I do not completelly agree with that. My country (Brazil) started January 1st do to that in our airports to, with a bit difference: it is required fingerprints and photographs only for north americans.
This law is based on the international reciprocity principle. Here it is used just as 'reveange' against the americans who were kind of humiliating the brazilian people on their airports.
I belive that when used for REAL security this is important, but just as a power and control game as it is being used will not solve anything.
The war might have affected a lot of people, mainly the poor ones. With those pictures we can see that even with the 'civil guerrila' the people are trying to move on [at least eh younger] and enjoy their life.
It is nice to see those pictures for another reason too, which is that give us a shot of what developing countries really are. Iraqi isn't all about caves and deserts, no country is. Of course there are several problems and poors, but people are usually happy [self experience].
What the FSF proposes isn't to give away your software for free. You can charge for your work and you are encouraged to do this. But once you've sold your software to another you, you may let he/she to redistribute it for free or sell it under the same terms you used. You people who use the software are not ruled by the software or by the company.
Stallman doesn't encourage comunism or non-profit activies. He encourage the free software for the freedom of the users.
I could explain a lot of things here, but I would say exactly what have already been said at the GNU site. Maybe you should read it really careful before saying thinks like 'turn away from capitalism'.
First of all, Open Source is a movement and Free Software is another. They have completly differents phylosophies and objectives as well.
The main concept of this kind of freedom is to give users the power to copy, modify and redistribute a software or a manual. This improves life quality and the karma (not the/. one) of the human beans. This is all the GNU Project is about: try to improve socially the humans.
If you have a free software but it isn't working well and doesn't do what you exactly need, no matter: you can just fix it because you have the source code. But if you don't know how to program, you can ask some friend of your to do it. If you don't have a programmer friend, you can hire someone to do it. That's all the beauty.
People need to see free software as a social movement. It gives you a chance to be a better human being by sharing your knowledge with your neighboor.

Unfortunatelly I have heard about an OS called Linux. And not just me, several free software and GNU enthusiasts have also heard about "Linux", but not about GNU SLASH LINUX, which is the real OS name. Linus have already been a bit egocentric calling his kernel after his name, so let's keep and use the right name.
Please call the OS that way and say to other people (as I am doing now) do it also. You will be helping the GNU Project as well the FSF giving them the credit they deserve. With Linux only, the final users wouldn't get anywhere since they wouldn't know what to do with that.tar.gz source file they got at kernel.org
Here in Brazil you can work are as a "pupil" or "apprentice" until you are 16, the law project is calles "Pupil's Law". You can work up to 20 hours per weak if I recall so the kid can dedicate the rest of the time to school.
A lot of people like to collect good encoded videos on their PC [I am one of them]. It is nice to collect and it is cheaper than buying DVDs, at least in contries under development like mine [Brazil] where DVDs [Region 4] takes several months to get on retail and are very expensives.
I belive the great achievement will come when it supports multi processors. I don't know much about clustering, but is it possible to run a program like that on a Linux cluster for example ? And how about those Intel Hyper Threading processors ?
How can he totally trust on the histories he will receive ? Asking the history sender for details ? Do you guys think that a very imaginative mind can came up with a 'fantasy' history and got it published and no one (including Mitnik) note that it is fake ? Details and checking with the press publications doesn't asure that the content really happened. I would like to know how reliable are the histories.
Well, there's still the "Return of The King Extended Edition" on November I guess.
I belive that the Silmarillion is not going to become a movie for a while, since Chris Tolkien have declared he will not sell the Silmarillion copyrights once he said it's his father's greatest work, a work of a life. It would be a really great movie and very complicate to produce as well.
But we can expect a movie based on "The Hobbit" with a real enthusiasm.
Java is widely used at portable devices [J2ME] and in industry/enterprise [J2EE] development as well. It can be used to develop any kind of application in every plataform that supports the JVM.
Presuming your app is written in Java, you will not have too much trouble if the code is well designed, concerning the way Java code should be developed.
IMHO the 1st movie were really great. The 2nd and the 3rd were really bad. But somehow I can understand that. The idea behind the movies is fantastic and exciting and I think they could had explored this idea on a better way, but with less _profit_. For a movie with this size and for that much of money involved on its production, profit is all that matters. A movie with less fx's would have a better content and a better development, but I belive less people would watch it or by products based on it. The intention at the beginnig was develop that great idea into a good history, but suddenly became a special fx movie.
That's what I dislike in the Hollywodian industry: the good ideas are usually destroyed/distorced by the money. Well, what can we do ? Stop going to movies ? I don't know...
any money from brazil ? last year brazil used 63% of our exporting money to pay the fucking US jews... but don't worry, I don't hate you and I only have pity because I know you are have a manipulated american mind... well, this is life. You should visit Brazil for about one or two months... you would see the face of the truth. While 260 milions americans are swimming in money and have a dream life about 4 bilions people are starving. Great job man... that's a good reason to be proud. But don't worry, the great empire of Rome had falled down and the German 1000 years Reich had falled too... I want to be alive to see US falling down. This will be the best day of my life.

the thousands of families that Mr. Bush fucked up here in brazil and in the rest of the '3rd world' that have been tortured, raped, and being starved would be very happy when someone shot his fscking head...

get a hold on my banana fucking american... your country explores all the world... a whole fucking continet is dying for AIDS... fucking bush redneck is manipulating your worm's little blue and white mind... give me a break... i CAN say that I AM PROUD TO BE BRAZILIAN... when all the rest of the world would be lacking water I'll be pissing on the amazon river:D
I belive that the USA infiltrating into Iraq's policy is a shame. Saddam might be evil but he was being evil and killing his people and i think americans don't care about poor 3rd world iraquians... so... that damn redneck [bush] should leave Iraq alone and give the government back to Saddam... fscking stupid monkey [bush].

Java is widely used at portable devices [J2ME] and in industry/enterprise [J2EE] development as well. It can be used to develop any kind of application in every plataform that supports the JVM.
And remember: Java != Javascript.

I don't know why everybody wants to keep distance from Java. It is a very nice language implementing the very well the OOP paradigm.
The 'lusers' may not use this new feature but Java programmers will and hopefully will enjoy it.
