To clarify a bit: even if they start selling it, they are only required to provide the code to their customers. So, RedHat would have to buy a product from them, or get the code from one of their customers who are willing to share.
This, and Assange's case clearly show that there is something wrong with Swedish justice system. These arrests must have been influenced/initiated/forced by politicians.
In a healthy country, justice system is independent, that also should apply to law enforcement system to some extent.
We criticize Russia for Pussy Riot case, but we have similar problem in Western Europe as it seems.
It doesn't say anything about how this actually works and how it differs from existing solutions. And, hey, most developers aware of SQL injection / XSS etc already protect their apps. Rails has got both, PHP frameworks have, Java had it since like for ever (2001?). What's the point of this article?
doesn't make any sense. Pink Floyd's music is meant to be listened to as a whole, albums are (the good ones) carefully prepared and are one piece of music story.
I don't know any modern distribution that is using spatial mode for Nautilus windows. Ubuntu tried that and it was only 1 or 2 releases they kept this default setting. Can you help me out with listing distributions that this change will affect somehow?
True multiplatform (Sparc/Linux/Solaris/Windows) - got it.
Good performance on Linux - checked.
I didn't use CNQ3 to be honest and you brought my attention. Could you please explain to me why it's any better than ioquake3? Me and my bored sysamdim colleagues will be happy to hear;).
why would I want to run it instead of ioquake3? I think most of long-term hardcore quakers already have their servers configured, other can easily play with ioquake/cpma too. Not sure if they make any profit out of it...
Is it Intel that paid NVidia or the other way around? Having support for SLI is defo good thing for NVidia and for Intel, the question is who should care more.
The whole idea of playing Half Life is not to go outside with real guns and kill aliens, but to sit in front of your laptop and killing them with mouse clicks.
If I wanted to kill aliens with real guns, I could do that without starting my PC... right?
Well yes, pro-business government is in power in Canada. But as far as I can tell, patenting business methods is anti-business and anti-competition, so current government shouldn't allow them if they really are what you say they are.
As a software developer and small player in this market i must agree. I don't use Microsoft's products, nor I make living from selling/using them, but that doesn't change the fact you can't criticize Microsoft for playing the rules of the game.
However, what you can blame Microsoft for is not trying to change the rules. They seem to be happy with things the way they are. I won't bring quotes from Bill Gates from past saying software patents is stupid, just go and google it.
The same applies to IBM and other big vendors, possibly with the exception of Sun and Novell (but go and figure out how these two ended up...).
These companies lobby very successfully in favor of software patents. They act together, as a team. They profit from their actions and other companies suffer. I can't think of different way of naming it than a CARTEL.
They are doing this different way than other cartels do. They are not fixing prices, but use law system to enforce their privileged positions and make life of other companies much more difficult and - most important - expensive. This means their products are also more expensive, and here is real intention of having software patents system in place - not to allow new players to enter the game. This is a cartel, but I don't know if EU/US governments will ever realize it.
From images on Roman coins and walls, you could get an idea how original version of the instrument looked like. What these guys re-created is version from Bach's time, and after watching the video, I admit it matches character of music:). (I love Bach BTW)
go learn about computing in Soviet block. I won't mention Polish "Odra" computer and it's top-of-the-art memory of that time.
I never been to Bulgaria (want to go there), but I guess it can be possible to buy some cheap Acer laptops with Linux there from_a_shelf in cheap computer stores.
It's more about getting "clean" laptop without any OS (or proprietary one) installed and hardware compatibility with free OSes.
I'd love to see some vendor shipping laptops "Tested with Ubuntu, Fedora, NetBSD and OpenSolaris".
From my experience (had 3 laptops with Linux pre-installed so far - 2 with Linpus and one with Xandros!), I always had to switch to something else than what came with laptop. With Acer laptops it was easy - hardware was fairly standard. Other thing was with early version of Eee PC, that had all sorts of problems with drivers for almost a year until I could install "stock" Debian on it.
If I even got a laptop from Dell with Ubuntu, I would: - re-partition and encrypt hard drive - upgrade to something more recent than 8.04
That means I don't need a laptop with Linux pre-installed, but one without Windows, with fairly standard hardware. I think most of you here would agree with me.

Great trolling, man.

Hi,
I think not, you are wrong. If the software is on a BSD license, I can license it to you on different terms even if I *did not* write this software.
I do not have to be the creator of such library to license it to you, in fact I can do any derivative work and license it differently.

That is very useful, thank you ;). But I got your point!
Well... we, Slavs, rock when it comes to logical thinking ;).
And my conclusion is also different than your.
As I use ruby from Monday to Friday, and I don't work over Sat-Sun, does it mean that in my world weekend has 5 days, and, also, I am unemployed?
Err... not sure why CNQ3 is any better?
Voice chat support - ioquake has it.
True multiplatform (Sparc/Linux/Solaris/Windows) - got it.
Good performance on Linux - checked.

he would probably say:
"Please be aware of bugs. I just proven this kernel to be correct, didn't actually run it" ;)

This link looks funny, but I'm full of respect, man.
Did you get smart enough to patent it? ;)
Well yes, pro-business government is in power in Canada. But as far as I can tell, patenting business methods is anti-business and anti-competition, so current government shouldn't allow them if they really are what you say they are.
Do you know if anyone of Palm Pre owners had asked Palm for sources of their modified versions of GPL software they use?
If yes, where did you publish it? ;)

I would like to see original version, though.
We must have even worse climate here in Poland as they seem to be repairing roads for last 20 years with little success...
Ok. They probably won't deliver me slick laptops...
Yeah, I know that. Running 9.04 now with experimental drivers because I couldn't stand:
- poor performance
- system freezes (sic!)
