I'd like to point out that picture id's are silly. How do you decide whether the person in front of you is the person on the card's picture?
I worked as an election judge in Colorado and they explicitly told us not to bother looking at the photo on the id. The law specified it had to be a photo id, but we were told not to care what the picture on it looks like. People change, you can't recognize them reliably.
What prevents someone from fraudulently opening a PayPal account for you and using it on your behalf? The system has problems, and there are no simple fixes.
Perhaps everyone should be required to carry a card with an RSA key on it, if you lose it you create a revocation certificate and get a new one. Doesn't that sound like fun? I'm sure grandma will love it.
That article includes the question/answer:
- Does that mean Fedora Core 4 will ship with a pre-release compiler?
We're not *that* crazy. If GCC 4.0 is delayed, we will either revert, or slip.
Funny, perhaps its because I know linux a whole lot better than windows. However, I set up a printer in about a minute on my linux box. When my friend needed to print to the same printer from windows xp (network printer) I was unable to configure the computer in such a way that it found the printer. After half an hour I gave up and told him to go print from the lab.
Perhaps easier is simply what you're used to, but I definitely found CUPS easier than add-printer under windows.
In my opinion LSB is sort of a super-distro. By this I mean that it tries to dictate what distributions should include, at least the basic components.
Personally, I see this as an insult to the distributions. The distributions should have control of what goes into the distro (and they do). Mainly they want the same things inside as LSB wants inside, so there's no problem. On the other hand if there is a disagreement, no one really cares about LSB.
The solution to the problem is repositories. In this realm, distributions rule; LSB has no place.
It's really not that interesting. Go look at the pretty pictures on the site, that's what I did, even though I read German.:)
And on that point. Is anyone else bothered by the fact that "neat" warping and transparency effects are being applied to windows and those same windows don't have a correct looking see-through rounded corner?!
because we don't want the next server version to be the old desktop version. Not to mention the development strategy has changed since 2.4. No more odd numbered Kernels, at least not with the same meaning.
Ultimately, that means your proposal would create two different linuxes with two different agendas.
I know, I know, I shouldn't complain....it just seems like such a waste.
if the GPL is more restrictive it would have been nice to have a conversion clause or something. Though even if that was legally possible, it might still be a strategically bad move for Sun, since code could not go back once it was converted to GPL.

reduced from 100% ?

Congratulations to Tridge.
Sounds like everyone was within their rights. Which means disagreement is simply the by product of everyone being human.
Downloaded it, read the license, erased it.
:)
Perhaps I should have wasted his bandwidth another week.
Fedora Core 4 has literally been waiting for this.

How many versions of BSD are we at?
I just wish it was GPL compatible.

Sigh...such a waste.
