This is quite an interesting set of pictures; quite some beautiful bits of microscopy. My compliments to all the scientists out there bored enough/interested enough to work on and with scanning tunneling microscopes.
That's nice, except that blocking encrypted protocols blocks quite a bit more than BitTorrent. . . Secure banking over SSL, SSH, VPNs, and a whole plethora of other protocols. Unless an ISP is willing to go from Internet Service Provider to Web Browsing Service Provider, it would be foolish to block encrypted protocols.
Upload it somewhere. Share it with the world, as is your right. I've really been trying to find any copy of this, just for the sake of it. . . Actually, could you hand me a binary, so I can request source code from him?;)
If Bush is the most pro-freedom leader of any industrialised country today, then something is horrendously, outstandingly screwed up with the whole lot. Bush is no more pro-freedom than a gun held to your head is in your defense. . . If what you say is true, then surely that means that the other nations have rocket launchers or something, instead.
Frankly, I must disagree with your premise that Bush is in any way supportive of freedom. Moreover, if the rest of the heads of state are in any way similar, armed revolt is the only sensible option left to those who value their inalienable rights.
The next version of the LGPL is, in fact, the GPLv3. The GPLv3 has a specific clause stating that one may grant additional rights to those specified in the license, and a handful of additional restrictions. The LGPL will just be implemented as "This is under the GPLv3. Additionally, one may link to this code from any program, even if it's license isn't compatible with the GPLv3."
Also, about your worries about patents: The GPLv3 only states that, if your code uses a patent you have or can give a license to others, you need to grant a license to anyone who receives the program. This only serves to prevent a company from patenting something, and then releasing some GPL code using the patent, so that the code is no longer free.
Finally, your issues with the DRM clause. This clause isn't written in such a way that a developer must release their private keys used for signing code. This clause only applies when one needs a key to even run the program at all (so, it would only stop initiatives like Trusted Computing).
As has been said before, Firefox 1.0 is using an older version of Gecko (GRE from 1.7) than Mozilla 1.8. The newer version of GRE is much faster. I believe that the nightly builds are faster than Mozilla 1.8...
At least the name here is a technical description of the technology: Television over the Internet Protocol. First time Microsoft's done something like that in a while, I think.;-)
One could argue that I am a member of that generation......... Although I did self-teach myself some BASIC variants at age 8, which I suppose disqualifies me from making any comments on this....... Although it does seem to me that my peers who merely learn computers as a High-School class are about as clued as, say, the below-average AOL user, since they can almost string together two functions together in the same program. Only one thing worse then these, though, are the Web Design students. Frontpage 5.0 doesn't make very good webpages.......... This message brought to you from a hacker (as per the New Hacker's Dictionary) in High School.
Yes, but if copyright law is not enforced, companies such as Microsoft would quite likely start enforcing even more draconian digital restrictions managment measures upon the software distributed, so we would in effect have almost the same economy. A way to solve this would be to also make digital restrictions managment illegal. Of course, the odds of either such law getting passed through any modern beauracracy is slim to none.....
Yes, but these are things like panic.c, which have proven themselves to do quite well without any modification. panic.c was last modified, in the main kernel branch, in 1993. There are many pieces of code like that which do not need updating in the kernel.

It ceases to be "just a fine" when the fine in question is several year's income.

I hope this clarifies a few things for you.
RTFA? This is Slashdot. Why are you suggesting I RTFA before mindlessly posting a comment like that?

Opera's not the second; that title belongs to Konqueror.
I for one, think the US doesn't need to release any more information.
In response, I have to say this: GPG goes over AIM very well. ;-)
From memory...
I fail to see how "if UID = * then sleep 100" is more complex then /etc/passwd...
I recommend not throwing the name "anti-social dickweeds" around, seeing as how most of on here are the "anti-social dickweeds" that you speak of. ;-)
I don't think some scientists will be happy with having to rewrite the laws of physics yet again as a result of this...

And you are infringing on my patents on coherent thought, language, and existing.

Well, IIRC, Trek has been moved into the same timeslot as Battlestar Galactica............

If you need to do that, just install This
You say this almost as though almost anyone on here could, at a moment's notice, give a script of that entire scene.

Should I interpret this as "European Software Patents 'Not Dead Yet'"?
