Well listen, I happen to agree with you 100%, it does not matter what you, RMS or Perens says. However I do not know many developers that are cool with the idea and what we think matters. If the GPL3 is gonna block those kind of deals then everything I produce will be GPL3...simple really!
Yes it is called a knock sensor and they have been in use for years. In most cases the knock lets the computer know it is happening and it will then retard the timing to eliminate the knock. In this case the computer only has to retard the timing and adjust the waste gate to drop the boost pressure to eliminate the knock.
Wow these guys should sell this technology to the drag racing community...oh wait they have been burning alcohol for years to give them the ability to, reduce intake charge temperatures, reduce pre-ignition in high compression and large boost scenarios.
Yes we should be burning more ethanol and it is a outstanding engine fuel however pre-blending by the oil companies is a crappy idea. How about blending the fuel at the pump so I can buy pure ethanol and or blended. If one could buy pure ethanol at the pump then those of us that wanted to take advantage of high compression engines with insane boost pressures could do it, and those that wanted to run 15% passenger car run of the mill under powered plants could do the same.
I have sent three customers to dell so far this year and in each and every case I have loaded open office and had to uninstall all the crapware....dell make my job easier, it is the least you can do for me sending you new customers.
Ruby...they are complaining about speed now how is ruby going to help that? Then again not sure that the mono runtime is going to afford them anything better.
I cannot think of a single company anywhere that is not at least using open source software. Hell, there is likely very few if any that do not at least use it indirectly "google search". Now granted developers within a company shipping a product should be trained in what you can and cannot use and under what circumstances. Soon here even java will be open source, so you will not even be running your application servers and custom code without a open source component.
What we are talking about here is proprietary development shops and people closed source apps, yes by all means you should be afraid "we don't want our code in your application".
Actually the license has little to do with being anti-business it is the developer that ultimately chose to use that license that is empowered. OSS and the GPL are only tools to empower developers, it is up to the developers themselves who's proprietary software company is next on the chopping block. Nobody is required to use GPL licensed software, business's can feel free to roll their own.
You are somewhat correct in that it did not say anywhere that your personal workstation will change. It did say that google apps would be used and that means that "You Are Using Linux, might be housed at google but you will be a user of Linux". Of course there is not likely too many people in the world that are not serviced greatly each and every day by linux or linux related infrastructure.
Although the name of Microsoft's Office Open XML suggests that it would match the requirement, it is in fact a proprietary format that would fail the open standards test.
All of these bills I have seen introduced have a "implemented by multiple vendor" clauses in them which kind of kicks word and ooxml to the curb now doesn't it.
It does not matter in the least if anything they bundle is not the best. They own the platform and can bundle whatever they wish to eliminate the competition.
Chalk one up for the good ole blackberry, I walk into these stores and see something I like. Fire up the blackberry and check the online price. If it is lower I go show it to them, hard to deny what the online price is then.
Ok turn on your mp3 recorder right now and record a copy of your voice.
Start out with this content is copyrighted by "Your Name"
Then you can just spend some time saying la, la, la, la, la, la, la or whatever trips your trigger. Now put it on a p2p network share folder changing the name to metallica.mp3 or whatever trips your goat. Place a sniffer on the connection, when the goons grab your file trying to figure out if you are hosting copyrighted tunes you slap them with a big ole fat lawsuit for copyright infringement.
For less than the price of the mini I can buy a full up business desktop, loaded with vista, 1GB of ram, 80GB of disk and on top of that I get a keyboard, mouse and 19 inch flat panel display...and this is from a major distributor, warranty on site etc.
Now do not get me wrong even I would not mind having a mac, but I am not paying 4 times market value to do it.

All well and good, till they kill the product like they did with Kylix...then what, yep you are left holding the bag....thanks, but no thanks..

Long, Long ago we just disabled vbs execution across the whole enterprise.. we allow access to any of these services.

Yep let me triple the replacement budget this year....dream on..

Its called /. not c:\
Why dissect it...just code a loop to send a fake version of the file with trash in the fields,childs play...

Yep noticed that they are doing a little "Price Phishing"....
They need to bundle that up in a appliance so they can sell it to enterprises that do not wish to
store their data out of house.
Actually you have a hard time reading don't you?

I don't know what you are looking at but they list a 520 with 17 inch monitor for 499 which is the same price as the lowest end mini.

Exactly what I was thinking, makes you feel all warm inside that vista is letting you know your
box is already owned.
Clicks sly fox icon this morning "stand by while firefox is installing the latest updates"...what boooogs?
Better than XP how, he did not say a darn thing about what where or why it is a improvement to xp.
