Difference here is that KDE and Xorg have commercial backings (Trolltech in part for KDE, Red Hat and Novell are two of the big guys when it comes Linux-related (and the Linux kernel itself) software).
Welcome to 2006; there are no remaining [valid] patents defending GIF. The entire format is unencumbered by all legal standards. Nothing to see here, move along.
99.99% seems far too high a number; I'd predict it to be about 80% of iTMS users who don't know or aren't affected by the DRM. Everyone else is because either they know about DRM, or they have something other than an iPod, or maybe they use a real OS other than OSX (Windows not included).
Another agreement to go with Sennheiser. The iRiver comes with Sennheiser earbuds (not too sure on their exact model), and they are surprisingly good quality.
Probably because they don't noise cancel and the sound coming from the headphones sounds hollow as if it were coming from a can. Nothing to worry about, but audiophiles tend to make a big deal about things like that regardless of the listening situation; I know I normally would, but I'm at least more sympathetic to the situation at hand.
Ah, but $50 for a base-level hard-drive is way more expensive than a stack of free AOL CDs from Blockbuster or even a spindle of CD-Rs from Walmart or something.
That's right (regarding the GPL). The GPL guarantees that the code will remain free to be run, copied, distributed, studied, changed and improved (quoth the definition of free software). It is perfectly alright to charge for the software, but the buyers don't have to pay royalties or anything if they decide to resell it or otherwise redistribute as they see fit.
He's just being anal like many of us normally do about using the term "property" to refer to the abstract concept of thought, algorithms, and other ideas.
That's all done via DRM; some magic hocus-pocus to arbitrarily enforce an artificial scarcity to an unlimited resource. That's both the beauty and somehow flawed aspect of digitalisation: everything can be copied limitlessly, and no amount of artificial protection can prevent that. Pandora's Box has been open, and the copyright owners are pissed.
Eclipse is absolutely fantastic, but I don't think there are any.Net plugins for it right now. It does, however, have ones for Java (the main one of course), C/C++, PHP, COBOL, UML, SQL/DBA, and all those other fun IDE tools like GEF, EMF, and whatnot.
Something tells me that C#.Net isn't the only thing you'd be programming with if you were to get a job using.Net; apparently the whole.Net suite was made to work seamlessly with each other.
But you're fucked either way because it's rare you'll find a good programmer who knows two shits about how XHTML/CSS is supposed to be used (and not abused). If you do, you'll probably end up paying out the ass as well...:/
Have you tried Konqueror? I'm a Firefox user myself, but Konqueror definitely offers some of the best features and speediness you'll ever get from a web browser. Don't forget that it's Free!

SELinux was created by the NSA primarily, so one would probably assume it was suitable for this B2 crap as well...
Troll? Do the mods realise that there are only 744 hours in a normal month? The parent is joking...

I thought C++ programs by default were CLI (as opposed to GUI).

Hey, I'm a teenager who wants Free software and its corresponding source code, insensitive clod!
Someone at GNU either made or approved of the baby GNU images, so I doubt it's a stab.

$300? Bose? Of course I'm not surprised. Bose usually makes high quality and thusly expensive audio gear.

Next thing you know there will be a fee for posting on Slashdot to reduce the spam.
:P
I don't think CmdrTaco, Zonk, and ScuttleMonkey have enough money to pay for all the collective dupes they post...

I'm pretty sure that "xXx" or "XXX" in general only applies as a trademark for a movie. That's how trademark works as far as I have been told.

Better yet, give it a GUID! We have plenty left to go around for a long time! Let's use some a little bit faster.
Kyzis does that too (similar to Vim but with new goals and whatnot).
