"You can invest a little money in far-out projects if they have some chance of success - it's called Pascal's Wager. In this case, most scientists would say there is zero chance of success."
seems like this guy (Bob Park) is pissed since BAe forgot to invite him to join this research;)
Anyway, I think it's shortsighted to say something like this has zero chance of success, think just about anything new technology we have today.
There seems to be only one file with mention about GPL, but no GPL within package, so the main issue will be: Is the program GPLed or not?
Very intresting situation because the contract IS AND IS NOT valid at the same time, until some AUTHOR decides which is the case. And that is yet to see.
So go and distribute it, it is GPLed, and you can't bite the authors of program because it is not GPLed. Cool trick.
Well forcing microsoft to open it's source code would not harm consumers in any way, and would give (professional) people chance to see what the hell is going on there, just in case.
Seems to me that Lego might be better for relieving stress, just try, click and go, when meccano is for more serious experimenting. Anyway, good to have choices like always.
Maybe the times of multimillionaire artists just are over. In the future artists work open- source-styled, just for the enjoyment for themselves and everyone else, the only reward being publicity and respect. And they have to work for their food just like everyone else, doing the famous 'real work'. (No offense, I think doing serious art is indeed hard work). Maybe?
Maybe they are just visiting aunt Margareth? Seriously, maybe this is answer to intergalactic travelling. Now I just have to figure out how to make the Sun move where I want it. Hey wait a minute - what if we already are on that travel?
I think Linus should be transported (not with truck) to safe place where no trucks endanger his daily life. Maybe he should also be hidden from public and Microsoft too.
Can't see what is the problem with timezones since nobody ever sleeps on this business.;)
Seriously (or not so) speaking, I wish the good old virtual reality should come soon! Imagine the ease of things, just reach up and pull the calculator from clouds, or humm some melody in your mind and the orchestra plays it without you writing single piece of note.;)
I find melodies very interesting thing. When I place some tunes after each other, and publish it first in the world, none other has permission to play them and sell the music without giving me the credits. When you think what music basically is, pieces of vibrating air in specific order, and I have the "rights" for it, doesn't it sound (sorry) absurd idea? I just can't get it. How can one own such a thing?
When reading the article I came up same thoughts about Borlands agenda becoming new Microsoft, hopefully something that is not possible. I have used Delphi for three years and I think it is very good tool, since time is money. I am very eager to see what Kylix will be like. Let's just hope they won't be blinded with money.
Since VCL comes with the sources, I don't think GPL is totally impossible, but that is something for us to see.
Somehow the chapter 10 reminds me of books by Philip K. Dick, and that is no good, no sir. Even when I do like Dick's books, I'd rather left those issues only to be fiction.

Yes I can picture it.

you bloody troll you. they contribute ease of use = more users = more potential contributors.

Didn't that japanese banker beat mr. Gates just
a few weeks ago?
cisco wants its share of os-markets, speculating
:)
about making somekind of netpc-wince-tcpip-os-hybrid.
just a wild guess.
Very well, maybe my sense of humour isn't very
popular, and that's okay, I can live with it,
but HOLY FUCK PEOPLE, it was a FUCKING JOKE!
Sheesh... fucking stupid americans.
well, gotta say, Microsoft _does_ have power.

phew, I almost thought they forgot it.
Fortunately they remembered, 8 Gb should be
just enough for the swapfile.
Ingenious idea! I love it! Maybe the title could
be something like 'Matrix of the Trolls'?

Here is an url where you can ask why is censored. Few thousand of these just might do something, I hope at least.

Phil Roberts and Clive Longbottom. Now if I had to come up with some fake names claiming to be 'experts'...
here is an url for that mystic vnc :)

Well, wide is more natural for your eyes, since they are located horizontally.

And everyone is automatically assuming it is written in english. Oh my, oh my.
Well that is what you get being all alone out there far away all by yourself and so on...

my bet is...France is building it's own Echelon! There you have it.
