The 'we need 50% representation' attitude coming from feminists is completely morally wrong (sexist against men), if women dont want to do IT, dont pressure them.
A great example of (ficticious) affermative action (a result from PC pressure groups such as feminists) is here (BOFH from theregister.co.uk)
i agree - its still a pain in the arse to setup DVB (im using the cvs version from about 2 weeks after 0.17 was released), but once its setup its a mazing (dvb is broadcast in mpeg2 so if youve got the space, there's no need to transcode, therefore hardly any CPU is used for recording).
Its nice to look at night and think "ooh! two episodes of the simpsons were recorded today, i'l watch them".
Its on my desktop though, so i just use mplayer for downloaded video's
Remember - you only have to install (debian/gentoo) once to be always up to date (create a backup of/dev/hda1 if you think your going to break it). Thats why i dont regret installing gentoo on my desktop (and my gf's desktop). it might have taken 3 days, but it was worth it in the end.
I installed debian sid netinstall in vmware the otherday, to try it out and it was very simple.
GPL is an anti-copyright copyright license (copyleft). If copyright didn't exist, the GPL wouldn't have to.
There is no 'fair use' clause in the GPL (that is a mandatory part of copyright law).
Fair Use:
The right set forth in Section 107 of the United States Copyright Act, to use copyrighted materials for certain purposes, such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Section 107 sets out four factors to be considered in determining whether or not a particular use is fair: (1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes; (2) the nature of the copyrighted work; (3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and (4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.

Fair use does not allow you to pass others work off as your own.
The GPL grants you extra rights above fair use, such as modification of sourcecode, redistrobution of sourcecode, etc, as long as the source stays open.
They are breaking the terms of the GPL, (which allows fair use, by law).
Fair use has nothing to do with this. If i bought a song legitimately and tried to sell it to a record company as my own, that would be equivalent to the cherryos/pearpc scenario.
Well im hoping it'l go the other way - by the time we're using 7ghz processors people will *stop* using tables for layout, flash for adverts and buttons, shockwave for adverts and buttons.
Blackcomb (longhorns sucessor) will need more than 7ghz, but maybe microsoft will have a working css implementation by then.
But hopefully by then, every major distro will have a debian style package repository. If people only use that (use a gui like porthole) then the software is known safe.
Thats why im going to put my cusin on Kubuntu instead of mandrake - i know i can trust apt-get to only download good stuff.
I'm guessing they're divertifying their markets incase microsoft does end up with the dominant search engine (it shouldn't happen, but it could - ive been seeing a lot of adverts on TV for msn search recently (UK) and it'l be the default search engine in IE7.
oh crap. ive just tried that link in vmware and it didn't work. did microsoft remove the about:puthtmlhere [feature|bug] from IE or am i just remembering it wrong?
I set my dads homepage once to this:
about:<body bgcolor=black><font color=lime>Your hard drive is being formatted, please wait <br> <blink> </font><font color=red>Formatting......Please Wait </font></blink></body>
he crapped himself. i could have put it in a html file but i couldn't be bothered
Slashdot Mirror
BLINK TAGS! judas! kill the judas that uses non standard markup.
(unless you mean the css equivalent of <blink>)
Would i be correct in guessing there were more not-top male students than not-top female students?
The very blunt way of putting this (i wish i could think of a better word because its not what i mean): Women good at IT are freaks

Which windows programs? prehaps we could suggest alternatives for you.

Presumably he'll pick his replacement. Andrew morton possibly? or alan cox?

You mean XML is mostly used as a buzzword, and shouldn't actually be used for absolutely everything?
ARGH! Reinstalling gentoo everytime one of my -* world install crashes?!
for the humor impaired: i dont really run a -* world
A bash script of the same code would have been just as effective. I think i might steal your idea.

If the GPL turns out to be invalid, standard copyright law will apply and cherryOS will still be breaking the law.
This technology would more likely be applied in pulling the porn from RAM to the GPU faster.

We can only hope.
I doubt they'll use slackware. Nice as it is, slackware's KISS package management system is not up to being used by juan sixpack.
I would hope it would be a debian based distro (because of apt), but it'l probably be Mandrake-Conectiva
But hopefully by then, every major distro will have a debian style package repository. If people only use that (use a gui like porthole) then the software is known safe.

But something which would ordinarily be moderately funny (or a really crappy joke) would be piss funny. For me anyway, YMMV.

rugby! we're talking about football here.
Get with the program, girlfriend *does bimboey clicky waving-infront-of-face thing*
Just the expensive ones.
in internet explorer, i was expecting it to come up with a page saying:
Jacko Was Wearing Blue Underwear Today. In Other News Asia Europe and Africa Fell Into The Sea. Billions Died.
But for some reason, it didn't work when i tested it. MS must have fixed that [bug|feature].
oh crap. ive just tried that link in vmware and it didn't work. did microsoft remove the about:puthtmlhere [feature|bug] from IE or am i just remembering it wrong?
