You are correct. WTF is "intellectual property" anyway? It certainly isn't tangible property like land or the CD sitting here on my desk. "Intellectual property" is nothing more than jots on a paper, a series of bits, or a thought. There is no objective reason for regulating it, other than people who would like more power than they actually have as human beings.
You're crying about $120 per month? Poor little ol' me pays $350 per month for 2 computers that are on 24/7 and 2 others that are on half the time.:-) Thank goodness Pixar doesn't go through my power company.:-P
BTW, three of the computers are AMD, and the other is a Cyrix (it's from before VIA purchased Cyrix.)
Today he really needs to get his bowels moving. This herbal formula really does the trick. Man, does it do the trick!
Tip: Slip it in your enemy's hot, spicy, Mexican food. It's main ingredient is Capsicum (cayenne peppers); he won't notice it a bit, until his next bowel movement:-)
I've used just about every browser out there for Windows and Linux, and I believe that Phoenix, even though it's still beta, is the best browser available. True, Opera sometimes renders pages faster, but Phoenix actually renders the pages correctly. Opera doesn't stick to the standards very well sometimes. And, it caches everything in sight, which is not good for web developers. That's mainly why I stick with Mozilla and Phoenix.
Last time I heard of an attempt to build a real jet pack, it could only lift I think about 100 punds two feet off the ground. I hope this is more successful!
CodeWeavers makes some neat stuff. I've even got my boss to want to try out the server version when it came out. The only problem is that it doesn't support QuickBooks, which is a critical function where I work.:-( We'll see what happens.
There's always a way around DRM. I know someone who downloaded a warez copy of Windows XP Pro that didn't require registration. I don't know where he got it or how, and I don't want to know.
Yes, in my opinion, BIND is bad. I've used both, and I use djbdns in a production environment at work. Also, the license isn't as locked down as you think. Dan only says that you can't make changes to the program or the directory structure it sits in without his permission. If Linux distros didn't have a problem with his funny directory structure, it (and qmail, which is also his) would be alot more widespread.
I don't know whether ISOC would use the Buggy Internet Name Daemon or not, but I know Paul Vixie would definitely use it. Here is Dan Berstein's feelings about BIND:
http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/blurb/unbind.html . I know from personal experience that BIND is big, slow, and the config files are a nightmare, whereas Dan's djbdns is wonderful. I hope whoever get's.org will use djbdns.
Just click the link, a page pops up that says slashdot.org isn't an allowed referrer. So, just click in the location bar and press enter. They get a stupidly beautiful message:-P

When I was a little tacker, I used to read my dad's Oh! Pascal all the time :-)
Three cheers for the Ferengis!!! You evil hu-mons!
ME TOO! GO AOL!

And start out by figuring out which species CmdrTaco, Hemos, and CowboyNeal are.

The site appears to be slashdotted.

Cool, I didn't know RedHat's logo signed a contract to star in his very own game! And they're even doing a sequel!!

really cool to see Linux making strides in the mainframe department. I guess after that, the desktop is the next frontier.
that they don't have good innocent games like they used too. Pitfall, Donkey Kong, and Breakout... oh I'm getting too sentimental :-)
It would work better over 2 tin cans and 5 pieces of string (or more possibly wire) for Cat 5 :-)
For pete's sake! I heard it first on MSNBC (on the News with Brian William, even) before I ever saw it on Slashdot.
Show me a soccer mom who can just pick up Windows and Office and use it for the first time :-)
...M$ doesn't use winelib, and if they use GTK for the widget set. BTW, IE for Linux, no thanks.
