Most music consumers don't care if their CDs have DRM or not
This is true only as long as the "CD"s continue to play on their electronics. If someone has an expensive stereo that can't read the new discs, will that person go out and get a new stereo, or complain about the discs?
Remember, these copy-protection issues affect more than just copying.
In theory, yes. How many combinations of frequency and code are there? My uncle used to work in a Ford factory, and every car that rolled off the assembly line together used the same key. It's possible that they keyboards have a similar problem.
No, the decision specifically allows for other OS's. An OS is not middleware (defined at the end of the decision as non-OS software that comes with the OS or its updates).
Looks like they've got it covered. Microsoft must allow vendors to change installed apps, unless significant modifications are made to the UI. OK. Microsoft must make public all APIs, except those that are listed in section J:
Anything that compromises security (anti-piracy, DRM, anti-virus, licensing, encryption, authentication).
Anything the US government allows them to keep hidden
So how much can they get away with with the fairly loose requirements of the first point?
Hey...I have an idea (not that it will be accepted). Why don't we stop allowing registration-required links on the front page? Including free-registration. We can now find many sources for the same story with Google News, so there's no reason to keep linking to NYT.
Of course, I may be wrong. Even openbsd.org runs Solaris!
If you read their FAQ, you'll see that the reason they run Solaris is bandwidth. OpenBSD.org gets their bandwidth by running on SunSite at the University of Alberta. They don't control their own server.
I looked at that article, and couldn't find any real numbers in it. They grouped the *BSDs together, so you can't tell where OpenBSD fit, but probably a small fraction of the 9% for BSD in general.
IIRC, in the "original" series, several of these occurences did, in fact, happen together. While I'm not sure of when the Zensunni became the Fremen, the Bene Gesserit, the Guild of Navigators, and the Mentats were founded during the Butlerian Jihad. It's quite possible that the discovery of spice on Arrakis may have had something to do with everything happening at once.
Yup. Just log in as a user, go to your preferences page, and select 'messages'. You can chose how many virtual points you want to add or subtract for each mod type.
When they took ipfilter out, OpenBSD didn't have a packet filter. In order to address this issue, pf was written. After pf was written, OpenBSD had a packet filter. There was a time, after ipfilter was removed, but before pf was added, that OpenBSD didn't have a packet filter.
I understand. Since you put it this way, I have to agree with Microsoft's position. And, I believe they should have contracts signed by someone from KMart. Or are their Open and Select licenses click-through as well (bad decision if they are, IMHO)
Not necessarily even a high-speed process. Real-time means that there are time limits involved. Technically, a payroll system is real-time, but its time limit is rather long (1 pay period).
Note that real-time also means that there may be a minimum delay as well as the maximum delay. In space shuttle controls, for example, if you need to do a 4-second burn, you don't want it to end too early or too late.

Since I have no mod points, I'll have to vote with a message. I agree with the name Zilla.
Would that conflict with the use of Perl in CGI pages?
Nope. According to Yahoo Stocks, they're worth about half what they were in 2000.
But nothing sucks like an Electrolux.
You aren't necessarily using GLibC. GCC works just as well with other LibC implementations, so you can use your "Big Iron"'s own LibC and LibC++.

A compliance officer will be assigned to ensure that MS keeps up their end of the order.
No, because these don't change the look-and-feel of the system.
Hmm...doesn't "reasonable and non-descriminatory" prohibit them from prohibiting use in GPL products?

I don't remember where it was; I may be confused with his son's books.

iff = "if and only if". It is spelled correctly.

In this case, Microsoft should be able to easily prove their case.
I understand. Since you put it this way, I have to agree with Microsoft's position. And, I believe they should have contracts signed by someone from KMart. Or are their Open and Select licenses click-through as well (bad decision if they are, IMHO)
I thought that it had been determined that first-sale applied to software. Is that only for home users?
