There's alot of truth in that statement. It also means you can make money by setting up opensource systems for other people (and perhaps you'll have to add a feature or provide support to make the sell)
You could also get paid for simply adding a feature. You could only sell this feature once, which is a big difference with the proprietary model. You can respond to this by simply asking more money off course.
Overall, it's true that Open Source forces you to be more service-oriented as opposed to being product-centered.
Although there undeniably are fundamental muslims, I don't believe us 'liberals' need to 'stop worshipping the altar of diversity and tolerance' and go searching for an Islam vs. everyone else world war. Fundamentalism (Muslim, Christian or something else) should be fought, but I'm sure this isn't a war you fight with guns. War only breeds more fundamentalism.

To see where you're wrong, attach the block of steel to the bottom of the ice cube. Imagine it still floats. now, if you disconnect the steel from the cube, the steel will sink, the ice will become lighter and float some more. The steel won't take up more space, but the cube will take up less. The water level goes down.
This ice-cube theory only holds if the densities are equal.
Just correcting the physics, not saying anything about the enviromental effects...
From the article: Private Internet Relay Chat, or IRC, which is a precursor to the modern instant messaging software, or Usenet news groups that function like bulletin boards.
I still think of instant messaging software as a dumbed down version of IRC and of webbased bulletin boards as poorly implemented frontends for usenet.

Nope, the chicken and the egg it hatched from have the same DNA. Only when creating an egg, something can go wrong (mutate) and result into another type of animal. The egg was first. Unless you follow naming conventions, then the chicken came first by definition.
Actually, the logistical difficulties involved in coordinating the movements of multiple armies along the same railways so that each got to its designated start line at the right time are very much comparable to the logistical difficulties involved in coordinating the movements of multiple tourists along the same railways so that each got to its designated hotel at the right time.
You Americans just wouldn't be able to pull it off:)
Question - can you express the recursive ancestor relation in SQL? You can express a single relation such as grand parent, but not the full relation.
I beg to differ:
Given ParentOf(parent,child)
The ancestors of 'Mary' are:
WITH RECURSIVE Ancestor(anc,desc) AS ( (SELECT parent as anc, child as desc FROM ParentOf) UNION (SELECT Ancestor.anc, ParentOf.child as desc FROM Ancestor, ParentOf WHERE Ancestor.desc = ParentOf.parent) ) SELECT anc FROM Ancestor WHERE desc = "Mary"
SQL might still not be true relational calculus (but then again, it might as well be, I don't know, and the parent doesn't know either), but at least it't possible to express the ancestor relationship.
Now, if only the PostgreSQL guys would implement this...
Given enough uranium or plutonium I could blow up my backyard all by myself. It only requires one suicide bomber to put all the pieces together (literally) untill the critical mass has been exceeded
It has it's own DLL HELL which has nothign to do with Microsoft. There are just many people who are too stupid to understand something similar isn't always the same.
Then call it something else.
This way people are reacting like:"Oh look, Linux made the same mistake MS made x years ago, and which they already fixed by the way. Linux is so stupid, and Windows is so much more advanced."
using 60 libraries (which get installed by default anyway) is not so terribly bad in my book. But if you thisnk this is an wrong and an error, then it's a GnuCash-error, not a Linux-error.
This is the first time I encounter FUD in a Slashdot article, and honestly, I expected that many readers would.ve already pointed out what I'm about to.
Unix and Linux don't have a DLL Hell like MS had. Unices have a quite simple and elegant solution for this problem.
Have you ever looked in your/usr/lib/ directory? The you'll see that most (if not all).so-files are appended with a version number. In contrast with windows this allows you to have two different API's for the same dll. The linker will decide at run-time wich version is the right one, and hop... you're happily on your way.
One more time: Linux doesn't have a DLL HELL.
Now stop whining. Unix has its flaws. This isn't one of them. You're making people nervous for no good reason whatsoever. Thank you.
