This could easily turn into a self fullfilling prophecy. The more the meme is repeated now, two years before Vista launch, the more it will grow in peoples minds. The more it grows there, the more thinking and the more planning.

When will programmers learn that there is NO good reason to keep passwords in plain text?
In my 20+ years programming experience, I've never seen a programmer that wanted to store a plain-text password. Rather, each time I've seen it done, it was a business-type making it a requirement.
I can see you've never run a full J2EE platform on a laptop and got it to do some serious work.
And I can see you have zero concept of how a computer works. Load is load, if it's running your fancy J2EEeeeek or if it's running a million instances of Tux Racer. Both consume the available resources (one for work, the other to meet Suns Marketing Department requirements).
but is ANY child of that age ready for something like that?
I have a four year old boy, and I would say that he's ready to watch something like that.
You see, ever since watching his first television and movie shows, we've been explaining how things on TV are not real. We make careful distinction in our speech between actors and the characters they play. For instance, he knows that there is a boy named Toby that plays Peter Parker in the Spider-Man movies. I can't be 100% certain, but I think he's come to understand that he's not seeing reality in a movie.
We've also taught him about death ("Kill those mosquitoes, boy!") and we've taught him to ask questions. All in all, I'd say my boy's ready.
But will he see RotS? Not a chance, at least not this year while it's in theaters. I'm keeping it from him primarily because we don't watch a lot of TV (boob-tube in our house) or movies. Instead we emphasize books and outdoor activities. Also, I'd rather he have a chance to appreciate the series in order... I don't know if that means 4-5-6-1-2-3 or 1-2-3-4-5-6... haven't decided.

Since the GPL doesnt allow for distribution of code under any other license
Don't you mean re-distribution?
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that the GPL only covered re-distribution, and also could not prohibit authors from distributing under multiple licenses. Put simply, as the author of software, I choose the number and type of each license for every release of code.
1. locate a bowl suitable for catching popcorn popped by an air popper *and* a microwaveable cover for it. i'm lucky enough to have a glass pie plate fit my favorite popcorn bowl, but a dinner plate that fits may work in a pinch.
2. pop the corn in the air popper. while it's getting going, melt a tablespoon or two of butter in the cover.
3. when the corn is all popped, sprinkle a bit fine grated cheese on it, then salt and pepper or other seasoning, then shake the bowl a little bit to settle the mix into the middle of the corn. repeat once. my favorite mix is mrs. dash and just a bit johnny salt.
4. place the butter-filled cover over the bowl and shake in a circular motion (back to front and up and down). just up and down won't work -- what you're after is getting the corn in a circular motion -- otherwise you coat just the top layer of corn.
the butter is key -- without it the cheese and season will just fall to the bottom of the bowl. of course you can adjust to taste -- it ain't rocket science.

the GNU/FSF folks aren't going to be so willing to accept this as "True" free software.
The one and only reason the GNU/FSF folks will accept this license is if it meets their previously stated criteria. They have a definition, and other licenses either fit or not. It's really not complicated, nor does it need to be heated.
It amazes me to see such simple stuff celebrated and drawing so much attention.
Not me. The main reason del.icio.us has gotten so much attention, IMO, is the simplicity. It's a tool, it does one or two things and does them well. Oh, yeah, plus you can bring in bookmarks into any app via RSS.

Basically, Zope plus Plone is an application stack that offers presentation, persistence, content mangement, security, and so forth. That it is written in python is a natural benefit, yes, but only an implementation decision.
Please re-read the parent post. What he's saying is spot-on and completely possible: write a bit of code to (a) hook into the windows exe launcher, (b) have that code silently substitute it's own ssh.exe or putty.exe anytime either of those two are started.
Fact is, doing something like that would be so trivial that it should prove once and for all that Windows is a crime.
Write down all the ads/sponsors, and boycott every one of them while encouraging friends to do the same.
That's not enough because the company won't ever notice the lost sale, nor will they know why they lost your business.
Much better to write them a nice, polite letter explaining that you won't buy their products and services so long as they advertise in such an offensive manner to you. Then sit back and watch as... nothing changes.

the butter is key -- without it the cheese and season will just fall to the bottom of the bowl. of course you can adjust to taste -- it ain't rocket science.
enjoy!
I like them too, and now I have a few things to try and get more of them.
I've often thought there's a market for them. If produced in quantity (and consistency), you could bag them up like those corn-nut things.
Popcorn (food) for thought.

Methinks "Free" will be impervious for obvious reasons. Not even Microsoft could induce such double think.
