... is that Videotron is owned by Québécor Media, who also owns a healty chunk of the local music industry. In other words, they are highly motivated to fight file-sharing of copyrighted material.
I guess that you mean is that Videotron is own by Québécor Media who also own a healty chunk of the local music industry, the two biggest french TV channel (we are talking about Québec here, people won't watch english TV) hence control the news and also happen to produce reality shows and own 98% of all the magazines of Québec so even the rumors that we see in magazines are produced by them ?
I think they are protecting their own interests too but I think it's more a question of avoiding everybody licensing the content that Photoshop needs under their own terms.
Photoshop not being compatible with Nikkon hurts them a lot more than Adobe.
Forgive my lack of knowledge in the numerous GNU/Linux organization structures, but if one has to install some applications in/usr/bin/ and others in/etc/program/ while the more restricted programs reside in/home/usr/bin/, how is a person new to the world of Linux supposed to know what goes where!?
They don't. Package managers automatically take care of that stuff.
Advertiser: Suppress my pop-ups, willya? Fine, I'll wire your eyeballs open while I play this movie for you--
(Sorry, that last step is from the near future.)
No it's not. Never met a website that will only display the requested content after you saw a short movie ?
I think it's better to script a new command (you could name it del) that will have safeguards (like moving file to trash instead). This way, apps that wants to use the real rm won't have problems.
Or maybe they just updated their view to Firefox 1.0 In the past, you had to download the.exe of the plugin and run it yourself. Now you click on the green jigsaw piece that is in the spot that the plugin would take and you get asked if you want it auto-downloaded/installed. And usually, you don't even need to restart the browser.
Distribute the fonts everywhere in your organization (your employees are free to redistribute them if they wish). Then make a policy against embeding fonts in documents.
It's true that apps will take more juice now (not nearly as bad as he implies) but it is because we are trading cycles for convenience. Developers and users.
They don't even need to review all prior art submissions, they only need to review them until they find one. After that, they can trash the rest, the patent is already refused.
And yes, they can put people that submit stupid prior art at the bottom of the pile but they can also put at the top people who are likely to contribute good stuff, namely competitors and those who have a solid background in the given field of the patent.
The more the page it is from is popular, the more likely it is the answer you want. Conveniently, PageRank base it's ranking on popularity (expressed mostly in the number of pages that links to you). So the higher the page is in page, the higher the odds that it contains what you want.
All they have to do is do a normal search, scan from rank one and up until they can parse an answer out of the english any page. Then they display it.
The point here is to give you the right info quicker, not to judge what the truth is. And they give you the link so you can judge by yourself how reliable a the info is.
Which unfortunately cause french to be brain-damaged when it comes to technology or any field that moves relatively fast.
If french do have a word for things that are computer related for instance, it's likely to be akward or unusable (like the absence of distinction between download and upload).
The last release (Warty) used Morphix hardware detection on it's liveCD. Hoary uses the same hardware detection as the actual install. You might be interested in trying again with it when it will be out next month.

As Safarir (a humour magazine) once wrote : they just have to buy some dumps and they will be able to control the entire life cycle of their products.

Who cares ? Distros will take care of kernel choices for you.

He meant : Logging is really hard to sell to Windows Users.
The difference is that Google isn't selling license of it's beta products.
They aren't even on their front page.

It isn't by any mean hard to do.
Last I heard, there was a petition to give him a cameo in Episode 3 but Lucas refused.

Nope, it doesn't apply to you at all if you merely use the code. Only when you start distributing the result of your modifications.
Or do a serious clean up (spywares and all).
It's true that apps will take more juice now (not nearly as bad as he implies) but it is because we are trading cycles for convenience. Developers and users.
Developer's time is worth more than CPU's time.
No, the correct anology would be the RIAA offering infringers to buy the CDs they downloaded or erase the mp3s from their hard disks.
Even better, put companies and individuals that have a poor ratio of accepted / rejected patents at the bottom of the pile for evaluation.
This way, people will think before trying to patent bogus stuff because they will stop being able to patent stuff otherwise.
They don't even need to review all prior art submissions, they only need to review them until they find one. After that, they can trash the rest, the patent is already refused.

But that's just my guess.
Oh... So I guess that Téléchargement is now limitated to download only instead of covering both meanings.
Sounds indeed very akward.
Only in France. And it was effectively added because most people used it instead of the french version (fin de semaine).
But I would not say it is english anymore and you would probably agree if you heard how they pronounce words that they took from english.
Disclaimer : My first language is french and I live in Quebec.

And French is my native language.
This is exactly what my father do for online banking. He remove the hard disk and boot from Knoppix.
He have a removable hard disk trays so it isn't hard or long to do.

They *are* working on that according to their wiki. It should theorically be ready for official release.
