  3. Not Creative Commons licensed, sadly... on Agile/XP Book Freely Available · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Given they want to make it free download for non-commercial use only, it would have been really nice (and sensible, too) to publish under a Creative Commons license.

  5. Re:good for debian, good for users on Debian Announces Sarge Will Include GNOME 2.8 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I have this weird little bug in GNOME under Ubuntu - when I log in, I get an XFree 'X' cursor in the middle of the screen, and it won't go away.

    Apart from that, it's all really quite nice. I'm looking forward to running UserLinux though.

    If you came across the GNU movement before you found Windows; why not let the OS name credit both parties and remind users of the freedom that the FSF promotes.

  7. Re:CNN will crash it on Is Firefox 1.0 Less Stable than Firefox PR1.0? · · Score: 1

    It's not free software, as far as I can see.

    what is there for playing Flash in Free Software?

    swf-play under Debian seems to be the best of what there is right now.

    Jabber's problem is that it seems to be a real pain to get an account.

    It's all very well everyone being able to start a jabber server, but how do you let people sign up for an account quickly, reliably and within gAIM?

    Actually, I'm working on improving the website first, but then I hope to work on improving accessibility of free software.

    I care because my country seems to support the US in whatever they do.

    I care because of the USA, my country went to fight a 'war' against a country that didn't have any of the weapons that were listed as the reason for going in.

    I care because I'm a member of this world just like anyone else.

  21. Re:Who does OBL want in power? on Pre-Election Discussion · · Score: 1

    Given OBL's dislike for the west, perhaps the fact that a large amount of the western world outside of the USA appears to dislike Bush a lot, then perhaps this somehow works for him.

  22. I'm in England and I'm not American... but... on Pre-Election Discussion · · Score: 1, Redundant

    I hope that everyone who can vote, bothers to. No matter what you decide to vote for, taking the time to vote is important.

    Personally, I'd like to see Bush out of office, and I assume that if that happens, it'll be Kerry that does it.

  23. Re:Ahead of Mac on Firefox Shooting For 10 Percent · · Score: 1

    Ahead of Mac how?

    Firefox runs on Mac, Windows, GNU, etc.

    More people using Firefox on anything than people running anything on a Mac less Firefox? Perhaps, but I'm sure a fair few Mac users run Firefox.

    I have a Mac, amongst other things and it runs Firefox.

    Was Kylix actually free software? I've just tried to find a copy on their website, and although there's an 'Open' version, it doesn't seem to be free software, just a gratis download.

    However, things may have changed.
