I think the confusion here is coming from using one term to mean two things. I think most everyone here is considering dual-licensed code to be one complete work which is available under a choice of licenses.
Theo however seems to be talking about a composite work consisting of code available under two different licenses, requiring the whole to be distributed under both simultaneously.
As to which case we're talking about here? Who the hell has time to rtfa and figure that out..
Go here to find out how to (most likely) fix your suspend problem. Read the comments there before trying anything - I highly reccomend the advice about using dpkg-divert instead of mucking with too many scripts. If after that Hibernate works but suspend doesn't, add a "-f" to the s2ram command in *pause for breath*/usr/lib/hal/scripts/linux/hal-system-power-suspen d-linux
A vast number of regularly updated packages. Put simply, I can emerge almost anything, whereas every other distribution I've used, sooner or later I come across a package I need which doesn't have an RPM or what have you, and I have to build my own complete with the dependency hell that can entail.
More than that, almost half the time you can install an updated package not yet in Portage by renaming the most recent ebuild to match the new version number.
If that fails, you can invest a few hours and learn how to write your own ebuilds... It's insane how easy it really can be to get any bleating edge bit of software running.
So since SCO have questionably violated the GPL with the Linux kernel, aren't they not allowed to distribute the GPL-licensed components like KDE and MySQL with their product?
Nope. The GPL is a license, and can only apply to one product at a time. However, section 5 of the GPL might get a little closer to what you're looking for:
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.
Seeing as The SCO Group has claimed in court that the GPL is unenforceable and void, one might wonder if SCO has actually accepted the terms of the GPL (or at least done so in good faith). If they haven't - then they've been infringing up a storm, haven't they?
If you want revision control that's flexible network-wise, it doesn't get much better than Arch. You can use any filesystem for the repository that your box can see. NFS, FTP, HTTP, SCP, it's all good.
Want Python? Use Cannonical's implementation of the Arch protocol, Bazaar. It's got nummy Python goodness baked in, along with better support for digitally signed repositories (via GPG).
$DEITY help you if you want to use either on Win32, however. The Arch protocol requires both a real filesystem, and an OS that can use case-sensitive semantics properly.

An insightful point. Of course you're assuming that the uber-admins in question worked with the directory structure and not against it.
Of course, it's not true horror until you run across a box with startup scripts written in *shudder* PHP.
If I were stuck in the questioner's position, I'd be seriously considering malware as a publication method. After all, having your political message spamed by dictator@repressive.gov might carry some weight with your target audience.
More importantly, the NYT writeup quotes Washington State Representative Murray in saying that Microsoft promised him support this year and executed the about face during the legislative session - not before.
If they had quietly but public stated before the session that they had different priorities this year, we'd still be angry with them - we just wouldn't be out for blood.
Microsoft's mid-session compromise is what killed this, had they chose to abandon thier allies earlier on, there might have been a chance to recover.
Of course, it's up to you all if you want to accept the word of a Politician over Steve Ballmer. I admit, it does sound kind of like a coin flip...
Not that it'd ever happen, but could you imagine Paramount publicly saying something like "Even we admit Trek has been sucking, but we love the money, What the *hell* do you people want, anyway?" and then running a season of pilots for new Trek series.
Think about it, you could try all the wildass ideas that have been floated by both the fan community and the festering pit Berman calls an imagination:
1.) Excelsior (Sulu time!) 2.) JMS goes postal 3.) Starfleet Academy 90210 4.) New Frontiers 5.) Night of the living Kirk (What are there, three different books where he comes back from the dead? It'd be like South Park in reverse! Kids like South Park, right?) 6.) Star Trek Timecop (It's the timeship Relativity! To prevent the birth of evil terrorists, they jump Seven of Nine around in time as a sexy assasin!) 7.) Data: Martian Nights (In an attempt to corner the geek girl demographic, Data retires from Starfleet and opens a Night Club on Mars. Eery episode features a four minute sequence when Spiner takes the stage and croons while the plot advances.)
And many more! After running the season of pilots, Paramount could finally gauge a proper drek-to-profit ratio from the ratings.
Look, Perl rubs me the wrong way. I loathe it, and it makes me wanna hurl. More than that - it's Postgres that rocks my DB world. But personally, I think I'd at least read up on LJ's infrastructure before bashing it.
I mean they've got what? 2.5 million active users?
And how many hits are DB-backed?
Sweet fuck, man. How many servers do you think they're wasting? Assuming no redundancy (ha!), right now they're sitting at an approximate ratio of about 25,000 users per server! What morons they must be to not be squeezing more out of them. (And yes I know that I'm way oversimplifing, but... really?)
Badnarik loses all credibility with me when he throws this tired line out there, which is clearly just a lame attempt to defeat the "wasted vote" scenario.
Agreed.
The sad truth is that Bush and Kerry really are too close to choose between based on thier merits. I've voted for third party canidates before, and if the only question was who could best manage the country, I'd vote for one again.
That said, I don't plan to vote for Kerry. I plan to cast the most effective vote I can *against* Bush. That just happens to be the Kerry box on the ballot.
Like I said, It's sad. But it's also reality. This election, like any with an incumbent is a referendum on that incumbent's performance.
A message has to be sent. To the rest of the world, and to the party machine that produced Bush.
This technology allows you to "print" the screen onto a silicon substrate. *NOT* to paper. The cool thing about this though, is that it can be used for flexible or roll-up-able screens.
Okay... it seems to me the fulcrum of opinion around here is shifting to the idea that the posting of the full M$-ifed Kerberos spec was an infringement and as for everything else, MS can just sit and spin.
What am I missing here? If you're discussing how someone mangled the protocol, don't you have to look at the *entire* protocol to see what was changed and what wasn't?
If you're also discussing shady terms for seeing this information, don't you need to see them (the terms) as well?
With this line of thinking in mind, posting the entire spec *was* fair use.
So I'll ask again? What the hell am I missing here that makes posting the entire spec a copyright breach?

Bogus? I thought they tied it up pretty well. They said that high temp Hydrogen generation was showing 60% efficency. These are high temp reactors.
Instead of running a turbine and transmitting electricity to a hydrogen generation plant, you could just use the reactor as a direct heat source.
Dunno. Which is worse, AIDS or Syphilis?

You tell me a good defense against a thermonuclear detonation, and then I'll have no problem with having "open source" nukes.
'til then all that can be done is security through obscurity. Something most of know doesn't work for very long.
