There are several optimizations that would should do when running Linux, esp. a full non slimmed down distro, on a Flash card. The easiest thing to do would be to do just check out what the OLPC guys have done.
What will happen when all IP infringers are hunted down and eliminated? It seems to me that open source, and all things that distribute IP for free would be the next target.
Please explain how this is not true for non open-source software. I don't see failed projects/programs being at all unique to open-source. At most, it is just more visible.
With all that pirated material available, it creates tremendous disincentives to content owners who need to invest in new content," Cotton says, "and that just hurts consumers over time
If the worst that happens is writter's strike level of "new content" then I am all for piracy.
I'm referring to all the data aware components of Visual Studio for ASP.NET. They are under the heading of "Data Controls" in the toolkit. It wouldn't allow me to drop one on the design form without installing Microsoft Office. There are more than one of them. The Datasource, the Datagrid, etc.
I can understand that there may be a multitude of things affecting why things would default back to Windows player. All why I'm saying that the attempt to stop Microsoft from inter using their own software is too little too late.
Now we can come to some fair talk. Your first dismal of my comment wasn't at all inviting. I fully admit that I shouldn't have used the word "require". But I will tell you that Outlook specially asked (I didn't offer) to use MS Word. If I remember correctly, it apparently couldn't (or wouldn't) display a particular email. But no it doesn't require Word, I assume it would have found some way to display the email in question without word.
I stand by what I said about the Visual Studio components. They had no obvious ties to MS Office, I assume the devs know what the link is.
And about Windows Media player... this was on my desktop, not a workstation, so no group policy. I had installed VLC, and had it opening all my files, and defintely ogg. A few weeks later, I clicked on an OGG podcast and it opened up in Windows Media. Subsequent media (although I really don't do this often on my Windows machine) all opened in Windows media player.
However, at this point, I really don't care. They an do what they want with their OS as long as I am not mandated to have or use it. And I really have no interesting in making anything up, but acknowledge my mistake in the original wording.
Microsoft Outlook needs (and loads) MS Word. MS Visual Studio requires MS Office for some of the data aware components to work at all. Windows Media player often "reactivates" all on its lonesome
Well that's a battle they will never win. Some way along the line it was decided by the average person that Wikipedia is not trustworthy. This idea is strengthened every day by academedia. And it doesn't help that people often link directly to Wikipedia and still not even use a perma-link to so that people get to read what you read when you made the link. And really, one should link directly to the source if it is available online.
The problem is not that people think Wikipedia is trustworthy, but that Britanica etc are trustworthy. At best they are just less untrustworthy than Wikipedia if only because the processes at play are less transparent.
How is that even possible? Only geeks, I would think, know about it. Not everyone who knows about it wants it. And Not everybody who wants it has Windows to even be able to run it. How can that subset maintain 1.5 x 10^6 a day??
Because there was surely no productive results out of this. If he had used some open source (sorry) spreadsheet program at least he may have found and filed some bugs.

Did anyone else look at the title of this article and immediately think of "Battered person syndrome"? I did for some reason. Weird.

Let me pad your list a bit with things of the top of my head
And thats just the stuff I use regularly.
How different can Debian really be compared to RedHat in terms of stability? They both use the Linux kernel, and GNU tools, and follow the LSB, no?
And engages in no similar practices.

Because apparently people who are lawyers sat down with the information and came to a consensus on its legal meaning.
Sending an email through your GMail account requires a password. Apparently there aren't many (purposely) open SMTP relays anymore, which is great.

Look, if you don't know, don't reply. But don't say it doesn't.

That is the most selfish post I have seen for the entire year.
These are an independent collection of tests.
Not really. I often hear/read of browsers degrading compliance for the sake of rendering what would otherwise work only in IE.
If you paid for it, are the listings really free?

Do not make everything a web app. Please do not make everything connected. Surely not every application need to be moved onto the browser.
Your leadership in these past decades will be legendary.

Which people? GPL generally doesn't affect end users as far as I understand.
