Were it not the witnesses who were lying? Did you never, ever lie? I did lie for sure. That happens. Says nothing bad about the law as it is, in my opinion.
It like buggy software. Yes, it does not work. It is a lie. Yet, we still write it.
is why in the world foreign goverments allow for use of Microsoft products? I remember Windows being used on machine in Russian nuclear research facility. Secret and what not. It was before networking, but now it seems they should be concerned about backdoors and other problems. Remember Chernobyl virus in Asia? Sure every single copy of MS crap was pirated in that place I mentioned. I guess you would never be able to sell software, rather than support, in Russia, unfortunately... Not that I am proud of it..
and I am NOT a lawyer or even close. Thank goodness
..her at SlashDot? Law is the most Open Source industry of them all, including even natural science. Every rule, ruling, piece of evidence is available for your review. You get paid for your commitment to study and work and for your talent. And you get paid a lot for that, not for your posseion of some patented knowledge that you counterpart in court does not have. That would a good model for the software industry, do not you think?
short int month_since_checkup = 12*(current_two_digit_year - last_checkup_year)+ month_since_april; if(month_since_checkup > 12 && today_date == April_1) { shut_down_that_critical_valve(); // and who cares that other valve is working OK }

When an unexpected blizzard stops business, damages property, and takes lives, you don't see a whole rash of lawsuits against meteorologists for not warning of the danger
Russian meteorology Center was sued by the Moscow government for fialing to predict some strong winds. I will bet something like that should have happened in US - gee, people sue for much smaller things...
...That little chunk of code that controls traction in your new car can kill you with the same efficiency as the code in your heart pacer.
IMO, the best thing to do is to require that ALL software code used in ALL life critical applications is disclosed and open for audit. Companies can find other ways to protect IP - hardware design, just having the best quality etc.
Yesterday they carefully omitted extend of their downtime on the "status" page. It was dead for several hours. They lie about the router - a host on the same subnet was up. What will they invent this time?
..I would guess that's true only for the part WEST of the Greenwich meridian (large part of England, Spain and Portugal). Brush up your geography, mercan..

Would you say that after being mugged on a street? That guy just tried to make money, you know..

..write code for nuclear powerplant after a meeting... ;)))
Why would dates be included in a fission reactor
short int month_since_checkup = 12*(current_two_digit_year - last_checkup_year)+ month_since_april;
if(month_since_checkup > 12 && today_date == April_1) {
shut_down_that_critical_valve();
// and who cares that other valve is working OK
}
And it all hardwired into some small chip...

What their excuse now?
...it is good the "Open Source" is a trademark.
;)
Unless they pay ESR enough....
...took out the status page - with the record of all their crashing.. Let's tell this story to everybody.
I have two major commercial statistical/visualization aplications.
One does not work at 24bpp, other at 32bpp,
both suck terribly at 8 or 16.
Never have seen anything like this in Windows world.
Also fonts under X are beyond terrible.
Still use X. Sign.. Too many other good things...
do they have replacemant always ready...Just 8 min downtime this time...
Who did it?
..run it on P-II 350 with 128Mb. Or that what
:)
they claimed when the site was up.
But I think it is a T3e running -g version of NT
in emulation mode...
Or, well, I do not think.. Nevermind
It looks like a fiasco... Why in the world
they went for this. With IPv4 nothing is stable, if you fuck with it long and hard enough...
You would not leave it running?
...or was it somebody else.. ;)
Yesterday they carefully omitted extend of their downtime on the "status" page. It was dead for several hours. They lie about the router - a host on the same subnet was up.
What will they invent this time?
And just on this particular router?
And a box with only port 80 open?
Real life test?
I say bullshit.
Due to whether???
Jerks.
I have found a lengthy discussion about their license requirements. So do I need to buy one? How much does it cost. - Any links?
