Dude, class and myth were the user-popular ones. And the other ones mostly went away. Remember razor 1911 shutting down because everyone else was getting busted? There are a few places on usenet you can get stuff, but not much. Large organised videogame piracy groups are a white dwarf, slowly shrinking away. The game makers have wone that one.
I didn't mean that it was necessary for it to be public-service to be unbiased, I meant that that's why it needs to get its funding from the license fee rather than directly from government like museums and things.
It's not unavoidable though, because they were able to avoid it in 2.4. Which, until this decision anyway, I intended to stick with until 3 versions after the release of 2.7, because that's what it takes to stabilise (generally).
I have got various random crashing with every 2.6.x I've tried, as well as one replicable one that's binary-only-driver related. But unloading that driver still leaves me the others. Plus my CD burner won't work because they got rid of ide-scsi emulation (does anyone have a patch to add that back in? If so I might try another 2.6)
Any given 2.6.x.y tree is going to be stopped as soon as 2.6.x+1 comes out. If there's enough spacing between the 2.6.xs it will work, but we could have the same situation as now when there are pretty much no stable 2.6 kernels because there are new features being introduced before all the bugs have been squashed. I think there should be separate maintainers for each 2.6.x.y and they should carry on for as long as it takes until that version is stable.
They thought there was too much back-and-forth, patches for.5 that were accepted to go into the stable tree.4 and then had to be almost completely rewritten.
You know that actually sounds about reasonable. They say 9000 songs total, so that works out just over £5 a song. 5-6x the cost as a bit of compensation is what I would have argued for. Well done, British legal system.
They don't, which is why they don't do that. It's also why the FSF requires contributors to assign copyright. If they didn't, they couldn't go after violators.
Not really - the machines were prepared to do it as a fallback, something which can be disabled if you really want to. No worse than what IE does to hundreds of web servers daily.
The rate will still average the same. What you would need is something that slows your clock by 3 miliseconds an hour this boot, then speeds it up by 6 next time, and so on.
They have to force windows to use different TCP settings, so my guess is this is only useable from the endpoint i.e. the website the person they are tracking is visiting, or by MIM at that site's first hop. Could be useful for finding out how many unique visitors there were to a child porn site, so they would know if they had any more to catch before they moved in on the site itself (ISPs tend to be cooperative in such cases). Or something.
Maybe people are just sharing their experiences. All my problems have gone away. The only way I've crashed my system on oss is using a beta that was marked as such. So that's what I tell people.
Not necessarily, he could just be arguing for more drivers being distributed as separate modules. It's not really doable until the ABI stabilises or linus gives them more support - remember the philips webcam guy's comment about non-in-kernel drivers being very much second-class citizens - but it is a defensible position.
No,:wq was the infataida when we finally liberated ourselves from the great satan, by infiltrating right to it's heart, while simultaneously taking its best features. The badge of:wq belongs rightly to viper mode, and vim.
Cobol fingers? If you've ever coded in a team you will be indenting anyway, python just means you can type most of the language using the normal keys, rather than twisting your fingers round to reach the edge of the keyboard at every turn. (Seriously, how do you type all that punctuation? I suppose the extreme conciseness of perl means there's less typing overall which maybe makes up for it, but still....)
The main reason the BBC isn't funded by government from normal taxation is so that it remains independent and can criticise them. I am very glad they do.
In the UK I am pretty sure the BBC is non-profit, certainly they have no advertising other than for themselves. And they do a lot more educational/informative programs which don't get the ratings, but are probably a greater enrichment to society, because they don't have to worry about competing on ratings. (although they still do to a certain extent). I feel it would be better for them to get their money like museums etc., from central government, but I can see that that would lead to them sucking up to whoever's in office at the time, and I am glad that they don't. They are never afraid to criticise the government, and if this odd tax on televisions is what it takes to ensure that then I support it.
One release is not enough to get all the bugs out of a new feature. You need at least three before you can begin to call it stable. I can see why 2.4/2.5 is considered too long, but 2.6.12 and 2.6.13 isn't enough of a gap. Unless they want to move to lots of use of the fourth number, which I suppose is a possible strategy. 2.6.11 has new features which will be stable by 2.6.12.3. But if they do that there will be too many stable releases, or too many stable releases which aren't actually stable. So I think they need to move to having lots of unstable releases with the same first three version numbers. So we will have 2.6.12.x and 2.6.13.x trees running in parallel like 2.4 and 2.5, but not as separated, maybe 5 or 6 versions under each before moving on to 2.6.14.x and 2.6.15.x. That could work.

Yes it can, if they're being nasty about it. I blame people who insist on bad laws, why not companies?

If I'm wrong, correct me and tell me why. I'm perfectly willing to be convinced if you know why this wouldn't work.
I didn't mean that it was necessary for it to be public-service to be unbiased, I meant that that's why it needs to get its funding from the license fee rather than directly from government like museums and things.
You're joking but you have a point. 2.6.11a, 2.6.11b, 2.6.11c would fit in more with existing projects than 2.6.11.1, 2.6.11.2, 2.6.11.3.
It's not unavoidable though, because they were able to avoid it in 2.4. Which, until this decision anyway, I intended to stick with until 3 versions after the release of 2.7, because that's what it takes to stabilise (generally).

Yeah, except the fines seem a bit excessive. Something like 5x the cost of a cd version would seem reasonable.
They don't, which is why they don't do that. It's also why the FSF requires contributors to assign copyright. If they didn't, they couldn't go after violators.

I can forsee such a time. And I am working on those things to the best of my abilities.

Even better, there's a program that will play music to your AM radio by displaying particular images on your monitor

Yes, definately. And I would switch ISPs if mine did that
