Ah, interesting! I'll have to work on fixing it for Opera...
I'd love to get an addon for my DSLR too that would automatically do this for me... I did it manually for now, but having something add EXIF data with the lat/long would be rockin.:)
Glasses would be a good anti-phishing tool... Seems almost 95% of the sites I come across just replace a . with a - somewhere. If people could see it more clearly.........:D
Interestingly enough, knowing Python did get me a job... My company works a lot with Java too, but my job specifically deals with about 90% Python, and 10% Java... I never thought there was a use for it when I learned it in University...
Too bad I'm maintaining code with two letter variable names all the time though, and now it's soured the language for me as well... heh.
If someone they happened to sue was an IP lawyer, or someone with a lot of expendable income... =\ It would be so sweet for this technique to backfire on RIAA.
Building from source almost always results in less dependancy issues than using packages. If a certain package was build against a specific version of a library, and you've got a newer or older library installed, you could be hooped.
Building from source lets you link against the libs you have installed.
It's more of a direct decendant, perhaps, yes... But there's been a lot more integration of the GUI on top of it... So it's kind of a toss up of which is "more-unix-like"
The more I hear about this SCO crap, the more I believe it's entirely orchastrated by Microsoft. I mean, who is is going to benefit from this? SCO? Do we think they're that stupid that they think people are going to suddenly buy Unixware instead of Linux? No, people will buy Windows Servers instead, if anything. Microsoft is the only company who stands to earn anything from this charade. It's really sad. =\
Also, more OT, I think they use windows because of access and familiarity. How many troops in Iraq of Afghanistan are using *NIX? How many of 'em know how to?
This inhibits them from making it cross platform? What's it use, Windows Media Player or something?
I believe nVidia's 'closed source'ism is due to the fact that their drivers for their video cards include code that is not theirs, and licensed from other companies, and thus not publishable...
Thus, I can't really see this as a shift to a more open source view.
Okay, so where are the closed source drivers? Though I'd prefer Opensource, I'd really like to get an 802.11g card... But there's no support in Linux yet!
It's not just cuz everyone's an MS hater. Personally, I don't really mind MS, with the exception that it's a pain in the ass to get infected with Code Red, Nimda, etc etc.
I run Linux on my laptop and Windows at home. Why? Because it's different, it's interesting, mainly. And because I have a higher control over my system and as a Computer Scientist, I can actually see some of the things we talk about in those stupid classes in action. As I watch the kernel compile, I see mutex functions and remember the operating system course I took 2 years ago. I see gcc compile and I remember that class I took on assembler.
It's also kind of neat to have a fully customizable desktop, with weather conditions and wireless network link quality displayed in the 'panel'. Litestep with Windows used to be neat for this kind of thing, but for me, it never quite seemed as stable as explorer was.
Also, what happens when you've used Windows for 10 years straight and you get a job at some company that uses some form of Linux? I'd think it'd be nice to be able to sit down and get to work without having to complain to IT you don't know how to use this non-Windows crap.

Thanks!
They can't. It works fine (tested), making this whole fiasco worthless time and news.
"we were concerned that servers wouldn't be able to handle the load" -> Slashdotted already. :(
Or something more techno-cool?
I think it is just to be released on PSx first, by a matter of months. Then later, Xbox and PC.
No, I bet he was talking about http://www.youforgotpoland.com/.

All Microsoft does is blacklist certain product keys. There's numberous ways to get around this, such as with key gens or key changers. :p
Last I knew they were suing IP addresses and getting the names of the people later, no?

Or a fast computer... :)

Entire Gentoo System built from scratch with ~230 packages... ~9 hours on an Athlon64 3000+.

Sweet, I knew there was a way... Thanks.
Yeah, it's infinite, really. Even if it sucked, the ratio would still be awesome [some value greater that 0] (usability) : 0 (cost)

Perhaps it'll finally be unmasked in portage. I hate editing my package.mask file after every sync, just for gimp! Yay! Rejoice!

hahah, this is a great clip, its' been passed around on IRC for a few days now... really worth seeing! Everyone go grab it! hahaha...
A Xerox machine _could_ be used to violate copyrights too... Does that make it illegal now under DMCA?

Hey man, I even started my post out with "I've got nothing against MS and run it on my desktop."
:)
Why you bitching at me?

So geez, get a grip. We're not all MS-avoiders.
