Lets put it this way -- I believe the facts back me up on the US having done more state-sponsored terrorism in more foreign countries than there are terrorist groups targetting the US now.
Read up on the CIAs work in various central and south-american countries, africa as well.
I downloaded all the episodes of Alias seasons 1, 2 and 3. I plan to do so for 4 when it comes out as well. Why? Because some kind person makes HDTV versions available -- which are higher quality than the DVDs I bought of the same, and I don't own an HDTV TV; I watch them on my computer.
Yes, I bought the DVDs -- why? Because I want to give them a few bucks toward the next season. Vote with your wallet.
Write a plugin to send viewing/recording information anonymously to secure servers. Publish the stats information somewhere. Charge neilson for the data to pay for your plugin writing time.
You seem to have shot from the hip without actually knowing what's going on.
For one, it is well documented that many hidden API calls exist that Microsoft's own other teams (like Office) then use. Microsoft tried to claim once in court that these undocumented APIs actually *slowed* their code down (because they'd be guilty if they leveraged their internal knowledge of undocumented OS APIs against competitors).
Also, Novell has most definately never been in the business of giving things away for free. Maybe you're confusing the FOSS community with Novell? Novel Linux is about $50 even, last I checked.
If you *don't* realize that the American military is willing to use excessive force against any nation it so chooses, then you're not aware of your american military history.
Read up on the many countries that have suffered as a result of the US's projection of force.
Our health care system is in an artificial mess caused by bitter administrators for the most part. That said, many good institutions are still doing incredible research work, like that at UofT or Sick Kids as you mentionned, or Mount Sinai or Princess Margaret, or the Cancer Research Centre in Sudbury at Laurentian, etc.
In the glib library, there are even nice little helper functions that allow copying and concatenating strings while allocating the necessary memory (in C) like a string class would for C++.
string2 = g_strdup_printf("blah %s blah %d", a, b);
(drawing a blank on function names; sorry)... wherein string2 is allocated to be the correct size to store the resulting string instead of guessing in advance.
djb uses a similar tool in his applications (qmail, djbdns, etc.) called stralloc and it works very well for avoiding these memory issues.
For the sake of performance, you may wish to use a malloc implementation that's good at handling many small allocations, mind you.
At least with Firefox there's bugzilla -- I can go check on how the bugs are doing, and even assign my own developpers to fixing them if they bother me enough.
I see a lot of responses that are just as american centric as the poster accuses the prize rules of being. I'm canadian for example, and we had a contestant that was very close to having their ship into space in time for the X prize, but they won't be trying their novel approach to space travel in the US for this prize -- they live here.
If you want to push for america, then push for it -- if you want space travel, then open it to the world. If you want a reasonable limit, tell them they have to commercialize and license their technology if they win.
I think #1 may in fact be correct. SCO *needs* good spin on this issue, and we all know Darl isn't providing it. Given proper implementation, they could possibly help themselves with such a site.
I doubt they'd win the case, but their share prices may go up long enough to sell out.
Calling a person who makes an uneducated statement uneducated isn't a personal attack per se. And considering the so-called Christian roots are in fact Judeo-Christian by definition and go back around 6000 years in Jewish history, you'd have a hard time figuring out who took what from whom as world history goes.
Not to say that historians don't argue over that regularly.
I agree -- and it bothers me to some degree, but I enjoyed the story. For nonlinear gaming, I play Morrowind on my PC (and have been playing it since it was released many moons ago).
My wife however, the different person from me that she is, doesn't enjoy Morrowind -- she doesn't know what to do next. FFX on the other hand, she found exciting until that point in the plot, when she lost track of where to go next.
It loads pages faster than IE. IE doesn't load faster than Firefox incidentally -- it loads when your system boots and never unloads from memory to my knowledge.
You wouldn't know how long IE takes to load because it doesn't unload.
Along that line -- look at the Calendaring app that has been developped for Firefox/Thunderbird in XUL. It runs from the Tools menu and presumably could be made to launch directly from the desktop too. Full groupware suites done in XUL would be incredible.

WinCE is *not* better than PalmOS according to most people -- it just looks prettier. There seriously is a huge difference.

Tell that to all the people who've already done it.
There are quite a few plugins for Firefox, as well as extensions.
Grab some source for someone else's and take a look if you're actually a programmer.
Famous intellectuals:
Common sense: not so common.
In case you missed it, Sony realized that this geek crowd is important enough to have actually marketed Linux on their harddrive as a product.

I've disconnected, come back later, clicked on "retry" next to the download in the downloads manager and it works.
What are you talking about? Firefox has good download management as well as resuming features.
I use them regularly.
Is longhorn being written in C#? :-)

Here in Canada, the government messed with it and made it legal to copy music for private use; we have a resulting levy on blank media.
I'm not sure what it is about elections that people don't understand -- call your local rep and tell them what you think.

Can I up the ante?
I want a phone that works perfectly as a phone.
Within my coverage area, I want perfect reception and clarity; I want multi-tower switching *while* in a long phone call, etc.
Every now and then I point out to someone how preposterous Relativity would have sounded a couple hundred years ago.
We need to quit believing we already know everything.
I thought we were in charge; you know, the voters?
...
Lets say that in a democratic country a majority decide that downloading music and whatnot should be allowed, for personal use at least
Oh, nevermind, I already live in Canada.
