Because that means we do not have to do anything and go on with whatever we are doing. Taking responsibility is not an easy thing to do. Ignoring the issue is much easier.
I think it is more then logical that they would do it in the most ideal conditions possible. To me it is not even interesting. Remember that flight around the world in a balloon? Do you think they did not try to get the most ideal conditions?
First you start to see what happens in the most ideal situation. Then you have some reference point for more realistic situations later on in the project.
The wordt that could happen is that Microsoft gives code to Novell. You can bet that Novell will want that recieved as OSS. I already can see the trial. Microsft: They have our source code Judge: Who gave that to them? Microsoft: We did. Judge: Under what licence? Microsoft: Uh, Open Source, but it is ours. Jusdge: Case dismissed
SuSE is from my radar as well. It doesn't even exist anymore. There is SUSE (SLES and SLED) and openSUSE. SuSE is an old name, just as S.u.S.E. was. Just like Mandrake had a name change, so did SuSE.
It is also a pity that you are led by hatred for a company. Why not just check it out to see what the "competition" is doing?
They are now working on the ability for 11.3. Could be expected in the next two weeks (altough it culd be longer or shorter as well) Just for fun I have made one that included all the MPlayer and codecs stuff.
I'm not getting the feeling there's a lot of helpful information here.
Just use your imagination. Jeez!

When I was kid, I remember playing with a stick and imagined it was a sword and a gun and a spear and a lightsabre and a shovel and... Now parents will buy the kid a play-lightsabre. You can not imagine that to be a shovel or a gun. You could use it as such, but it isn't one in your mind. The stick WAS everything I wanted it to be.
When I was young, I read books and imagined how each person looked like. That part is gone. Many kids now have a fixed image of characters and how they must look like. Getting an image imprinted in your memory is the opposite of imagination.
It's not ok for google to inadvertadly capture minute packets of useless information, but it's ok for the government to direct ISPs to intercept data illegally.
Why is it that people keep thinking that this is something between Google and some Government? This about your privacy. That means BOTH can be wrong.
For Belgium there is http://www.robinsonlist.be/ which works for direct mail and phone calls and works very good. I get no phone calls and no direct mail in my name, except those that are allowed. Allowed are companies I bought something and much worse, political parties.
I have not had a telemarketing call in several years.
Are you talking about the child abuse in the Catholic Church? Or about police brutality? Apathy is the root of all evil. Something for you to read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_they_came...
The fact that the government does something wrong does not make it right for companies to do it. The excuse "But he did it first" is pretty much kindergarten-policy to me.
So I do like what that government is doing against Google and Facebook and I don't like what it does itself. I am not rooting for or against companies/governments. I root for privacy.
musicians as diverse as I bet it ain't the artists and not even their managers, but the labels who are all behind this. They want to control everything what they can not control. They also have the power to change the law. Be it copyright or be it the right to sell what you bought.
In their eyes, you never are the owner, they are. No matter what logic you will bring up, they will say that they own it.
I am sure the music and film industry sued the devil after he bought their souls. And then won that case.
An alternative could be to have it show a percentage between 0 and 100. As this might be too distracting perhaps just show them in groups of 20% each. To save space, you could leave out the number and just show a block.
That way you can easily show the strenght of the reception and made it understandable for everybody.
If he accepted the prize, he would be allowed to do whatever he wanted with it. If he spends the money on whatever he would have accepted the prize. So even if he would not get the money, by even remotely deciding what the money would be used for, he would have accepted the price. Perhaps only in spirit.
He does not WANT the prize. It does not matter if it is only a thank-you note or a million dollar bank account.

Perhaps the biggest group is the non-existence-of-God-denialists. Man, I am so going to hell for saying that,

Or perhaps they do not trust Microsoft and suspect them on holding things back.
This all could just be some Hollywood accounting.

For me that is a reason NOT to use it. You do not want to chat with me and see how I sit behind my computer.

When I was about 7 and my sister 8, she stole a cookie and I got blamed. Injustice? Yes. News? No.
Yes. Welcome to the new world order.

Use it if you have no power over your government anymore.

I always think it says sybian and am disappointed each time.
it could have been funny like this show in Australia http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McB9tsabPn0
Normal people would. Facebook users not, because they are saddos.

We used to stand on the shoulders of Giants. Now that is much harder as those shoulders are companies with copyrights and patents.
