I am commenting from my work right now. Working for a company which does not allow me some non-work related surfing is not acceptable for me. I want to be informed about what's going on, and as long as my productivity does not suffer, employers should encourage web-surfing.
The criteria are not objective; here, Microsoft's opinion on a licence determines whether or not it counts as "open source".
Not correct. Microsoft does not want that the OSI examines the license. According to the rules of the OSI, only the creator of the license can start the examination-process.
It is not decided if the license is open source or not; MS blocked a decision.
The OSS zealot of open source is "Source code that anyone can get for free." However a more literal definition might be "Source code that is available to others than the people that wrote it." Just because someone doesn't give you their code for free, or allow you to do what you please with it doesn't mean that it isn't open. There are many open standards like that. They are open, in that anyone can get them, but you've got to pay for licensing.
Open Source has a crystal-clear definition (visit OSI for the definition); the meaning of the term "Open Source" is nothing zealots can change.
This ODF-Viewer doesn't let you edit the ODF:

VIEWERS don't let you edit the files, EDITORS do allow that.
Interestingly enough, i found several free (as in beer) PDF-Editors.
That was part of the argument, yes. The decision said that CS IS a violent game which is harmful in some ways, but it could theoretically be played without violence and the use of communication outweights the harm.
The reason the sale of Counter-Strike wasn't forbidden in Germany was, that a Sociologist and an Officer of the BKA (=FBI of Germany) convinced the rating-board that CS boosts teamwork and social-skills. So yes, you can assert that that playing Counter Strike all day long improves your skills of teamwork.
Wires are GOOD.
Using wired peripherals,
-i don't have to worry about batteries
-i am sure my mouse works, even in that spot behind the speakers where the magnet blocks the wireless mouse
-no-one can print on my wired printer.
-no-one can hack my wired webcam to look at me while i am browsing for p^Hrecreational clips on youtube
I did 3 Installs of 6.06. .
All 3 lacked something and/or crashed during install.
5.10 worked great; The new graphical installer has some issues when you go "back" (which i often do during the partitioning-process because it never does what i want it to do).
or at least talk about some facts.
All we hear from Sun is blabla about how they will open-source parts of Java in one or two years.
What i want to know:
-Which parts of Java?
-WHICH LICENSE ?
Jaffe says that he immensly enjoys playing games with a good story.
However, as a developer, he cannot enjoy playing the games he worked on, because he allready knows the story and every twist of it. Thus, he decided to not make a story-based game, because he does not enjoy doing story-based games.
Hard to grasp, n'est-ce pas ?
People who loose too much get on a do-not-gamble-list in Germany. Every Casino has to check the list, an losses of persons on that list are null (meaning the looser does not have to pay).

Uplink and Darwinia are now available through Steam, and Defcon (release: late next month) will be there, too !
Of course he is free to impose his no-surf rules. That's the second where i take the freedom to change jobs.

You have to meet two criteria to be on that list: a)Comply to the open source definition b) ask the OSI to review you No hidden agenda.
This is because the OD-standard was rushed in the spreadsheet-part. Things like function-calls (sums etc.) for example are not standartized.

The standard is open, published and free for everybody to implement. There are just no good free tools, that's all.

These are features of the installer, which is only used one time in the life of a debian-installation. This is non-news.
That's because no one cares about the EU law-making process until it is too late.
A MSDN-subscription is a subscription to the MSDN-online service hosted at MICROSOFT.COM . there are no "cracked" MSDN-subscriptions.

not true. Most routers do allow just that.

You know, in the world outside, there are people (gasp!) who even speak more than one language (doublegasp!) and can translate that thing.
