Yes... I see it now.
Me - Calling the ISP support line, because all traffic stops at the nearest router
Me: Hi. I can't get though to the internet for the last few days. The network is connected. Your router responds.
Rep: Have you tried restarting you modem/router?
Me: Yes, I said that I am getting through to your router.
Rep: Please give me your client number:
Me: It's 1234567
Rep: Thank,you.... Yes I see we have received your latest payment. I will log your complaint and call you ASAP.
Rep(calls back): Hi. Mr JAlexoid. Our network engineers have disabled your local router. Apparently we got a disconnect request from law enforcement, because it was used for DDoS attack two weeks ago. We can't turn it on without their approval...
You are already paying for justice, in the form of taxes. This is not about freedom, it's bout justice that is hijacked by the highest bidder. That has been paid by you in $$$ and your predecessors in blood.
In short, Exchange looks a better alternative than this solution. Microsoft doesn't lie about wanting you to pay for their products and support, these guys are going out of their way to make sure you don't go with the GLP licensed option. They are not proud of being of the F/OSS community, they are ashamed of it.
I agree that OpenXchange is a joke, in all possible scenarios. OpenXchange, because it's backed by a company should already be easy to start with.
Want to see witch OSS projects are easy to start with? MySQL, Tomcat, OpenERP and a lot of others.
+INF. Any solution, including F/OSS one has to make economic sense. OepnXchange does not. Email is not a business solution, where you can consult post sale/implementation. Email servers are very much a commoditised product, because there is no possible differentiation when it comes to email.
A) They hide/don't have a comparison matrix.
B) They hide the fact that there is a Community edition.
C) Even with those facts, the site looks completely unprofessional. Just compare it to OpenERP's site.
D) They get too much OSS publicity for the charade they are running.
Congrats to them as a company. No benefit to OSS world out of it I sense.
wasn't the patent system created so that researchers would build upon existing knowledge? It was the answer to the problem of guild trade secrets not allowing progress in the field.
I.e I should be able to do research and patent the results, while having the patent as an "upgrade" to another patent. This is the most pure result of patents working exactly the opposite as they were intended - stifling research and innovation.
What's the confusion or the overlap? Views are the most basic UI elements, Widgets are builtin UI controls, Fragments are collections of views/widgets, Drawables are objects that you can draw on a Canvas. Canvas vs Paint? How is that confusing? Does it confuse you when a painter uses a canvas and paint?
Windows tax is not only that. But generally speaking, a part of the price is still paid to Microsoft. That is why machines with Ubuntu cost the same as with Windows.
And to mention, if they attack anything that is Linux about android, they are going to have The whole OpenInventionNetwork on their asses! IBM is there BTW. And we all know that IBM can crush just about anyone with patents....
Your genes are likely to be patented, under the current patent system in US. There is a lot $$$ to be gained from suing Google. Why hasn't anyone done it?
will be a big hassle for content providers if they have to encode everything once for web sites, and then a second time for non-web-enabled devices.
It already is. And has been for quite a while. Apple not being the heroes here with requirements for video used in iOS based devices.
finally settling down on a next-generation standard for digital video after more than a decade of proprietary nonsense and terrible cross-device compatability
No it's not. We got past the audio stuff. Yet some issues still remain - there is no lossless audio format standard widely used.
Google actually did. They claimed it publicly, therefore they did. I.e they can't hide behind "We didn't know we were infringing", therefore there is no incentive not to look.

I think this is something you can "Approve" of.(Facebook has to implement this, "Like" is a too strong sometimes...)

So... What will they say to EU hosting companies? DMCA is not a global thing, even though some US judges may believe they have global jurisdiction.
Rehost it on EU servers and show a big FU to Sony on the homepage.

That is why they are suing Microsoft, a convicted abuser of it's monopoly.
What's stopping them from installing said shareware on Ubuntu?
In Italy? Go there and show me, because I sure couldn't find a single one without Windows bundled.
But Microsoft is the monopolist here. Mac OS X wouldn't stand a chance if Apple didn't produce Macs

I was trying to find the screenshot for the same scrotwm using Image Search, imagine my surprise!

There are also legal scholars. That rarely take sides.

Oh, no! The x264 developer is good, it's you who puts words into his mouth and derives different conclusions than he summarises himself.
