You violated my rights, you lose all rights to use my works. That seems simple to me.
Please note that the gpl states that the rights to use are outside of its scope because they are already covered by standard law. You (hypothetic, of course) violated that law.
In terms of its material properties we can do little better. There is no clear definition of the distinction between solids and highly viscous liquids. All such phases or states of matter are idealisations of real material properties. Nevertheless, from a more common sense point of view, glass should be considered a solid since it is rigid according to every day experience. The use of the term "supercooled liquid" to describe glass still persists, but is considered by many to be an unfortunate misnomer which should be avoided. In any case, claims that glass panes in old windows have deformed due to glass flow have never been substantiated. Examples of Roman glassware and calculations based on measurements of glass visco-properties indicate that these claims cannot be true. The observed features are more easily explained as a result of the imperfect methods used to make glass window panes before the float glass process was invented.
Besides, they're breaking microsoft's security system. Err... one that gives more trouble than usual.
Some will say "beowulf cluster", stack of xbox, xbox in the office, etc., but those forget that there are cheaper, faster, and better supported standard pcs around...
As you can see by the frame rate of tux racer, no accelerated driver exists for Linux, and it probably wont ever, for no specs exist, no open source driver exists with 3d acceleration, and I really doubt NVidia will have one available for that card. (Until someone hacks the driver?)
I'm quite happy with my Siemens S35. Callendar w/ appointments, alarms, etc.; nice T9 even in Portuguese; good standby, but I don't use it much so I can't say wether it's good or not; amber backlight; notepad; voicerecording; 348 Kb for data, sms, numbers, voice, images, animations, ring tones, and you can put there any type of file; GPRS and HSCSD (not sure about HSCDS).
No Bluetooth, flip-out microphone, radio, mp3/ogg player, though... But check a new model (S45i) that must have arried or will soon.
What make me think, personally, that Passport's passwords are stored clear-text is that the login to MSN Messenger is: the server sends a challenge (the current time...) and the client appends the password to the challenge, calculates the MD5 and sends it. I can't think of any way to validate the MD5 without doing the same thing on the server side.
BTW, I just tried and the password was case-sensitive.
True for the more common UHCI (Universal Host Controler Interface), used by VIA and Intel, but the O(pen)HCI (SiS & others) uses MMIO, as does the E(nhanced)HCI from USB 2.0.
"what digital format will still be readable in 25 years?"
Open formats will. Here's an idea: save your pictures in an open format and along with them the description of the format and some libraries that implement reading it.
Then, when formats change too much and you have trouble using your old pictures with moderm software, implement a tiny program that converts from the old format to a new, supported, open format.
Of course, if by then open formats will be illegal, you'll still be able to convert the old format to a raw one, and hope to find an application that supports raw pictures...
So does my notebook's, and the darn thing doesn't even have a decent 3d support!
Oh, but it just happens for a short period of time after my notebook is carried along. I guess it must be some sort of security thingy (i moved! i moved!)....
I think the same way. And I was actually expecting something better of matrix
Re:Where do they recommend to use 2.0 over 1.3.24?

Apache 2.0 Goes Gold!

· Score: 1
To: announce@apache.org
Subject: Official Release: Apache 2.0.35 is now GA
...
The HTTPD Project signed off today on the 2.0.35 release, and recommends it
for use on production websites. 2.0.35 is now considered our best release
and should be used in preference to all older versions (including the 1.3
series).
"They have the same problem if they try to restrict the CD's"
Not at all, in that case the only problem reading the cds are in the players that allow the user to do a few other things that angers the RIAA Lords.
This way, consumers of normal stereo/quadrophonic/etc, home, car and portable systems won't have to buy another expensive device.
"The music industry has changed media a few times now. Records... 8-track... cassettes... CD... They could do it again."
Sure, and if it decides do create a new, high-fidelity (well, higher than the high-fidelity systems that it obsoletes), people will probably change to that one.
BUT only with time. And as of today peaple can still buy k7, so we can only assume that the music industry will still provide cds for a long time.
And as long as there are cds, there is a way to easily create a digital copy in a easily distributed format (ogg, mp3, wav, etc.), so defeating the purpose of a new, uncopiable, format.

This is the same case as the MySQL vs Nusphere that ended up being solved without the GPL.
Haven't tried it myself, though.
"Microsoft Product Support Services (PSS) Security Team"
Different that other security measures, this one is intended on stopping the user, owner of the machine, to do with it as it pleases him.
Anyway, google, and the paper.
is there any point to this
Yes, "it's a fun hack" :)

Vim too. set lbr, although I personally prefer hard breaks (2 lines for a paragraph, etc.).
There is a CDE that may have caused some confusion.

It's called checkinstall and is available here
(taken from Linux's Documentation)
And I said to include the description of the format, so that it can be implemented in any new language if needed.
But you can't un-licence. People that already have it under the GPL can still use it and distribute it.

I disagree. They tried to bring christianity back to its earlier ages, before it got mingled with the romans' church.
Anyone who associates catholicism to christianity knows not the history of catholicism nor what being a christian is about.
Mind you, too many reformers have failed to know Christ, as well..
I picture my aunt calling me and asking me how to fix something on her computer, and I'd have no idea how to because Windows is different.
As usual: format & reinstall.
