His point was that it's only a double standard if the SAME person claims that downloading Windows isn't a crime, and then turns around to claim that infringing on GPL-licensed software is.
Why should this be done at the layer of the browser? Get a real OS with a security model based on the idea of Mandatory Access Control and you get this with every application.
I'm pretty sure that >99% of software developers, or anyone who sits down at a desktop PC, are using zlib and libpng. I'm sure there are other libraries that are just as widely used accross Windows and Mac OS X.
Not quite. There are actually two clipboards (I think "selections" is the correct term). The one accessed by selecting an object (the "primary selection") is independent of the one that is accessed by choosing Cut/Copy from a menu (the "clipboard selection").
Once one internalises this information, it becomes clear that many clipboard related problems that people have with X11 are caused by poorly written apps that fail to follow the conventions on the use of the Primary and Clipboard selections.
Your own quotation can only be attributed to "one of the Islamic fanatics who inspired al-Qa'eda". This is hardly a concrete enough source to justify your racist statements.
It's hard to find any vaguely unbiased sources when talking about this kind of stuff, but it always seemed to me that Osama & co want America and its allies to stop interfering in the affairs of their nations. They don't give a shit whether we go to hell after we die because be don't believe in the almighty prophet, or whatever.
"The events that affected my soul in a direct way started in 1982 when America permitted the Israelis to invade Lebanon and the American Sixth Fleet helped them in that. This bombardment began and many were killed and injured and others were terrorised and displaced."
The Digital Imprimatur is a must-read for anyone whose eyebrows were raised at the parent's statement.
Remember that often, the company that produces movies/tv content, is the same company that delivers it to your home via cable tv/interet. This company has no interest in allowing you to compete with them in the content production business.
"It is in the interest of broadband providers to prevent home users from setting up servers which might consume substantial upstream bandwidth. By enforcing an 'outbound only' restriction on home users, they are blocked from setting up servers, and must use hosting services if, for example, they wish to create a personal home page. (With consolidation among Internet companies, the access supplier may also own a hosting service, creating a direct economic incentive to encourage customers to use it.)"
"In addition, it is probable that basic broadband service will be restricted to the set of Internet services used by consumers: Web, FTP, E-mail, instant messages, streaming video, etc., just as firewalls are configured today to limit access to a list of explicitly permitted services. Users will, certainly, be able to obtain "premium" service at additional cost which will eliminate these restrictions... but the Internet access market has historically been strongly price sensitive, so it is reasonable to expect that over the next few years the majority of users connected to the Internet will have consumer-grade access, which will limit their use to those services deemed appropriate for their market segment."

Thanks, I know this. But the zoneinfo files aren't going to magically change themselves, are they? ;)
I wonder how this works on Windows...
(Adjust for CST, PST, whatever). Next, please!
What's the difference? :)

If your attention span permits, I suggest you scroll to the bottom and observe the date that menu was first uploaded to Debian.

The drinking bird broke last week. The system has been modernised by switching to using yes(1).
Nah, the reason Flash is soooo annoying is because its sound output is bollocks.
On my system it defaults to usind Esound, which means that the sound gets out of sync with the video. It's very noticeable after 20 seconds or so.
Anyone know how to force it to commune directly with ALSA/OSS?
It fails the three-clicks rule. ;)
If you really cared about those files then you'd upgrade to an operating system that can do Mandatory Access Control. ;)

It *would* be much better if there was an NNTP interface to reading Slashdot stories and comments.
Or just possibly, you have an imperfect understanding of how the various threading implementations fit together.
