LOL. Downloaded Opera just now, selected the graphical ads option, and blocked advertising.com in my router. Now it just shows "not found" where the ads usually appear - except for the "Buy Opera today" ad.:-)
I can't live without ActiveX.... just kidding! hmm.... I'm kinda used to the IE interface - habit I guess. Been using it for years, since I never liked Netscape. Also, Firefox doesn't *seem* as snappy. On slower machines it takes ages to start up.
Dude! Have you seen how your website renders in IE6? Looks soooo unbelievably bad. Text is massive and menu is at bottom of the page - gotta scroll down to see it. Looks ok in Firefox though.
About what? Other than TV, movies, music, and books, what do Americans have to talk about?
LOL
I may misunderstand what you mean by "outing", but I'd guess that not enough people have the skill to distinguish an LGBT from a straight person to the point where one can, say, entertain co-workers by pointing out the LGBT of the Week.
By "outings", I meant: "An excursion, typically a pleasure trip. A walk outdoors". As in, a change of scenery brought about by the movement of your feet. No sexual innuendo intended.

I guess one can always play a game of baseball, tennis, hopscotch, etc, without breaching copyright. It might require exertion of energy though.:-)
You seem to claim that copyrighted works either are not necessities or are not a monopoly. As for necessity, some form of entertainment is a necessity to preserve sanity.
How about conversation, outtings, sport, etc?:-)
Thanks for the George Harrison link. I can relate to that. It sucks when you make something up, then realize that you didn't.:-)
understand the difference between an unpublished work and a published work, but why should a published work that was once widely reproduced and distributed in lawful copies be forced out of print on a whim?
Because that's the right that the law provides the copyright owner - to give permission (or not) as he sees fit. There are plenty of other fields, not just copyright, where the owner manipulates/regulates supply and price to maximize profit. Strategically cutting the supply altogether may just increase the price of the existing stock. It's economics 101. Less supply at a higher price, or greater turnover at lower price. The latter is better for Joe Sixpack, but not for him to dictate. I guess there is a fine line when a monopoly is involved and everyone is dependant on the supply, but hey we are taking about books, movies and music, etc.
Here, "moral" refers to the originally intended interpretation of the Constitution, in the context in which it was framed
I guess thats left to the legal system to interpret. Anyways, how does a novel, game, song, painting, bitmap, etc, "promote the Progress of Science"? These are covered by copyright.
Do you think the founding fathers would have approved of a life+70 copyright term or of works being unavailable for licensing at any price?
Yup. For sure. If I paint a picture, I expect to sell as little or many prints of it, when I like and for what I like. If I want to copyright something, and let no-one have a copy at all, then it's my business - it's my property and I don't have to let anyone have it if I don't want to. That's the nature of ownership, one can be selfish. No-one has rights automatically to anothers property. One copyrights one's works to protect his own rights, not other people's. The same goes for anything else one owns e.g. house, land, etc. Some things are just not for sale at any price.
Interesting concept. According to who's morals? Why are your morals more correct than someone else's (in this case, the copyright owner)? Or is there some definitive benchmark standard that tells us what it right or wrong?
If OSS is really about freedom and not about price, then complaining about Gnome is indeed as legit as complaining about software you actually paid licensing fees for.
Can you just re-create the templates you need in Writer using its tables instead of importing them from Word?
The goal is meant to be interoperability and compatibility i.e. document should look and function the same in both MS and OOo office suites without work arounds. MS Office doesn't need to support OOo files, but OOo claims compatibility, etc.
It lacks the most important feature of MS Office !

Yep, it's called code scrutiny. Kernel maintainers actually check the code submitted to them (for buffer overflows and other flaws, etc). When vulnerabilities are found after release, rather than covered up, they are promptly fixed and patches released.

Ads. ;-)
Don't you mean emerging it? ;-)
Oddly, the register article reads like an opinion piece
:-)
That's because it's a online tabloid.
Why are you using IE if you have firefox?

Patrick, I think you forgot to tick the "post anonymously" option. No real ./ readers use Windows ME. If they did, they would never admit to it. ;-)

they have a moral obligation to do so

Huh? Please explain? TIA.
> ...Can you put linux on it?
;-)
I would guess not. They apparently haven't laid eyes on an actual Intel or AMD cpu in years: "We haven't seen AMD and Intel CPUs since Socket 7".
If OSS is really about freedom and not about price, then complaining about Gnome is indeed as legit as complaining about software you actually paid licensing fees for.
he goes on to breifly discuss the implications
;-)
But how will you know how it ends??

Huh? This is episode 3, dude. We've already seen episode 6. We all know that they live happily ever after.

....or the PPU could be incorporated into future graphics cards and motherboards.
Q. What did the Bachelor of Arts graduate say to the MBA graduate?

Where's Clippy? I mean, what's with that?
Simply because there is no iTunes client download for Windows 9x/ME or GNU/Linux.
Does linux have any sort of thing like this?
