IANAL... i learned a term here on/., escrow. In this case, if they said that people could copy even when the license said they couldn't could make that point in the license irrelevant. yes, i didn't quite get what exactly escrow means.
no, i don't follow the hype machine and i ocasionally browse games at a store, come back home and check gamerankings. besides, who has time to follow whether it's pink, gold or silver? who cares? there's a thounsand (mostly) similiar games to any other game made. i wait for the horde to waste their money and tell me if it's good. works well, ditto for music, movies, and any other industry known for crap.
you know, that's one of the best arguments i've seen on limiting copyrights. i mean, everyone says that they wouldn't like to have their favorite work changed and someone else profiting, but i have a feeling that they would understand your point.
look, Rob, it's a little too late. The only thing you've got going is that you're not Microsoft, and you're not Apple, and for that I'll prefer.rm when i can. But RealPlayer/Helix is not touching any of my PCs, nor noone else that asks.
You're crazy. Are you telling me the rich and powerfull won't get a free card out? You seem to forget that it happens in 1984, noone controls the elite. The thing is, the powerfull can pretty much disregard the law and it's consequences as is, they could pretty much buy out censorship of their crimes for matters of national security or some bullshit. And how would you feel if every desire you have is analised for its conformance with society, feeling that anyone could pick on you for every fault, knowing that your deepest feelings would be scrutinezed (sp?) by anyone. That is not a society a human being can live on. We were made to have privacy, it is part of our sanity check. I understand what you are saying, but that is giving up on the human race's ability to adapt and evolve. It's not acceptable.

Yeah, right: FreeNX Server is a Bash script, which glues together GPL library and executable components of NX to a working whole. All that stuff existed for 15 months untouched. The fact that it is Bash means that every Linux developer can fix errors in our FreeNX server.;-) Kurt Pfeifle: I was merely a mentor for the FreeNX development and I do the documentation. But I can confirm: Fabian isn't lying...;-) FreeNX consists of less than 500 lines of Bash code (additionally to the NoMachine/NX source code parts, which are under the GPL). Fabian did the implementation of the FreeNX server all by himself. First of all, Fabian is a true Bash wizard. Secondly, this implementation should prove how "complete" the GPL components of the NX are already since 15 months.
So, i'd be guessing anyone from Gnome can code that up in a couple of days as well, there really isn't a whole lot of magic here.
Hi. first, I'm from Portugal, so it's a completly different culture. about sex and relationships... my shrink said it best, you complain when you have it, you complain when you don't have it. it's how we are. sex IS overrated. my current relationship almost has no sex(nevermind why), but when we are together, it doesn't matter. it's just another part of life. what's shitty is not knowing how to start relationships with someone. i can relate, a lot. but i stopped caring too much, most women are too fake for me to care. and there's nothing worse then realizing you have a tendency to grovel just so you have someone in your life. I've not found happyness or joy in living, but i've found that i can't feel sorry for myself for not being the kind of person who in the end is a lot more empty then myself. i don't know if any of this is helpful... i guess what i'm trying to say that feeling like a loser is terribly common. however, happyness is within, in finding and accepting who we are. everyone else in our life comes and goes, every object comes and goes.

Viva, compatriota!
The last time i went at Caixa Geral, i noticed they used Diebold machines. I'll never use them, and i'll be sure to tell them why.
Cheers.
yep, suprnova apparently got pissed at sites like bitoogle.

thank you

1: she still sucks at it.
2: she doesn't sing live, as seen in recent Rock in Rio
in portuguese it's vice-versa, although sponken in a completly different way.

shouldn't it be a wild duck chase? anyway, using a real company is basis for a lawsuit.
cute story, though.

guess what, it's commuting.
i'd have to agree... looking at his webpage, there's really nothing that can't be done with FLOSS for quite a while...

and some people say 1984 is outdated. riiiight.
in case anyone doubts, it's true, that quote is from the very last episode of the last series of Black Adder.
On the other hand...

yes, the middle east is very stable...
