This is an interesting feature. The problem is that since nothing else support GRUB integration, this actually drives user away. People using this will have their GRUB booting OS not running kdm by default (unless, of course, until they modify their grub.conf)
Actually, Oracle has donated some project to Open Source community... Yes those are not successful projects, but this is not the first time Oracle do things like this. Examples include
EclipseLink, Toplink Essentials (these are essentially the same thing), Apache Trinidad...
I‘ve 'hot plug' (or unplug? forgotten) a sound card. It was really hot as it touched the modem card in the adjacent slot. A small flame appeared from the modem card.
The modem card became out of order because a wire on the PCB was burnt... A little piece of aluminium foil and adhesive tape repaired it.
They initiated the OpenDarwin project, and killed it after the kernel is mature enough.
The only contribution that I known of is WebKit. It was taken from khtml of the KDE project, and therefore are obliged to return the changes. They did not (or could not) return the code to KDE. Instead, they released it as a separate project, incompatible with the original khtml engine.
Go to http://www.opensource.apple.com/release/mac-os-x-1066/, I don't see anything that voluntury contribution to F/OSS besides device drivers (which are useless without Apple hardware).
The major problem is if you a getting a below average salary, it will be difficult to find a new job. It seems employers assume you have below average ability as well.
The only solution is to jump around and around, especially in the first few years.
To be precise, the US's strategy isn't 'Let them burn through their easily harvested natural supplies...'. Instead it is 'Let's rob their natural supplies...'.
Does any observatory around the world keep the record (radiation of different frequencies..., etc) around that portion of the sky? If the signal was strong enough, we will be able to witness the birth of a blackhole!
MySQL: AFAIK, the breakup is ignited by Monty (the original developer), who sold the product to Sun for 1 billion, demanding Oracle to give everything for free. All these before Oracle was able to do bad anything to the project. And I think PostgreSQL is a better FOSS RDBMS. OpenOffice: Actually I don't know what bad thing had Oracle done to cause the breakup. But surely the developer know it better. I think this can be a sample case on how Oracle treats FOSS projects. Java: As others said, Oracle has always been selling Jrockit. So making a for-free and a for-fee JVM seems acceptable... as long as they are compatible.
Actually, I would kick MySQL from the "most valuable software assets", and add (Open)Solaris and VirtualBox to the list... (Open)Solaris: This is obviously an evil thing Oracle doing to the FOSS community. But I am not sure whether it's reasonable to extrapolate to other projects. VirtualBox: This seems something that's impossible to draw Oracle's interest (Oracle sells XEN based Oracle VM). It is really surprising that it still has quite regular releases...

Even the PDF's are character based, not showing images of the fonts.
Before I install the font, I can't tell whether the PDF reader is displaying an arbitrary glyphs from other fonts. Or... what's meant by 'Embedded' font in a PDF??
After I install the font, I don't need to see those pdf for font sample

Are you sure the VPS service provider is trustworthy?

Besides plugging OpenOffice into Eclipse, I don't know what work has IBM did. And obviously this is definitely not nice.

... It makes a very bad impression if you follow a support instruction and end up on a webpage which does not exist ...
Never mind, it is common on oracle.com anyway.
Is Android considered linux?

The summary said " Americans are buying less tech stuff and making it last longer"?
No worry, manufacturer are making everything last shorter
Is Facebook releasing this to rationalize their creation of ineffective code?
Maybe the smaller vendors have fewer customer so there is smaller chance to detect the problem.
Also, it said "the majority of smaller vendors", not all smaller vendors were fine.
Then what good things had Apple done with F/OSS?

I guess he is just hoping to get sponsors for his experiments by providing him a lot of gold!

It would be a failure if it replies on other forms of attentions.
And the reality is that vision is the most important perception.

Should we really be rewarding the firms with the fastest lawyers?
Yes.
The law is made by the lawyers, for the lawyers.

Even a question about 'Best Way To Publish an "Indie" Research Paper?' draws much attention.
What would happen is the research paper is really published?
