The only reason that GNU is named that way is because Stallman's point for starting GNU is to create a complete free UNIX-like OS. He also wanted to extend the OS... Therefore GNU could be read like this as well, Gnu is not Unix, but something different
bleh. encryption.
I mean, what if to use a key, a distribution put something like a modified GPG. and you had to put a key which would translate into a real key that the OS would confirm and install.
Instead of complaining about how "the man is trying to screw me" or setting up p2p networks to distribute mp3's, I would suggest that people who are against the RIAA and music copyrights work to get the laws changed.
We are, it's called civil disobediance.
actually, the sun converts hydrogen into helium. When all of the hydrogen in the sun has been converted, the sun tries to burn off of the helium, therefore inflating it into a red giant.

It says in the Mesa FAQ that it will be hardware accelerated with DRI when they decide to include it in XFree86
They are making hurd because it is a good design, plain and simple. They have different design goals than Linux.
When Linux didn't support any sound cards you weren't whining. People dislike GNU for some reason, I don't know why, Slashdotters whine and whine about how the FSF whines and whines about GNU/foo.
Stop being hypocrites, Hurd is not GNU Mach, Hurd is aiming to be independent of GNU Mach, to be ported to a more elegant design like L4, if all of you people think it suck, why don't you help it? I thought this was the spirit of open source, no this is the spirit of Slashdot trolls.
well, you actually are supposed to reformat, since linux and w2k use completely different file systems, ext2fs vs. NTFS or Fat32, I wouldnt really expect that to work.

Switching back isn't a pain, as long as you use both regularly you can become fluent in both (it worked for me.)
You don't have freedoms just because you can do something illegal and not get caught.
well I think I will believe the ACLU, which said the same thing.

What about an enryption key?
I don't think leaks have anything to do with whether it is open or closed.

Uh, you're forgetting something. There are laws against creul and unusual punishment
And while punishing with a fine isn't cruel and unusual...that amount surely is.
That is just evil.
No, ultimate digital is an oxymoron though. ;)
apple lost a lawsuit to microsoft about apple's "look and feel"
You cannot copyright a "look and feel" now.
Kind of bit them in the ass, huh?
Hmm so they're actually selling it to us...and they dont want us to copy it and give it to friends, because our friends wont buy it then?
HOLY SHIT THEY ARE RIPPING OUR CIVIL RIGHTS AWAY!

You forget, software isn't manufactured unless you will sell it, and even then, some isn't.
Hell, all that needs manufacturing is the media and the box,not the software!
yeah, that's slashdot, modding it up as insightful instead of funny ;)
