I'm in the UK too... most of my friends and family have bought Macs. Most of the people I see at conferences, speaking about various things from Free Software, to the web, they too use Macs.
I'm in the UK, and when I bought my 17 inch PowerBook (since sold), it initially arrived with a damaged screen, and over the period of about 7 weeks, Apple sent several replacements, all of which were stolen by their courier company. They seem to have changed now, as my copy of Tiger was delivered by TNT, not Initial. I'm not sure which company was actually stealing the things.
a) it's the LGPL 2) they're doing everything they have to d) the ACID2 patches have been released to KHTML developers before Apple have actually released them, themselves.
Sure, Apple could be doing more, but they're not violating anything.
Dave Hyatt seems fairly responsive to emails. He's replied to one's I've sent in the past asking questions about Safari. He's a Free Software guy, I'm sure he can appreciate the frustrations here, and might be able to help - afterall, I don't believe he, or Apple really want to 'screw over' the KHTML people - it might just be that communications haven't been really made.
I guess what they're really saying is that iTunes is the only online-music store that caters for iPod users. Not true of course, I know of at least one.
Plone is really really good. I use it on all my sites.
I thought I'd give Drupal a go - installed it, which wasn't particularly friendly, even when compared to PHP apps like Wordpress... it all seems a little like a souped-up blogging tool, instead of a real CMS.
Software patent guideline: European Union parliament requires restart of the procedure
The co-ordinators of the responsible legal committee of the European Union parliament approximately set the switches this evening in the procedure around the planned guideline over the patenting barness of " computer-implemented inventions" seriously to restart. "we decided practically unanimously with only two abstentions that our president explained at the commission a Rekonsultation requested", to SPE Koordinatorin Maria Berger after the approximately three-hour meeting opposite heise on-line. As soon as parliament president Josep Borrell Fontelles follows that urge of the legal committee, the commission is requested to be concerned again with the guideline. Concretely the commission is to send their original guideline suggestion either again to the European Union parliament or submit a new.
Thus the legislation way was walked on completely from the front. The delegates support themselves by article 55 of the agenda of the European parliament. It plans a renewed fundamental concerning of the delegates with a guideline suggestion among other things, if the kind of the treated problem changes "crucially" or the parliament assembles again after definition of its point of view by elections. Appropriate requests had placed a group of 61 delegates as well as the Greens.
The legal committee had looked for Charlie McCreevy in the afternoon first together with domestic market commissioner for ways out of the muddled situation. The Irish had called recently the verabschiedung of the legislation still pending "key measure" for the stimulation of innovation and competition . With the meeting McCreevy spoke now of a "delicate affair". The of Luxembourg council presidency received in the meantime written promises for the Abnicken of the position of the Minister committee without further discussion during one of the next meetings. Naturally however a "constructional dialogue" is necessary between advice and parliament for the reaching of an agreement. In the question, whether the commission desire after a new start will follow, it did not want to commit itself. It stressed that "all options were open". At the same time he said the fact that the guideline was actually important since to a "considerable juridical insecurity" leads everything else.
The European Union advice is guessed/advised with its in May negotiated position into a dead end, since this limits the patenting barness of computer programs in the opinion of countries such as Poland not sufficiently . The government of the new entry country prevented therefore the Abnicken of the point of view of the Minister committee already several times . In addition, Denmark blocked past week the official verabschiedung of the advice position again.
Hartmut Pilch, executive committee of the promotion association for a free Informationelle infrastructure ( FFII ), made opposite heise on-line clear that he is for a revision of the advice position by the Minister committee. If the advice should not change its attitude however, the way for a restart, hit now, is the secondarybest solution. The Austrian Berger is pleased in particular that "we brought back movement into the thing. We must come in the long run to a legislation, which is closer at the point of view of the parliament than at the advice position ". The European Union delegates had in September 2004 in 1. Reading a guideline version submitted, which would put a latch plate for software patents forward . Also for their land woman, the Green EH Lichtenberger, is the current "courageous" initiative of the committee "a good beginning, but not yet the lucky end in the question of patenting of software."
The parliament correspondent for the guideline, the French socialist and ex Prime Minister Michel Rocard, expressed themselves however against a restart. He fears that the changes from the 1. Reading so to be lost could come and in particular a guideline still more harmful for the middle class or the procedure completely adjust could. Also Piia Noora Kauppi, Schattenberichterstatterin for the people's party, had first doubts about a renewed 1. Reading expressed. In the long run it gave in however, since there is in its opinion momentarily no other way out.
Sure you can. If you write custom software for clients, they pay you to write it, and you can GPL it.
Big proprietary software isn't going to work like this, I'll give you that, but for the custom software developer, it can work nicely. I make money installing and configuring GPL code, specifically the Content Management System, Plone - when I am finished writing a custom project for a client, I will use the GPL to license it in a way that lets others use it too.

Don't you think I can?

I just want wireless power. Then I'll be happy.
Hah, no. I do remember him though, trying to wind up RMS and not doing particularly well at it.
Told y.. No wait, okay.. what about something like Chill!soft ASP/Apache?
Do you have to upgrade to Windows 2003?
Is this place actually the Watershed itself? I saw RMS speak, there.

They should really use some of your money to employ a spellchecker.

The slogan of the music software program Winamp, "Winamp, it really whips the Llama's ass", was inspired by Willis' song "Whip the Llama's Ass" from his album Guitar Rock of Ages.
Hope this helps.

No noticable problems. Has anyone heard of a 'grinding' noise problem with powerbook g4s (less than a year old) though?
er.. that link looks like it's for s2e15, recorded on the 9th of May 2005.
Nice idea, except they're not violating the GPL!.
a) it's the LGPL
2) they're doing everything they have to
d) the ACID2 patches have been released to KHTML developers before Apple have actually released them, themselves.

Email him - ask?

I notice it's a DVD only too. I spoke to Apple Store UK who didn't seem to get that I have an eMac with no DVD drive and an iMac G3 with no DVD drive.
But apparently "it should er.. install across the er.. um.. network, if you have a computer with a DVD drive. Like a PC? Um. Yeah."
And should come with any Mac you buy, or if not, is a freebie download from Apple.
take a look for yourself
The tuner wouldn't really need a display. There are plenty of radios out there which just have a next or previous autotune functionality.
You pronounce the slash too. GNU Linux suggests that the FSF wrote Linux :)
Re: your sig.

2.4mb storage? Where do I sign up?
They probably wouldn't have invested in Apple.

It's not against that. It's ideal for that.
