I threw in sid, and while the actual packages were working great, I found out Debian and Ubuntu likes to name their packages slightly different sometimes.
For instance, when I tried, there was a problem with Evolution. If debian changes name on one package, they will include a transational (spelling?) for a while to make sure upgrades to the new package works out. Obviously, they dont have transational packages for the Ubuntu-packages. So when I wanted to upgrade all of Evolution to Debian Sid, I couldn't install some lib that evolution required, because the very same lib was already installed under a different name. Eventually I was forced to uninstall evolution to be able to install it again.
It's not nececerely painless, but the packages work.
In xine on my debianbox, it didn't work untill I installed libtheora0. Since that's what these files most probably are encoded with, maybe you should try to install that?
Well... Even if X Window is right, and X Windows is wrong (which another of your answers sugest isn't true), the headline could mean "Eye Candy of X Window". It's still missing a ' though...
I know that they does this in sweden already. Maybe not all movies on all theatres though, but the-as-close-to-monopoly-as-possible-company, SF, does it quite a bit.
You DO know that CD sales in US are higher than ever, right? That they are going up, up, up. Maybe your store (and/or the music it sells) simply sucks, and You need to fix Your own problem, instead of blaming everyone but you?
It's not only the book shop across the street that goes great; most other cd stores all across US also does.
The swedish online stores usually sell music as regular mp3:s. And I'm talking about the biggest artists in sweden here. So DRM is not necesary to sell music online.
I was a gentoo user up untill recently, and I must ask how you have failed to notice the worlds hatred towards gentoo.
Ok, the a bit more un-trollish version: If you emerge mplayer, you will se that it ignores your USE-flags because there were so many gentoo-users fucking up their compiles using too heavy use-flags, and then comming to them crying for help.
If you go to the #gaim-channel and ask for help, they will not be that welcoming... On of the developer filled out a request in gentoo-bugs that every gentoo-user should have _gentoo appended to their nickname on irc, so you could ban all of them from your channel.
Since a computer program isn't technical, you don't have to be able to prove that there are no prior art in Europe. That's the biggest problem in Europe if software patents become a reallity, I think: anyone can patent anyones program.
I live 12 km outside a city of about 150 000 peoples, and I pay about 20$ for a 8/1 connection. If I wouldn't have signed up, I would be running 24/1 and pay about 30$ for that. I don't understand why broadband is so darn expensive in USA, since it obviously doesn't have to be.
I live in Sweden.
I don't know about the US, but here in Sweden when you buy 0% financing, that means 0%, but in addition to that, there is a start fee, and a monthly fee. Since those aren't based on the price of the product, they don't count as financing.
I really really really dislike OS X. It's horrible! I feel more trapped in OS X then I have ever felt in Windows. I want to put in the WM of my choise. I want to be able to use any program by just typing "apt-get" or "emerge". I want to have what I want to have on my computer. Nothing else.
I know portage is avalible for OS X, but i dont want to put in alot of extra work on something that should be easy - install programs.
And it is really ugly.
If I'd by a mac, I would clean out Mac OS X the very first minute. I haven't ever used a G5 or G4, but I've experienced a bunch of G3's, and a 300MHz Mac seems slower than a 166MHz PC, so I won't buy one.
Finally someone agrees with me! Finally one other person that dislikes Mac OS X!
You are right. However, say that 10% of the users are supporting with cash. You may be able to convince them to pay for it, or you may not. So say that you manage to convince another percent. You now have 11%.
But say that the users insted convince their friends and family to also switch (and he/she convinces them by using the free-argument, not the no-cost-argument), and 10% of those pays. Then you will be making more money than with your 11%, even if it's fewer percents.
People responding to you says that the GPL DO allow product C to have another license - if you wrote product A and/or every other line in product C.
What they dont get is that SCO owns product A. This means that your GPL comparison is quite correct. IBM took product B, derived from product A, and put it into product C.
By the way: doesnt the gpl hold another loophole? If you derive product B from product A, it doesnt need to be gpl:ed as long as product B is packaged without any gpl:ed code as a patch for product A? Doesnt have anything to do with this, just wanted to talk a bit more...
You've got a point there... Most of the features that makes FireFox killer-app (exept extentions) are copied straight from Opera. It amazes me that so few are marketing Opera. I guess that the linux "all that isn't OSS must be microsoft"-horde are a really powerfull lobbying group to have on your side.
As a personal note: I used to use Opera, then I went over to firefox at 0.9. A while ago, firefox broke down compleately, and after having used opera as a "last resort"-browser, I now like it better againg. Everything seems so well thought, and everything fits together. Firefox feels shattered all over the place, with extentions that overlaps each other.
But if the file is hidden, then it wont come up. Or if the file is in a hidden map (maybe your WM has its icons in the folder ~/.icons for instance). GUIs are virtuable unusable if you cant type in them...
PKK may be a terrorist organisation, but there is a great difference betwen a terrorist organisation and a race of people.
And dont pretend that the Turkish people are innocent. You have murdered quite a few curds yourselves.
Most of Dell's models are allways on sale. Instead of just lowering the prices as the same hardware gets cheeper (and older), they say that it's on sale.

That's what I thougt. But then I noticed that the blog entry on Google is dated Mars 31. So that shouldn't be a joke.
Of course, dates are fake:able, but I honestly doubt it...

And that is just two examples...
Well, that is the point of stable: it is supposed to not change. Stable means that the codebase doesnt change, not that it doesnt crash.
I find that unstable (as in frequently changeing code) is very stable (as in dont crash), it just gets updates more often than stable.

Wait a minute...
There are three competitors. If all of them would have a equally big market share, they would have 33% each.
XBox has 42%. If Nintendo and Sony has more than 33-9=24% each, that means XBox is the biggest console on the market. Is that not Market Dominance?
I hate dmg:s... And I happen to love terminals. Yuk for guis...

Whats wrong with locate..?
Since the precision is one second, it could actually be two seconds. Or 1.9 seconds to be more precise
Ever heard of tabbrowser extention or Opera?
