    I don't know why you are being castigated or being labelled some sort of fan boy

    But you are exactly right, the PS2 was supposed to herald a new CPU architecture that would be in every PC by now.

    I do hope it's true this time.

    I'm tired of this architecture, I want bang for buck to live somewhere new for a while, jig things up a bit.

    A shift in the industry would diverting the world's national product into the hands of the fittest.

    Who will have OS's and applications ready the soonest for a radical shift like that ?

  16. Re:GPL is not viable for coprate usage on GP2X Linux Handheld Makers Don't Understand GPL · · Score: 1

    The GPL doesn't need to be any more "company friendly". If you like GPL'd software it is quite clear what you need to do to use/distribute it. You are getting raw material and your only responsibility is if you add value to that raw material, you must contribute more of the same, you got it for "free" and "free" it will stay.

    If you want to make a living selling software then by all means, write your own.
    But don't take what I have given to you and ask me to buy it back.

    just to be specific, they have 2 choices :

    3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:

            a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

            b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

    As they haven't done a), to comply they must do b)

    All my new keyboards are dead, all my old ones are still going.

    I don't know how old this Silcon Graphics one is but it has a "YES Netware Approved" sticker on the bottom and I bought it *used* 3 yrs ago. None of the keytops show's the slightest wear, despite all day use sine it arrived.

    I could hit burglars with the beast and still keep typing.

    even at $400, 2 years is only $4 a week

    I'm sure I'd pay $400 for the gee whizzest keyboard in the world, esp. if no other geek in town has one.

    The bitches'll be on me like gnats on a dog's dick when I attach mine to my laptop at the WiFi hotspot.
