They can do that because they own the copyright because they wrote it. It may or may not violate Sourceforge's TOS, but that's a completely different matter.
Depends on the country. In Britain, 3G internet plans are comparable in price to ADSL at around £15/month. It works out cheaper than ADSL if going 3G enables you to ditch your landline, and internet is the only reason many people have landlines these days.
The main difference other than package management is the system administration tools - do you prefer Drakconf, Yast or whatever Ubuntu, Fedora etc provide.
That's the main reason I stick with Mandriva. Drakconf probably isn't any better than the others out there, but it is what I'm used to, and there doesn't seem to be much point in learning a new one so that I can get everything set up the way I have Mandriva set up.
I would have thought that most Linux users would wait for their distro to produce packages to download, and Mac users would mostly use Camino, or Safari.
In Britain, speed limits were first brought in on the motorways during the 1970s oil crisis as a way to reduce the amount of petrol we use. I believe it is a similar position in the US. It had nothing to do with road safety.
You're being taken in by RIAA/MPAA propaganda that says it is just like stealing a CD from a record shop.
It is not. It is covered by completely different laws.
In any case, if you did steal a CD from a record shop, then as well as being prosecuted by the police, you could be sued by the record shop for the loss they suffered as a result of no longer having the record. That would be a civil case, and subject to civil standards of evidence.
Actually, when you bury paper in landfill, it decomposes and releases methane. That is much worse for global warming that the carbon dioxide it was made from is.
I'm not sure what the target market would be here. The people who use Outlook tend to be business users, and merging the PIM with social networking is the last thing they would want to do. They will be looking for an Outlook/Exchange replacement. There are a few almost replacements out there, but none of them quite make it.
For personal mail, most people use webmail services, and in many cases they already use Firefox to visit the webmail site, so I'm not sure what more the Mozilla Foundation could offer them.
GPS is a completely different signal from GSM and uses satellites rather than phone base stations. They might have both on the same chip, but then they might also have bluetooth and wifi on it.
You can get 3G internet for £15/month if you take the modem on its own. Taking the "free" laptop alongwith it pushes the cost up to £35/month, and you are tied into a two year contract. In other words, the "free" laptop costs £240. You can get it for £220 elsewhere.
You have A4 paper in my tray. The computer has asked me to print on Letter sized paper. Please could you insert some Letter sized paper in the tray. (or fix MS Word to use A4 as the default paper size)
I have no major complaints with my windows mobile device. I may consider an iphone if it had a keyboard. Symbian, Linux + QTopia and whatever Blackberries run on are the main competitors to Google and Apple.
Do the mega corps want patent trolls around? I doubt it.
They want patents to stop small companies competing with them. If a small company sues them for patent infringement, they find lots of other patents in their portfolio that the small company is infringing, and come to some cross licencing deal. They can't do that with patent trolls because they don't have a business.

Excellent idea. Then I can use advanced ebook processor to remove the password, and Acrobat to delete the personal info on the front pace.
Apache has much more market share than IIS.
IIS's security track record is much better than it used to be, but it still accounts for a more security problems than Apache.

So in other words you have a aluminium powered car.
Aluminium smelters use huge amounts of electricity to produce the aluminium, so you just have a replaceable battery here.
Regenerative breaking does help conserve electricity, but you still need to feed some in from an external source.
I expect there are more efficient types of battery than a water electrolysis one though.
Don't you use Entourage?
Actually, when you bury paper in landfill, it decomposes and releases methane. That is much worse for global warming that the carbon dioxide it was made from is.
Not if, for example, you have a Skype phone from Three.
You follow the money, and you follow the parcels of drugs coming into the country.
I do, because I don't trust them to find the right people, and because in a civilised country, people have a right to a fair trial.

Because it's not really free.

Firefox is funded by their advertising revenue from Google. If you look at their accounts, they are actually pretty profitable.

Yahoo are the no. 1 email provider, and people are less likely to switch email provider than switch search engine.
To switch search engine means changing a setting in your search box. To switch email provider means telling everyone your new email address.
Who cares how long it takes to install. This article is about computers where the installation is already done for you at the factory.
