This would still damage OSS. All those pointy-haireds who disallow the use of OSS software because 'no-one is responsible for it' would start to be right.
In the UK at least, when polled people consistently say that they want improved public services rather than reduced taxes. But get them in the polling booth...
Boy, the GPL certainly seems to be essential, given that there are no free software projects that have survived without it, and certainly no major ones.

Sure that's not 50cm?
OS/400 (the OS of the AS/400, no, sorry, the iSeries, no, sorry, the i5) isn't much like any other operating system I know of. All the unicies and Windows all feel like variations on a theme in comparison.

Funny - I've never heard of anyone living in Hove. It's always "Brighton (Hove, actually)".

Why develop in Python?

You should try the Northern line - that way you'd get 45 minutes on some days, 2 hours on others.
there's a company that's building yet another python compiler for the .NET framework

A script that pages you when you get an e-mail from your girlfriend is probably a lot less mission-critical.

It's a kind of Pigeon. See, I do know how email works!
My bosses won't be monitoring my mail - they wouldn't know how. They are all too stup...

Open Source makes likeable mutts instead of blue bloods.
