There's a flaw in your logic. The crappy houses that were built 100 years ago no longer stand. Of course, every house built 100 years ago that you see today was built well. That doesn't mean that every house built 100 years ago was built well.
That only works if the kernel configuration you have matches your installed kernel, which is never the case unless you've compiled your own kernel. Go ahead, try it. Install the kernel source code from your distribution's CD-ROM, and then build the kernel without changing any options. The kernel you get will NOT match the kernel you have installed.
This is because Linux users are not willing to pay people to make installable packages. The developer has no incentive because he isn't being paid for his work, and he has no problem installing and using his own software. And because everything is GPL, even if someone were to create an installation package of some software and sell it, his first customer will upload it to some FTP site and everyone else will download it from there.
Until people start paying developers to make their Linux software, this problem will never be solved.
OS/2 was released in 1987, but it was already in development for years before then. So OS/2 is at least 4 years older than Linux.
OS/2 is still being developed, updated, supported, and marketed, which means it has survived longer than Linux as well. OS/2 also has its own version of Wine - it's called Odin. I don't think it runs Photoshop, though.
Isn't this one a copyright violation? I don't think that image of Albert Einstein is in the public domain. If Slashdot were to distribute t-shirts with that image on it, I think they would be violating the artist's copyright.
I heard that the Metro rail system in Washington, D.C. was supposed to be fully automated, but then they hired "drivers" because the public refused to ride the metro unless there was a person in control.
What tyranny? File sharers (i.e. those that share music to which they don't own the copyright) are breaking the law, and the copyrights owners are filing lawsuits. There's nothing wrong with that all.
People who share their CD collections online know that they're breaking the law, they just think they'll get away with it. They're no different than people who drive over the speed limit.
No, it would not. Your license begins and ends with the physical CD that you purchased. It's really quite simple - you cannot download a copyrighted song (unless the copyright owner has given you specific permission to download that song from wherever you are downloading it, but let's assume that that is not the case). It doesn't matter if you used to own the CD, or even if you currently own it. If you want an MP3 of the songs on your CD, then you have to make it yourself, not download a MP3 of someone else's CD.
FYI, when I said, "You can burn a copy of his CD, but not yours", what I meant is that you can make a backup of his CD for him. In other words, he can give you his CD, you can make a copy of it, and then you have to give him back both the original and the copy. The original and the copy must always belong to the same person.

Yeah, but who's going to pay for a non-GPL installer for a GPL program?

It didn't work for OS/2, why would it work for Linux?

This is getting off-topic, but if you want to compare prices, then go to http://www.allbookstores.com/search_advanced.
Apparently, you're not doing well in English class, either.
This metaphor is flawed. Recipes cannot be copyrighted, but source code can be.
Galactica 1980 is not the 2nd season of BG.
Get the demo here. The specs say that you need a 450MHz CPU minimum. I have a G4/400 with an ATI Radeon 8500, and the demo runs fast enough.
More taxes and paperwork.
Actually, you would be.

Could I use this book to learn how to write software for the Samsung N400?
No.
Can I claim fair use if I own the CD?No.
Can I counter sue?No.

FYI, "Kartoffel" is German for potato.
However, this Willow can sit on my lap.
Since OO on OS X uses the X Window interface, not the Aqua interface, I seriously doubt it's scriptable.
