I would argue that online piracy isn't theft as it isn't permanently depriving the owner of the same. It's duplication.
Indeed we did show them the way, but we have long since build systems of prevent it happening anymore.
Also, let's not forget, when we did it, we made it blatant what we wanted, and why we wanted it. "We're going to invade you, because we can". The American empire prefers "We're going to invade you, so you can be free... Ok?", "No, actually, please don't.", "TOUGH, FREEDOM WILL BE YOURS.".
Hypothetically, what would happen if we were to discover an atmopshere capable of sustaining life? What if we discovered oceans, trees, oxygen? What if we discovered life hundreds of millions of years away? Would we attack? Would AMERICA attack? What would happen? What would we do?
Well, not exactly. The reason is because the the XServer doesn't and can't use the same DRI API, and so 3d acceleration plus the composite manager (the extension for the new server) wont work on any existing XFree86 fork. What needs to be done has very little todo with Sun, as it's all already under the X11 license.
I remember Piers Morgan saying "I am 100% certain that these photographs depict an actual event". That is slightly different to your claim.
Also, the claims in the paper have brought forward the Red Cross report on prisoner abuse, that Blair and his cabinet claim they never got, as well as now led to the arrest of four British soldiers after they publicized "Soldier C".
Piers Morgan had guts, and I respect him for that, he did the right thing.
they've lied and lied, first the war in iraq, then tutition fees, then foundation hospitals, the hutton report and now they're "scaling" back mirror.ac.uk. IF THIS ISN'T A CASE FOR REVOLUTION, WHAT IS?!?111
As far as I know, he was fired after a corporate meeting with his US share holders, and then escorted from the building by security.
This is a serious blow for the truth in the UK. These pictures depicted an event that happened, they were reconstructions, not fakes. That is the real issue.
This war is having a serious toll on the UK media. First the BBC, now the Mirror...
I'm a geek who attempted cycling earlier, in a competition. I came in fourth, with a time of 2:20 for a mile. I subsequently collapsed and have been ill since.
It's his job to write articles without inaccuracies.
Instead of just dismissing the awesome work of the GIMP developers, how about making some constructive suggestions?
'Open source' means that the source code is available at no cost to anybody that wants to download it, use it, modify it, use it to fill empty hard drives - whatever.
I think we now know what kind of knowledge this guy has, and how easy it will be to disregard his opinions. Troll.
You're obviously another bone-headed American without an idea of the invaluable service the BBC serves to this country, and the World.
The BBC is owned by the state, and funded entirely by the people in an annual license fee. The license fee means the BBC can remain non-commercial, and non-for-project. As it's reputation quite rightly is, the BBC is the world's only 100% independent news service, and answers to the people, not a government. Did you follow the Hutton report?
No, I'm not. Windows is not an attractive desktop. Nor is KDE.
Perhaps your opinions differs, but I find it hard to understand arguing that Windows isn't attractive to most desktop users. It quite obviously is, as it's successful.
KDE isn't perhaps the most beautiful, but in terms of usability studies have shown it's just as usable as Windows, and in terms of accessibility, it's better.
What are some of your flaws? Perhaps we should tackle them?
I think you're confusing Windows with a desktop that's attractive to the majority of desktop users. We're changing the world, and we're providing users with freedom. They will never accept that freedom unless our software is easy to use.
Simon Phipps has missed the point. ESR acknowledges the contributions Sun have made to the Free and Open Source communities, and appreciate them, but the point ESR was getting at was that those contributions are inconsistent with how they treat the Java platform. Why don't they support the GNU Java Compiler, or Kaffe more than they do? Why don't they release the specification for SWING so all virtual machines can implement it? Why don't they remove the intrusive license which prevents distributions bundling the virtual machines?
That's what ESR was getting at, not the FUD Phipps thinks he was. He should learn not to react on impulse.
To me, Suns licensing policy for the Java platform is self-detrimental. It would do alot for our community, and for Sun if all users of the GNU operating system were to have a capable Java VM installed by default.
Finally, what was that crap about the "too-hard" list. What an insult!?! You may be our friend, but we're having a row!

I thought there was already one...
So... it doesn't fit the necessary requirements for OSI or FSF and therefore doesn't warrent the label Open Source (let only Free Software).

Are those who spam really going to take note to this? Aren't they already breaking the law by sending unsolicited emails in the first place?

How ever basic, it was wrong.
He lost credibility in his first paragraph:
'Open source' means that the source code is available at no cost to anybody that wants to download it, use it, modify it, use it to fill empty hard drives - whatever.

I was fortunate enough to speak to a BBC employee about the codec at the Linux User & Developer Expo in London.
For one, MXF and AFF are two wrappers for convential video codecs, which add invaluable meta data to the file.
Dirac stands out as being a unique codec as it concentrates wavlets, motion compensation and arithmetic coding. This is not your standard codec.

But how does one make $1,000,000 from spamming?

Konqueror (GPL) and KHTML (LGPL). It's good enough for me in KDE, and good enough for Apple in Safari.
I do, and I _never_ use other engines. The only situation where I don't use google first is with software. Freshmeat gets me first there.

Well, they have some GNU Makefiles, so maybe their secretly maintaining a GCC version :)
