nix hackage will just wreck your home, which is supposedly all that matters to a home user. Still wrong. Think multiple users for a start.
Huh?!/home !=/home/foo . Of course we could use exploits, but in that case you likely have access to the whole system anyway...
But that's totally wrong when it amounts to time lost. [...] Say my/home was wrecked? All I'd need to do is fdisk the drive and create a new user?
OK, I can give you that one.
Besides, as in unix only exectuable files can be a source of infection, rather than screwed up images and office files, I can safely copy away anything I want.
Wrong! In almost ALL cases where there is direct or indirect control over a system, vulnerabilities are likely. Also, as the siblings point out, please don't confuse the roles of operating systems and applications.
I would like to further stress the vital importance of voting on this one. As Florian says:
Richard Stallman, Tim O'Reilly, Alan Cox, Rasmus Lerdorf and Monty Widenius endorse Florian Mueller's candidacy "because he runs on a NoSoftwarePatents ticket, and that is the message we want to reinforce"
Say what you want about Stallman, but I think it should be clear that this is a very important issue.
Or what about: a Microsoft-sponsored price ending up in the hands of FFII, one of their dearest enemies if we win (RTA)?:-)
On a more formal note, I'm especially concerned as the phrasing of the/. summary may give an impression that things are less urgent than they, in fact, are. (And winning this vote is very important, in order to help things shift direction.)
I am not sure how many votes are going into EV50, but I believe we'd better be on the safe side. The fight for the EV50 votes is not in any way over; for the sake of the future climate in the software business, I think it will be costly for us to miss an opportunity like this.
See for yourself what it is about - from the articles it's clear to me that if you're against software patents, this should be a pretty straightforward vote in every sense. (*)
So please consider things, talk to others and vote! (Remember, everyone is allowed.)
Less than a month remaining, come on guys and gals, a little effort from you - together we're strong!
(*) FINE PRINT:
Some may see a problem with the vote requirements (e.g. mandatory selections); I for one don't (others have explained my reasoning here pretty well).
On a similar note, I often find e.g. the Gentoo Wiki a great resource for solving problems on *other* distros, because of the sheer details and quality often seen on the site.
(There is more to be said here, but the point is still that the Gentoo community (forums, IRC, Wiki etc.) is something for everyone to be proud of.)
Now that's curious, they've already had everything else, in the ranges of RAID700 (~2 years). No matter the system,/. is superior on redundancy! Would make for a great backup system, weren't it for the S/N ratio with log_level=-1.:)
and look for the setting called 'browser.enable_automatic_image_resizing'
In Firefox (1.0.1) it is also present under Preferences -> Advanced -> Browsing.
Granted, the configuration options in FF are not perfect. But please keep in mind the different audiences in consideration. FF seems to be the choice for the masses. Still, oftentimes it takes only an extension to unveal some nice powers. So *by default* it's easy to use, but also easy to extend to a more complex thing. With (the) Mozilla (browser), although a great browser for its purpose, you could scare off many users due to the *by default* more complex UI etc.
Mozilla surely has its place, but I think a non-Mozilla Seamonkey is a better approach in the long run, considering the efforts required. Yes, the timing of cutting of Moz 1.8 appears to be screwed, that is not my table.
We can put tsunami warning systems on every coastline in the world and they wont do us any good when a huge meteor hits the earth.
Fortunately, meteors can't hit us.:) On the other hand that makes a Vogons invasion infinitely more likely to happen in comparison. Quick! Get me some earpl... arrrrrrrrggghhhhhhhhh!!!!
It seems like a Gmail account is required to visit that link. Sorry, didn't realise that. Here's what it says:
Can I access Gmail using plain HTML?
Google believes in helping people quickly and efficiently organize, access, and make better use of information, in both search and email. We are working hard to develop a plain HTML version of our service that supports browsers without JavaScript, as well as browsers using screen readers for the visually impaired.
About the only thing I can really complain about Gmail is that it's so heavily reliant on Javascript. It'd be really nice if it worked through a text-based browser.

Google's TOS doesn't allow multiple accounts.

Wrong! What part of:
Q: "Can I have more than one Google Account?"
A: "Yes,"
don't you understand?

Wrong? Heh, then you're topping OSnews here.

It's dumb. Sorry [CUT]
Agreed, or as you would put it, what the WTF?
Sorry, couldn't resist.
You have to buy their technology. Then you can use it to peer under the text, where the pictures are!
No! The URL is correct indeed. Watch the clip and check out the Google cache.
:-D

Now go and use your favourite distro.
Fair enough.
;)
And a note to GP: that aside, they are in fact talking about Windows Messenger as in the IM client...
RTFA?

Easy as pie - you're missing a [ on the beginning of that row. D'oh!
So I guess Google is branching out into the food business?
Indeed they are.
<gulp!>
Either way, I think 1 M$ is more than enough. ;-)
First that comes to mind is Tape backup. They store huge about of data...
You've got a cold in your fingers or sth? :-)
The RvB PSA on teh topic is particularly appropriate, but I can't find a link to it right now.
Google is your friend!
And, yea - I agree, the clip couldn't be more accurate. :-)
Seems like all your are are belong to us.

That was irony, right? ;) You know: seduced by The Dark Side, Lucas is. :)

There are some things that are true. For everything else, there's Yahoo.
:)
Spelling Nazis, did I spell "Microsoft" right?
Ahem.
"AOHELL" speaks for itself. Nothing to see here, move along. :)

They are working on creating a pure HTML version.
