If Firefox was installed on the school computers , then i see no reason not to use it . Unless the teachers is completely blind , he can see the web page the student is looking at , and can judge from that wether or not he is doing his work .
This is like a teacher telling you to copy every file in a folder , and because he only knows how to do that by right click-copy-paste , you get detention for using Ctrl-A - Ctrl-C - Ctrl-V .
so don't use GLPv3 .
There are plenty of other open source licenses . It's not because the FSF makes a new one that you have to use that.
There is no good or bad license in there , it just depends on your needs .
I don't think there's a talent shortage , it's more like a shortage of new ideas . Basically , if you think of an application you could use , there's a good chance it already exists . And it's a lot more fun working on something you helped create , than on improving something someone else wrote .
Well , they would still lose a certain amount , namely the amount you could have paid for . But it's not because you can pay for it , that you would ( you still have to eat , pay rent , etc )
In truth , they can not know for certain how much money they lost . They only know they lose money , and they blame it on filesharing , but they can't prove how big that amount really is .
thinking that OSS is secure because it is OSS. The idea is quite simple . If you make something open source , you will have to do everything you can to make the application secure , because anyone can read the flaws . But you still need people who can make the application secure .
Security based on secrecy is bad security .
And well , Tor never claimed that it couldn't be abused . Personally , it's a nice experiment , and it will no doubt keep improving .
If they can reset the password , it means that the emails themselves are not encrypted using that password . Otherwise , resseting your password would result in loss of all your emails .
You can't solve everything with brute force either . Those people are used to strong leaders . So it is likely that any democracy you install will eventually degrade into a dictatorship. Granted , it will be one that supports the US , but it's still no benefit to the people .
True , they won't be able to disconnect from the internet interely , but they will be able to do so for most people .
Not everyone has the skills to get around censorship . And those who do will keep quit , to ensure they are not detected . All they need , after all , if for the majority of people to believe the lies . Those lies can be used to make that majority of people turn against those who wish to tell the truth.
Now , this isn't just the case for Russia of China . Total control over information is very usefull for every goverment .
Well, at least the smart ones will buy Windows PCs for their students, since that will best prepare them for their future. i tend to disagree :
Since no-one can tell the future , it's better to teach student the basics of multiple OS , so they know what's available , instead of being slaves to 1 product.
There are linux distros wich bundle tons of educational software , making it easier for the schools to get what they need
The fact that linux is free , decreases the cost per computer . So they will be able to give more students computers.
stable is more like : nothing changes until we are absolutely positively certain that a change won't bring any problem . If they feel the timezone patch is not safe enough yet to put it in stable , they won't .
normally , packages move from testing to stable after a while . So it's only a matter of time .
Hith me it's different . Analog quality was good enough for me , but now that digital tv exists , the quality of analog suddenly became a lot less on some channels . I guess they are trying to force me to switch .
I thought it was something like : you can foul all of the people some of the time, or some of the people all of the time; but you can't fool all of the people all of the time .
But the i guess there is little difference between fooling someone and keeping someone happy , from the politician's point of view .
HonIsCool , you never read a GPL license , did you ?
There is no way FSF can 'eradicate' non-free software . Using GPL only prevents non-free software from 'eradicating' free software . The only reason to use it , is to make sure nobody can take your work , change one line of code , and then release it under a propiertary lincense and make money of your hard work .
No one is forcing you to use license all your programs under GPL . You can/should use the license you prefer , acording to what you need .
switching to digital doesn't give me any advantages . It takes away a lot of adavantages . Well , at least in Belgium
- It only works for 1 tv ( you have to pay more of you want to receive it on more tv's ) - I have to pay money for each film i want to see later ( as appsosed to just recording it for free ) - There is no difference in quality , since i only have a regular tv ( the digital signal gets converted back to analog )
So why would i pay more , to have less ? If they force the switch , i'll just get everything i need from the internet .
make a backup of your linux partions . then reinstall the original software on it . That way , your warranty is not voided . after you get the labtop fixed , you simply restore the backup .
Voiding a warranty based on software is ridiculous .

TCP constantly verifies that the data was received , while udp only verifies that the data was correct . udp would end up with a lemonade , drink it , and just order a beer again .
Maybe you can start by asking yourself who allows a business to develop into a monopoly at first place, you might get some clues (hint: both US/EU do). That both US/EU waited for MS to become a monopoly shoudl tell you something. You have an excellent point there , however , neither the US nor the EU has earned my respect either .
Nonthing deserves respect just because it has power .
it is possible however . it basically works be faking the certificate . Cain does it that way . The user does get a notification that the certificate is untrusted , but most people will just allow it anyway ( otherwise they can't use the webpage ) .

well at least you are more honest about your spam .
I don't buy it either .

It's a silly example , but it's just the same .

that would work a normal chessgame . But in this case Putin is cheating
Security based on secrecy is bad security .

Personally , it's a nice experiment , and it will no doubt keep improving .
look around on torrent sites , you might find it .
It not like it's a lost sale to them if they won't re-release it .
If they can reset the password , it means that the emails themselves are not encrypted using that password . Otherwise , resseting your password would result in loss of all your emails .
"Java's default UI is still ugly"
I guess that depends on the taste . Personally , i like the Java GUI .
But i don't really care about the iphone , i'm looking into openMoko .

weight does have some effect on fertility though .
If you weigh to little , you might have trouble getting pregnant.
