Maybe a good solution to the copyright problem that you hinted at there is to not allow corporations/organisations/whatever to own a copyright on something. Only the original creator(s) of the work should get a copyright. Sure, people could license their copyrights to their company/whatever in a style similar to the Creative Commons Attribution license, but if an unspecific group of people were unable to own a copyright, the problems would slowly fix themselves.
Red Hat is one of the companies that employs several open source developers. Novell and OSTG are a couple other good examples. Without them, we'd be in an age where open source development would be really financially improbable.
Hans Reiser's Namesys already does that. Check out reiserfs for something tried and true, or check out reiser4 for a new outlook on filesystems and better performance.
Exactly how I feel! I've grown accustomed to having good vertical space usage with minimal scrolling to read the content. All those vBulletin/phpBB/whatever boards that cram a shitton of useless information in one column with another 400px column for the actual content really do look awful. I've got a fat pipe, so I'd like to get the information all at once in a nice format, thank you. I don't have a wide screen monitor so that I can see your 800px layout like almost all Ajax-based sites seem to sport.
Now who would do that when you could just use the user 'pma' with the default blank password and save yourself the hassle of granting privileges whenever you create a new database that requires a new user? Of course, phpMyAdmin is required to get pma inserted by default, but that's a cinch to install as well.;)
I'm slightly surprised by the enormous amount of progress WINE has made in comparison to how much time Microsoft has put into Windows since day one, but that's free software development at its best for you.
I've been using Paid-Professional Lawyer for quite a few years now; I'm pleased with the results and lack of necessary work to say the least. Not all lawyers are asshats, remember that.:)
How is "Microsoft Windows" or "Mac OS X" any better? Brand recognition is kinda important, and generic names generally end up doing the opposite of what you want.
I guess I could say the same for myself because I only find a Gna.org profile, a Wikipedia profile, and a few posts on public mailing lists (e.g. debian-kde, kopete, synaptic).
Bender gets a firmware upgrade that includes DRM which can't be uninstalled without breaking the law... ie: circumventing DRM laws
They already dealt with that in the third to last episode: S05E14 - Obsoletely Fabulous. Mom corp released new robots to obsolete the old ones, and the old ones had to go get an "upgrade" if they wanted to continue to be used. Go watch it if you haven't in a while.
And yes, it took me about 15 minutes to find the right episode, but I got it!

I'm guessing that's because all the humour and stories were basically created by only a few people, and they all came back to make more Family Guy together. That, and Adult Swim still gets the new episodes, so it won't really die due to Fox's idiocy.
First you need to get Adult Swim on Cartoon Network to adopt the show. Then, after a hilarious couple of years running there along with massive DVD sales, I'm pretty sure any show can make a come back if it's funny enough.
I just remember that Firefox and Konqueror have a lot of the same keyboard shortcuts (C-W: close tab/window; C-T: new tab; C-U: view source; C-I: page information; C-F: bookmark; all the other standard C-X/C-C/C-V/C-Z/C-Y editting).
I was waiting for this article to go live so I could post that!:(
Slash has X-Fry and X-Bender headers it sends on every page (randomised). Press Ctrl+I to see that in Firefox, Konqueror, or pretty much any web browser.
Slashcode.com also uses those quotes in its random quote of the moment thinger at the bottom of the page.

Out of curiosity, how many people have been killed by music pirates?
Funny story actually...

Wait, is there even $45000000000000 worth of anything in existence on this planet?

Just imagine if your company buys Oracle licenses in bulk. :O
A difference between 99.9999% uptime and 99.9% uptime can add up quickly if you have a lot of users at any given time.
Here's hoping to a WinBSD or GNU/Windows or something...
Aren't they the ones who DRM the files in the first place? I'd imagine they just use variations of MPEG4 standards.
Dude, you pretty much described what sudo does...
I don't know how, but I'm sure you can change your sudo password to something else.
Mozilla's making money in the millions from Google. Slashdot had an article about that a little while ago.

You could do it the old-school way and just add an assload of ad server hosts to your hosts file; works with all networked programs.
Would this girl happen to work for Phil Flash? (here's hoping)

I was wondering how they managed to make so many subtle jokes that remained factually accurate. "No fair! You changed the outcome by measuring it!"
