Current Owner of BeOS Code Claims Zeta is Illegal

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the not-so-fast dept.

Hank Powers writes "The legal status of the Zeta operating system that was derived from the source code Be Inc. left shortly before going bankrupt has been unclear for several years. Now, the current owner of the source code, ACCESS, claims "if Herr Korz feels that he holds a legitimate license to the BeOS code he's been using, we're completely unaware of it, and I'd be fascinated to see him produce any substantiation for that claim". The sales of Zeta have been suspended and so has the development been halted as well. OSNews has an article about the recent developments."

      I also enjoy this act, and have no problem finding girls who let me perform it on them. My problem is that I'm just not very good at it - do you have any tips? I absolutely love eating pussy. If you want to improve I'd recommend buying the book "She Comes First: The Thinking Man's Guide to Pleasuring a Woman" by "Ian Kerner". The ISBN is "0060538252". The book has a good lots of information on technique. It's definitely helped me improve.

      If you need women to practice on, use MySpace.

    Hurray! I've been asking for this for a long time. BeOS is dead, dammit, and I want it to stay dead. Get it?!

  5. AHAHAHA by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    I bet Eugenia just shat herself in fear that the almighty BeOS might disappear from the tech industry radar for...oh, how many times is it now anyway? More than two, at least. No one cares about Yellow Tab, no one cares about Zeta. They care about Windows, Linux, one of the flavours of BSD...possibly Solaris now that it's opening up more. Wave of the future and all that. BeOS? At best, it's a toy for developers who could be spending their work improving operating systems that actually have a shelf life.

  6. Re:open-source project is immune by tverbeek · · Score: 0, Troll

    I'm sorry, I assumed that anyone with a Slashdot account understood what "open-source" meant. It's pretty much the opposite of "proprietary". Hope this helps.
