NX Compression Technology To Go Closed Source

Posted by timothy on Tuesday December 21, 2010 @12:01PM from the thanks-anyhoow dept.

An anonymous reader writes "NoMachine has sneakily revealed it is closing its source of the NX compression technology with NX 4.0: 'This release marks an important milestone in the history of the company. Version 4.0 of the software, in fact, will be only available under a closed source license.'"

you're the one implying i was incorrect... i'm the one proving that the only person incorrect is you. if you find such factual evidence condescending, that should tell you something.
if a minimal processing time can be defined, and a maximum compression ration can be defined, then "optimal" is not subjective.
you're an idiot.
why do you cower? what are you afraid of?
you're completely pathetic.

did your mother name you "Rockoon" or is that the name you were given on the first day of idiot camp?
considering the compression ratio will change from file to file, the weighted level of importance would only be relevant if it were on an average compression ratio over an arbitrarily sized series of sample files. i'm confused how you could not understand this.
also considering that those very weighted levels DEFINE THE OPTIMAL SOLUTION... you're an idiot.

considering i used the term "NEAR optimal" then perhaps ur mum's face don't see that you are using "optimal" in the way that ur mum's face think it should be. by the way, i'm pretty sure you got your attempted contradiction wrong. you're a logical peabrain. considering we're not talking in your preferred field of marketeering, the term you're hypocritically ignoring is RELATIVITY which is implied with the qualifier i used, and you seemingly forgot to read: NEAR
