...the macintosh one year warranty (extensible to three years by paying hard cash) is a scam.
EU regulations require two years warranty on any technological good, except rechargeable batteries and a couple more. Still the macintosh thie^Hsupport won't comply until you sue them, which usually isn't worth even the absurdly high prices of the original replacements (100 for a battery charger!!).
Other than the above example, tell me WHY someone would not want to share amongst everyone.
A small commercial linux distributor wants to release a free bonus version.
In prevision of high ftp load he wants to distribute the iso images to several community mirrors, and to save additional money he wants to use bittorrent.
Furthermore he doesn't want the iso's to spread in the wild before the release date, so he wants to use a private tracker.
Unlickily some people bitched on slashdot several weeks before and nobody was able to provide a good example of a legitimate use of the "private" label for torrents.
As a direct consequense the "private" label has been banned from all bittorrent clients avaiable, the small commercial linux distributor bankrupts and microsoft dominates the desktop market.
Many years ago (maybe 1997/1998) the first free dialup provider (Tiscali) required a "CODICE FISCALE" (sort of personal bureacracy code) in order to register a username.
I can assure you that the most offending facts about english are th non sense relations between written and spoken language and the english morons who cannot realise that half of the World is struggling to learn such a stupid language.
Bad luck, I have just posted the same question otherwise I would have modded you up.
I think it's interesting that two out of three "experienced" SUSE linux administrators not only upgraded glibc but ignored the dependency conflicts while doing so. I did the same error when I was a real linux newbie.
Dear mister Thompson
I am one of the few peoples who read your essay. I think it is interesting that you "experienced" SUSE linux administrator, tested in the study, choosed to upgrade GLIBC directly and to ignore dependency. It obviously resulted in an unusable or unbootable system.
I did exactly the same error several years ago on my home PC. I am not a professional system administrator. I had used linux for less than a month.
Did your "experienced" SUSE linux administrators had ever used linux before the tests?

I'm sureI have read the same article several years ago,I cannot remember were, maybe on Scientific American or such.
After a search on sciam.com I have found this dated January 1995, more than ten years ago.
Are we reading the older news ever posted on slashdot?
Does anyone think we can port KDE to Windows?
It is possibile, and with Qt library already existing for windows it could be shorter than I fear. On the other hand I would surely prefer windows to be ported to POSIX.
You are not entirely true, in fact you are referring to USA rules regarding.com.net and.org domains.
The rules about italian.it domains are dramatically differents so that the domain name is equivalent with trade marks. There has been also a controversial judgment on the dispute over armani.it between misters Giorgio Armani (who registered the name "armani") and Luca Armani (who *was* the domain owner).
You are arguing that is the media, not the content, that matter. Than if Linus had printed the web pages on solid paper, or even carved them on stone, the court respose would have been different.
What is so dramatically different between an electronic document and a paper one?

Provided that the article in the summary was already "coral cached" aren't you, by chance, karma whoring?
So the next KDE mascotte will be a frog!

Not even Christmas is enought for the Debian trolls.
I guess IT means plain "it".
If you are old enought you won't need further explanation to understand what "it" means in that sentence.
Does having fun make "it" more enjoyable?
Did you used ssh tunnelling or you opened the other required ports? I noticed that ssh is slitghly slower.
Do you really think that europeans cannot buy on the internet?
Or at least they should sell a thiunkpad without MS Window for a lower price (I guess 60$/50E less would be right).

Some multinational coffee chains already have membership swipe cards that allow for rewards such as a free coffee after every umpteenth purchase
Definetly not in Italy!

One of my best friend's girlfriend is from Macedonia. He will be realy disappointed when he finds out that she doesn't exist.

That stupid sticker has no legal relevance in most of the world, even if microsoft tells you otherwise.
I have never ever seen a car stereo with a freaking auxilliary line-in jack I had one until 4 years ago, it was about 12 years old when I trashed it.
Sure, there's LyX, and probably other semi-WYSIWYG editors for LaTeX, but it's not the same.
Have you ever tried texmacs? It is rough but 100% WYSIWYG.
Does anybody know who is ESR?

As usual the law is 20 years later than the real world.
