Will governments (especially those who still have state-run telephone systems) try to figure out a way to tax this somehow? Seems a bit too good to be true.
I'm just commenting on how little publicity this thing gets compared to other big opens-orce projects like Ubuntu, Firefox and openoffice.org
I'd heard about them weeks in advance of their latest big release, but this, nothing. If they are happy with it being underground that's fine, but they are doing much to push it.
From what I have heard of FreeBSD

Is that it's hard to use. Basically, I think they need to step up some publicity for this, I'm not sure what kind of environment FreeBSD is deisgned for (servers, desktops?) but the fact that I don't even know that says a lot.
Oh well, if I find a liveCD version, I might try it.
Anway, was talking in #firefox yesterday asking if RC1 was delayed, when some TrooperBob guy asks me what the heck an RC is, then quotes me a news post from Oct 27th 2004 about 1.0RC1, saying it was out days ago.
I would be too attached to sell my old consoles to some big gamestore chain.
For example, I have a PAL version of Streets of Rage 3 for the Mega Drive (genesis) that's worth about £40 ($71) but when you can play as a kangaroo, I'm holding on to it, even with the possibilities emulation holds.

China win.
I'm from Britain. Seems all we care about is Microsoft being a bully, and software patents.

Would it be possible to create some kind of bios level switcher so that dual-botting would be possible?
Would open-source mpeg4 codecs such as xvid be vulnerable to AT&T's patents?

The poll was aimed at kids, and I doubt many 10 year olds come on slashdot.
Kids like games. Adverts pray on kids minds. Never would of guessed..
.. it may push people back to p2p. Hell, 99p or cents a song is still too much for me, it would have to be 20p to satsify my cheap ass.
Because I'm guessing if it's cheap enough they'll start feeding it to Chinese factory workers so they can increase tat output by 100%.
So is this thing designed to prove Google is doing nasty things? I'm really confused.
