On B) I think they're just going for the largest market. Take a random sample of cars with upgraded sound systems - actually, better, have it weighted towards the demographics of people who are buying phones - and see how many are going for a higher quality setup compared to those making it as loud as possible.
It's a secret that it's the best. It's only really fast because few people use it. I think they assume that transfers all the way from sweden would be slower, and also the layout isn't quite like most ftp sites so people ignore it. It won't stay the fastest if the slashdot horde gets its hands on it, that's for sure.
Wasn't the feeling I got at all. With linux and to a lesser extent windows they're still trying to get the GUI working properly without the command line. (try working without a terminal for a week or so. In linux you just can't. In NT series windows it's about doable. But they still feel unfinished, for other reasons - the firewall and antispyware they're frantically chucking in, the changing of visual styles that suggests they're still not settled (I can't bring myself to believe they will stick with the luna theme in its current state for the next OS)) With OSX it's the opposite problem, the commandline doesn't really work properly with the GUI. (They only recently got cp working properly). With OS/2 the two actually work reasonably well, and you can be happy with either, wheras BeOS deliberately doesn't use a commandline in a big way (like pre-OSX mac I suppose, I never used them though) as part of its geting rid of cruft policy.
It's not like gnutella had a big corporation in charge of it. In fact, it's even less under anyone's control than bittorrent. (which has its protocol near-completely controlled by Bram, and as far as I can see only his and Azureus as really popular clients).
But you claim your intervention shows you were not a bully. Which it doesn't, because self-interest would be enough reason for a bully to do it. Self interest doesn't necessarily show the US is a bully, but it means the intervention doesn't prove the US isn't a bully.
I think we're more against lies. If you say it's clearly because of the people's rights and that's why you're invading we might support you. If you make up something about weapons of mass destruction (ok china actually has them, so you wouldn't be making that up, but something along those lines) we won't.
The GPL already says you may not distribute it at all unless it can be redistributed under GPL and used freely. If a patent prevents that, you're not allowed to distribute GPL software in countries where it's valid.
So? You just have to have the cgi script do what you want to (transfer $1000 to a numbered swiss account or whatever) automatically within the 20 minutes.
There's all sorts of conspiracy ideas, certainly the ship doesn't look to have been as innocent as was publicly claimed. It took an unusual route that almost seems as if it was trying to goad the sub into sinking her. A suggestion I've heard is it was overplayed to the public to give a plausible reason for American intervention when they wanted to keep the real one (the zimmerman telegram) secret (since they didn't want the Germans switching to stronger ciphers).
The tank itself is a military target, but the people making it aren't. Possibly I'm being overly strict, but if you say the factory's a military target then the people mining the metal used, the people growing food to feed everyone, and pretty soon the high school students are military targets. I say if you're not military - for example, if you wouldn't be a POW when captured (ignoring violations of the rules of war) - then you're civilian.
I don't say it was 100% one thing, but the post I was replying to seemed to think South Korea proved the US didn't just act out of self interest. It doesn't, because self interest was plenty of reason to intervene.
KDE believes in choice, so I don't think it will happen. You never see KDE making a change without giving an option for it. At the worst they'll change the defaults to something insane like spatial file manager, tiny cramped open dialog and reversed yes/no dialog, but if you keep your ~/.kde it will stay the way it was. (I hope)
How about a compile against winelib? Then people could port bits of it to "native" linux if they wanted to, and even if no-one bothered it would be a bit easier to play under linux than just wine.
Slashdot Mirror
Google image search, duh!
No, it was Nokia. The project seemed overhyped and never really amounted to anything, perhaps they found the mozilla code too hard to work with?

Shut UP! DO NOT tell slashdot about ftp.sunet.se!!!
Plenty of people who are posting about their work use AC. Sure you can be psuedonymous, but with enough posts who you are shows through.
By having a ratio. Anyone can edit, and anyone can be made an admin. So the ratio of admins/users remains pretty constant.

from what is becoming googledot more and more every day. How much did they pay for this one taco?
Can't speak for AmigaOS, but both BeOS and OS/2 feel far more complete than windows, linux, or OSX.

But given that Vermont is banning visible underwear, how long will we keep it?
How long until a bill passes saying you only get copyright on your work if you're a member of the appropriate conglomerate (MPAA, RIAA etc.)?

Nope. Civilians are never legitimate military targets. Never.

Like they said, as a PDA. Compare the price of a DS and iPaq
You're new here, aren't you?
