$700? no. But if someone handed me $700 and told me to use the gimp, no to that too. It is not worth it. I would rather turn down $700 than use the gimp.
This isnt a "five minutes figuring something out" thing. It's a "Well, the people who wrote this obviously do not have any of the same priorities when related to graphics editing that I have, so I have no reason to use it."
You know, 'cause when I'm manipulating an image with an image manipulator, I like to know what I'm doing to the image, not what numbers are involved in doing it.
now define "porn" in such a way that everyone is happy and both satisfies those who want to block things and wont interfere with mixed-content sites.
and how would that really help google without a seperate.xxx-oral,.xxx-anal,.xxx-asian,.xxx-scat,.xxx-bdsm, etc, etc, and all combinations of them? And is Anal a subcatagory of Interratial or is Interratial a subcatagory of Anal?
Have you ever actually looked for porn on the internet? I suspect not. Who the fuck wants porn, any porn, it doesnt matter what is thrown at me, to the extent that making a seperate "porn" tld would help google in any way at all?
See, this is why I work with databases. These are complex information sets:)
and of course we know that nobody uses non-opensourced source databases.
Too bad it's impossible to imply somebody is stupid by saying "Your math sucks" without getting modded "flamebait" or "troll". You'd think "informative" would work.
now, the statistic that 64% of administrators have said they use open source dbs might be relevent, if of course any of those could be considered to be part of the "market"- I doubt my PHP/MySQL driven message board counts as part of the "Market".

This will only increase as games give us more options.
Note that in GTA you can also just participate in races all day, never stealing anything or doing anything illegal. Does this mean not doing anything illegal is encouraged? Because you can. Note that in GTA you can also just sit in front of the couch and play videogames all day. Does this mean it's being encouraged? Because.. err..
okay, do you need to hold my post up to a mirror or read it backwards or just add its binary value to a random number generator in order to get your interpretation out of it?
IP law as it is is not a good thing. Fucking duh. It is anti-capitalist. Fucking duh. You seem to have missed the point: These laws are being made to favor corporations instead of citizens- I propose you incorporate.
There cannot be anything illegal about selling license to use things without selling physical media- because that ability is the basis of all copy-protection.
There cannot be anything illegal about distributing files which you own the rights to.
Act quickly and become a player before the game is over. That is the point. Yes, laws can be passed which would make it illegal to create a business which distributes content like this- but it has not happened yet. The only way to prevent it is to do the capitalist thing. If the government is only going to look at people who make money, Make some money.
321 studios is in no way related to what I proposed. They were doing pretty much the exact opposite of what I just said. 321 Studios would not be in competition with Disney when their product was used as intended. That's pretty much as unrelated as you can get.
destroy what you dont like by forming your own, better system. Remember that it will never be illegal to download and share files legally. If you can make a successful business by selling licenses and allowing people to download and share, as opposed to selling something which doesnt do what customers want and then complaining when they find ways to get things that do what they want- do it.
Capitalism works by people not just saying "this sucks!", but by saying "this sucks, and I can make a lot of money by making it not suck". Right?
First off, I'm not a lawyer. No one on slashdot is:)
Secondly, it's probably safe to assume that he's just reading it wrong.
But thirdly, I can fathom a reason for this sort of clause: any code you write while on the job might be considered derived from code you have previously written. (I know I've re-written code from what I've worked on at home when I knew it was the best way to do something.) This sort of clause would protect them if you ever tried to claim ownership of the code because it was similar to code you had ownership of. It's obscene that this would even need to be considered, but it makes enough sense that "I can fathom" is applicable. Beyond the merest fathoming, no clue, though;)
The preceding has been a wild guess. If you couldnt tell that without this disclaimer, you probably shouldnt be here.
Perhaps if there were some sort of "registry", to which all configuration information could be added in a common format, which any program could access or modify...
I personally dont use Gnome or KDE because I think the concept of a "Desktop" is stupid. I only put up with "windows" because (unlike a desktop), there's not really a choice in the matter. If you want to use an application, it defines its interface as a window and projects that information into a window manager. I certainly dont expect my "Windows" to hover over a "Desktop". "Windows" only exist because everyone expects them and everyone expects them only because they already exist.
When you get down to it, Windows are holding us back. They're putting everyone in the mindset of "this is one program, the data within it belongs to this program". That's really a poor mindset to have in this age. Everything is data, and there should be no boundaries between the data in one program and the data in another. (*security notes being a seperate issue with its own considerations, talking strictly about interface here) Yes, data should have the ability to be logically grouped together, but if you ignore the concept of windows, the ways you can use that data expand greatly. "Clipboards" are a cruel bastardization of this concept which poorly hack small portions of it onto the flawed concept of "Windows".
Windows were a great idea 20 years ago. Copying the look of MSWindows is not a good place to start if you want to do something better. Copying the usability of windows might be a good start, but the Open Source community seems somehow (contradictory to logic) opposed to interoperation between applications- I know that's not strictly true, but it does feel that way to me, and this whole post, (as it seems people need this explicitely stated) is just me stating my opinions.
So you couldnt refute my comment but felt bad about it, and decided to bring up an unrelated point instead? Go you! Did you know Microsoft didnt make the first optical mice??
and given that most of what's on the internet is porn, it's only logical. People should stop stealing porn and just take their frustration out by raping somebody instead. Mickey Mouse is safe.

That's a good point about SSL. But really the main problem is that whenever you get a message that says "The page you have requested required POST data blah blah blah", you should get a "just go back" option in addition to "re-send POST data" and "don't go back"- in my mind it is pretty much encouraging people to do things which you never want to do on a banking site. If you completed your transaction, need to go back because you need the transaction number for records or such, you NEED a real back button, and you most certainly do NOT want to re-send data. That is to say: Really the whole idea of banking sites wanting to block this is backwards, because financial situations are the primary reason for wanting this.
I ran opera until I started using gmail and opera started crashing all the time in Linux. *(that is, my installation of Opera on my installation of Linux, I have no general information, I just couldnt run Opera in linux anymore). I loved its real back button.

if it/does/ do "true history", they would block it. I dont think they care what alternative is available, they just dont want people to be able to use the back button to actually show what was seen before. You know, like a back button.

I submitted a feature request / bug report regarding the lack of a true "back" button which actually keeps a true page history instead of just a list of URLs (ideally the server would have no idea you hit "back" and would recieve no request at all). It turns out problems like this are actually put there on purpose because banking sites have threatened to block Firefox if it doesnt do this.
As for why there's no about:config option, that's for Jesus to figure out.
