    Second and subsequent distributions are infringements?

    John owns the copyright to song.mp3. He lets people download the song from his website.

    Bev decides to put song.mp3 on her site, and because John lets people download it, she does also. Bev infringes copyright?
    Harold gets song.mp3 from Bev's site, infringing the copyright, and thinks, oh well John has it on his site, I'll put it on mine too. Infringing again? Repeat Bev or Harold.

    I think RMS will be please to know that Guanine has been renamed to GNUanine for any bio-logical device running GNU- stuff (GNU/Linux). Of course, he may not be pleased with the idea of controlling biological species as if they were electronic systems, being a paranoid insecure coot. Ah well.

    Apple doesn't need to give away 8" things to keep their user base happy. Doing so would just reinforce the `mac users are gay` stereotype. Of course, we all know that mac users would just love to get their hands on any 8" that Apple would give them.

    12 = 10 so .9 -> 1.0 -> 8.0+1.0 = 9.0 for what would be 8.[12]).

  12. Re:It's just the opposite for me on Do Software Versions Really Matter? · · Score: 1

    What do you show in the about dialog where it generally says the version information. Version 0? Version 1? You *still* require some form of versioning system -- whether it start at an arbitrary number like 6.0, or whether it start at a 'standard' number like 0.x or 1.0. Of course, you could just release the version number as the date like Ubuntu, possibly followed by a *not so random* number like the number of commits since the previous release.

    eg:
    may, 2008, sixty commits: 8.5.60
    december 2008, 120 comits: 9.0.120 (let's think we're in dozenal system here so 12 = 10 so .9 -> 1.0 -> 8.0+1.0 = 9.0 for what would be 8.[12]).
    Also, this may/december release could look like normal x.0 and x.5 releases, and that the x.0 release is the first release of the year, and the x.5 is the second release of the year.

    And relating to this project, the initial 6.0 release should have infinitely more features than the previous 1, 2 ... 5.0 releases that were non existant. Who cares about the bugs! There are so many more features than the previous releases!

  14. Re:This is different from the OFF button how? on Software Holds Cell Phone Calls While Driving · · Score: 1

    I suppose it would be more like SILENT MODE --- or, automatic silent mode which turns on while at 'driving speeds' and turns off once stopped. What happens in a traffic jam?

    Did you know that the word "gullible" was omitted from the most recent version of the Oxford English Dictionary? Fact.
