No one tells me what I can and cannot code on my Linux machine and or software. I have always said programming on a windows box is like programming with one hand tied behind your back. Nothing but artificial barriers to getting things done. I sure don't miss the days when I had to program on windows.
I fully agree with you, it was taken with a camera owned and manned by a govt authority using public dollars...As far as I am concerned it is public domain.
First of all no lawsuit has been filed, they just sent a cease and desist.
This is otherwise known as creative marketing, nobody even knew these guys existed up to this point. Will they every file a lawsuit? Doubt it, but this little stunt makes it possible that someone will look and possibly care about whatever snake oil they produce.
First of all there is nothing at all hard about cross platform ajax programming, those hurdles have already been overcome. However it is over 10 years since java and applets where introduced and they are still slow as mud, I highly doubt any success in market penetration.
It has always been this way, of course they may have specifically defined blogging but communications security is nothing new in the military that includes all branches.
Jet is damn lucky to scale to 10 much less your claimed 1000. I have never seen 1000 concurrent users in a jet database. Not that it matters, I cannot believe anyone would trust it to tabulate election results.
Yes if you are gonna run a web server in the wild you had better know everything about the OS it's running on and how to make sure you still own it the next day.
How wrong you are, but then again you are already brain washed by visual studio. Visual studio is but one development tool that runs on a closed operating system. To the brain washed developer this seems ok but the power of Linux is the developer tools and the ability to use 100% of the platform to your advantage.
Lets use a little example here, say I wish to do something simple like take a html document and convert it to pdf and deploy it to a remote server some place. I simply call the installed tool called html2pdf using exec and again call exec to ssh that to a remote server half way across the globe. Now tell me using visual studio and windows how are you going to accomplish the same thing I just did with two lines of code? There are thousands of these little utilities that do little jobs by themselves, but string them together they can do anything very easily.
I programmed on windows for many, many years and with visual studio. Visual studio is a nice tool but it is a nice tool running on a closed platform.

Now the big question is how much of this is applied for actual R&D. You see you can write off a significant amount of money by claiming it as R&D. Money is not a indicator of R&D investment, it only indicates how much was designated R&D spending to avoid paying taxes on it.
This has little to do with what they make on zune players the money is in the media. If they can over take Apple in the format war then they own the media and the only means by which to play it.
I handed a boss of mine a study paper about 12 years ago that covered probably 90% of the claims. I don't think it was ever released public which would kill any possible use as prior art.
I have a hard time understanding all the crying over a few additional clauses intended to stop the breaking of the spirit of the GPL. Actually I am fairly sure that most of the crying is by those who do not even develop software or those who wish to breach the intent of the license, such as certain corporate interests.
You see it works like this, I "myself, me, numero uno etc" the developer is the only one that matters in this whole deal. If I choose to write software and place it under the GPL2,GPL3,BSD license etc then so be it. If I don't like the way some corporate interest is trying to circumvent the spirit of the license then by all means I will license under GPL3 in a heartbeat.
Slashdot Mirror
Wait a few more weeks till the GPL3 is released then open source it and relicense under it. If MS was not mad before that ought to do it.

Amen to that, buy a mac and you got a expensive brick..till you buy some software that will
actually make it do something.
It is also exactly why we are the worlds Super Power....Lets keep it that way!
March 28th was the Grandfathered cutoff date for the GPL3 as far as I know...interesting...
I fully agree with you, it was taken with a camera owned and manned by a govt authority using public

Must be good, send it to print!

Was talking to a programmer at work yesterday that had never heard of storing data on audio
cassette tapes like we did in the good ole days..

Actually in most cases the longest you would have to wait to purchase a gun is three days.
You have never read the UCMJ have you?...
The constitution does not mean crap for service members...

Looks like google's search algorithms worked perfectly, he tried to game the search engine results and
got sent to the black hole.....
No sympathy here!

Why stop there:
"Choose an OPERATING SYSTEM:
1. Vista 32 or 64 Home
2. Vista Ultimate
3. Windows XP
4. Windows 2000
5. Windows NT
6. Fedora
7. Ubuntu
8. FreeDOS
9. FreeBSD
10. BeOS"
11. Mac OS X
12. I am feeling lucky!
For example, the actual cost of a Windows OEM hasn't increased in the last few years; Microsoft isn't passing this cost directly on to the consumer."
Yea, OK then who is paying for it?

I see a lot of gun control comments already...I am interested, what is your solution?
As I recall it only took a couple of guys with some simple box cutters to kill 3000+ people, so what would
a gun ban do?
No reason at all that the web server hosting the application cannot be running local or remote and or
a hybrid of both local and remote....
