There are ways to do this on versions of Windows prior to W2K but I've forgotten how. There is also a keymap for the Linux console too, for you power users.
Solution #3: Fund development from profits on the sale auxiliary goods and services
This is the only realistic option I saw. Trying to set up the bond jury would be ridiculously difficult, subjective, and prone to undue outside influence.
Option #3 is something that you can do today, and your revenue stream is
entirely within your control. You can decide
how much you want to market/advertise. You
are in control of your profit model. You
will fail or succeed on your own merits.
You could even set up a business supporting
someone else's software. Examples: Cygnus,
all those Perl consultants, book authors,
magazine article authors, etc.
I know why. It's because the author
hasn't bothered to format his FAQ according
to the standard, nor has he bothered to get
it approved for posting to news.answers et al.

AOL-Time Warner merger would not only control entertainment, but also more important forms of information such as news...
As if the BBC, the Christian Science Monitor, and all affiliates of the Corporation For Public Broadcasting would suddenly disappear into thin air the instant the merger was finalized. Right.
People are lazy, and if it's easy to read what AOL puts in front of you and more work to go read The Nation, people will choose the easy alternative.
This means the people are making a voluntary choice. They are choosing to be lazy. They have to accept the consequences of that choice. TW/AOL is not the one making
a choice. People have the individual responsibility to seek out objective sources of information. I hardly think TW/AOL (or the government, for that matter) can or should be
entrusted, expected, nor legislated into doing that. If you look to TW/AOL to spoon feed you your news and other information, then you deserve what you get.
Big media is not your mommy, despite what all the new-age, new-media luminaries from McLuhan onward would like you to believe.
Big media will not take care of you. Big media
will not think for you. Big media will give you
their version of events, their morality, their biases. The people (however lazy) need to use
their own moral compass to guide themselves
through the muck. The big media outlets (TW/AOL
especially) have no reponsibility to take care of you and to do your thinking for you. You
have to do that yourself.
Ha! As if the crap mass-media consumer news outlets are going to get any worse as a result of this merger? Could they be any more intellectually bankrupt as a result of the TW/AOL merger than they already are?
The idea that a single company would own every entertainment medium on the planet - movies, music, radio, web - doesn't scare you enough?
Scared? About this crap? "movies, music, radio, web" - Is that all there is to
your life? When was the last time you powered down what Douglas Coupland referred to
as "the entertainment totem" and went outside
for some fresh air? Visit a LIBRARY? Take a walk in the park? Go to a MUSEUM? Ride a
bicycle? Call a friend? Do some volunteer work? Attend a student recital at the music school of the nearest university? You said "movies" - ever watch a film-school student's class project? Way more interesting than anything TW/AOL could ever dish out.
This reminds me about the part of the first
Wayne's World movie where the arcade owner
talks about his customers hitting the bar
to get another pellet.
Time-Warner and AOL serve "entertainment" (your word, not mine) pellets to the willing rats.
If you are reading Slashdot, you just might be lucky enough to have the mental horsepower to rise above the mainstream schlock TW/AOL push down the pipe at you.
What, are you worried you might not get your Urkel re-runs? The new hit song by the next
chest-implanted 16-year old pop star? Is that what you want?
Put down the remote or the mouse or whatever, and think about what's really important. Is all this hand-wringing over this deal really worth it? Are the forms of passive so-called "entertainment" that TW/AOL serve the most important things in your life? Maybe that junk is entertaining to you...
glanois is obviously a complete moron who has no experience of AOL.
Oh really? I was on AOL in 1993. I think you were still in diapers then.
Just try it out, fool - take the AOL Titanium CD, install it in any windows system, then once you realize that it's even below YOU, try to uninstall it. Ha!
What will it be called? Sourcemeat? Or FreshForge?
Seriously, you can yammer on about the impartiality issue, but what I really want to know is if/when/how Freshmeat and SourceForge will be merged/reconciled/etc?
Thanks to whomever brought that up during the presentation.
Please - NOT another Perl book
on
GPL for Books?

I'm am (sic) currently creating a large tutorial for Perl to take the place of many books in print on this subject.
Do you honestly think you can write one book that is better than as you say many?

Can anyone draw a comparison between the books Danny reviewed and this title?

Fucking clueless blinded-by-zealotry open-source disciple
That's not me. That's precisely who I was trying to skewer with my comment.
newbie!
My first kernel was 1.0.9.
Think for yourself!
Good advice!
If you really want to see Microsoft eat dust, you had better stop trashing Time-Warner/AOL and get behind this!

I would rather you spend your time and energy updating and improving the existing Perl documentation. For example, go to http://www.perl.com/pub/1999/11/sins.ht ml#8.
Microsoft got their ass handed to them on a plate yesterday. And you think this was a bad thing? Hardly.
I checked the PenguinPutnam site, but no joy. Help?!?!
