In Australia, we have a end date of 2008 for Analogue TV.
We had a simular situation with Analogue mobile phones. Every bushman wanted it (which I can state, going to a remote location every weekend, that I can't live without/.:) ), but the government didn't reverse the decision. Now we have CDMA as it's replacement, 2G and 3G. 3G is only popular because of it's price. A lot of people still love their 2G phones. My Dad doesn't like the offers that his phone network (starts with V ends with e) is giving him. He wants to stay with his Nokia 6210 (Cyber Silver Ed.), because it works.
Personally, I just think attempts to create an alternative GPS system is just space pollution. You have 3 sattelites telling your location all the time. Do you need more?
What if, because of this GPL mess, that manufacturers go to Windows Embedded and nextgen devices end up with some Internet connectivity or something.
I wouldn't like to see "The system is now shutting down due to some RPC shit. This shutdown was initiated by NTAUTHORITY\SYSTEM" in the middle of a DVD movie.
Also, very few firms currently worry about removing cabling when they move out of a building.
Well, we have a sattelite dish that our tennant installed, and we kept it in place, because our estate agent thought "It would make the place more attractive".
So, whats better?
Leaving ethernet points in = $0 Pulling out and putting in new ones = <insert_cost_of_pulling_out_+_putting_in_+_permits _etc>
Didn't NPR run an article on this? But NPR's article stated that using P2P AT ALL will trigger the warning.
Thats got me worried.
P2P CAN Be used as a legimate software distribution medium. i.e FreeBSD and some other free software tend to get a lot of hits on my upload queue.
So, if users were getting Linux ISO's over p2p in the university/corporate network, and this software triggers false warnings, who knows what will happen.
About time. Jazilla can't renderer even one bit of/., because several td tags a broken, and our HTML parser ( JTidy ) can't be bothered fixing them up.
The crap thing is, it blocks us from accessing it in our free time too.
Now he is banning application/x-debian-package, application/x-redhat-package-manager and application/x-tar. But not application/x-msdownload and application/ocet-stream.
By the way, anyone know a Debian mirror which uses application/ocet-stream instead of the x-* whatever?
As a teenager, I don't want people barging into my life.
If my parents want to know what the fruck I am doing, they can shut up.
I should have a right to keep myself to myself.
CensorWare sucks.
The school admin banned Eric S. Raymonds site just because I d/l'ed some big PowerPoint about SCO's fraudulent actions. Not suprising since they are a M$ shop. I had to waste a few kilobytes on an email to the smartass I.T admin telling him that "This content is NOT questionable".
Also, while I was doing an assingment into drug addiction, several useful sites were blocked, and I had to access them from home. Uhh, I'd rather be running "apt-get dist-upgrade" on my home boxes, not surfing for info about drugs.
But what happens when DX9 games get ported to Linux. That would require use of NVIDIA's Cg toolkit, and ATI cards suck at Cg games.
Unless you want some silly texture hack for your favorite Quake/Unreal/Doom/HalfLife character or water in maps. Uhh, I'll prefer the pixel shaded version, thank you.
1) An OpenGL driver is an entire OpenGL implementation. Its not like a NIC where the whole thing is small, hardware-specific, and mostly useless to any other manufacturer. There is tons of stuff in there that ATI would love to get their hands on.
AFAIK, isn't their implementation from SGI.
Oh yes, did I say that their driver has a NV30 Emulator.
NVIDIA has their Cg shader tools kinda open sourced though. All of their Cg shader stuff can run on Linux.
Ever heard of the 'pro3d' segment. You know, the ones which allow movie studios to release dr00lable movie characters every few months.
Or the 'i-read-stock-prices-and-therefore-don't-need-3d' segment. That's what the Quadro NVS is for. It doesn't advertise the 3d overhead in the parhelia, instead it advertises the ability for a quad display. Perfect for those stock market analysts screens and/or evil mans cinema room.
Of course..

Guys, we are scaring them off.

Stable branches of Mozilla (1.4.1) are deemed stable for embedders not end users.
.org developer will tell you.
Thats what any Moz
then why isn't the story from the darl-sucks-balls-and-smokes-crack dept. ?

I take that back, in M3 Alpha (which was just released), /. works to some degree

Wouldn't any agreement between the two actually be between Novell and Tarantella (old SCO). AFAIK Tarantella still owns SCO's patents.

Ahh, I would just love to get hold of one and paint it black and green.
Then I could say, "Use M$, and you will end up in that tiny cube! You will be assimulated!"
Uhh, I can give you a 56k line.... :) Thats overly superior to your 28k line!
My SIS 650-based laptop (specifically a Acer TravelMate 270) struggles to even play Quake II at a decent fps.
Probably because it is missing stuff like GL_SGIS_MULTITEXTURE.

(I think ATI's RenderMonkey is vapourwear)

Much to the delight of any possible Xbox2 Linux porting effort... Such a porting effort would love OSS drivers.
I personally disagree.

We are the borg. We will assimulate your little probe. Negotiation is irrelivant, your probe will be assimulated.
If BSD is dying, it's because of it's devel model.

If you want to hack BSD, prove yourself first
If you want to hack Linux, just install gcc
OpenAP - http://opensource.instant802.com/ is another Open Source Access Point project

Also, Intersil Prism2 PCI (not PCMCIA) cards allow the host to act as an access point.

And all this from a company which used to produce decent form autocompletion software?
How sad. DotCOM goes bust -> companies collapse -> remaining resort to bad measures.
