Yeah that'd completely break it for the huge number of corps that actually do serious stuff with Open Office.
We use the java stuff extensively for automated document perparation, and removing java would kill dead enterprise products like alfresco (which uses it for document conversion) and , well, pretty much any large scale document processing stuff that isnt on a windows box.
That and it'd murder Base which is pretty much the closest I've seen to an MS-Access type product that isnt actually MS-Access.
To me this is vulcan thinking. The pursuit of peace and happiness are in my view that highest goals of humanity, and if someone is basically happy that they are spending 100+ hours a week digging shitty virtual farms,then thats great.
Its no different to me hitting the pub once a week with my mate and blowing $50 on pints of overpriced australian beer.
Yep. The whole SCO vs Linux thing revolved around the fact that linux had some header files that implemented standard Unix function + structure definitions. Well mostly standard, Linus had goofed a few.
Needless to say, the courts wouldn't have a frigging bar of it.
I doubt Oracle will go the way of SCO. Unlike SCO, Oracle are huge, but I dont fancy their chances in this either.
Half the MySQL people have run off screaming, OpenSolaris is now as good as dead (and with it the last best hope for Solaris itself) , OpenOffice has pretty much lost its shit, and James frigging Gosling, of all people, has basically packed his bags and gone home.
Sure you got the Sun IP. Now what? Hire some 20yos to work on it? Good luck with that shit!
I hope to hell Google kick your ass in court, then build an Enterprise stack out of Davlik, so your left with empty hands.
Your ignoring Sun, now Sun is going away. Congratulations!
It might actually also be really damn useful to the textiles industry. If you can work out a formula that said "For a piece of cloth like this, you need to shake at (say) at x frequency for y minutes to dry", you could make drycleaning a much easier process. Theres a LOT of applications for this.
And meanwhile the Tea-party crackpots will still be out there marching in the street demanding the richest 1% get a tax cut (and because they ALSO demand the deficit gets paid off, guess who has to wear the difference, with higher tax, poor and middle class folks).
Of course I'm sure the Tea-partys wealthy backers like the billionaire Kosch brothers are more than aware of the fact the dumb bastards marching in those rallies will be the first to be suffer for it. A movement run by sociopaths and peopled with suckers,
Your a good man, and you should be proud of yourself for with-holding those charges:)
I had a similar thing. When I was a teenager, I got pretty badly assaulted for my wallet by some other young guys, leaving me in hospital with blood loss , a busted kneecap and a pulverized nose. The cops pretty quickly caught the kids, and pressed charges. Anyway, a week later I was visited by the mother of one of the kids, an elderly Aboriginal woman (Im in australia) and she basically gave me his story and the story of the family, and it was clear these people where destitute poor, completely wracked with alcoholism, and regardless, any fine paid was going to be paid by the parents not the kid (first offence, juvenile, at the time in the 1980s that usually just meant a fine here). So I spoke with my Dad, and instead we aproached the cops and asked the cops to drop the charges on the condition the kid came and helped my dad rebuild the driveway and back patio. 2 months of backbreaking working on weekends with my conservative old man. At the end of it, the kid was a new person, polite, genuinely remorseful about what he did to me and keen to get himself an apprenticeship as a builder.
I bumped into him about 5 years ago, and he was a married roofing tiler with 3 kids and his own business. A little bit of compassion and the firm guidance of a firm but fair adult can turn any juvenile delinquent around.
Yes. Especailly when there have been multiple investigations by other Government, and institutional panels that have found over and over again that the whole climategate thing was a giant beat up of a couple of shit-talking guys who didnt understand their FOI responsibilities. *ALL* the claims of scientific malpractice where extensively examined and the CRU and related scientists like Mann came out smelling of roses.
Just because conservative anti-scientists dont like global warming, well shit neither does anyone else. But pretending its not real and conducting witchhunts against good hard working scientists is not only absusive politicization of science. It may well end up getting us all killed in the long run.
In international trade its the clients state that has juristiction (under Gutnick et al). So for instance if your dealing with an Australian customer, Australian law is what applies. If your dealing with Brits, brit law applies. If you dont like, dont enter a contract with them.
That was established in the Gutnick decision where it was held that the place of publication in defamation is wherever the reader was. The principle was loosely portable outside of that.
Oh yikes.If that links anything to go by, it looks like theres a whole history of kooks attempting these, to the point where many experts on the topic just refuse to read papers claiming to solve P = or != NP

And heres the Magic. Linus learned his style by closely reading Andrew Tanenbaum's books, and reading the Minix code. Which of course is what your supposed to do with Minix. So have most OS coders who had their education back then.
The end result of course is that everyones code ends up looking like Tanenbaums , which is not a bad thing, the guy is up there with the gods in terms of importance to O/S theory.
The problem seems to be that these clinics where presenting people not qualified to make truly informed decisions (ie folks like you or I who are not doctors or scientists) an authoritive sounding advice that says "This will cure you!", when in fact it was bunkum, and dangerous bunkum at that.
But seriously, this Conroy dude seems to just sit around all day trying to think up new ways of fucking over the internet and its freedoms. Well that and drinking childrens blood. Pretty sure theres some vampire shit going on too.
Worst part is, australia now has the "tony blair curse". You have very illiberal progressives in, and if you kick them out you get a conservative party thats even worse for human rights. Can't bloody win in this country.
It's not a journalists job to know about developing software. That's what they hired you for.
When somebody hands you a project, it's your job as the programmer to say, "This project will take X months to complete; require these tools and resources, which cost $Y; and will delay the other project(s) I am working on. Do you still want me to start this project?" And if they say, "Well we need it in half that time for $0," it's your job to explain why that isn't reasonable.
Your in for a rude shock when you get your first real job kid. You can state, scream, shout, draw diagrammes, write reports all you want explaining how shit has to be, but management will still go "Yeah whatever nerd, get it finished by tomorrow and no you cant have that memory upgrade, and no you cant have a dev server, code repository or any other word we cant understand here in accounting. Anyway, my son said you dont need it, and he's the top in his senior high computing class.".
Theres a reason Zappa might well be using Pro Tools.
Its because he already was. Zappa was one of the original pro-tools users, before his death. I cant find a reference online, but I do remember him marvelling in one of the music magazines about pro-tools crossfades and how he used them extensively.
Now the thing with musical software, is people tend to pick a DAW and stick with it. Pro-tools , other than the hardware capabilities which is where pro-tools does shine , is no greater, or necesarily worse than say cubase or sonar, but people stick with what they know and stick there.
That said, he might well have been impressed with Sonar's score transcribing capabilities. Cakewalk was always good at that stuff.
What's ardour's midi capabilities like these days? I havent used it since early versions (when admitedly setting up JACK taxed me so far I ended up reformatting and returning to cubase.
Posting from a mac here, so dont get me wrong. But apples market increase is not about macs, its about iphones ipods and now ipads. Macs are great things, aint no doubt about it, solid well engineered and damn reliable machines, but its still undoubtably a minority platform.
"Fox "News" are a bunch of partisan frauds who are paid to lie through their teeth, and they are very good at it."
Theres a few sites on the net that look at the corporate backgrounds of most of Fox's "Experts". Almost all of them are in some way linked to the corporations they comment positively on (Ie defense experts who get on recomending america should buy a certain missile, then it pans out they are being paid off by the missiles manufacturer, or health experts claiming cigarettes are harmless who pan out to be employed by a PR company working for tobacco firms, and so on).
Its like they don't actually hire anyone at all qualified to comment, but instead let their advertisers nominate "experts".
Fair and balanced my arse. Fox is an astonishingly biased news. Remember folks, these same people complain about "liberal bias", despite study after study demonstrating a conservative lean in american news reporting.

Not if your trading internationally.
