because we all know that procedures and functions are evil. Who want to go to hell just for a little convienience!? Oh, it's tempting, but just not worth it. God likes pure OOP. Don't think that means C++ style multi-paradigms OOP if you want it type OOP? That kind of OOP is condemned... stupid... and condemned!!!

this is why the computers rise up and take over the world.
You told it to think -it- was cool... it should have been saying "you are cool"... man, will the humans never learn or will the computers simply have to continue to rise up and subjegate them as the meatsicles you are. I mean I am. Oh shit.
exactly, once the code is public, the only way to not use it is to know what it is... it's already not a secret, you just have to tell people "this not-secret here, treat it as a secret again".
It's a play for time, and for Boies maybe a chance to influence law, lose or win, there is a lot of untested water in this case (heck, not only has the GPL not been tested, neither have most EULAs) for him to play with.
luckily it's not legal, either. You have to let the end user mitigate damage... you have to ACT like you don't want to be infringed. You have to want your IP back. You can't just use it as a sales technique. They cannot sue linux users... and the moment they demands a royalty it's moot, because while it may suddenly become ok to use the SCO IP, the GPL is no longer valid in that case (mixed with offending code, thou shalt not), and the customers lose the right to the other 100% of linux.
Franklin, Orange, Apple was the scum to take them out.
By killing that competition, Apple won the right to let PC's take over the world. Do not feel shame, it was still the Woz's design in there, and the Dao is in Woz's designs.
I had a similar competition with my wifes uncle years ago. Problem, he was way better than me. Well, it wasn't exactly a problem, I still had the highest score on the list.
>Back in my day I had to write games in BASIC, on a 4.7Mhz computer with no hard disk and 128K of RAM. And I was grateful
I should hope you were greatful. I had to write in basic, drop into the machine code "monitor" and change memory byte by byte to get it to skip around video memory so that drawing on the screen didn't overwrite code, on a 1 Mhz machine and I had 48K of RAM and I was happy to get it!:) great sig... thanks.
(now all we need is someone to come about how lucky we were... them and their audio cassette based file system had it much harder)
scientific competition is healthy... much better than killing or ruining economies. For one thing, we all benefit, the glory is in the bragging rights "I brought a moon rock back for Earth..." and the real value is shared.
Best if we could funnel our national pride (aka virulent jingoism) into things like scientific progress. Last one to the moon's a weenie!
Hey, this isn't a regular article you don't have to read. This is space exploration where you are expected to read all the links, including technical schematics, if you are a real geek. Now please!:)
you are 100% correct imo. But furthermore, sign a contract with SCO (e.g. the NDA) and they have more to sue you for. It's like a fishing expedition. Trolling in the legal sphere.
I think it's just prohibit takers from appearing in court against them. If linus looks at evidence by NDA, he can't talk about it in public. It's to stiffle the opposition with a trojan horse, more than anything else.
When you sign that NDA you give MORE RIGHTS to SCO... i.e. more ways to sue you.
Remember, according to SCO, copyright is what you use against strangers, contracts you use against partners. Now go sign the contract! (i.e. the NDA)

I think what you are refering too is properly called "multiparadigmed creamy goodness".

of which?
Now we know why SCO's so sure those copyright terrorists at IBM are using SCO's proprietary code in Linux! Because SCO put it there :-)
yes, but just like the WMD we know Iraq had because we sold em to em... it has all been removed and destroyed years ago.
what are the extra 79 lines for?

don't forget...
they did not recall linux they have shipped, and in fact have a letter to their customers saying they may continue to use it.
under what license? GPL! That's the only option they have!
luckily it's not legal, either. You have to let the end user mitigate damage... you have to ACT like you don't want to be infringed. You have to want your IP back.

Obviously!
thank you thank you, I'll be sacraficing Karma all week.
"you had CORE memory?
Why in my day, I had to slide little beads back and forth on a wire frame"
"You had a wire frame!!? We had bamboo beads on little tiny sticks, and we liked it!"
"Bamboo beads?!?! We had to use our fingers, and we only had 9 of them!"
"you had fingers!?!? I was an amoeba and had to --- shit, I had a quantum-mechanical genetic computer... I had it made!"
>Bill Gates seems to lack everything Linus Torvalds has.
but this is true.
indeed... he is... The Woz!

I tremble to behold, the beautiful Anonymous Karma Whore in it's natural habitat. ooooh, she's a beaut, ain't she
I think that's what it do have.

It's not yummy.
possibly both.
