There's no problem accessing the IP from Comcast's route server (route-server.newyork.ny.ibone.comcast.net). Seems to indicate that it's closer to the access network.

*I* don't mind people smoking on the weekends, but it's still illegal. Change the law if you want to. And from my experience, yes, an initial positive drug screening is not a final result.

How is this a problem? An initial positive is not the final thing.

So unless they can prove that there is no more mtr code in WinMTR, they must absolutely provide WinMTR under the GPL. Otherwise they have no right to use mtr code.
Innocent until proven guilty, no? The burden of proof lies with the accuser.

The TPB case is however not a blatant disregard for copyright laws. The case is very important and sets a precedence for the legality of these kinds of services. It has never been tried before and was widely believed to be permitted. The new rulings does change this, but they haven't been made final yet. They can still appeal to the Swedish supreme court (and most probably will).

Even though Piratpartiet does host Piratebay (at least provide transit for), TPB does not operate under "parliamentary immunity" if not for other reasons so for the reason that Piratpartiet is not a member of the Swedish parliament.

They lose IPv4 address space. But I guess thay've made a cost analysis and concluded that the goodwill outweights that loss. I think it's awesome nonetheless (even though the win is negligible).

Actually, there was (don't now if "they" registered for this election) a party called "Kalle Anka-partiet" (Donald Duck Party). It is a traditional alternative to blank votes. The Donald Duck Party is run by a bearded old homeless guy from Malmo. "They" promise to give people wider sidewalks and free beer.

No, in that case the organization is just making the copies for itself. As a consequence, a company or other organization can develop a modified version and install that version through its own facilities, without giving the staff permission to release that modified version to outsiders.

This should answer your question: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#GPLRequireSourcePostedPublic
"The GPL does not require you to release your modified version, or any part of it. You are free to make modifications and use them privately, without ever releasing them. This applies to organizations (including companies), too; an organization can make a modified version and use it internally without ever releasing it outside the organization."
2 Displays and 2 Workspaces With Linux and X? 460
Borov writes "I'm planning to buy a second monitor in near future and I was searching for ways to configure it under Linux. It seems there are two main ways: 1) to have one 'big' desktop, which means I have single workspace — changing virtual desktop switches both monitors or 2) to have separate X sessions for each display — which means I have separate workspaces, but I can't move applications between them. I need something in the middle — a separate workspace for each screen, so that I can have independent virtual desktops on each screen, but still have the ability to move applications between monitors (no need to strech one app across both of them). I've read that some tiling window managers can do this kind of thing, but I'd rather go with 'classical' window managers, like Openbox/Gnome/KDE or similar."
