[...] it's funny to me that anyone would call their technology "Good Day" (litteral translation of Bonjour) (or "Meeting" for that matter) and expect to have a strong mark.
In french we say "c'est simple comme bonjour!", which means everyone can do it, understand it. Have a look to the Apple page in french (http://www.apple.com/fr/macosx/features/bonjour/) : "le réseau, simple comme Bonjour".
I don't know if Drupal is the best Open Source CMS, but at least it is by far the most well designed PHP application I've ever seen. The hook mecanism uses the PHP language symbol table to provide very good extensibility. It doesn't use PHP classes in its structure, but it is a strong point as this article shows: Drupal Programming from an Object-Oriented Perspective.
I hope many open source PHP applications will reuse the Drupal architecture principles.
As in Paris (as well as in many European major cities), we have two FREE (as in beer) PAPER newspapers, I would say it is The START of The Free Newspaper.
So what criteria must be satisfied to create a new version of a distribution?
Time. Every six months for Mandrake. And they are right because that is the only way to do it: all free software projects are independents and have different schedules (when they have one).
Why can't the distribution just provide the updated files through means like urpmi and you upgrade the packages that need to be upgraded?
Money. Distribution makers need cash at a constant (or increasing) rate. Free updates does not gives money. Microsoft has the same problem: they need that customers upgrades to their latest OS.
Why the need to download ISOs, burn to CDs, reboot the box and perform the installation/upgrade?
You don't have too. You can find with Google how to upgrade your system without reinstalling with CD images mounted without burning them. But if they told you clearly how to do it, you would not buy new CDs. Also, it is easier for everybody (you and them) to support a system installed from scratch, than a system upgraded every six months for 5 years.
In Paris, we have photos of builings on Pages Jaunes (the french yellow pages) for many years. I remember that I was already using this feature in 1998.
One particular feature of the game rules is that time is measured by counting executed bytecodes. So we can expect that contestants will aim to produce very efficient code.
Do you know any Java compiler benchmark that compares generated bytecode?
Are there any major websites that actually use ActiveX? I have yet to come across any.
Flash ads are displayed by Slashdot. So, as the Flash movies are displayed in Internet Explorer using an ActiveX control, we can say that "./ use ActiveX" when browsed with IE.

This is about the Wikimedia Foundation , not Wikipedia Foundation which doesn't exist. /. post are wrong.
Both the article and the
Harald Welte did a very interesting presentation about GPL Enforcement in Germany at FOSDEM two weeks ago.
He is one of the few, with Theo de Raadt, who really fight against proprietary software. See this Kerneltrap.org feature about OpenBSD fight against closed source drivers for wireless.
PS: they exist for about three years.

Guillermito has not been condamned for publishing a security vulnerability.
He has been condamned for reversing a program for which he didn't have a licence, and for publishing code on which he didn't have rights.
Maybe now is the time to drop the leading "2." in the kernel release number, as Sun did with Solaris after 2.6...
If you are in western Europe, you probably have at your local newspaper shop Linux magazines that bundle free Knoppix CD.
I'm looking for a linux distribution which shows the technical boot process [...]
Just press escape during the boot.
"Social Insecurity Number", that's how it should be called.
At least in France we don't have such a universal identifier. Our "social security number" is used only for administrative purpose related to health.
Public Treasure, other administrations, banks and private companies have each their own numbers.
Pi would contain on one bit if expressed in base Pi.
But the data of this CD could not contain on a floppy because it NOT exactly pi but only the first 1.7 billion of digits.

There seems to be a similar obsession with finding a pattern in Pi as some have with finding messages from God in the Bible.
Hidding your own data in Pi digits with steganography may be a good trick. Who will bother a CD labeled "1.7 billion of Pi digits"?
In fact, who will recompute Pi to check that this CD really contains bare Pi digits ?
The data is everything after the '3.'
So you are wasting one character.
In France, Free.fr gives up to 20 Mbit/s (down) / 1 Mbit/s (up) + TV + free phone for 29.99 /month.
This ISP is particular because they designed their own modem/router. They are the ones that innovates and push the market in France.
You have no excuse: I wrote it on /. 6 days ago.
The problem with channel A is not related to the Doppler problem but due to a human error as reported in the article.

Where's the "Stuff that matters"?
As I said before, I'm asking the same question.
