Why do I get the feeling that Linux users enjoy installing their OS so much? If you like to do it that much, just grab a copy of Win98 and reinstall to your heart's content.
If a module is "based upon" GPL code, then it must be released under the GPL as well.
If a module is not "based upon" the GPL code, then no such restriction exists in regards to its licensing.
In fact, you could say that the Linux kernel in a particular system was "based upon" these closed modules, but it is difficult to argue in the other direction.
The big thing to remember here about these guys is that they are only prototypes and I'd assume they have quite a bit more engineering that needs to go into them. One of those design needs is how to fit an average-sized person into the driver's seat.
The front of the XBox is vaned, much like a heat sink, so the bars of the grill on the front may have been just lucky enough to deflect the direct impact of the force in different directions, causing the force of the bullet to be dissipated over a larger area.
It occurs to me that one big problem with American workers, proprietary software, and music CDs is that they are all priced far above their actual values.
In the case of of proprietary software, the product is usually no better than the free version offered by the Open Source community. Linux vs. Windows, Gimp vs. Photoshop, and so on and so on. It makes sense that the world would gravitate towards the cheaper, equivalent option.
Likewise, the same thing is happening with CD music. CDs are far too highly priced for their limited utility. The old lament goes, "We would buy the CDs instead of download them if only they were cheaper!" I believe this to be the case, in fact. There are certain advantages that would make buying an actual CD worthwhile. Glossy covers, liner notes, additional artwork, free gifts, etc. However, the cost of adding those freebies to the CD automatically puts the CD shelf price far above the conceived value (which is little more than zero dollars).
That's not it. It's already set to English U.S. as the primary language. It is detecting something else. And, as I mentioned before, GNU's website does it too.
I just finished reading Slaughterhouse Five today on the train. Vonnegut was a genius in his ability to weave together Billy's madness with reality and not reveal that madness until the very end.
The anti-war message wasn't as strong as I thought it would be. From the cold view of time as a static constant that Billy is revealed by the Tralfamadorians the author seems to be saying that the belief in the inability to change the future is a type of madness. However, I didn't get the sense that the author thought war a horrendously terrible thing that ought to be avoided at all cost.
What got me to look into this book was actually a scene in Footloose where the Bible-thumpers of the town are looking to clean up the library of 'filthy' books. The leader turns to Kevin Bacon and asks him what he's reading and Bacon's response is Slaughterhouse Five. The leader gives him a glare but it's clear that he's never even heard of the book, much less any book with such a terribly un-Christian name.
I tried to like it, but just couldn't get into it.
And it's not just the long-windedness of the style. It's the condescending, faux high-class British airs that come through the writing.
I don't mind long-windedness as such. Another author who I found interesting but is incredibly long-winded is Earl Penn Warren. His book, All The King's Men, is as wordy as they come, but there isn't a dull moment. FOTR felt like dull moment after dull moment from the outset.
The movies were okay, the CG was awesome, but I just can't see what the thrill is. My loss, I suppose.
But I look forward to finally having a movie made about it. If for no other reason than to turn Tolkein's long-winded (and frankly annoying) prose into a 2 hour digestible chunk.

You're pissing in the wind here. As was already said, the TI calculators out now are pretty powerful and can do just about anything you'd want to do in a small package.
If you really want a port of Mathematica to a Pocket PC, then you're going to have to pony up the costs to Wolfram. They aren't going to do it when there isn't any market for it.

Books are so linear. Games like this allow you to experience alternate endings better than Choose Your Own Adventure ever could.
What happens to the doctors who want to keep using Windows?
Baby I got the Trojans
And baby I got the disease
You've got me wide open, baby
You're bringin' me to my knees.
You've found my weak spot, child
I'm running the love facility
You've wormed your way into my heart baby
You've found my vulnerability
whoa oh ohhh baby baby
I was thinking plastic recyclables.
Recycled bottled water.
No waste at all. Save the environment while quenching your thirst.
There are some links at the bottom of the page.

That's who makes just about anything embedded-Linux based.

I make no claim to be fluent in Japanese.
The Hallucigenia 01 shown on the pcwatch page is a 1/5 model and is not necessarily made of the same material a full-size version would be.
The Toyota PM which I have seen first hand seems to be made a fiberglass polymer around an aluminum frame. The canopy is made of hard plastic.
None of that information is on the site linked to in the story, though.
Trippy
Then you can use it as your casket after you smear your brains all over the windshield during a crash.
That's not it. It's already set to English U.S. as the primary language. It is detecting something else. And, as I mentioned before, GNU's website does it too.
The website detected that I'm in Japan and directed me to their Japanese website.
If I wanted to go to their Japanese website, I'd have typed in www.huminity.co.jp.
They don't even have Internet access in North Korea, much less email as we know it.
There's a big picture of boobies on the last page.
No, seriously.

The Hobbit story happens before the Rings story, so maybe they could get Ewan McGregor to play Obi-wan.
