There is no such thing as AGWs. "Global Warming" has now become "Climate Change".
And you can than the previous administration for that. On Frank Luntz's recommendation, they started using the phrase "Climate Change" instead of "Global Warming" to make it sound less frightening.
"Venstre" refers to the party's position on parlamentarism when the party was formed, in 1884. They were for it, Høyre (which means right), was against it. Nowadays, Venstre more of a right-wing party, and will typically collaborate with Høyre (which is a conservative party).
HTML sucks for books. The reason is simple. HTML was designed for web pages. HTML does a fairly good job of covering the things you need when you create a web page (although, why is there no , and a bunch of other stuff that need to be fudged by using elements that don't really fit). In HTML there is no , no , no , no . Also, with HTML, one file == one document. If you're writing a book, it would be nice to be able to for example have one file per chapter and include them all in a master file (assuming you're writing your HTML by hand, of course). That's not possible with HTML.
It would be possible to extend HTML to include such features or to create a HTML-like format that is more suitable for books (cf docbook). I agree that "word processors" today are a horrible mess, and we definately need something like a modernised LaTeX, but HTML isn't it.
VectorSection is meant to be a universal vector file format converter, and it's being sponsored by Xara. I don't know it it's usable yet, but it might be worth taking a look at.
Anyway, I'm sure that the Inkscape folks would be interested in bug reports if there's something wrong with their EPS export. You could also try saving as PDF instead and see if that works better.
Infrared radiation is popularly known as "heat" or perhaps "heat radiation," since many physics teachers traditionally attribute all radiant heating to infrared light. This is wrong, and is a very widespread misconception. Light or electromagnetic waves of any frequency will heat surfaces which absorb it. IR light from the sun only accounts for 50% of the heating of the Earth, the rest is caused by visible light.
Could this replace outlook express using pop/imap? I have very little doubt about it.
I disagree. The Windows port isn't finished yet. It's still pre-alpha software and shouldn't be used by normal users, no matter what their needs are. If you're interested in participating in the development or if you're just curious to see how far they've come, by all means, try it out. However, don't be surprised when you encounter bugs, unfinished stuff or (gasp) lack of polish.
Joe User has now decided that this really isn't an outlook replacement
Someone needs to tell Joe User not to expect an unofficial build of software that isn't even alpha to be able to replace anything. Joe User should wait until Novell actually releases a finished version.
It does seem like every article daria42 submits here att Slashdot or at Digg.com links to zdnet.com.au. It would be nice if (s)he would be a bit more upfront about that, but there's nothing inherently wrong about it. Anyone can submit anything. It's the editors' job to decide which stories get posted.
The Binary Code License Agreement, under which Sun's Java implementations are licensed, only allow you to distribute their software if "[...]you do not distribute additional software intended to replace any component(s) of the Software[...]".
That means that you can't also distribute e.g. gcj or GNU Classpath. The license isn't exactly clear on whether it means that you can't distribute Sun's JRE together with gcj or whether distributing Sun's software means you can't distribute gcj at all -- ever. It's also not clear exactly what they mean by "software intended to replace any component(s) of the Software". In the worst case, that could apply to any software that performs the same function as some part of the JVM, the byte compiler, the class library etc. Does distributing Swing mean you can't distribute GTK?
Yeah, perhaps they could do something really bold, like banning the use of lead in electronics. On second thought, that's not necessary. The magical invisible market forces have already made sure of that. Nobody uses lead-based solder anymore, right?
You know sometimes I wish I could just goto Help -> Check for Updates in Firefox on Linux as easily as I can on MS Windows.
If you're using Ubuntu, Update Manager will take care of the updating for you. You don't even have to ask it to check for updates, it does that automatically and notifies you if there are any updates. Plus, it works the same for all of your software, not just one application.
The US military could never have developed such advanced technology on its own. It's pretty obvious that the Ipod is alien technology planted by alien infiltrators. It's purpose? To damage our hearing so we won't hear when the full-scale invasion comes!
I don't think Apache is the problem here. I might be wrong, but I don't think the Apache license puts any restrictions on the license terms of modules that are loaded into Apache. The problem is that the author of mod_security chose a license (GPL) for it that doesn't allow you to use it for what it was intended for (i.e. being loaded into Apache). The author could easily solve this by changing the license (e.g. adding an explicit exception permiting you to use it with Apache).
Obviously, it's very unlikely that he would sue Debian for distributing mod_security, and even if he did, I don't think he would be likely to win, considering it does seem like his intensions are for mod_security to be used with apache. Nevertheless, the fact is that Debian doesn't have a valid license from the copyright holder to distribute the software, so there's no way they can. The only one who can solve this is the author of mod_security (either that, or if Apache switched to a GPL-compatible license). The situation is pretty much the same as it was with KDE, before Qt was GPLd.
Basically, all of your complaints boil down to: "OMG!!! Debian is subtly different from Red Hat/Fedora. It's completely unusable!!"
pam_console (and therefore/etc/security/console.perms) is Red Hat specific and isn't in Debian because of security issues (apparently; I don't know/care about the specifics).
If you need/etc/ld.so.conf, uhm well, why not just create it?
It seems that the concurrence Microsoft Corp. is facing[...]
Competition, the word you're looking for is competition. It's a common false friend for many languages.
Anyway, it should also be noted that there is no Lotus Notes client for Linux (although the Windows version supposedly runs in Wine), so I'm assuming the campaign will be all about switching the servers.
Firefox already includes a database, mork, which is used for e.g. storing history. The problem with mork is that it's a completely braindead format (it's text based, but definately not human readable), it's practically unmaintained and it's almost imposible for third party programs to read.
So, this will make all the data that Firefox stores accesable to others, and hopefully all the mork-related bugs will just disapear.
Yeah it's handy because you don't need to su and remember TWO really strong passwords, but that's the great part of needing to su. It really makes you think about what you're doing before you do it.
And this is different from needing to sudo how? In what way does su make you think but not sudo?
So say you're at your buddies house who happens to run Ubuntu. He goes to the bathroom or something... you quickly reboot, boot up in single user mode (very easy to do with GRUB), set a password on the root account, reboot back into multi user mode.

Hypotheses. FTFY.
(Firefox, assuming middlemouse.contentLoadURL is set to true)
Step 1: Triple click to highlight
Step 2: Middle click to load URL from primary selection.
Step 3: There is no step 3.
Ah, you mean the Norwegian Blue? I don't know. Looks dead to me. Of course, 'e might just be resting. Beautiful plumage, though.
So, you don't wan't a pico near your pico? Me neither...

Other distros have similar things.
At least, that's my theory.

What kind of problems did you have with GCC4?
There are also a lot of other Free Software projects that deal with music practice and education.
