Hello... a KDE announcement on Slashdot? Cooool!!;)
Now that we've been politically correct for a little bit, let's go back to Gnome reporting.
Unfortunately you were not being politically correct, the proper etiquette dictates "Kooool!!", as it is well know that the letter "c" has become redundant and evil.
This is a patent covering backing up preferences on a remote server so that someone can safely upgrade their OS or move computers.
Please not that it says "Information" not preferences. I the full text things like passwords and bookmarks are mentioned. I am not certain what this means - except from the obvious: another fscked up patent:(
The coolness that was star wars, has been utterly ruined by episode 1+2. What should make 3 any better ? I predict lots of sabres, a romance or two, a script that have been lifted from a dutch porn movie, and acting worse than on the dutch porn flick.
"...are 'too' perfect, and still (sort-of) detectable when looking at earth-mined stones.."
Yes, that is true. But if you read on (I belive it is on page 5), you'll see the following quote:
"De Beers?" he says. "Nobody cares if it's from De Beers. My clients just want a nice diamond."
On a personal level, I just feel good knowing that DeBeers are going to get screwed - lord knows they have asked people to bend over for the last 100 years./Rumagent
I too like Eclipse. But if you think it is the best ide for java, you haven't tried IntelliJ. At present , it is way ahead of anything else I have tried... Not that eclipse is bad - IntelliJ is simply better.
"You don't have to build it," Ferrell said. "You just have to conceive it. By filing a couple of patents, you essentially have co-opted the standards road map. Anybody who wants to go from G to X has to get through your toll road."
This waste of egg and sperm should be hogtied and sodomized with a hardcover edition of the law he is so fond of exploiting.
And to think that the EU is working to adopt a more US-like patent system:( The only thing more lame than these pricks are the politicians who are trying to get this mess into Europe.
ahh... it felt good to rage a little... won't do any good, but still...
Ok, this may be considered flamebait but here goes.
Are slashdotters senior citizens or what? The more primitive the better. I swear the next post will be by some old geezer, going on and on about his first wm was comprised entirely of two sockpuppets and a slice of cheese.
Their I have said it. Now tell how little respect the younger generation has....
"If there's a way of resolving this that is positive, then we can get back out to business and everybody is good to go, then I'm fine with that," McBride said today in an interview with Computerworld. "If that's one of the outcomes of this, then so be it."
A positive outcome of this would be the complete and utter bankrupt of SCO. It would be shame if that kind of shitty behavior is rewarded.
If I belived in hell I would wish them there... On the other hand, they would probably be thrown a "welcome back" party.
I can only speak for Denmark. But there was minimal support for the war in the population. That the danish goverment joined the coalition of the willing (should really be the reluctant) was and still is a issue of great controversy. The fact that there isn't any weapons of mass destruction only makes things worse. There is a growing feeling of being tricked into war by a less-than-honest american administration.

Simple, they sucked.
...no I am not bitter.
The acting rarely rise above that seen in a dutch pr0n flick, the story would be better had they stolen the script from said pr0n flick.
SW used to be an icon, a benchmark for all scifi. Now it is product, wrapped, sold, consumed and fed back into the sewer whence it came.
We'll live longer if we don't eat, drink, smoke, fuck and so on...

But what is the point of having life if you don't live it? Boring people may live longer, but they live less.

"It is not too late! Call your local MS dealer now, and get windows today"
... and I am not even going to touch the sco-stuff:)
More like "Let us make sure that projects like Freenet, gets a lot of support"
And for the many users of Mandrake, MPlayer with the proper codecs (and many other good programs) are available as rpms at PLF
Because business is about making money and thus everything in business will ultimately be wearing a pricetag.
The fact that you find this frustrating, just goes to show that you haven't turned into a soulless suit yet - so rejoice;)
Forget about games. This could usher in a new golden era of pr0n.

When we can steal it all from SCO...

Decaf is like masturbation. When it is all you have it is ok. But, man you would die for the real thing!
Don't laugh. Just like me you are reading slashdot. You know what I am talking about;)

Well, socks may have been overstating the facts really. It was more like two pices of string, and the cheese was stale...
But we loved it, and it was the best damn wm that ever existed!

SCO is so gonna get it...

You mean liberated of course.
ahh busted... Oh well can't win 'em all:)
Yeah, thats right... You people are gonna pay!
I totally agree... Not to mention that the majority of the population were againgst the (as things are now, illegal) war.
