    Wouldn't the work copyrighted under the GPL just fall into the public domain?

    How about a desk-top OS that can't play DVDs without you figuring out what extra stuff you need to install

    Funny, I'm a Linux user who had the same problem with a fresh install of Windows XP the other day.

    I don't understand this. Can you give me an analogy, possibly involving a car?

    There is no reason to bring up the terminal today on a modern Ubuntu installation. If there is, someone isn't doing their job right.

    Now I want a bash script that replies to comments on slashdot.

    Paranoid Linux is an operating system that assumes that its operator is under assault from the government (it was intended for use by Chinese and Syrian dissidents), and it does everything it can to keep your communications and documents a secret. It even throws up a bunch of "chaff" communications that are supposed to disguise the fact that you're doing anything covert. So while you're receiving a political message one character at a time, ParanoidLinux is pretending to surf the Web and fill in questionnaires and flirt in chat-rooms. Meanwhile, one in every five hundred characters you receive is your real message, a needle buried in a huge haystack.

    Looks like that's already underway

  9. Re:I'd like to know, too. on Every Email In UK To Be Monitored · · Score: 1

    The word is "bombs" not "firecrackers". Fifty odd people died in that attack as well as lots of people being injured. The casualty figures were higher than for any IRA attack on mainland Britain.

    That's because the IRA realised that the mass panic and damage to the economy were far more potent weapons than simply killing people. While they did murder civilians with their bombs, I don't think it was ever their sole intent (hence the warnings called in before the bomb detonated). I'm not defending what they did, but I do think they were a different kind of terrorist.

    The remark was not intended to be offencive or slanderous. From the first time I heard it I have regarded it as a genuinely funny comment (whenever someone is boasting about the level of sex they are getting). I realise that some people might find this offencive, hence I did not post AC so that they might be able to take issue with me over the comment. To anyone who was offended, I apologise

    I'm not arguing with you here, but I can tell you that 99% of the people in this call center are from Belfast (no, I don't work there but I occasionally have cause to visit). Perhaps the Nat. minimum wage ensures that exporting people to the UK proves more costly.
