You can have $3 billion dollars, you just have to cut your arms and legs off before you can spend a single penny.
The point is; Linux is the most used open source operating system and Sun licensing it under the CDDL is like dangling a carrot out, but saying only one in ever ten people can have a bite.
If the GPL is good enough for Java why isn't it good enough for ZFS? I'll tell you why. Sun's Java was on a road it couldnt' correct so it gave to the GPL community to keep it afloat. ZFS doesn't actually have any real competition so they use the CDDL to thumb their noses at Linux and the GPL.
Sun has always had a sore spot for Linux. They only grudgingly accept Linux at times because their very existence depends on it.

After AMD bought ATI and make claims that they were going to go full bore and fully support Linux I said. "When I see it, I will believe it."
Well, today I make the shift from Nvidia to ATI. I stuck with Nvidia because I had didn't have much trouble getting OpenGL apps to work in Linux and I hear horror stories about ATI and Linux.
The desktops? All Windows. Someone mentioned that firms still use Excel 97 - very true. No one wants to go through the work of porting the ridiculously massive macro and VBA code. Everyone I've known who worked on Wall Street says that Excel is so deeply ingrained that it's practically the Street's O/S.
This is so ridiculously true!
We are a small niche online trading company. Our entire shop is Linux except for our brokers desktops who all run Windows and the Windows domain controllers. Everyone not a broker (with the exception of a single accounting machine) runs Ubuntu as a desktop. Our brokers run Windows because of Excel spread sheets that use DDE among other things that accept live data feeds with seems to be a freaking standard on Wall St.! It seems so archaic in todays computing era, but what can you do!
Of course the Blue Team loses, as evidence I submit the history of the Detroit Lions. The Dallas Cowboys wear blue and they have the highest overall winning percentage all-time (includes playoffs) and even though they've only been around since 1960 they have the most playoff wins of any NFL team. (32 playoff wins, 5 of them Super Bowl wins)
The Bears has the most total wins. (677) Of course they've been around since the birth of dirt!
As long as the major plugin issues are resolved, I will download and use it. I have to remove it and go back to Firefox 2 because so many plugins I use didn't work.
Most people who buy high end PCs are gamers and most of the hard-core gamers tend to build their own. Those that don't, haven't learn to do so yet.
You can get a hell of a lot more high end PC building it yourself vs buying from any computer maker. Thats why most of the PC makers make low end PCs rather than high end. Most people that want monster machines, build them for less.
The last PC I built just over a year ago for $1,500 would have cost in excess of $3,400 from someone like AlienWare.
What about Silverlight? I just happen to be a baseball fan that lives out of state of my favorite team and MLB.TV uses Silverlight which Firefix 3 doesn't like...
I refuse to buy Apple products because of their heavy handed tactics and attempting to force vendor lock in. They are trying to be the "Next Microsoft". (TM)
Every time I post about Apple, I get modded down by Apple zealotry. Well, you filthy Apple Zealots, get to modding!:D

This shouldn't even be a slashdot discussion. Why? 99% of slashdoters don't actually have a clue on the subject. 90% of those that think they know what their talking about is because someone else told them something totally bias and they took it as fact.
My opinion on the subject. I don't have a f'in clue, but will follow the mantra. Use the right tool for the job. I'm sure it fits in the OS kernel world just as it fits everywhere else.
I'm a salary employee. We work 35 hour work weeks (this is the second straight job that worked 35 hour weeks. 9-5 with an hour lunch) When I work weekends for system maintenance even if it's for just 4 hours or so, they match it with a day off when it's slow and when things *are* slow they can be very liberal with time off for say a vacation or visiting family back home for a few days or even a week!
On the other side of it is, the pay isn't top notch (though not terrible either) and the maximum annual raise is pretty much the rate of inflation. (3.8%) If you don't get the maximum raise, then you pretty much just took a pay cut. Top that off with the fact that they have pay ceilings. If you reach that mark, you WILL take a pay cut each year until they decide to raise that ceiling.
They do have insurance, but it is by far the worst I've had in my entire time working. (16+ years) Of course, compared to what some people said their insurance is, I guess it isn't bottom barrel either.
I enjoy the Warcraft I, II, III games, but do not play World of Warcraft or other MMORPGs. (eats way to much time) What I enjoy the most are the Warcraft books. I've read them all and am getting impatient waiting for new ones. I need my Orgrim Doomhammer and Thrall fix.:)
Will it win awards? No. Fun? Yes Exciting? Yes Cool? Yes The camera movement make you not feel good even if you play FPS games? Yes Great action and graphics? Yes Worth watching? Absolutely
Fischer's ability to analyze quickly and precisely the complexities of chess in all its applicable levels at any given type made him very special and gave him so much to offer the world. The defunct psychosis that he suffered from rendered him completely useless for the greater good that his abilities offered.

They can do it.
Stop making updates and let vulnerabilities crush XP.
Hi zealot hater. Your smug attitude is quite unbecoming. Does it make you feel good?

Phipps says that Sun is trying to remedy the situation with the open sourcing of Java, Solaris, and the rest of Sun's software."
GPLing ZFS would go a long way with me!

Bobby Fischer was a great man of nothing.
excuse me, I am a really good programmer
;)
Rule #1, an ego doesn't make you a good programmer.
Not just playing, but creating content is very enjoyable. Top it off with servers playing your maps. or using your models etc. Good stuff.
