Yes the results are mixed. But the Drupal project got a webchick (really, that's her nick!) from the 2005 SoC and since then we hope that every SoC will have someone like her (hardly possible, but let's hope).
Which is sunlit whenever the sun is up and yet my computer monitor do not reflect sunlight, ever. I do not know whether it's even possible. But I would _love_ it.
Dear Guild,
Thanks for going to court against a 87B mark.cap. company. The only possible outcome is that Google will turn to the lawmakers to change the (C) law to read something that fits more the 21th century than the Berne convention from the 19th.
RIAA and MPAA will not say thanks when the law that supports them suddenly disappears, you know.
I am a geek, I program PHP for a living 12+ hours a day, I have used Linux on my servers since 0.99pl15. Access/tweak/control every last flippin' setting? No. I am running Kubuntu and I have no wish to set anything at all. The OS for me is something that makes my machine tick and I can not care less. I bought a scanner the other day, I plugged it in, started kooka, pressed OK when it told me that I have this scanner and scanned away. No "Found new hardware wizard" not even small windows in the middle of my desktop. That's the way it should be.
As it is much more likely the drive electronics will die (I suspect it has something to do with the heat...) than the HDA, this won't have any benefits.
It's easy: if you like the music you've downloaded, write a nice letter to the band, put it in an envelope along with a five dollar (or five euro, you get the picture) bill. Even with some insurance postage you'll pay a lot less than with buying a CD but the band will get a lot more than from royalty...
It is very interesting that one needs a topic on Slashdot where gazillions of people tell him to lock the door. And there are cases when do not lock it. I live in a two million Central European city and it's as simple as breathing to lock the doors. No sane guy would leave his door open.
Not that locks help too much, anyway, but that's a different story...
I've funded the first CD of a small band. It cost us around 350 HUF per disk, but when it reached the stores it was at least 2000 HUF, and this is in-country. International hit CDs sell here for ~5000HUF. Average wage is 100 000 HUF. And Hungary is not a particularly poor country -- we are just about to join the EU.
Could someone please tell how on the Earth could I sell this band's song in the USA without global digital delivery?
How could I benefit the authors of songs that I've downloaded but the CDs are not available any longer anywhere?
Time to ditch Berne convention and start again.
But of course. Books are arriving _faster_ from Amazon.com than from.co.uk. I have not yet got my Harry Potter 5, which was shipped on 23th of June. FYI: it's the 10th of July today. Hilarious. And I can name complete DELL product lines which are USA only.
I am Hungarian and a frequent webshopper. Some company have asked me to send an email with the scan of the credit card itslef. If you do not hold the physical card, only a stolen number, it's indeed hard to do... Someone else asked for a copy of a bank statement which has the card number and holder name on it. And so on. If a company _wants_ do business, it will. There are solutions. Yes, they are a bit inconvenient, but as a customer I can understand the sellers' concerns about fraud and I'm happy to cooperate.

Following this rule, Linus has enough bitching rights on any OSS software that even his grandchildren will have some.

If you think of Count Drakula, then you need a better world map. Romania is not on the Balkan peninsula. (And no, I am not Romanian either.)
Err what? Drupal was written by Dries Buytaert and much later, DeanSpace was using Drupal. http://drupal.org/node/769 and for eg. http://www.orient-lodge.com/node/view/252
Opera is now free, you know. Only OSS zealots would say no, now.

Can't believe this... Could this my first /. 0?

Use smartcards. Use fingerprints. Do not rely on passwords.
a few KB? what about mshtml.dll, a 2+ Mbyte DLL... iexplore.exe is small, 'cos it's not much more than a dummy dll loader.
