which have more than 3x optical zoom. Perhaps not exactly amateur class, but not quite professional as well. E.g., see this review of a S7000 by Fuji with 6x optical zoom, in this particular page they quote Sony's F828 whichs sports 7x zoom.
Nobody bothers to pirate paperback books. You could; there's nothing at all stopping you. But nobody bothers, because it's easier, cheaper, and faster to just buy your own copy.
Really? Search for Harry Potter in any P2P network. Consider also the the last title, weighting somewhat over 800 pages, was available in the internet juts hours before it's official release; for most of the world, it was released in the internet way before an official version was.
People do bother to pirate paperbacks, as long as they're interested in them. The same applies for music, or the random assortment of bits RIAA likes to call music. The same way, DRM won't stop people from pirating music because there is *always* a way to unencrypt them. It will never work as intended, just as CSS didn't work. Damned be those CEOs who put their faith in encryption rather than in the intelligence of the consumers. Even if a really low percentage is actually intelligent.
A world dominated by any single monstrous corporation, or any conglomerate of monstrous corporations, is _not_ what we want. Unless we happen to own a significant share of one of them.
Well, that can be a consequence of their support of (GNU/)Linux can't it be (no no I'm not trolling...)? Think that way, if I use Linux I haven't got to maintain a big and onerous staff just to make some big onerous proprietary OS run in my hardware. I can layoff 9% (or 30%) and maintain the same level of efficiency, or even better.
I wonder, can Apple sue Sony for incorporating a wheel in their Clies? They play mp3's and are portable. Anyway, the clies had wheels (called jog dials) long before iPods were even designed. You USers are crazy if you let this patent party go on.

I don't think they can enforce the patent outside US right? Perhaps that's why there aren't any palm or ppc with accelerometers so far. Amida should be safe as long as they stay in India - they have about 1G people to try and sell it anyway.
Of course, US may try to extradict the offenders of the patent, who knows.
Man, that will be hard. I can hardly imagine someone having to actually read something before taking a decision. That's why I prefer using the console, my fingers do it all automagi^H^Htically, without any intromission from either my eyes or brain.
A total noob shouldn't be installing Debian (as a sysadmin anyways). Period.
I'm not saying that a total noob can't learn Debian; but no one which is a total noob in any OS-lore should try and set up servers. Learn the basics,learn some more, then set up your stuff.
I quite agree. We need a standart format for configuration files; only that shall not be XML. Not everything is as structered as XFree's config files, and we'll run into several limitations if we choose XML or an XML-like format.
I would agree with you in a perfect, ideal world. In our real dirty one, people violate the GPL if they think it's too weak to be enforced. Of course, perhaps I've given you the impression we should sue them just because KISS's representative said the GPL is weak in a interview, but's that's not what I meant.
I've checked the strings [older firmware version] and they indeed are the same. I think it's highly unlikely they came the other way round (from KISS to Mplayer).
There are way too much violations to the GPL already. Stallman and Cia. should have a fund for sueing such idiots so that no other lamer shall think the GPL is "weak".
IANAL but in some states if a rape has occured and the victim doesn't want to file a complaint then since there's technically not a victim there's technically not a crime?
If there was no "public" to watch, then there was no victim whatsoever, technically or non-technically. She didn't brake the law, so she shouldn't be ticketed at all.
Perhaps someone will argue that the photographer could be qualified as a "public". Or perhaps "public nude" in legalese means nude in a public place, but I don't think these would hold up in court (unless SCO legal team were behind it).
about the same as a Radeon 8500, depending on the model. I had a Radeon 8500LE and it perfomed much like a a GF3Ti200, sometimes better, sometimes worse. I opted for the GF3ti200 due to the much better driver support under Linux, ok, ok, they taint mey kernel, they are closed, they gave me some headache in the past, but even then, they're miles ahead of ATI.
Well, computers are indeed big and fast calculators (and today they put out a lot of heat also). It was hard to imagine that by calculating so fast they could do the sort of things they do today.
It seems the site hosting the promo is from a SpecialFX software (for Amiga, I assume). I recognize at least one of the chicks as a(n ex-) Japanese porn star, Akira Fubuki (google),

" Actually in true X, copy and paste is very consistent - highlight any text[...] "
Text. For some - actually for a lot of desktop users, since this is the subject - need more than text cut'n paste. Don't get me wrong, I love X's middle mouse button thingie. After you get used to it, CTRL C and CTRL V are just plain annoying. The question is that, for desktops users - think mp3s, graphics, games, video - we need more than text cut and paste only. I am not sure if that should be implemented in X; perhaps as a new standard to be implemented in all (freedesktop compliant?) window managers.

Actually, only in Portugal. Brazilian portughese is rather different you know.

I wonder for how long you've been keeping this anxiously awaiting the next SCO story?
They will sell a specially engineered filter together with you broadband-over-power subscrption at a discount. Fear not.

Predicted that some 13 years ago.

possibly some clever mirror (physical, glass mirror) arrangement can solve this.

1. Design a special-size batterie that only works with with you product, and make sure no other standard batterie works with it. 2. Profit!

In fact, that was "Nobody gets fired for buying IBM" if you are old enough. Alas! IBM uses Linux , so...
