Wasn't this how gcc aquired its initial objective-c and c++ front-ents?: Companies taking the code, modifying it, and releasing it in binary-only form.

something which does the same thing, and you are free from copyright infringement. Duration: Until
Congress decides to stop extending copyrights, plus a few years.
If it created a seperate copy, one of the primary purposes of shared libraries, having the library in memory only *once* instead of once for each program, would be defeated.
Many people are familiar with the old DOS help facility and Windows' help for almost anything. Under Unix, man and info serve the same purposes. Once told that 'man' gives help, manual pages should contain enough information to get them started. There are good X-based manpage viewers as well, and most comands are already documented in their manual pages. Some overview manpages would help, though, e.g., man sysinit for information on how the system boots and what the startup scripts do.

It's *not* EEPROM that was written to --- it was PROM. You can't rewrite PROM.
Is it technically possible to build an FM crystal radio?
*allowing*?
What authority do they have to either allow or disallow it?
So an extremely simple transistor radio would be acceptable?
Remember what happens to users who call the BOFH?
Doesn't a 23" monitor could as a mid-sized television? A fair number of people have them, or 21"ers.
Virtually all space flights. What do you want this thing to do, shoot down the next rocket to launch?
Tulip and eepro100 do as well.
Ok. Both a business executive and a drug lord are sucessful --- they have huge amounts of money, make deals, etc. etc.
Is punishing the drug lord punishing him because he is successful?
With this, wouldn't it be possible, in theory, to take a train from New York to London?

By that reasoning, why live at all? We must protect the precious environment! Our bodies produce heat and consume materials.
Face it, we should keep the system in working order, but by no means should the environment take precedence over human needs.

Do you have documentation?
Linux 2.4.0 is *publically* available. There is a difference.
Perhaps, but what goes on in American public schools is less education than it is indoctrination and day-care.

That's true, but how often do people use these things?
Reliable reverse-engineering of the doc format *has* been performed. Both Staroffice and Abiword can work with doc files just fine.
Staroffice has all the features you describe, and is portable.
The enemy of my enemy...
It'll be fun to watch this corporate cockfight.
Yes, it was, which is why it and time warner merged/are merging.
The price of freedom is eternal vigalence, and people these days have remarkably short attention spans.
