Like all licences, GPL constrains how you may used the licensed thing.
You said "used" which I assumed was supposed to be "use". Use and distribution are two different things. Distribution is not a way to use software. Even if it was, the gpl is very explicit in its goal to only cover only distribution. Many people get confused over this point and think that they are not free to use GPL in a personal project that will never be distributed.That's why I responded: to clarify your statement in the general sense. Yes, in the case of palm they did distribute. But, I think its more important that people understand what the GPL says, then the specifics of any one case. This is why you will notice any actual reference to this case in my first post.
A great example of this is something like MySql. I can change the software to do what ever I want, and use it on my server to build a facebook killer, without being required to distribute the source code for it, even though its licensed under the GPL. Because, again the GPL only covers distribution, not use( or other uses if you insist on your ridiculous definition of use that includes distribution).
Also, you misspelled licenses. I'm usually the guy that people point out grammatical errors to, rather than visa versa. But, still, if you are going to offer advice about a subject, it helps your creditability to actually spell it correctly. Or at least use a web browser with integrated spell checking. Again, the point of posting was not nitpicking, but clarifying as posts similar to your last one have led to quite a bit of misinformation about the GPL license.
No, actually it only tells you what you are required to do if you distribute projects that contain it. You can use with out distribution however you want, no restrictions.
Yahoo has historically had a number of search providers other than themselves. Starting in 1996 with Altavista. They used Google as well at some point, maybe Inkitoni too? Whatever makes yahoo whatever yahoo is, isn't the search engine.
Sure it does. It does because I say it does. Each post is a universe unto itself. It may react to previous posts and flirt with a future reply, but each has a language all its own full of hopes dreams, non-sequitors, Rabbits, waterfalls, and chewing gum.
If you don't understand how words mean different things to different people whilst still engaged in a conversation, well, then you don't understand conversation.
I doubt it, but that's not really the point ( I myself haven't found any, but I don't like any comic books either. Not that I've tried. I don't really want to. Too many other worthwhile things to do.)
. The point is the current perception of anime. What would happen right now with an average group of people? They wouldn't stop and say "hmm, before reacting in a normal fashion, I'll spend several hundred hours researching anime to see if any of it is any good. Then I'll let my non verbal reaction to his statement show."
Somethings just aren't cool. Like Star Trek. Doesn't mean they aren't enjoyable by many people. Or that its wrong to enjoy them. But they aren't cool.
John Coltrane? He's cool. You can hate Jazz with a passion, but that doesn't change the fact that John Coltrane is cool.
So to sum up We agree about pokemon, Yugi are mainstreem. Plots are not normal. My definition of adult is not porn.
Based on that:
Few anime are mainstreem, admitting that you like it takes you out of the mainstream. In order to encourage more mainstream adoption of Ubuntu or any other linux desktop distro, it would not be a good idea to associate it with something else outside of the mainstream.
You provided a list of "mainstream" amine titles. Of those I've heard of one. SO we agree that there is at least one mainstream amine title. There are others i have heard of that you did not list, so I'd assume you did not think those were mainstream. For the purposes of that post Adult == Not specifically written for children ( Ie not pokemon or Yugi). But the ones written for children are just as weird and just as Japanese.
Man the nerd label is watered down these days. Back in My day it would have been Slackware floppies given away at recreational math conventions. Ubuntu Pah. Moving pictures with color and sound, Double Pah!
Now would all of you juvenile self-adjoint operators get off my hilbert space!
The only one I've heard of is Pokemon. That is mainstream anime. I've seen bits of others on adult swim, but none that I've liked. I agree, the one way to get people to avoid Linux like the plague is to associate it with weird Japanese adult cartoons.
Exactly. A small modification of the numbers, may result in it being economically feasible. Difficult to tell without knowing what the exact numbers are. (sorry no mod points, today)
To be fair, Such a site probably wouldn't want you to visit it, either.
I think the trick to convert people will be writing juch a fast,good browser that people want to use it because its so demonstrably better than ie at doing things they can do with ie, but slower. See Chrome's speed working with gmail and google docs as an ( abliet unfair) example.
Its a poor defense, but Gimp has come a long way. Compare its current interface with its old one, which is still used in cinepaint. I wouldn't touch the old one, but since gimp 2, its sane enough for me.
Great more API bloat. Everyone knows you can represent any given object with a series of differently shaped teapots. Why, just take a look at thease examples:
They can use the BFJ:// protocol : Buckwheat Flap Jack, It isn't as good, but you tell everyone you prefer it anyways. Relatives will send you BFJ packets while they send FJ's to themselves to make you feel included.
Me, I woulda suggested FLAPJACK. (FJ://). Cause, after all, who doesn't like flap jacks? If the internet could deliver them to me, this would be a better world.
Pfft! If they give enough money to Nasa on difficult enough project, they'll solve all of those. Well, maybe not the deficit, unless you consider the possibility of martian gold.
I don't pay attention to all of the legal details every time Intel and AMD fight in court, because they fight a lot. This is always what happens: a new cross licensing deal and some money exchanges hands. How much money is right? I don't think anyone knows. Less than the amount that it would take to kill either one of them, but more than enough to save face for the other.
I'm not sure what you mean by format, but the content is different, right? In any case, compare even the network broadcasts to the 24 hour news channels. You'll notice some difference in content and format. The nightly news has been slowly changing to the same style as the news channels.
Well, the thing with any finished output of gcc is that its dead simple to run from the command line. Maybe I'm a bit old school, But I believe in knowing things form top to bottom. Everyone should have the experience of having written some language, some parser, some assembler, designed some basic calculating circuits. Or at least know how to find out how to do those things after a bit of googling.

Good point.

Once again:GPL covers distribution only, not use.

Good point. I'll use a weapon instead: flamethrower. Its both subtle and Akidio proof.
Eww... Remind me to never borrow anything from you, ever.
Sure it does. It does because I say it does. Each post is a universe unto itself. It may react to previous posts and flirt with a future reply, but each has a language all its own full of hopes dreams, non-sequitors, Rabbits, waterfalls, and chewing gum.

Mainstream == something you could admit to in polite conversation with out getting strange looks.
How it works:
I compose music => pleasant smile from crowd ( people are familiar with and enjoy music, even if they don't themselves create it)
I watch Japanese cartoons => blank stare followed by nervous eye movement looking for an exit sign.
So to sum up We agree about pokemon, Yugi are mainstreem. Plots are not normal. My definition of adult is not porn.

there are more, but some of the were not safe for work...

Learned from Go's mistake, did we?

I agree BBC is better than anything we have, but its not perfect. Removing bias from news is difficult, but at least they try.
