It is just a word document converted to PDF. Forget what one random guy says look at what they do. They have made three revisions of their Linux Internet tablets and in the process put a rocket under GNOME Mobile libraries, that is quite a commitment to open source software.
Now I am hoping that Maemo will be a first step towards replacing that monstrosity that is Symbian with Linux.
This document has a number of grammatical errors and parts that seem unclear, so I am wondering whether it has just been translated badly? I can imagine that it was originally written by an engineer in Finnish or Swedish then translated by someone rather further down the food chain.
Or the guy is just a nut and has no idea of what he is talking about, you pay your money, you make your choice!
I would use both. The Open Source stuff is not too bad and increasingly used. Having one (painful) session with the old stuff will mean they will not be shocked when they are face to face with it in the workplace.
I can't believe that. I am a licence payer and visit the BBC website everyday on Linux. I'm sure their proprietary webstats package is just ignoring Linux. He didn't give the number of 'others'.
It is pretty sad that this law is even needed (researching, critiquing and reporting should never ever not be allowed), but it is passes then it will reduce some of the madness.
Strange how little cats and dogs are protected on TV, but our little six-legged friends, well 200 can merrily risk their little lives in the name of pseudoscience television.

Of course it does. Anything from LaTeX, through to simple SGML-like markup through to reStructuredText. There are lots of ways to put them in the text.
But as the last poster pointed out, the easier way is to just apply the formatting at the end.
>What makes you think every American deserves such things, especially healthcare?
As a European I would argue in terms of a human right to healthcare.
However, accepting your point for a moment, that some people 'deserve' and some don't deserve healthcare, on what basis would you make such a decisions? Merely on the ability to pay seems a bit inefficient. After all, there must be a normal distribution of diggheads within the rich, and they are getting healthcare.

Well if anyone is looking for an alternate upgrade path, I 'upgraded' my blog from Wordpress 2.2 to Pyblosxom and am really enjoying using it: - its really light and fast - I can edit posts in a text editor rather than a web based interface - its in Python and very easy to customise - theming far simpler, just rip your HTML template into a header and footer, rather than having to make 12 files with Wordpress.
Not a source but the Wikipedia seems to imply that he is a swedish speaking Finn, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linus_Torvalds but going by grandparents alone is a bit dodgy.
His first name happens to be Swedish derived, but as far as I can tell he is a Finnish-speaking Finn, the fact that he went to Helsinki Uni rather than to Abo or some other Swedish speaking Uni probably underlines that. Unless anyone has a source that proves otherwise?

Well all good software has silly names, what's your problem?
As long as it is not this or this one.

Exactly, just remove the word blog and call it a website.

I also do PDF quite bit, it also makes you look a bit more professional, as PDFs have a nice snobby image.

Start with Phone unlocking, then maybe abolish software patents, then you could even think about giving healthcare to every American...
I wonder if it has any GPL3 software, if I remember correctly, GPL3 mentions about screens specifically as a place to put the credit.
To be honest I am not interested in the software, the question is whether the Motherboard can be reflashed with my own choice of mini-distro.
Good point, that man. The first thing a Windows skype user will do is say, where is the video? My Webcam doesn't work...
For those of US in the UK, let's campaign to copy them in this law, we could adopt their policy on the Monarchy too, we better get sharpening... ;)
Are we sure that local representatives or local shills of a certain American US vendor did not ring up and say "we don't like this guy"?
... but it turns out to be some pricing details.
Nothing to see here, move right along.
True in part because you also have to use Windows to use the SDK.
No SDK for Linux and if you hack it to work on Linux via Wine then you break the terms of the licence.
Apologies for the plug but I was just moaning about this today.

Yup I just had a fish through, and ALT Linux seems to be a Redhat recompile in the style of CentOS with some extra Russian documentation etc.
