Something I would like to see is if I go to news.google.com and I start reading about the current election. I would be able to to have a side bar with a list of top revelent web site associated with keywords in the article, or in meta tags. When I click on links, it compares the keywords with the original article and searches again. There should be a way to rate the website for what you feel the relevance is, allowing it to create a better search. Eventually, I should have a list of websites that are very very relevant to my subject.
This feature could use google or some other searching process, but I think it would be very useful for people who waste most of their time googling for information and trying to figure out the best keywords for a subject. These relevant searches would also be nice to save as a search bookmark.
Or better yet, screw the default and install what -you- want.
That's fine. The whole point of free software is the freedom to do what you want. Make sure you know what you are doing though and don't expect help if you are on the mailing list saying:
"I compiled gcc 3.2 and apache 2.0..."
The reason I like bsd and why I feel it is so stable. It is the fact that the 'default' base system contains a group of tightly knit programs that have been proven to be secure and stable. Once you start adding programs that aren't default, (i feel) you lower some stability and some security.
There has been a lot of babbling on the mailing list. Everyone is against it. They are sticking with 1.3.39 (i think) with all of their security fixes. There will only be updates for security reasons. To quote the general thoughts of the developers: "If you don't like it, don't bitch at us; Bitch at Apache"
Anyway, nothing is stopping you from running 2.x or any other apache. It just won't be supported.
I think that Carp/pfsync is more important than apache. Plus now there is some SMP to work with.
How bout the RIAA add downloading tax to my cable, say $0.50 a month. Then just leave me alone. I buy CD's when the artist has more than 1 song that I like or if its a band I like. And even then I've already downloaded the CD to make sure they have more than one song I like.
The old days of, 'A new band that sounds like ___ so their sales should be like ____' doesn't work anymore.
To me, it seems to me that RedHat would be the kind of company that would lower prices and haggle with you just to get your buisness. A lot of people just look at the price and think it is too expensive. I bet if you got a sales rep on the phone you could make deals.
I thought tha people didn't like when a browser became the desktop environment.
I think there is a slight difference. With MS, the desktop became the browser. Which allowed many bugs into the system. The reason is probably the origional desktop was never ment to be seen on an open network.
With Mozilla, the gecko engine and XUL and such is a sturdy platform (same as gtk or qt). So adding a module that creates a start button that runs 'xterm -e mozilla-firefox' when you click on it, doesn't seem the same as MS's integrated gui.
Yeah I watched a doc one day on that. I guess ancient texted talked about an island in the middle of the world. And that link talks about all of the maps showing the glaciers forming over a period of 100 years.
I was just thinking, I wonder if all this global warming mumbo jumbo could be earths cycle to bring the glaciers back down.

Just my 2 cents.
I don't use windows because pirating is illegal.
TI's wouldn't exist if the demand on HP's calculators weren't so high and they had to let TI make some of their chips back in the day.

Why can't companies be origional in Icon design? It's like they are asking for MSFT to sue them for some infringement.

How many lesbians with quadriplegia do you know?
most likely worded wrongly. I didn't know patenting breaks the GPL.
I didn't think about prior art.
Wasn't their a 'holder company' that you can file a patent for an OSS project and they would look out for your best interests?
link anyone?
Yeah but it could force OSS underground.
Saving IP is one thing, but to limit someone to do the same thing with totally different code is another.
