If groups aren't anything like a fix to the "flaw of a superuser", then ACLs, which are just groups defined on a per-file rather than a system-wide basis, are still not going to fix the flaw.
Or creative commons, like Cory Doctorow's work (which is on par with most similar fiction). Or just old, almost like James Joyce's work, which arguably nobody reads, but for Joyce at least, a lot of people talk about it.
And as for getting stuff...at least for now, the experience of an ebook is a lot less enjoyable to most people than that of a dead tree book. Dead tree books have portability advantages as well. So if someone likes a book they find on Open Library, they might well buy it on Amazon.
You can sell a limited amount of stock to a limited number of people before your IPO. Around here, you could sell to 35 people or companies, and I'm not sure how much you could sell. It differs by jurisdiction, though, I'm sure.
But it's not a voucher for software; it's a voucher for a service -- for support. You can buy support for Microsoft products from organizations who have no rights to distribute the products they're supporting (at least in theory). You can buy support for mechanical equipment that has patents on it, from an organization that does not have a license to use those patents. And you can buy support for Linux without being constrained by the GPL.
So, theoretically, if the GPL said that you had to be a practicing Wiccan to distribute GPL'd software, you could support Linux and the entire GNU software collection without being a Wiccan. You just couldn't distribute it.
So, if Microsoft's vouchers are unrelated to distribution, MS isn't bound by the GPL in any way.
Right, if you're just selling tickets that other people can exchange for Windows support. MS isn't distributing software for Novell; it's just selling vouchers that people can exchange for Novell support. Nothing to do with software distribution.
Now, if MS servers were hosting software licensed under GPLv3, that would be an issue. But that's not happening. MS isn't even granting people access to software on Novell's servers, or handing out vouchers that Novell will exchange for such permissions. So the GPL in any form should not apply.
With Windows, you have to find the.exe you just downloaded, click on it, and hope that it doesn't contain a trojan. Though usually this is just one step; the third part is forgotten. And then you wait for the wizard to complete.
With Linux, you have to find the name of the program you want to download, search the repository for whatever name your distro uses, and then install it. Or you're using a graphical installer in which case it's pretty much one step, not even a wizard in most cases.
This is one area where the command line suffers in Linux. That's because the package management commands are not stateful. Perl has pronouns; I really wish bash did as well.
Or you could remount a standard trackball mouse into a pistol grip: thumb moves the ball, and you have four buttons on the grip. You can rest your hand however you want, and you've got plenty of accuracy.
I've seen mouses like that. And I've heard good things about trackballs for gaming, though that was compared to joysticks, so I'm not sure how they stack up against regular mouses.
The second report lacked detail. It mentioned that the writer had removed some packages but kept GNOME around, but only about five lines were dedicated to each distro (there were four, though I believe two were Red Hat or strongly Red Hat based).
Also, none of the vulnerabilities were enumerated, so you couldn't guess at what software was installed on that basis.
So it's quite possible that the report was based on Linux, X11, and GNOME with the minimal amount of other stuff to make the system run, but somehow I doubt that.
For (7), I'd be acting strangely if I had random cars and planes following my every move. And the worst crime I've committed in years is jaywalking.
That would also explain the cash and passport -- if you're being chased, you want cash on you in case your enemies can trace your credit cards when you manage to lose them; and you want to be able to leave the country.
As for motive, his wife left him and started sleeping with someone else well before this. A very patient murder, if he's to blame.
On the other hand, nobody's vetting the Vista source right now. And there's no indication of what the various vendors mean by "High Priority" -- is it something that only the locally logged in user could trigger? Is it a vulnerability that would allow for remote exploits? Is it a remote attack at all, or does it just open up the possibility for trojans?
What we'd need is an independent service listing the vulnerabilities and ranking them themselves using the same criteria for each operating system. Until that comes out, I'll say Vista is more secure for now. But as crackers become more familiar with the system, the rate at which new vulnerabilities in Vista are identified will increase.
It's al Qa`ida, not al Q`aida. The `ayn follows the alif.
Now, if al Qa`ida were motivated by political idealism rather than religious idealism, it would be proper to imply that the US becoming a police state[1] coincides with their goals. Since they are a religious organization, the majority of the US population would have to convert to Islam -- and preferably offer some sort of apology to all of the Middle East except for Israel -- to appease them.
As for reporting [international] travel to the FBI, that's probably standard procedure if you have a security clearance, and not surprising.
[1] "Police state" refers to a level of freedom and means of enforcement. "Fascist dictatorship" refers to a mode of government (dictatorship) and means of market regulation and flavor of propaganda (Fascist).
If you haven't bothered to proofread your resume (or if you have trouble with spelling or grammar and didn't bother to get someone else to proof it), you're lazy or you're stupid or the resume doesn't matter much to you. Any of those is strong incentive for me to turn your application down. I mean, worst case you could go to the nearest university, find an English major, and pay them $20 to look it over.
And usually that software only runs on Windows. Sometimes Macs as well. An argument for using Linux or Unix, I suppose -- or just not installing foreign software if you don't trust the source.
Also, you don't have any control over what types of ads are displayed. This could have a large effect on end user content filtering systems. How would you like your child-oriented site to be labeled as pornographic because some popular ISP decided that it'd be a good idea to slip dirty ads in?
Of course the original poster could just buy a Windoze PC from his beloved Dell and install Ubuntuu on it himself, but I guess that kind of thinking is too "out of the box" for many people. Strange, usually when people go with Dell they want an out-of-the-box solution.
In my experience, you write all the payment information except the value by hand, and fill out the receipt the same way. I might have filled out the receipt with your name, but the money order itself went to my cousin Bob.
Hopefully that's changed by now (three years or so).

No, it's more like: Open Source, as long as it doesn't work with anyone else's software.
All, or almost all, their OSS-like licenses have that as a clause.

If you lock everyone up, by definition you are locking up the innocent without letting the guilty go free. QED.
This actually looks like a fair comparison.

Ah, DeCSS. Much different :)

Are you referring to DSSS?
I don't have the exact reference, but this was definitely New Testament, from the mouth of Christ (according to the scribe, at least).
Also, 'usury' refers to charging unreasonably high interest rates, not just charging interest.
Canonical provides support for home Ubuntu boxes. They just haven't managed to set up a similar deal for businesses, I guess.
Despite the parable about the servants who were given money while their master was away?
One doubled the money.
One made back half again as much.
The third dug a pit and buried the money out of fear of losing it.
The master returned and berated the third servant, saying he should at least have invested it with the money lenders so he could get some interest.
So, where in the Bible are you getting this? (Not that I'm Christian; I'm just curious as to the source of the contradiction.)
