This is, of course, making the big assumption that the GCC guys would accept help from Red Hat.
Even in the open source world there are still egos and politics. And, if Red Hat simply had taken the current rev and worked on it further, you may have ended up with another compiler and not GCC 3.0.
I would pay $4.95 a month as long as I could be assured that no one at RIAA saw any of the money, and that no one at the labels saw any of the money. The only people that should be getting any of the subscription fees are the artists (for obvious reasons) and Napster (for developing the software, and hosting the central server).
The cool thing about Porsche's 6-speed transmission is that the gears are pushed closer together because of the addition of a sixth gear, although the sixth gear is taller than the older fifth gear was. My friend's Corvette has a 6-speed transmission but sixth is a very tall gear that is only useful for highway cruising to increase your MPG (I think his car revs about 1700 RPM at 70 MPH in sixth).
I believe that article only refers to ISPs removing unauthorized copyrighted content from their own servers when notified. It does not (or, at least, should not) extend to ISPs removing content from their users' computers, which is what would have to happen in Napster's case.
They didn't send out an ad under the pretense that it was "real information". They made a remix of their song (with them talking over the music) available for download from their computer via Napster.
Remember, you never get the MP3 unless you request it.
What makes you think Canada would be any better? Assuming that they don't assimilate any changes we make to our copyright and patent policies; I'd still take our personal freedom over Canada's (future) lax IP policies.
Are you mad? MacOS X is a true NOS, Windows 2000 can't even aspire to that yet! The stuff MacOS X can do with PDFs is amazing! OpenGL support is built in! Apple is giving people a CLI, Microsoft is taking it away!
Open Source zealots don't believe in holding back software's release due to bugs. They think it's best to release it early and buggy and let everyone try to fix it.
Personally, I think it's best to refine the product before release and then when other bugs are found, fix those.
Exactly! I don't know why everyone is so upset about AOL/Warner. I don't need Yosemite Sam & AIM anywhere near as much as I need Windows (since most everyone else uses it, and wants me to).
AOL isn't scoffing at the "standards". First off, their isn't a standard. Secondly, if a standard comes about it'll be formed from a commitee of a bunch of companies like Microsoft. Thirdly, if a standard is agreed upon, AOL has stated that they will evaluate the technical merits of the standard and conform AIM to those standards if it is worthy.
It's their infrastructure, they can decide who gets to use the service and who doesn't. That's the end of it! Linux users shouldn't expect to be able to use AOL Instant Messenger (or its infrastructure) until after AOL for Linux has been released. (AOLinux?)
