Yes, that's when orthodoxy sets in. As long as people think they need to discover more in order to better understnd religion things go ahead. Liberal theology in Christianity put forward science in the Western World. Even if I don't think everything is for the better (since I'm not exactly liberal in my christian views), it helps the sciences in general.
As long as people have a choice, there's enough freedom to conduct good science. This is aain where SIL comes in. They offer a choice to go with Christianity (again, I have not much an idea what exactly they do). It's the humanist approach. Give people choices and let them decide.
Tell me about scientists without an agenda of their own. Religion was and is always used as a means of improving things. Why do you think people know how to read and write? It's only because someone thought it helpful to write down religious scriptures. There's no chance of dividing religion from science. Whatever SIL does, they certainly improved linguistics as well (even if I only happen to use their superior Gentium fonts-which happen to be more suitable for linguistics than Stix).
Speaking of linguisics and religion, tell me what Arabic would be w/o religion. Islam created Arabic (at least as we know it). The language people think to speak (colloquial Arabic often called) has not much in common with what Arabic is considered by the Arabs themselves. Highly interesting, religion and language.
Sorry for not being precise. I actualy meant th GPL, not the project itself. If you have a problem with V3 why not fork it into a different but similar license that only includes your favourite ideas.
As for myself it's not my homework it's my hobby and I care to read about why people think one is better than the other or what else could be thrown into the game. I think about learning Rails and Ruby so I found it quite interesting to be recommended Python and Django as well. So shut up and let people post here. The intention of Ask Slashdot is obviously not only to answer some persons question but to post a question that might be relevant to many.
The thing i snobody wants to pay for it. Compare this to the AOL and CompuServe networks that were available for a long time. Competing with the free internet. They don't exist anymore. Just because anybody who owns it can put restrictions on you.
It's not gonna work.
As long as there is no drive of either make in a Mac preinstalled there is no real market for it. Apple is fo me an indicator of new techs going live. Most of the time this worked, maybe not with Firewire but at least with the SuperDrive.
Never trust anybody to meet your own morality standards. When you ship the internet to the third world, make sure they only see what _you_ want them to see.
Whoever commits to OS projects is likely more involved in the whole process than an outsider who simply tries to skim off some of the profit. As a customer I'd rather spend my money on a company that is involved in committing to what I pay for. After all developers tend to know best what they have done so far.
IE users don't go for Alpha Software, do they? When you use MS Windows you expect fully functional software that always works as expected. I'll recommend to wait for Firefox 3 Final.
And Apple is not doing a Video iPod. Companies have always been stating that they're not doing something which never really sopped them from doing what they want. So who cares? If they do a phone let them do it and if not why bother?
Well, Java is terribly slow on my old iBok 500 and I'm glad it is not the first choice of web programmers. To be honest, Flash and JavaScript aren't any better either. At least I find it possible to run JS and Flash apps in comparison to slow loading and unresponsive Java apps.
After reading many of the comments now my 50ct. I use all metrics (I'm in Germany). In some cases I prefer the Imperial System, displays for example. I'd always prefer a 24" screen over anything sold in centimeters. And I couldn't possibly tell how large a 24" screen is in cms. I have a fairly good idea how much 24" for a screen are though. So I guess it's always dependent on what you're used to. And don't tell me the Celsius thing is not useful. It's fairly convenient when telling how cold it is outside. You'd be warned if it is under 0 degrees, it's freezing. Otherwise I really don't care what you Americans are using. Blow up your rockets and whatever else as long as you don't hit me.
I knew this from Camino and find it one of the best new features. I usually want to get rid of some tabs once I'm done with a, say Research, and want to close the all. I can now do that without the hassle to first open them and then close them again. This really improves speed on my slow G3 because the tabs dont have to be loaded.
Ever tried a Podcast on a bus? In Germany all major broadcasting stations offer a vast amount of podcasts, not to forget our chancellor herself offering a podcast on politics.
The thing is, compared to blogs, there isn't enough bandwidth for everyone _and_ imagine all that crap broadcasted. Ther commercial/noncommercial stations around are bad enough, why bother with even more stations? Those free stations all have their agenda what they want you to hear, I'm not sure this is what I want. So shut them down. Whoever wants to listen to them, use Internet streams, these are just fine.
In Germany the Fritz!Box by AVM is quite popular. The regular firmware doesn't provide BT but once you install a fine mod it works pretty well in connection with its USB port. See a thread here: http://www.ip-phone-forum.de/showthread.php?t=9381 1 The cool thing about the Fritz!Box is it has a built in DSL-modem, wireless router and VOIP connector (S0 and analog). With the mod you can add pretty much anything to your Box (SSH, OpenVPN etc)
The poor widow who didn't have anything but the mite is the one who deserves the praise. That's it. You hit the point. I don't think it makes any real sense to compare Gates and Jobs. As soon as it enters the public how much they're giving, they missed the point of "just" doing something good. They get the credit and gain respect in return. That's not what charity is supposed to be. Even if they spend millions on "charity" they still have tons of money. If they gave up everything and gave it away, that would make it a whole lot different.
Hey,
what has secularism to do with what people believe? I am a secularist and a christian. so what? Can't that be? There is nothing wrong with running a state in a secular manner but believing in God on a personal basis. As long as evolution is taught as part of proper education, I don't have aproblem with that. I do have a problem with people telling me there is nothing else possible. That is indoctrination in a atheistic manner and has nothing to do with secularism. A secular society should not only be open to atheistic views of the world but also to theistic ones.
Guy,/. is really biased on this topic.
I played around with the sections but I can't figure our in which section this slashdot related story is. The only section that should appear "small" is the review section but this story appears small, too. How's that?
I always wonder whether it's smarter to turn my iMac(last PPC with 2GHz) rather completely off over night (~10 hours) or leave it in sleep mode. Considering the start up time and starting all the usual apps plus loading the documents I've been using the day before. I tend to think this is a waste of time and probably consumes as much energy as leaving it on sleep mode. Any suggestions on whether I'm right or wrong?

Thanks for sharing. This was really good. This reminds me of the guy who runs tired.com. He once published some mails he got.

A very good reason not to put this kind of "optional" in your license again (whatever you think of v3).
Really? What about student projects? They do studies all the time and they even have to pay for it (so they get some feedback).
To quote an earlier article: "If you don't like it fork it."

ignoring? This is what I was saying by writing "restrictions" (the "R" in DRM).
