I think it may allow redistributing as part of your product, or for a royalty each time. It's quite possible that there is no way to redistribute it other than the GPL, but since mysql does sell licenses I thought it was worth mentioning.
MS only produced it because they had to, and won't spend anything marketing it. Therefore the only way it could succeed would be on it's merits - but wait, it's windows, no way it could ever do that. So it's no surprise it fails.
Dark City is an awesome proper science fiction movie. (IMO of course). I think Minority Report was more an action film, if you're going to include that then I want Equilibrium (awesome action film with the plot lifted from Fahrenheit 451), I, Robot, and Demolition Man.
Other mapping sites manage fine with standard stuff. I don't know if google's doing something more advanced, from my point of view google maps is definitely less advanced because all it shows me is a blank page.
Yes, and no. It has text mode but also supports graphical mode, either with the console via svgalib or directfb or in X. No flash or java, but text, images and most javascript work fine.
(To be fair, Charles Samuels was very helpful when I was actually writing something, but the replies to feature requests for other programs are often less so)
It's such a pain to only have to download and open one file. Getting two separate parts, and having to switch between them, is obviously so much more convenient
I'm using Konqueror, and frankly don't care how popular it is. It is (mostly, no browser is completely) standards-compliant, and does what I want (lightweight, integrates with my desktop environment)
Google isn't coding to standards. That's shown by the fact that they introduced support for opera and safari separately when they were already supporting mozilla/netscape. They're using various nonstandard extensions, different ones for the different browsers they support.
After the enormous improvements that were the MS extensions to Java, I'm sure this will be a great extension that will benefit everyone involved, and act to reduce lock-in. What wonderful people MS are, improving things for everyone.
The great advantage of the moon is that it's a lot easier to get home if something goes wrong. You'll only need a delta-v of about 3 km/s to put you into earth orbit, at which point you can aerobrake or dock with a space station or something. From the martian surface you'd need (pulling a number out of my ass) maybe 10km/s, making your evacuation module much bigger and so heavier to take to mars.
Why not? I've got about six boxes of tea in my cupboard from various sources with little idea what each is like without trying them. It'd be nice to have my tray applet suggest what might be suitable.
Just out of interest, what are these childish reasons? If it's not wanting to depend on libquicktime I can understand it since it's quite a big library, the best thing to do would be to have the configure script detect it and compile or not compile m4a support as appropriate.
I'd be surprised if it ran linux. Linux relies on a MMU, ask an apple ][ for that and it'll laugh at you, and though uClinux has done something about that I don't think it's minimal enough yet. Besides, part of the fun of hardware like that is that you're really coding on the bare metal. Is there even a C compiler?
Stuff that. Google maps doesn't work in my browser, so the benefit I see from it is, if anything, negative (because it discourages people from working on good map pages)
Wikipedia in your media player is one of the things you don't notice you were missing until you have it, after which it's indispensible. I hope other projects start to take advantage of the bindings, hopefully not just within KDE but elsewhere as well. This should benefit everyone.
I load up my last.fm recommendations in another browser tab. It's a very long list, so I like to look at other pages while the script queries the database, works out which album cover pictures I need, and downloads them all. I'm sure there are other things like this that would be messed up by your idea.
You should do it because it's a better browser overall. Obviously it's up to you to decide if you feel it's better by enough to make it worth the adverts, but I do.

Huh? What's that supposed to mean? I dislike gnome, but if you read my journal you'll see I tried it, repeatedly in fact.

SCO has never claimed the MPL is invalid
You sure that's not "SOS"?
Beagle is one program on its own. Having a standard API and a whole desktop adopting it is more significant.

MySQL's policy is they only give you the non-gpl-licensed version if you pay them for it.
Any reason this is in apache? (apache is one of the programs, but wouldn't unix or YRO make more sense?) The colour scheme here makes IT look good.
I know there was never much doubt, but IIRC one of SCO's arguments was that the GPL was invalid.

I'm sure KDE's competitors at Gnome will rush to collaborate with Google in response, given how their name starts
