The GPL is only legal to use without change. If you patch it or change the terms, it's violation of the FSF copyright or most likely invalidate the licensing altogether.
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
It doesn't matter if you change the middle, end or beginning. Part of the license is the nonchanging of it. This is very important because if everyone added patches, the meaning of the GPL would become diluted. On top of this, the GPL is a freedom giving license, you can't patch away these freedoms by adding restrictions. This causes direct conflict between the license and the modified patch in the begining. This mostly likely causes the entire license to be ruled invalid
These people should have written their own darn license. You didn't see Netscape put in a preample modifying it, they made their own.
yes, if it is actually a lot of people who are experiencing discomfort, you guys need to pool your money and hire a lawyer to get a court order for him to turn it off.
This is interesting, because almost all of the distros based on Fedora (RHEL, CentOS, BLAG) decided to skip 4 because it was considered buggy and go from 3 to 5.
They added in the run feature to Doki Doki Panic when they made it into Mario 2. This created a very different game, easier in many ways. In our Mario 2, you could skip entire parts that you wouldn't be able to do in the original.
The original Mario 2 has the disadvantage of being on a disk format rather then a catridge format, and the game had aged a lot by the time it was coming to the US. In a way it made a lot of sense to do it this way beyond how hard the game was.
Don't people read and make sure they understand a license before they start distributing software under it?
Just copy the source file from the original distro and post them on your FTP site. You could set up a script to do this while you sleep at night.
The distro I use, BLAG, which is only a couple people seems to have no problem with being a derivative of fedora and offering the source in both individual SRPMs and ISOs.
Emacs can syntax highlight. You can also compile your code from the editor and then click on a list of errors to be brought to your error. I really don't see the need for more IDE for an intro level class. If yo want to be fancy, it can also debug.
Once I called 911 to report an emergency, Livestock were wondering a highway durring rushhour. I was told by 911 that this wasn't an emergency and I should hangup and call animal control. So this required me making a call to 411 over my cell phone, which cost me $2.50. I was then connected to the local police department. Thank you so much 911. Next time I'll tell them I'll call back after the accident has happened.
I fully agree with this. When I finally learned not to take notes, all my grades went up, and I was able to learn the material with much less work. I no longer needed to study anything brought up in class, I merely did a quick review if needed.
Although I do think some learning styles benefits with note taking, this idea that everyone needs to take notes is crazy. For me, all taking notes does it cause less learning to go on in my brain. The trade off for this reduced learning is unreadable notes. I simply was never able to learn to write neatly.
Then in the next issue you have someone agreeing with Bill Gates. In the issue after that have someone cloning Microsoft software in order to get around Bill Gates. Talk about shockwaves
that is strange for Massachusetts to say that since it's still in the process of migrating towards Office. They are probably the most Microsft centric offices out there.
I figured it would be appreciated by the Orthodox Jews who don't drive on the sabbath as it would make it easier for them to drive home on friday evenings before nightfall hits.
So in order to get Linux preinstalled on a laptop, you have to ask for it since it's not listed as an option, know to ask for it since they won't tell you about, and you have to live in a couple select countries, one of them not being the United States. And this is for a product that once it has been developed, is free for them to distribute.
It's really sad they go to such lengths to hide their product from consumers. It's even more sad that this feels like a giant improvement over how things were a several years ago.

Let's see, give away your product for free in order to get publicity. But have the product lock you into using it since it hides the meta data needed to switch. When someone tries to reverse the protocol being send over public and private networks so they can get at their data, punish everyone using the software by not giving it away for free anymore and thus forcing them to either pay big bucks or suffer.
Proprietary software may not always be evil. But I don't really think this is a good example of that.
Seeing as this Black Box fathered so many other window manangers that "Black Box Style" is a term used to describe several window managers these days, this is good news to see a new version come out.
The problem with this and D&D3.5 in general is that it assumes that all the characters are going to be able to know exactly how big something is and how far everything is from anything. With graph paper they can draw an exact republica of you map. I say horse shoes on that!
I'd rather play a "Role Playing" game than a glorified strategy game. Characters should be able to know if an opponent is exactly within medium range, nor know that they have walked exactly 65 feet north down a hall. Who keeps designing everything down to perfect five foot squares anyways? Let the characters use their intellegence to have an idea about three dimensional space, but what fun is it to just give it away to them?
You order a glass of beer who's size changes from place to place? This isn't like have a measurement system, this is like going back to the days of not having standard weights and measures.
the important feature about Linux is the Linus Open Source Development Model. Unless Solaris gains this, they'll probably be third behind BSD in relevence on x86. If Solaris is inconpatable with GNU GPL, they won't have the brain trust to make it matter. If it's compatible with GNU GPL, Linux will leach out the good bits and move on.

I once saw people playing Magic on the floor of the elevator at a Con. Since they were girls it didn't bother me.

I've seen it happen once. And the person downloaded Open Office so they could look at it.

I know a couple people who do computer repair. They make it sound like the most they do on a majority of calls is do spyware and antivirus checks.

My guess was Mandoris
In their "convergence day" advertisement, they showed kids being taught how to use the cue cat in the schools of the future.
