According to the LinuxBIOS page, they have successfully booted Win2k off of LinuxBIOS.
The biggest thing I see as a problem is the limited motherboard support of the project. However, I suspect that after the first one or two motherboards come out with this new MS-BIOS on it, community support for porting LinuxBIOS will increase.
You are welcome to build a receiver all you like, however DirecTV and Dish Network transmit encrypted signals. Therefore, you can have a device to receive the signals, but you cannot decrypt them.
While, yes, you will miss most of the confrence if you goto the classes, but I was at San Jose as well, and was told that "If you feel confidant enough to pass it you can just take the test."
I would assume that's not going to change in this one either, but I could be wrong.
But the FSF does not believe that code should be owned...
The FSF does not believe that code should not be shared. NOT that it shouldn't be owned. I have yet to see a GPL'd program state that it is in the public domain. Certianly none of the FSF programs are.
Sure, RedHat is a private distro. The only distro that comes close to being public is Debian, to the best of my knowledge.
Let me explain what I mean by private distro and let you make your own opinion. RedHat is being developed by a limited number of Developers. Not just anyone can jump in and write for RedHat. You can submit bugs all you like, but there is no guarentee that they will fix it.
I don't. If you use programs such as Netscape, Outlook Express, Outlook, Eudora, Novell Groupwise, Lotus Notes, Pegasus, Hotmail, NetAddress, and others, you have the ability to read HTML mail. And 99% of the time it comes shipped as on.
Only if you are using a very old e-mail client, say more then 2 years, you are not going to be able to read HTML mail.

Ah, but then there came the DMCA...

I read this a week ago on The Register. And while it wasn't the actual filing of bankruptcy, it was certianly the beginning of the process.

Last time I checked, there was nothing in the GPL that says you have to GIVE your program away. You can still be GPL'd and sell your program.

Really? I am using Road Runner in the NY Capital Region area, and have no problems. But we moved off the Login Client almost 4 months ago.
