I'm sorry, is it just me or do they seem to be taking a bad shortcut to get to a good end? It doesn't seem like they are doing this correctly. Why not plan to migrate to unicode? Their choice seems shortsighted and flawed. I hope they atleast considered unicode and came up with real reasons why not to use it.
as a native english speaker, of the american "dialect", i would have considered any of the "odd" uses of english in the http://www.rajiv.com/india/humor/langusa.asp article as absolutely normal and understandable. I would have understood everything the Indians had said without hesitation.
I can't imagine any town or city in the U.S. were they wouldn't know what a "bill" is in the context of a meal at a resturaunt or a "ring" in the context of a getting in contact with someone. it was rediculous.
I use my old motherboard boxes mostly. they usually have some foam padding, as well as those static resistant bags. I also keep those static resistant bags from the various peices of hardware I have bought. then just stack the boxes in a closet or under the bed.

DirectX was mediocre? Man, it was a headache compared to SDL, and I was doing only the simplest things. When I have a headache, I don't feel mediocre, I feel like garbage.

I site's admin configured the site to forward visitors to the google cache of the site, but if you actually try to debug something, you get back to the real site, poor admin, he thought he could get away from/.ing!
but how many people are going to submit code right away? they might look at it, bookmark it, and some time later *maybe* try it out.
i thought it was a good idea to do that.

what would be technologically cool, is limited wireless capability to honestly and easily perform this transaction. allow an owner to name their ipod, and be able to set it to allow clips to be wirelessly traded between other nearby users. maybe even by a physical switch so their connection isn't necessarily 'always on' and always drawing juice.
That is the best use for such a device yet. Instead of having some jackass blasting is radio on the street (which i thought was a thing of the mid-eighties and a passed fad, it surprisingly still happens), people who wanted to listen could, and people who didn't don't.
As far as copyright violations, how could it be a problem? If I walk down the street with my stereo on my shoulder pumpin out beats, hundreds of people will hear it, but only up to a certain distance. none of them need to have paid for the music. No difference in having a limited range mp3 player sharing radius if the device doesn't really upload/download but just "broadcasts" it.
It would be sort of cool to sit on the subway and tune in to what other people are listening to. However, for the first few weeks, everyone would be trying to listen to others and no one would actually be listening to what they have, so no one would be listening to anything.
that being said i dont have any kind of mp3 player

yep. i forget what those liars.. er i mean marketing and advertising folks call it, but its sort of like astroturfing maybe. people who work for the company take the products out to "use" them in real places, and are friendly and whatnot, let other people try it and so on. but its all covert advertising that they are after.
Users continuing with RHL9 past the end of its maintenance window will be interested in the Fedora Legacy Project, a community-driven continuation of updates for RHL9 and RHL7.3.
So are they trying to coersce a community project together to pick up the slack (no pun intended) they left behind? Sounds like a good deal if you want to get your foot in the door at redhat, otherwise it doesn't sound so hot. "We at redhat won't help you anymore, but feel free to develope a product that we will market as our own since it includes the word 'Fedora'".
I have a bitter taste in my mouth from this whole redhat ordeal and i'm not even a redhat user.

Computers are orders of magnitudes more complex than a dusty, cluttered house.
Computers are small, they are hard to visulize. It takes time to understand the ways they work.
I believe anyone can be trained to fix, design, program computers. Much like anyone can learn painting techniques. But it takes a degree of insight and craftiness to do good things with a brush. Not everyone can do that.
Gates does none of this, especially demand that things go into software. That's what mid level managers are for. Gates? He mostly stays in one room, which is filled with gold coins and hundred dollar bills, and he swims through the piles of cash effortlessly like a dolphin through a glimmering lagoon. Or perhaps like a penguin playfully chasing a plump juicy herring...

The essense of the GPL is "if you make use of the source code we have given you to write software of your own and distibute it, then you must allow others to do the same with that piece of software."
I basically understand what i think you mean, but the words are confusing. Your wording implies (to me anyway, maybe my parser is broken) that if i use a GPL'd text editor to write my code, that my code must then be GPL'd. But you mean to say that if I use code from the GPL'd text editor in my code then I must GPL my code.
However I understand, most likely semi-incorrectly, that if I use the GPL'd text editor code in my project, that all I need to release as GPL'd code is the code from the GPL'd text editor. So if I modularize my code and the interfacing code to the GPL'd code, all i really would need to release might be the interfacing functions/procedures and the original GPL'd code, and none of my original code (making sure I don't statically link to GPL'd libraries, i assume).
McBribe's allegations about an inhouse financial app is rediculous. If you develope something for your own use (corporate or personal) using GPL'd code and don't distribute it, you don't have to release the source.

So if Novel is competing with SCO by buying SuSE, that would mean SCO would have to be offering a linux distribution, or even just a kernel. But they don't have any kernel available do they? And if they are selling a linux distribution without submitting the derivitive works back under the GPL, then they are in violation of my rights as a user of GPL'd code.
So not only are they not competing, but they are violating the rights of GPL users and copyright holders.
Isn't there a Salt Lake City, or other Utah based Linux User Group that would organize a protest outside either SCO offices, the State House or Court House?
