Yes, Openness and Sharing as a result of no copyright.... or _maybe_ people will stop making things public because there will be no way for them to protect their work, thus no incentive to make it! Jesus christ, try having some fucking forethought.
Speak for yourself, not every person on slashdot is a hypocritical fascist like you. You seem for IP rights to freelancers and people on "your side", but once a corporation claims IP rights you run around wetting your pants! And there is a reason artists get bad deals with companies -- just imagine the number of failed artists signed to these companies! The companies sustain huge losses from them, with relatively few artists from which to make up the difference. The economy works by tough competition.... not federally marginalizing every large corporation like you would seem to want them to be.
You're right, PIs can't search because they don't own your house. The rental companies own the car, and stated in the contract that they would do that, wether or not they put a big red arrow to it is irrelevant, people should read what they sign!! It's that simple!
It seems to me that it is entirely possible to write C code without buffer overflows, just look at OpenBSD, and the alternative is certainly no better! Could you imagine trying to run an entire operating system written in JAVA?? Turn on the computer, come back in a week when it's done booting! Aside from the speed, there are things which simply can't be done in other languages, C/C++ is just more powerful. C won't die, though it may evolve.
Cell phones should NOT be banned from cars! True, some simple-minded people can't handle it, but what about those who can? If I can drive perfectly fine while talking on a cell phone, and have been for years without any incident, but then a law is passed about it, I become a criminal........ where is the justice in that? If you kill someone because it's icy out and you didn't break soon enough at a light, or if you kill someone because you weren't paying attention due to a cell phone, it's still your fault! and it's the same outcome for the victim, thus it should be the same punishment!
But it's not a ticket!! The contract quite clearly stated that he would be fined, and he was. But he did NOT recieve a ticket! No points on his licence, no auto insurance hike, just $150. Perfectly fair and legal, it's his own dumbass fault for not reading what he signed.
Having a class with a few functions just to access private data members is ridiculous! A struct would work just as well, require MUCH less memory, and be faster! Creating a class just obfuscates the code. The only reason I can see that it's done is because in every CS class I've taken the teacher/professor beats the idea into the students' heads. Sometimes to unnecessary extremes. I have been told that rather than simply having
public: int foo;
I should do:
public: void setfoo(int x) {foo = x;} int getfoo() {return foo;} private: int foo;
IMHO this does nothing to set back various involved industries, this is simply a very clevar, and interesting hack. Maybe its good they didnt release it in the end, maybe it's not. But i'd like to know how they did it? maybe some source? If streaming an mpeg2 tv signal accross a lan is the only goal, anyone could've used a TV tuner card and software for years now, that's why this is not a true "innovation", but rather a delicate hack, in the purest form of the word.
Yes, they had a right to take it off their servers, however they are trying to claim copyright on it so that he can't take it outside of the university! That is the biggest travesty here!
What I want to know is how this will affect people who legitimately copy CDs, not just for backups, but for example, TDK makes AudioCD Recordables and when you buy those, you're also paying a royalty to the RIAA, just like with Cassette tapes, therefore its 100% legal to copy. People wont be happy when they pay and extra $.50 for the legal Audio-CDR and then find it scrambled!
FYI --.cx is for Christmas Island, not "the rest of the world" (ISO3166) The reason it's known at all is the country's offer of a free domain name to any non-profit, open-source project
also, most cable i've seen (including my own) is 128KB/s, i wouldn't be -pay $50/mo. for a mere 16KB/sec... Flemer's, Read This: yes, i know the difference between Kb and KB!
I was kicked out of Hope2K for no good reason, (I threw an AOL cd before the cDc presentaion) and I was the only one thrown out for that although everyone was doing it, way to make an example of me, serves him right!
Actually someone did try to get "In God We Trust" off the coins, it was going to goto the supreme court, but they refused to hear it. I don't think it was the ACLU though.
theres a big difference between "releasing" to the general public, and selling to the general public! If an artist cant make money off their work, why would they bother? napster DOES steal from the artists, and from the record companies, it doesn't matter how much we hate them; stealing is wrong, and will not solve any of the problems we're aiming against! copyright, and intellectual property laws wont be repealed because a bunch of geeks like free stuff
What I would like to know is, because the Crusoe is in two parts: the VLIW cpu, and the Code Morphing engine, why couldn't code bypass the morphing engine, and execute strait on the VLIW? The code morphing engine is there to essentially emulate an x86, and can get as fast as a 700mhz, meaning that the VLIW must be significantly faster with out having to deal with the emulation. Why couldn't this overhead be simply bypassed to create faster applications that are designed for it, while still allowing x86 code to be run properly?

Wrong. You can play partial Divx's in RealPlayer.... although i do agree that it's a bullshit post.

Now that is honestly ridiculous, don't you think?

good argument there, i mean, i was shooting heroin 3 times a day, but i read your post, and DAMN! thank god you saved me, i owe you my life. dumbass.

what the hell does IANAL mean?
that would just serve to confuse the poor little kids, think about the children!
Buffer Overflows!!! a REAL skill to learn!
i want the links too

No, not DirectX
