If it gives the original project owners vast wealth, freeing up their time spent doing day jobs to work completely on their open source forked version then sure, why not.
Which wouldn't make any difference even if they didn't own the IP. A GPL fork would still be necessary anyway and there's nothing wrong with forking. In fact I think forking would be good for mysql, then maybe some of the 3 to 4 year old bugs that people keep complaining about will get fixed.
I'm in the same boat as you. After using my G1 I'm hooked to physical keyboards. If this thing had a keyboard and bigger battery I would be sold. I know it's important to some people but don't really care how thin it is, what I care about is battery life.
This is no different from the slaves that made your nike shoes, computer equipment, etc in china or the indian outsourcers you give impossible deadlines to in your company. The only difference is that in Dubai it's right next to you rather then thousands of miles away where you can just shrug it off.
I found your assertion very uninformative. Once you get into reading your link the picture becomes clear..
"Life was fantastic. You had these amazing big apartments, you had a whole army of your own staff, you pay no taxes at all. It seemed like everyone was a CEO. We were partying the whole time."
Her husband, Daniel, bought two properties. "We were drunk on Dubai," she says. But for the first time in his life, he was beginning to mismanage their finances.
Later on the article describes how he had a brain tumor. The whole time though the Canadian couple had the opportunity to break free and catch a flight home so why didn't they? Yet another case of spending all your money away until it's too late then crying about it.
I found this part particularly humorous..
I assumed if all these big companies come here, it must be pretty like Canada's or any other liberal democracy's," she says. Nobody told her there is no concept of bankruptcy. If you get into debt and you can't pay, you go to prison.
If you move to a different country the very first thing you do is check up on the local laws. Seriously, how stupid do you have to be to go to the middle east and expect it to be like Canada. Which leads me to this part..
"When we realised that, I sat Daniel down and told him: listen, we need to get out of here. He knew he was guaranteed a pay-off when he resigned, so we said – right, let's take the pay-off, clear the debt, and go." So Daniel resigned – but he was given a lower pay-off than his contract suggested.
Typical, didn't check the contract. Either your contract says something or it doesn't why these people banked on a payout is stupid. If she realized about the local laws at this point they should have sold everything and got a ticket out the country. Not sat on your ass hoping for the best.
These aren't slaves, they're people who have over indulged, didn't think or save for the future and are now homeless crying about it.
In my opinion it's because those that have a lot of the IP space don't want to switch over. Why switch over when you can create an artificial scarcity and make millions off selling IP addresses they were given freely decades ago.
Just because there isn't a good implementation of Teredo doesn't mean free software is late with IPv6 adoption. It has had IPv6 support way before anyone else and Teredo isn't even true IPv6. It uses UDP to send IPv6 packets through an IPv4 network.
Lastly what's stopping you from writing the implementation yourself? You seem interested in the subject, patches are welcome more then complaining.
Meanwhile in Asia where I live (and where most of the piracy happens) I happily download as much as I want. Thanks for subsidizing me UK citizens!
This is only important to the UK government because the they don't have any industry left. Everything in the UK is service based so without patents, copyright, etc they'd be a pathetic nation of unemployed losers who are too snobby to take lower class jobs. oh wait!
When I was setting up our DVCS at work bzr was actually my last choice. We wanted to setup our repository in a SVN like fashion where developers had to update before committing on the server. This gave us the collaboration benefits of SVN while getting the great merging benefits of DVCS. A real plus when working in an office environment where pushing and pulling is a total nightmare because other employees don't strictly follow how to use the tools.
When I asked in the git irc channel how to do this and they called me stupid. When I asked in the hg channel they said I didn't understand DVCS and that I should go back to svn. When I asked in the bzr channel however the people were nice, helpful and linked me directly to information on their wiki on how to setup my repo.
This is the reason bzr is a winner in my opinion. I don't care if git is 1 second faster, i don't care if you can edit a commit from 40 revisions ago. If I can't even figure out how to do what I want to do because the community is too busy calling everyone stupid then I'm going to use something else. Same goes for hg, if you say that hg doesn't work that way and I misunderstand how DVCS works then I am going to go else where.
And how much of that CO2 was then absorbed by plants, into desserts, etc? Once it gets into the air doesn't mean it just stops so why do you end your math there?
I'm not saying either side is right however I think scientists could do better by working with analysts more often.
A scientist isn't trained in knowing how much data is to be considered for something to be chance or correlation. Throughout recent history we've had multiple scientists fooled by claims such as physic ability, homoeopathy, etc only to be debunked once it was mentioned that the tests done were achievable by pure chance.
It's all fun and games until one scientist without any understanding statistics claims child jabs give kids alzheimer's then lots of kids die of diseases they wouldn't have gotten in the first place.
True however if you take the game Soldner: Secret Wars for example. A game that boasted x amount of vehicles you could drive. Yet when I bought it you couldn't do jack shit and was completely broke.
There's definitely a line. I'm not saying a game has to be bug free however lying on the back cover about features that don't even exist is pure BS.
Another game that comes to mind is Eve-Online. When that first came out the back cover mentioned about the ability to own your own space station. Only took them YEARS later to add it though.
I say let it happen. Then the government can step in again and prevent them from locking out reselling which is what game publishers are most worried about anyway.
Yes it mentions the world trade center as a possible target however it also mentions a great deal others too. It also says the group plan to use explosives (which is in the last paragraph you're referring to).
The world trade center wasn't blown up. Two airliners jets were flown into it. It's was such a shocking event because before this no one even considered the idea.
For one thing, they might have been able to do shoot down the second plane in the 15 minutes or so between attacks.
Even if it would be possible to detect that the plane had been hijacked ( at a time everyone thought it was an accident ) there is no possible way they would have been able to shoot it down in time.
Not only that, I bet if it was shot down everyone would be howling for the president to be put in jail for it because you don't just shoot down an airliner jet full of hundreds of people on speculation that they "might" take out a building.
Have your politics really blinded you to common sense?
America isn't my country and I have no sides either way. It is you that is blinded. Everything I said is common sense and based in reality, unlike your stringing of bits of PDFs as "proof".
No because the GPL isn't an end user license. If you download or use GPL code, edit that code and not give it away then the GPL doesn't apply to you in anyway.
Would ten whole minutes made a difference? What did you expect him to do in that time? Use his superpowers to fly up to the second plane and fight the terrorists?

All the operating systems you mentioned have IPv6 support. OSX and Linux have had at for ages. Windows Vista and Windows 7 have it too.
In my opinion it's because those that have a lot of the IP space don't want to switch over. Why switch over when you can create an artificial scarcity and make millions off selling IP addresses they were given freely decades ago.

Apple does have a patent on multitouch. Not sure of the specifics though it was on slashdot about 1 or 2 years ago.
Exactly, sounds like a defensive patent to stop someone else from trying to sue them.

Even if it has 100% of the same DNA? I'm not claiming this goat does, just that your statement is complete nonsense.
Man is nature. We're not the only animal that have made another extinct and we won't be the last either.

Lucky for me the bzr community sees this as a feature rather then mocking its users for it's tools own deficiencies.

Why don't you go live in a pure oxygen environment for a few hours, then tell us how things are working for you.

I read your PDF and it's totally wrong.
Yes it mentions the world trade center as a possible target however it also mentions a great deal others too. It also says the group plan to use explosives (which is in the last paragraph you're referring to).

It's not a stupid argument when then GP says..
Why is it stupid that I use some critical thinking to ask the question why it would have made a difference?
No because the GPL isn't an end user license. If you download or use GPL code, edit that code and not give it away then the GPL doesn't apply to you in anyway.

This isn't about promotion. Stallman wants any mention of proprietary software censored off the gnome planet.
"Loading the latest read hat in vmware here's how I figured it out" - CENSORED
That's whats happening, that's what he is suggesting. Don't try and spin this bullshit to mean he's got more ethics.
You sound like a Chinese government offical. Enjoy your censored "freedom" in a stallman world.
