They can legally not hire you because of your religion? In the European Union, that's very illegal.

Yes, Abortion is illegal in Ireland. It's also illegal in Malta BTW. However it is not against the law to distribute information about abortion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion_in_Ireland

"We're trying to take this open source idea to the next level, which is open content and open access to cultural materials, which means 'publicly downloadable in bulk.' I think we're really seeing the next level up of this whole movement — we had the open network, then open source software, now we're starting to see open source content."

Is KDE 4.0 the Holy Grail of Desktops? 511

Posted by CmdrTaco on Thursday March 29, 2007 @11:02AM from the what-does-that-make-gnome-then dept.

An anonymous reader writes "With KDE 4.0 being expected some time this year, expectation runs high in the linux/unix users camp and the media read a lot between the lines of what the KDE developers say and do. In some ways KDE will provide a standard as to how a desktop should look and behave. This interesting article wonders whether KDE 4.0 will become the complete desktop which will meet the needs of a wide cross section of computer users. One of the common complaints that some Linux users have over KDE is that it is too cluttered. And by addressing this need without putting off the power users, the KDE developers could make it an all in one Desktop. Keep in mind that KDE 4.0 is based on Qt 4.0 and so can be easily ported to Windows and other OSes too which makes this thought doubly relevant."
