Doing DRM right would be cutting off the viewer/listeners eyes, ears, fingers, and anything else that could potentially copy the information, no matter how tedious.

I don't even know why he's harping on Lunix. I can't imagine that a significant amount of people would actually want to use a Commodore 64.
I've tried the Media Center with Vista Home Premium, I don't think it lacks anything from XP-MCE... I agree that it sucks for anything remotely advanced, it does make a decent basic and fairly idiot proof media player. heh
SIMH already emulates other machines from the 1960s/70s, like the PDP-10 (which used 36-bit words as well), at a much faster rate than the original machines ran! On cheap PC hardware no less! I have no doubts that a GE-645 or Honeywell 6180 emulator would far surpass the performance of the original machines on PCs today (unless you throttle the speed; IIRC throttling is possible in SIMH as well to make it feel more like a PDP-10:P).
That's because CentOS isn't competing with Red Hat. Red Hat's market is the enterprise customers that *will* pay tens of thousands of dollars per year for support, and this is exactly the same market Oracle is catering too with Unbreakable Linux.
CentOS is for users that can fix problems on their own and/or cannot afford an RHEL license. This is not the market Red Hat is aiming for.
> 3.2 Group toolbar items into tabs (call them the Office Ribbons if you want... the Office Ribbon is just a ripoff of Dreamweaver UI Tabs anyway and I'm sure they borrowed the idea from someone else. Stealing good ideas is a good thing).
Not really, the files could be anywhere you want them to be. Just have to type the path to them. You can even install when the files are on hard disk (ffs or ext2)
Try kcontrol. Now careful, if you're running a DE named just like a garden decoration I hate, you might not be used to actually having software work the way you want.
The recent Microsoft actions have greatly surprised me, but was it really all that surprising? Microsoft is returning to the pre-DOJ practices that made them a monopoly.

Granted it's not actual "editions of Word", it's close enough. I've seen people get confused at all the Office editions.

Funny, but glxgears was never a real benchmark.
Probably the #1 reason Mario even got popular :)

Looks like the Photoshop 6 UI...
They usually try to insult software by calling it a "clone"--especially by using embarrassing software to compare it to.
I actually have an 8" floppy disk around here somewhere, but no 8.5"...
...how are you supposed to tell the difference between the usual Windows bug from Microsoft locking you out?
Because retail versions of Windows have obviously disappeared, so the only EULA that remains is the non-transferable one.
People *already* do this without source code for devices. The only thing having the source code does, is make the job a whole lot easier and faster.
Is that how it works these days? No wonder there's been no 2.7/2.8/etc yet.
I stopped using Linux when it was about... 2.6.11 or something. (Moved to OpenBSD and never looked back)
...and now a Ministry of Interoperatability. What will come next?

Has cdparanoia stopped working? I've ripped dozens of DRM-"protected" CDs without a hicupp. Works on CDs ranging from physical defects to Sony BMG.
Why is /. still using GIF though? The pictures nice, but ugh, GIF is so obsolete. I could compile my browser GIF-less if it weren't for slashdot :(
Worry me when they're threatening to use them.

May I be the first to welcome you to phase one: Embrace.
I don't see how it violates the GPL at all, it seems perfectly legal to me (IANAL)

All hail the one perfect language!
