If you are using kazaa, and probably any of the other fastrack clients, the filename doesn't have to be the same to get a match. Someone familiar with the network, someone familiar with gift, even, could tell us exactly what's going on, but my guess is that a checksum is actually used to find duplicate files.
I'm quite late to post, but I have to. I'm afraid you are mixing the GPL and the GNU Project. The former is a legal document, using copyright law to protect the freedom of software. The GNU Project is a collection of software using the GPL to protect itself. You can write a software, protect its freedom with the GPL, yet it won't automatically become part of the GNU Project collection.
So you see, the GPL doesn't provide any credit. That's not the function it plays, nor was it ever implied this way by RMS or anyone else I would take seriously. If you believe that, then I see why this matter might be confusing to you.
While I haven't read the article (what do you mean, read the article?), I have a personal rule that goes a little like this:
"In any prediction valid in the next 10 years, you can replace 10 by anything. It's that easy."
Suffice it to say, I don't believe such predictions.
While I don't want to burst your bubble, what Bruce was saying was regarding linking, that's only how the BSD License and LGPL are similar. Bruce words: "The LGPL's effect is essentially the same as the BSD license. You can link any proprietary code to it."
Actually, the problem is more severe because right now, there is no integer-only ogg decoder available for free. Lots of mp3 players don't have a floating point unit, and there's the rub.
What is very needed at this time is complete/frozen specifications that anyone can use to write a free decoder using only integer instructions.
For some reason, the original isn't accessible anymore... perhaps it has something to do with the content. If anyone knows people at google, maybe now would be a good time to change jobs - who knows whom does lunatic murderers will go after now! dead scientists

If you can't find a decent flash editor but you find one for svg, then you can probably get away with this converter and end up with flash anyway: http://www.eskimo.com/~robla/svg2swf/
MS was originally going to upgrade DOS to be Unix like - multithreads, a decent programming model, better support for hardware, extensions for newer processors
Well, Digital Research did just this with their version of DOS, DR-DOS. It was later aquired by wordperfect or novell, how added a nice network layer, and finally it was sold to caldera/lineo.
If memory servers me well, version 7.03 is still available for download...
From the original post:
"Everyone is in one big room (for better communication between employees, that's what we're told), so no sound insulation".
So wouldn't that mean headphones are also a no-no? Programmers communicating? who would have thought?

Same here, using opera 5.12 on my old p90 running w95. v6 and above take care of skinning, which seems to bring opera to its knees far more quickly.
I'm gonna give 6.02 a try, but I don't believe it's gonna be any help. Well, I'm sticking to moz. on my new machine, it can afford it :)

Funny you should mention this. Did you know you can get an approximate figure of the speed of light using only a common microwave oven, marshmallows and a ruler? Try this experiment:n 34/marshmal.htm

You mean it's just like Microsoft's CLR? Why did Turing copy Microsoft if Microsoft is so crappy?
