How about not commenting or confirming his identity?
Greg DeKoenigsberg, an ex-Red Hat employee wrote a blog post slamming Canonical for the "absolutely egregious" statistic and suggesting that Canonical has been "riding on Red Hat's coattails for years."
Tough shit. This is open source, if you don't like others using your work you should develop proprietary software instead.
We've never given the commission a democratic mandate to parcipate in negotiations like this, and we can't remove them if we don't like what they do since they're not democratically elected. Yet the're representing us, trying to enforce a position that a lot of europes wouldn't support.
But the article gives the impression that there will be no second reading in the parliament.:(
The Council, Commission and Parliament now want firmly to lash down the final regulatory framework in what they call a "trilog" procedure. If this works, no second reading in Parliament will be necessary.
Ok, I missread the title but my point still holds for the council of ministers. Most decisions in the council of ministers are actually taken behind the scenes by permanent representatives in brussels which we can't vote for or hold responsbile for their decisions either. The ministers will then have to confirm the decisions but in the case with ACTA this was done by the "Agriculture and Fisheries council" (which is a part of the council of ministers) with no debate at all.
Actually we didn't vote for the people in the European Commission. EU is not a democracy. So whatever they do, we have no way of holding them accountable.
Perhaps you'd feel some kind of loyalty to the country where you where born? If I where in that situation I'd probably try to do something to help the country rather than just leave.
If this carries out, this will pretty much end the debate on how Macs are "so much better for image editing than PCs" even though most of us know that that is rubbish. Kinda hard to do image editing when the primary tool used for the job isn't even available for your OS. What? There will be a version for Mac OSX, but only 32 bit just like the current version.
I tried getting webpages to display upside down but I couldn't get it working.
I installed squid, changed it to "transparent", to run on port 80, and pointed url_rewrite_program to the script from the article. Everything else is at the default settings. I then stoped apache, started squid instead and ran iptables to redirect everything to the proxy (I had to add -t nat to get it working). But I only get "Access Denied" from squid. I've never used squid before so I don't know what to do.
I tried vista when it was new. After installing nvidia's driver the system would crash whenever I tried to change resolution or play a game. Apperantly this was a common problem with the Geforce 7900. I tried some workarounds but none worked very well. I ended up removing vista (not only because of the crashes).
A few weeks ago I tried installing vista again. I hoped that the problem would've been fixed with SP1 and nvidia's latest driver. But no, the problem still remains after over a year.
I also submited a bug report to nvidia a year back but never got any response.
Right there is enough for me to not even consider it. I bought a laptop with a Geforce 8400, 2 GB or ram, and a dual core processor for $600. Why the hell would I spend $500 on a crippled machine like Redfly?
Because it's small and have up to 8h battery time.
I tried the Acid 3 test in Firefox 2.0.0.12 , Firefox 3 (recent nightly build), IE7, Opera 9.26 and Safari 3 (windows beta). The best was Firefox 3 which almost rendered the page correctly. The worst was IE7 (as expected). Safari was probably a little bit better than Opera and Firefox 2 but it's hard to tell.
Microsoft's own most senior executives were completely bamboozled by the "Vista capable" labelling scheme. "I personally got burned by the Intel 915 chipset on a laptop that I PERSONALLY (e.g. with my own $$$) [bought]", said Mike Nash, Corporate Vice President, Windows Product Management, who bought a "Vista capable" laptop, only to find it couldn't run the Aero interface. "I now have a $2100 email machine," he concluded.
As opposed to a $2100 email machine with aero?
But they're doing it to PROTECT people. Everyone ELSE is doing it to OPPRESS people. HUGE difference.
You where modded funny, but actually you should've been modded insightful. That's probably exactly hove they're reasoning.

Their objective here is not getting sued rather than preventing eye damage..

Why does nvidia always have to develop their own proprietary stuff rather than using what's already avilable?

How about Windows Vista?

... and it might have a chance.
Because netcraft confirms it.
I just installed IE8 beta 1 and while it's better than IE7 it's still worse than the rest.
