"Whose brilliant idea was it to give corporations the same legal rights as an individual?"
A corporation is a legal person so that not only can they do all the good things that involves but also they can have all the bad things happen to them.
They can be sued, they can be charged with corporate manslaughter due to negligence (in the UK at least) and a large number of nasty things.
With rights also come obligations, a corporation has to deal with both in the same way as an individual. The fact that few do is not a fault of them being a legal person but a fault in enforcing the law.
Doesn't the Patriot Act actually specify anywhere what it is that the authorities can request ?
If it does then surely the part of the act that has this information should be freely available.
Personally I've wondered if the time spent compiling compared to installing a binary distro like slackware has been made up in time saved due to any increased speed.
While I can see the point of some of this, surely it isn't up to distro maintainers to decide which licences I can and can't accept for me.
I thought the whole point of this was to get away from people dictating licence terms and allow free choice by the USERS rather than software suppliers.
This whole thing probably isn't going to make me stop using XFree86, rather it is going to make it more inconvenient for me to do so as I will have to download it and compile it from source.
All this sounds very similar to Microsoft encouraging Lotus to develop for OS2 then suddenly appearing with Windows 3.0 and a whole raft of ready made applications for it.

That must be what I'm thinking of. I knew my original 95 didn't have IE anywhere near it.

Didn't MS start bundling IE with Windows 98 ?
Unauthorised software on servers ?
Supervise him clearing his desk and get him escorted out of the building.
Met him at an exhibition of Trek stuff in Edinburgh.
His Scottish accent worked pretty well in amongst genuine Scots as well.
He was a nice bloke, it's a shame he is going through all this and can't just slip away quietly and with dignity.
Depends on what time of the month it is really .......

Even Milla Jovovich getting her kit off couldn't save it.
"I'm not sure if this is a GPL is legally valid president"
I thought that said I'm not wure GWB is a legally valid president. Must get my eyes tested again.
Not to boast, but I'm in 1,3,5,6 and 7 ;-) 6 being the first even numbered one I got into.
You forgot to point out that there are lots more mod-quote files at http://www.etv.cx/~bartosz
Might take a drive the 30 miles or so into Edinburgh and see what kind of drivel the M$ guys are spouting. After all, I have nothing to lose.
I'm sure I remember reading that somewhere, would this qualify as non-obvious ?

Wonder if it'll finish before my Gentoo box does ?
I am an accountant you insensitive clod !!!!!

"We are also subject to a variety of other claims and suits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. "
They really do believe that being sued by all and sundry is part of the normal course of their business and aren't shy about admitting it.
You don't have to go back as far as the GCC 2.7.x days, you can only need to go back as far as the GCC 2.96 days.
Oh.. hang on, never mind....

How would anyone tell the difference ?

They haven't bothered to release it in the UK yet so only North Americea gets to vote
Personally I've wondered if the time spent compiling compared to installing a binary distro like slackware has been made up in time saved due to any increased speed.
I suppose they have to have some way of keeping the OS division cash flow positive until they get round to releasing "The Next Big Thing"
Mind you, doesn't the release when it's ready sound a lot like Duke Nukem Forever ?
If it isn't one where a prospective employer is likely to ask for a reference then just say you were temping.

That's MY decision to make, not someone elses.
