I think the fragmentation of the linux market is a good thing. Anything that stops a single vendor from having a monolopy is a good thing. So i feel united linux was a good thing. Although I personally feel debian will stand the test of time, resisting red hat for supremacy.
Does it add anything to IE that The proxomitron doesn't also add? Besided skinning of course, but I run windowblinds so I don't really want them anyway.
Apple probably have a point that these are not really CDs. Philips seems to agree with them. Remember, Philips control licenses for the Compact Disc logo. I was wondering, are these new discs labeled as compact discs or not?
Nice, I guess I haven't been paying attention have I. Anyway, here is the correct link to wincustomize. But hopefully soon there will be no need to run windows anymore.
Also, for people running Windows (gotta play warcraft3!) there is this site. The skins work with XP, but if you have 98/2k you can also use them by running Windowblinds. Note that this is commercial software, which is kind of a bummer.
For sure, the stuff IBM is doing is really awesome. I wasn't really disputing that fact. However, you have to admit other companies are doing a lot of things too. The way I look at it, they're strikers on the same team.
I've always wondered why it is that most people on/. seem to love IBM, but bash HP every chance they get. To quote from the article
"Against the backdrop of the W3C's emerging plan to adopt a primarily royalty-free-based patent policy, the royalty-free vs. RAND controversy reached full boil last October when Hewlett-Packard withdrew its support as a sponsor of IBM and Microsoft's W3C WSDL submission on the basis that WSDL might not be royalty-free"
It seems to me that HP supports open standards more than IBM does. And besides, IBM has historically been just as monopolistic as MS ever was. Also, HP & Compaq seem so support Linux as much as IBM does. I'm sure there is a good reason why people here admire IBM but think HPaq is doomed. I'd love to have someone explain it to me.
What the frell? do you have some more info to point to? I'd be quite interested to hear some more, even though it's no longer april 1st. It'd be nice if someone could do the googling for us, i'm to sleepy right now;)
Perhaps something like this should be built into Mozilla. I think it's a pretty cool feature but it will only really work if browsers support it by default. I don't think many people will actually install this, and of course the usefullness of such a tool is small if there isn't a large user base.
I think that Lessig's point that sometimes regulation on communication is a good thing, not so much to regulate what people's ability to communicate, but more corporation's ability to control communication. For example, in his latest book, he points out that AT&T would never have allowed the creation of the Internet had they not been regulated by the government. Similarly, Cable TV would never had existed if the government hadn't specifically created a situation where they were allowed to broadcast.
People will always try to control the way others communicate. The government should regulate this situation to ensure they don't get the power to do that.

I use IE with thee proxomitron. Blocks ads & pop ups. Very nice.
Discussion about Gentoo
Compared with SSX Tricky on the Xbox it does look like a pile of crap.

I don't see the RIAA mentioned at all in that article. Perhaps your link is incorrect?
Well they did kill some civilians
Haven't tried it, but you could try gnuShogi. Another open source version is WinShogi.
I don't think this deal has got anything at all to do with technology. I think the name is the only thing BMG is after.
There are some sample chapters available on the book's website

Is there a way to play DivX files on the PS2 ??? Or MPEG1 files?

You can be a cook ;)
Hmm another funny thing is when you go to Freecode.com, a member of the OSDN network it says "Sponsored By: Microsoft® Visual Studio® .NET".
funny how it's been changed in the title without the update clearly marked

Actually, I find that MSNBC articles relating to Microsoft are not usually biased.
Hopefully we'll be able to counter the effect soon. The tech is there, it just needs to happen
