Tell that to someone who's voting for John Kerry. I spoke to one such person. As badly as he wanted Kerry to be President, the only reason he could tell me that Kerry would be a good President is that he is not Bush.
I'd think that the problem with using the internet to combat censorship and corruption is that the censored and oppressed people are precisely those without internet access. Those who have it are already in the privileged classes.
The sad part is, you say that as though it's laughable that they wouldn't. Time was, Universities were about providing a forum for dissemination and creation of knowledge, not making money.
I'm not behind Microsoft. But I do hope they win this case, because the patent system as currently being interpreted is a far larger threat to software freedom than Microsoft is. Though Microsoft shouldn't be discounted, it is more concerned with keeping its profits up than primarily crushing software freedom -- insofar as it sees free software as a threat, it works against it, but it doesn't have its destruction as a direct goal -- the way that software patents do.
Wouldn't matter to us. Or our children. Or our children's children's children's children.
And as Nwabudike Morgan reminds us, "Resources exist to be consumed, and consumed they will be, whether by this generation or some other. By what right does this forgotten future seek to deny us our birthright? None I say! Let us take what is ours, chew and eat our fill."
Where are you? Both college campuses I've spent much time on have LCDs in all the computer labs and libraries. Students are still majority CRTs but lcds are a substantial minority even in the dorms.
You're not buying the media; you're buying a license to use the software. So it's perfectly legal to use someone else's media (or a copy) to utilize your license -- as long as you only have it installed on one computer at one time.

How many public libraries are in the African boondocks?
How many of those libraries have internet access?
I think you'll find the number is vanishingly small.

Must be; group_id 1 is alexandria itself. (and 3 is mesa3d.)
The government's funding them.
Sure sign of kookdom, that.
That socialism results in less energy-waste and light-pollution?
And there is a script to download and build all of kde for you, from cvs daily if you like. I'm too lazy to find it but it's on kde.org.
I meant the slashdot "item." It's perfectly comprehensible.
There's really no problems in that article. Maybe you should hire a technical reader.
Uh, yes.

No....I have no idea what it's supposed to accomplish.
Middle-click. Better yet use tabs.

Ok, maybe it is a bad idea.

And even if that were true, you just spin something else the opposite direction, not that hard.

tsk tsk, the y is incorrect typing. ;-)
Microsoft did not introduce the concept of the start menu; that was on unix desktops long before windows.
Every house I've lived in has come with dual pane glass.
No, because you can't distribute a patch for the locks.
Yeah...I consider bruising to be safe.
Seriously, the whole cold-war allegory thing is sort of dead now.
