One things is for sure - they all rely on proprietary Microsoft produts (.Net, sharepoint, SQL server, etc) to run. They're not particularly useful to the Open Source community, just the Microsoft community. (In Debian, they would sit in the non-free repositorty).
Nitpick: the non-free repository is for things that do not have a Free licence *themselves*. The Windows Free stuff would in fact sit in the contrib repository (DFSG-compatible software with Non-Free Dependencies).
Actually 3 offer X-series for £5, which comes with a gig of data *AND* a network supported Skype client with 6000 mins a month. Neatest thing is that calls arrive and go as normal mobile calls to their server so latency etc is far less of an issue. Skype out is not supported but *looks around* I run truphone's 3.0 client for that. So that's £20 a month for 500 all network mins, 1 GB of data that can be used for email, Truphone and general netting, and 6000 skype-skype mins. Did I mention that I'm a happy customer?
And no, no other connection to the company (although given that nobody here seems to know this, I dearly wish I had an affilate link).
Not only, no. There's also heat sources such as cooking, heating of houses, and in modern times industrial activity and transport. All this CO2 producing stuff I heard about somewhere.;) WRT the snow, the effect is bigger then you'd think. The air being hotter due to this tends to lead to snow often turning to rain or sleet while in the air. Again using the example of London, bets on a white Christmas are traditionally dealt with by the presence or otherwise of snow on the Met Office roof. The fact that this is in London creates very unhappy punters as they wake up to see snow and yet receive no money.
Normally, yes. However, the presence of so many heat sources in one area that is created by high density cities means that the local microclimate changes fundamentally and so pre and post-civilised weather (not climate, note) records are essentally useless to compare. Note London's frequent 5 degree increase on the temp of the surrounding countryside, for instance. Hence me pointing out that local weather records would only really be useful as far back as the city goes. Note he did say city, not area. But yes, the land was there for longer (allowing for continental drift). It's just irrelevant to the question.
If you check the O'Reilly Fox News Channel poll on the question of the Marine, you will find that out of 111,116 viewers that voted (certainly not a majority Marine audience), 98% support the Marine.
You should counterbalance this by noting that the poll is however from an extremely pro-Republican channel and program, with far higher rates then the national average that believe in a link between 9/11 and Saddam and that WMDs were found in Iraq. O'Reilly himself accused the son of a 9/11 victim of being a traitor for disagreeing with military action, and is openly anti "the liberal media" amongst other things. I may or may not agree with these editorial stances, but they naturally lead to a self-selected group that will tend to more right wing views. In addition, those who respond to the poll have been watching a program that has itself been heavily anti-punishment.
Of course, the fact that it's not your life would mean that you should frankly STFU and stop attempting to impose your own morality through bad law. That's the essence of a theocracy, you know...
No, they will just open source the simple bits that Mono already has mostly sorted out, leaving a fairly small but extremely critical patent-encumbered bit (video codec, maybe) that prevents anyone else making a useful implementation.
The PR people will then jump around saying Microsoft==open!!!eleven!. Do you see?
Under EU law you *can* sue for damages. This seems to open the gates to mass suings. Unfortunately for our local copyright MAFFIA types, damages are generally limited to the retail value of the product.
Good luck turning a profit on court fees there. In addition, if the defendant offers some settlement (even £1 will do) then they are generally not liable for the legal fees the prosecution run up. So you can sucessfully come out with £1000 for a hard disk of music (let's base this on 1200 tracks or so). Of course, this would require you to prove each infringement. One film==1 DVD price.
It's conincidental that the EU does not have mass suings like the US does, I'm sure.

Actually, the DRM system on Vista means that hardware mixing of sound is verboden. Google "vista x-fi".

It's coming.
I got a free copy for reporting a bug in beta. I agree with the GP. Also funnily enough, the copy runs in VMWare on occasion for web testing.

Well. I'd think that Quebec city wasn't entirely constructed back then what with humans not existing yet and all...

Basically, selection bias much.
Easy win for Nvidia: Linux drivers not apparently programmed by the outsourcing company's tea boy.

Nah, if I have everything I need to play I want something that's online play only. Preferably with Teamspeak. *grins*
In fact I just started a blog about the legal side. I've never heard about a DMCA takedown based purely on a domain name before...

Neither do I. Good post there Ray.
Actual pictures are quite difficult to find, but... here you are.
I could see it selling to the furry market...
We've been looking for something like that at work. What's the device you use? Would you reccomend it?

Just like the US, eh? *cough* *cough* Vietnam *cough* *cough* Soon Iraq too! *cough* Hey look! It's catching!
Do you have no sympathy for the workload of the monkey at all?
Noooo...just install restricted-drivers! (see above for more info)
Your sig needs a credit to Tom Lehrer.
If the attacker advertises absolutely massive values (and hey, it's only a string) they can time out all of the packets and DoS the network too.
This actually makes me wonder if there is a military/intel datacentre that does this already.
