Then you have to have licensees within a set period of time of being issued the patent, and must grant free unlimited irrevocable patent rights to all <xml> <Tivotization-proof> <copyleft> <executable level differentiation> <free open source licensed> <software> distributors </xml> on request, on the condition that the patent license applies only to software released under the aforementioned licensing requirements, and a separate license is required for closed source distribution of the same software. In short only community non-commercial projects get to use these patents for free. If the project beats all the licensees, then apparently community efforts are most efficient for the implementation of these claims/algorithms, and it is in the interest of the free market that they are assisted.
Leaving us with Flash, using... H.264! Only for FF of course. I say, Mozilla scream anti-trust, and fucking rape the MPEG-LA in court. I doubt Google is going to chime in, but we can at least hope. And we've still got Nokia, who wouldn't mind to stop paying fees, and don't really love Apple.
I'm sorry. Really. I can't really know how you feel, but... I hope you accept this apology from the world (OK, it's just me... It's all I can do.). Maybe you are to jaded to see the point of this, and I'm just doing what I wish someone would do for me, but still... I wish you luck and happiness, whatever your choices are.
It's an EMP gun. The fact that it operates in a specific frequency is irrelevant. Light is also electromagnetic radiation, albeit with a higher energy - hence the different name.

Or they could buy AMD, and bolt on a x86 decoder, like they (AMD) did with their K9s, and still export the SPARC decoder. A couple of tweaks to Xen, and they've got a unified product line with not so bad performance, offering mind boggling compatibility, IBM style. Also, they've got the cash to get AMD on it's feet, as extra ammunition for Wintel©. Hey, a man can dream, and all that.

It would be very cyberpunk and cool if they try, though. A man can dream, can't he?

You forget that /. is a pothead site. Seriously. I wish we had a drug section. How can I get proposal through?
Oracle?
It would have been tragic, if it weren't so funny.

What's wrong with that idea?
Throw in hardware access and optional static typing and we have a new system/general purpose language.
NetBSD has MMU issues.
