Bear is not carnivorus, it is omnivorus like pig and human. Whale is not carnivorus, it eats plancton. Dogs are canivorus. Many fish are also eating other fish, I don't know if they qualify. Tyranosaurus are carnivorus too, never eat one of them.
Each country has different laws. It would be interested to know where download is legal, where it is not. Same for upload. Please contribute this thread. I will try to summarize all the information and set it on a website for reference.
AFAIK, download is legal in France, upload is illegal
Please state for other countries.

RTFA. Ok, on Monday. Not yet. OK. is going to be realeased. probably.
The GPLv3 will (or won't) be the internet-ready version of the GPL. At least I hope. It will allow users the four rights (Free Software) that are circumvented/denied by online apps (webapps and al). Sooner is better.
Webmail doesn't mean the mail is on someone else's server, it just mean it is accessed with a web UI. So something like IMAP but within a browser. I don't like it but there is plan to migrate all the mailboxes (about 70,000) to such a system.
I supposed the code is well written. Comments won't help for bad code.
It doesn't matter what the language is if the programmer doesn't know how to write/comment properly.
Some languages are easier to understand than others. The semantic of Java is very simple, the semantic of Perl or others is not. These languages are more powerfull but also more difficult to understand. Code that was hard to write should be commented. However, there is no such code in Java;)
I agree with your sig.
You should use Java instead (or another easily readable and understandable programming language). Ok there may be some cases where a comment is needed but it is quite rare. Give the source, that should be enough. Of course, if your design is complex, you should write design/technical documentation (but it is out of the scope of comments anyway). Don't hide important information into comments, give it its own status. Don't clutter your code with comments. IMHO.
The main problem is the importance of software patents in the US. The GPLv2 doesn't deal with patents. More recent licenses do (ASL2, EPL,...). A GPLv3 is needed to take the new situation in consideration. It would be also nice if ASL2, EPL,... become compatible.
Nothing has changed yet in the GPL. This is just an announce for the process that will lead to the GPL v3. So you can involve yourself in the discussion.
There is at least one thing wrong with Firefox. According to the releases notes, "The preferred abbreviation is 'Fx' or 'fx'.". But almost every one uses 'FF'. They should listen the users;)
Thanks for the reply, I will try it. Let's hope it works in cases of crash.
For the crashes, I have no doubt the reason is somewhere in an extension or more probably a plugin. However, I disagree with "it's the data the program is using which is broken...". Robust software doesn't crash for bad data. But I think the problem is more in the native code, maybe a plugin.
Show me the code;)
Sorry but to license specs is a step backward. Specs should be public and free for anyone to implement. Ring me back when they will put their code under an open-source license. Licensing specs is even against the spirit of FOSS.
Activity is overrated. One thing done well is better than 100 things done wrong. And please don't denigrate potatoes. Anyway good timing with this thread (Introverts Have More Brain Activity?).
There is certainly some problems with FF and/or plugins. Quite often, if I don't shut it down in the evening, it will crash in the morming when starting to use it again. Yes, it may be Flash or another plugin. I didn't find a "restore session" option. Does FF has one?
"All of our studies are written as if they will be released publicly BUT it is up to the sponsor if the study is publicly released."
My understanding is the sponsor will publish only favorable study. Do they have to choose before or after? Let's order a few studies and publish only the "good" ones.

his bear there, it may well have been living entirely off of salmon runs, in which case it would have been carnivorous when he ate it.
You probably can find a vegetarian too if you are looking hard for it.
"A bear is a large mammal of the order Carnivora" (Wikipedia)
that depends upon the species of whale
Translation mistake. I meant baleen whales
Dogs on the other hand will eat just about anything
"The dog is a canine mammal of the Order Carnivora" (Wikipedia)
Tyranosaurus probably tasted at least a little bit like chicken
I didn't tasted it so I can only believe you
possibly modern factory farm chicken at that... Do you know what your food's been eating?
Only 100%-vegetal feed chicken living outside.

So, if you want to go to jail, go ahead and use Kazaa to download your copyrighted material.
Remember that download is legal in many countries, OTOH upload is not.

I guess no one.
BTW, ICAAN seems too weak and not able to challenge Verisign or the US governement.

I think they should do it. Cut the bandwidth. 50% for the web, 50% for gopher.

Proposal: remove all ads and put them on dedicated websites
Rational: people like to see ads when they choose to

My company is developing some software that we will release as OSS. I doubt that we will use GPLv.3.
;)
Depends if you can wait 'til Spring 2007
I think it goes too far.
How far? There is not even a public draft. Do you mean GPLv2?
And I don't like that the FSF can change it anytime in the future.
They can't. Once the text is out, it is definitive.

It was 'employees requesting Linux (user demand)' and because 'my competitors have successfully deployed Linux,' he added.
In other terms: PRODUCTIVITY
(I'm not surprized)

Firefox, Galeon and al. are just "wrappers" around Gecko. And Safari, Konqueror and al. around KHTML. Not sure I follow your logic.

Microsoft's best product is their mice.
I disagree. It is not very robust. Mine lasted only one year...
(thinking again) Hmm, you're right, this is probably their best product.
