The four principles the United States issues on June 30, 2005...
That's a pretty bad error. I wonder if this letter is genuine, if the US Government actually sent the letter with errors, or if the Reg editors fucked the letter up.
And in dealing with international bodies, you'd think the author(s) of the letter would attribute the country they represent in their sig.
Either you were an hour late into the discussion, or you were waiting for your web browser to finish compiling on your Gentoo box before you could reply;-)
In any event, I won't disagree with Slackware being a nich distro - but lots of distros appeal to certain niches. Additionally, use of the term "irreleva(nce|nt) is kinda strong - and I repecfully disagree that Debian and Slackware are even remotely "irrelavent."
Polish? That's quite a subjective term. Lots of folks may think Debian or Slackware or F00ware are polished. Some may even think Gentoo looks like crap. However, I won't sit here and type this-distro-vs.-that-distro bullshit. Folks who do that miss a huge point about F/OSS - choice. I just think a good distro should be validated as a good distro if one thinks highly of it.
Anyway, no setting myself up, no parade, no advertising. Just a happy Slackware user, and happy developer of/on Slackware systems.
It's quick and easy to install - even for someone who has never installed it before (folks tend to judge Slackware by it's dialog`-based installer right off the bat)
Slackware's simple package manager is exactly that - simple (and portable)
Longevity and survival (and Slackware has been, and will be around for a very long time - believe me)
Light on the patches (Slackware has a philosiphy to keep the packaged software as pristine as possible)
Small footprint if you don't need the graphical stuff
Slackware is always on top of security
Unique, controlled development model which fosters stability (some could argue it's a bad model, but she's still purring!)
Not only will we be able to get our hands on Tiger on the 29th, but we'll be able to head over to the movie theaters for The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy; http://hitchhikers.movies.go.com/
I write (GPL'd) software at home, on my dev. boxen, in the middle of the night (time/location is very important - otherwise the company owns the code).
I then put it up on my webserver, go into work the next day, and show my boss (CTO) the code available on my site. He then gives me the go-ahead to use it for a corp. project. Everyone wins.
kunwon1 brings up a hugely valid point here. I'm intensely curious as to the outcome, and how lawmakers will learn/craft new laws based on this issue - regardless of who "wins". Judges/lawmakers need to realize that journalism is certainly valid in other forms of media besides paper/print/TV/radio.

fuh.q
The TLD is an important piece of the identifier, IMHO.

I could go on.
That's a good question. I'm fond of both distros :-)
The way I see it, UbuntuPPC gives that nice, Ubuntu/Debian feel on PPC platforms. Slackintosh gives that nice, Slackware feel on PPC platforms.
A colleague of mine has even ported GNOME for Slackintosh/PPC: http://gsb.freerock.org/download/ports/
And the maintainer is fantastic. I deal with him often.
http://www.connected.com/ Works perfectly - and it's faster than hell. The restore feature is unreal.

It allows you resize/move a window anywhere within the window (similar to many X11 window managers), and is highly configurable.
WindowDragon is free (as in beer).
Like I said, "...meaner than a dog shittin' tacks."
Thanks for taking the bait and proving my point :)
Now go back to eating your Gyros and Souvlaki.
Neat.
Umm..."hard" for someone who doesn't know how to script/program perhaps?
I perused your website, and found no code anywhere. Maybe you are referring to the PHP engine/interpreter itself as "opensource" (sic)?
Please help us out here and tell us what value your comment offers....Netcraft comfirms that they fail it.
It's called "Numbers"

Good forensics..
Here's the actual, original image: http://www.keytronic.com/home/products/specs/image s/ErgoColkeyv2.gif
DDoSKeyboard, or whatever the fuck they're called, probably wget'd and used that image.
