yes, it was a trust problem... Sun recently dropped the SISSL license for OOO and it is now purely LGPL... thius is because hardly anybody contributed code using the SISSL. The majority of contributions were under LGPL. I would have thought that you, of all people, would know about this licensing change...
First, OpenOffice.org is anything *but* an 'open-source'; Sun basically owns any of the contributions that you submit to the project, so the OOo core is more-or-less only developed by Sun (please correct me if I'm wrong on this one).
you are wrong on two counts:
count one: there was a dual license scheme where YOU got to choose which license to submit your code under, one the SISSL the other LGPL.
"OpenOffice.org, which launched in 2000 under the dual auspices of the Sun Industry Standards Source License (SISSL) and the LGPL (Lesser General Public License), will now be governed only by the LGPL, the organization has announced.
Last Friday, Sun Microsystems announced that it was retiring the SISSL, mainly because few people were electing to use it. "Nearly all have chosen the LGPL," said OpenOpen.org community organizer Louis Suarez-Potts."
the kids will just invent their own "sneakernet" for passing around cdrs orUSB keydrives stuffed full of whatever images they've managed to amass so far... that and using their scanners to acquire new images from magazines they've gotten hold of... and yes, as you've already mentioned, the parents will be blissfully unaware of this cos they believe the ISPs and the government are doing the job of parenting for them...
To achieve 1gbp/s to mars you need to buffer all that data in case of packet loss. Available memory will throttle your throughput.
no, you stream it to Mars and rely on an error correction protocol that can cope with many packets being missing... ie. put some serious redundancy into it.
mars rover tyre tracks and blueberries in the picture... surely they'd have used the instruments on the rover to actually examine this feature... then again, they might not have been expecting such "obvious" signs of water to be on the surface so never packed the requisite instruments like a bucket and spade...
download page for the software not sure if it includes the source code as well or not... you have to provide the machine details on a web request form...
tough titty... this is "freedom 0" in action here... the fundamental freedom to use the software for any purpose, including missile warheads and baby-mulching machines
to an overheating regulator was to stand a frozen carton of milk over the place on the box that got hot... that's what I had to do until I got around to hacking the box and installing a bigger heatsink on the regulator chip. Perhaps the milk carton trick could work here?
I usually have the latest Firefox, Thunderbird AND OpenOffice on the USB keydrive I keep on me... I also have a CD with XP SP1 and a CD with SP2 on it as well... most people who I'm fixing computers for have only got dialup and they balk at the ridiculously long download times involved these days for software and updates... Firefox took 30 minutes to download the other day on one box I was fixing... (I didn't have my keydrive or service pack CDs on me), 30 minutes with IE exposed... and that default configuration XP HE used to ship in of default admin privs AND no firewall was a shock to me when I forgot to check the firewall and all these SPIM things kept popping up. I'd forgotten how bad the internet really is for most windows using folk...
it would be an interesting filter to see anyway... but knowing them, they'll employ minimum wage people in places like India to spot the "words" and create the filters in response...
for instance any tribute bands such as the "Australian Pink Floyd Show"... mind you, I think their music isn't freely re-distributable anyway because of the composing copyrights belonging to Pink Floyd members...
they're gonna have to have some pretty intelligent filters to find "digital fingerprints" when the songs have been zipped up with passwords... and random text blocks etc. have been added to the directories before zipping to really mess up the zip file. This "digital fingerprinting" sounds like some specious mumbo-jumbo to scare people away from p2p networks anyway.
but should water be superheated to 140 degrees? That's a Fark headline waiting to happen.
YES... cos then the bugs will be killed and won't be around to breed in the water in the line from the boiler to the taps... if you don't heat the water enough, then you WILL end up with things like Legionella. In the UK, we do this shower thing differently, we have the water heater in the shower and heat the water as it is used... far simpler.
This leaves me with dual booting as the only viable option. That would mean an awful lot of restarts because I have a short attention span. And why restart when Windows happens to run all the apps I want as well as the games?
I have two boxes under this desk, one Ubuntu Linux, the other XP... I have a KVM switch for swapping between them, so the flashy windows games are only a button click away, and I can leave one paused while getting on with real work on the Linux box...
No proof of registration is needed to make up a plate, as there are perfectly valid reasons for having spare plates. Trailers and caravans don't have their own registration - they display the number plate of the vehicle towing them. So you might very well have a couple of spare plates for your main towing car lying around that you can use.
Bzzzt wrong... you have to provide both the registration document for the vehicle, AND proof of address, and the shop that makes up the plate has to record the details for every plate they make. Of course, there's nothing to stop you going to a dodgy pub to see a friend of a friend who has the machine and some blank plates... see, these regulations never inconvenience the criminals, they're already outside the normal network anyway.
stolen plates are no good, you have to swap them for a different set almost immediately or else dump the wheels quickly and make your getaway in a fresh set. It's time for those "James Bond" rotating numberplates... just push the button when you think you're not in view of a camera.
it now means they can legitimately turn round to their customers and TOS them for downloading illegal material which they themselves are no longer carrying on their own servers... bit difficult to do it when the customer has downloaded it from the ISPs own server isn't it... plus it makes them **AA proof

I find 192.168.1.100 is fantastic... there's piles of stuff on that site...
I think you'll find that that CC license is not GPL compatible.
and that is possibly the best reason for them to be used and GIF support dropped from ALL browsers.

no, you'll just be replaced by a genetic algorythm with a random input for seeding, then let loose to select for the desired behaviour.
