Sixpack, where Sixpack refers to half a 12-pack of beer or something.
Wrong. RTFW
I always run "vim" anyway.

You can learn the rest as you use it.

What makes you think [DR]NA needed to exist at this stage of development? That could develop later.
Yes, I know the code is ugly. I was just karma-whoring. :-)
They only control 3 out of 13 (a, c, and d if memory serves. The non-verisign domain servers don't do this BS).
Really? So now we have inconsistent gTLD nameservers? Wonderful.

Oh well. As long as they don't get a patent on it (can you spell "o b v i o u s"?), I guess it's fine.
Your terminal does not disconnect while removing all files.
Behind the scenes. Go read Kernel Traffic sometime.
VMware will not work on PPC, because unlike Bochs or VPC, it does not emulate an IA-32 (Intel 32-bit processor architecture).

They're DoS attacks, not DOS attacks!
Isn't that "Piece of Shit", you fool?
So VMware/Linux is a kludge, because that system is backward-compatible with DOS and Windows?
I have a favourite saying, as well: "For every problem there is one solution [saying] which is simple, neat, and wrong."
If that's the case, then the code is GPL-compatible after all!
