The linux kernel is licensed under the GPL version 2 only. Also, afaik, to change the license of linux would require written permission from everybody who has ever contibuted code (that hasn't since been removed obviously).
The FSF releasing a new version of the GPL (GPLv3) would not rectroactively relicense all GPL2 works into GPL3 works.
i live in blackpool, uk (tourist town, should have good transport). our transport system used to be piss poor, some company bought it, and now its ever so slightly better.
i got my first car about 2 months ago, and before that it was 45 minute busrides to college, after walking 20 minutes do the damn bus stop. In a car, that same journey takes about 15 minutes without speeding.
the 11's in the morning are due every 5 minutes iirc, for the school children and college goers, but your lucky if one comes within 20 minutes.
when the bus finally does come, its either full of screaming school kids, or pot/cig smoking college students, or heroin addicts from near the town centre.
im a smoker myself, but its not nice having to breath in other peoples smoke for 45 minutes on a cramped crowded bus, pot smoke is even worse.
the seats are not comfortable, the ticket prices keep going up and up (blackpool transport celebrated record profits last year, suprise, suprise).
I can say 100% that if the public transport system was even nearly as quick, (time) efficient and reliable as driving a car, i wouldn't have bought a car (£1700 for the insurance for a 1.3l ford escort, but thats another topic).
in the UK, we have road tax, which is, in theory, to pay for road maintainance and stuff. fuel tax is just to line the governments pocket*

modern things in general do use less resources (as people would rather buy things that cost less to run).
One i know of is modern toilets, they use a hell of a lot less water than they used to.
Electric showers (vs the boiler)
home insulation (subsidised by british gas in the UK, iirc)
Either convince everybody they didn't really like that whole electricity lark anyway, or find a way to make more energy. The point of nuclear fussion is that its perfectly clean, and renewable.
i think the best teacher i ever had was a history teacher. He was very funny and what he said always stuck in my head (when italy invaded abbysinia with their armoured cars, the natives attacked them with sharpened mango's). He said that years ago and i still remember it.
doctor: START_CUTTING (ping time 5ms) server: STARTING_CUTTING(ping time 5ms) doctor: LEFT_A_BIT(ping time 5ms) doctor: LEFT_A_BIT(ping time 5ms) doctor: LEFT_A_BIT(ping time 5ms) doctor: STOP (ping time 1s)
that would cause a patient to lose a lot of the left side of whatever it was that was being opened up.
but i bet people were thrilled around the introduction of the electric drill, as opposed to spinning the bit round manually. its the same in computers - if something is much better its worth getting 'thrilled' over.
you're supposed to set a p3p policy if you set cookies, and that way the browser can block or allow cookies for you. if you have cookies such as 'remember users stylesheet' and the browser understands p3p (i believe ie does, dunno about others) then the cookie will be accepted, if its a traking cookie, then it'l prompt or block.
also, session cookies are neccessary for secure php sessions over https (alternative is GET variables, and they aren't secure).

im guessing google also didn't allow the chineese to use the google cache of 'questionable' websites too
you missed off this:

Although, IANAL.

thats quite a rant;
pedantic git ;).
i was hoping nobody would call me on that, but i did mean the key combo for delete last word, but i couldn't be arsed looking it up.

ok, maybe not all modern things, but most
just a quick correction:
MPEG 2 layer 3 = mp3
i dont know what that means, but i'd take a guess that the audio is the third layer of an mpg2 file.

could you please recommend the company that sold you the plot of land upon which you live?
i have two guesses about this:
1: they're writing their own jabber server, and wanted it released when it was kind of ready, or more likely:
2: they didn't want to overwhelm users with scary features, so they'll enable them one by one.

it really is great and exactly what your looking for.
completely off topic:
its Utility['foo'].
although you may have meant Utility["$foo"] if you were talking about the element of the Utility array with a name the same as the value of $foo
presuming your talking php of course.
although i may be wrong - you may be allowed to use $ in array element names.
latancy would be bloody important in this case:
doctor: START_CUTTING (ping time 5ms)
server: STARTING_CUTTING(ping time 5ms)
doctor: LEFT_A_BIT(ping time 5ms)
doctor: LEFT_A_BIT(ping time 5ms)

doctor: STOP (ping time 1s)
