I have criticized the EU gov't for a long time already because it is an overreaching, overregulating piece of bureaucratic uselessness. This is the final straw.
Go on, restrict free speech a bit more, not that it matters by now. I'll download everything from respectful countries if need be. My country will probably be first in line supporting this idiotic idea, seeing as a liberal gov't official was recently quoted advocating the ban of Rule of Rose and this gov't is oh so keen on "protecting" me...
I don't think Public Domain is a "license", otherwise I would have used that as an example rather than BSD... But I don't know much about the internals of USA's copyright law and maybe PD actually *is* a license in which case you are right.
Tivo [...] is a novel form of theft that made GPL V2 meaningless. Wow, so stealing music is *not* theft while stealing Linux *is*. Talk about double standards...
it's Orwellian to declare that regulating voluntary choices is "freedom" Well said. If only freedom fighters and activists would understand this! Forcing freedom is a self-contradicting idea.
some cheese with that whine?
Cry me a fscking river you hypocrite - when you start paying me like a lawyer or a doctor and ask for an appointment before barging into my office because YOU luser broke something, that's when I'll start treating you with the respect you expect from professionals.
Until then, you get a hearty RTFM + STFU, n00b.
Duh, I meant that feature of KDE that is equivalent to the autorun folder in Windows' start menu. And the user does not need to be compromised - have you never written a buggy script or something that went berserk on your system? Crappy utilities are usually very buggy - *if* they existed for Linux they'd be a problem there, too.
PP was saying that a secure box will shield a user from ill-behaved software; a fork bomb was just the first thing that came to my mind. Just imagine a defective X that keeps crashing instead.
Well, I was trying to give an example of a runaway application and a fork bomb was just the first thing that came to my mind. Probably not the best example, but again we're talking about out of the box experiences, not well secured boxes. I suppose you'll concede that badly configured apps can ruin a user's experience, e.g. if they keep crashing.
Regulation is bad. NN is regulation, therefore NN is bad. Looks like a syllogism to me. Your conclusion presupposes that you can think for yourself, but apparently you like to be spoonfed.
Interesting points but you are not considering a simple fact, and that is that sheeple will simply upgrade from Xbox to the 360 and from the PS2 to the PS3 (the Wii will be a blast and make Nintendo rich(er) but will remain a minor player; besides, it's not even in the same market). The PS2 is *the* console by definition so people will buy the PS3.
Idiocy. If some random weirdo started raping your girlfriend in front of you you'd be assaulting him immediately. Thanks for playing but as a troll you really suck. As well as a as a human being.
You must be really terrified at the thought of actually competing for your market. Yet you like it when MS is fined for anticompetitive behaviour. Typical leftist hypocracy.
That's funny, considering I *am* a random person in Italy and pretty much everyone else I know is a random person in Italy too... and we *all* have credit cards. As for paying stuff online: we pay it by *credit card* of course, or maybe PayPal.
No, you cannot do it exactly that way. Not with the text of all messages, like you do in Gmail. It's not a problem for me because I like long, old style lists of emails with the previous exchanges quoted in them:). But if you really like the feature you describe, Opera cannot help you, I'm afraid. Sometimes *even* Opera does not do what you want - a rare occurrance but nonetheless possible:D
No, they don't, you have to click the small arrow to expand the thread. Otherwise they only take up one line. I've just tried it, because I don't like the threaded view so I didn't remember well how it worked. I'm using 9.02 though, it's not the latest version.

In fact, you're so correct that you win the right to decide who's being a tyrant and who's not.

I was talking about general autorun mechanisms such as Windows' start menu or KDE's equivalent feature, or shell rc files.
Sure, that's why I pointed it out as a "bad" experience, not a ZOMGWEREALLGONNADIE experience :)

fork bomb + autorun = bad experience on ANY platform

going to war should be considered an international crime. and as such punished by... Come on you hypocrite, say it!

More on that in 12 months... do you really think everything has been said and done by now?
No matter what geeks think, the PS3 cannot lose. Therefore BlueRay cannot lose. Can you say "network externalities"?
