The only thing mentioned about unauthorized distribution in these are where it says that Sequent cannot distribute modified or unmodified copies of the code licensed from AT&T. There isn't dick in here about who own new code that is attached to the code licensed from AT&T.
Sequent / IBM have no names on these files. What the heck is SCO talking about now?? Where are the NUMA files that orignated from IBM that contain Dyniz sources??
No to mention that it does not reflect on the freespace available of the master drive. You could have a 500 MB HD, with two 40 GB drives hung off it as folder, and it would still register it as one 500 MB drive.
That's why it's the only thing I haven't updated from my RH8 workstation and laptop. The server hasn't told me that it needs an upgrade so I haven't bothered it.
It was a 32-bit kludge running on a 64-bit processor. And we had more issues running this than we had after switching off our dual Aplha boxes and onto dual P-III Xeons. NT 3.51 and 4.0 ran, but not real well, and not in full on 64-bit goodness.
The reason why QuickDraw and QuickDraw3D died the quiet death is becuase JC went to Jobs and told him, basically, you want game developers to write stuff for the Mac, implement OpenGL.
Lo and behold, MacOS releases since Steve took the reins and video cards that he's thrown in have all had good OpenGL support.
Jeez, how hard is that? You got something for Christmas from that relative you barely even see, do what I told my son. Even if you don't like it, this person went to some effort to do something nice.
To me, the citizen, GLP'd research/programs/code/technology/whatever ensures that imrpovements in the whatever are kept in the public domain, which benefits those of us that made the investment in the whatever in the first place. As a developer, if I'm going to be contributing to an open source project, I'd rather have it be a GPL or LGPL'd one to make sure that my contributions stay with the project and aren't taken into something that I don't approve of. Now if it's something that I'm writing for myself, I'd rather have the option of dual liscencing the project to allow me to choose the best usage for my project at that time, while still keeping it available for others to see and use, as I allow.
Different schemes for different purposes, but if it's public financing that helps create something, then the public should have continuing access to that something inperpituity.
Especially the 1.3.X series of both browsers (using a 1.3 alpha build of Moz with 1.3.1 build of Galeon). You've made my GNOME 2 experience richer, and given me the best combination of tabbed browing and smart toolbar I could ask for.
At a recent meeting of the manufacturing systems folk of our company, our CIO dropped the comment that if MS didn't make a major change in their pricing structure we'd be looking hard at "open source alternatives for our software needs in the very near future." I would kill to have a sit down with our CTO and see if he's been asked to start evaluating OpenOffice and checking our financial folk's spreadsheets for importing accuracy.
Collective jaws dropped around the conference table, being that we're Fortune 500 and probably get as good terms as you can get under Licensing 6.0. Our applications (on the MES side) are all going Win32 + IIS delivered through IE and away from the UNIX and VMS/VAX platforms, so to be told by the man that we should all be hedging our bets around suites that don't rely on MS was quite the shocker.
In our company's IT goal to massive reduce costs and bring capital spending way down without giving up productivity and return on investment, throwing down that huge of a chunk of change to a single vendor has got to be hurting. So, the sentiment is already out there, it's just taking time to ferment and filter down, but decision makers are already mulling the possibilities.
If I had mod points, you, sir, would have them all.
I thank God that I was not drinking as I read this, all I can picture is Mojo Jojo wearing a Vader mask. And pulling it all off without seeming out of place.
You've never dealt with MITRE have you? MITRE, in my experience, are delay and overbilling kings, par excellence. They charge for this solutions library that you can never access and create some of the most god awful solutions mankind has ever witness, and then bury the evidence. Do a search on "Intelligence Training System" or "Sentinal II" on their website and see if you can find the US$50Million of taxpayer money,
This is by far this best solution, and shows how public domain is a great way to disseminate knowledge and ideas. Since the public funded government commissioned it, let the public get some value for their money, by letting everyone have equal access to it.
This sounds remarkably like the plugs we got for Rambus RDRAM: serial interface is better than parallel, first gen won't see real performance gains, stick with us kids, this is gonna be really good.
I see a decided lack of Sun, IBM, AMD, or HP listed in the adopters, which leads me to believe that this is much like the above. Sorry guys, I'm not riding the first wave of any new tech on my salary. I'll sit on the sidelines for awhile and see how this pans out.
I would disagree with you, in that I think it's the filmmaker's vision that determines how flat something looks, not that it's cg. Take FOTR and AOTC for example, I think that FOTR looks vibrant, alive, grubby, and very nice. AOTC looks antiseptic and lifeless.
Okay, maybe greed does enter into the equation, based on my refernces, but you can't tell me that Shrek looks flat. I think it looks gorgeous and fairy tale like
I realize it's a small thing, but it's a hassle to dig through the mountains of stuff on my desk, find the CD, and then play. I'm much happier just clicking the icon, and off I go.
Between you, freshrpms, and the NVIDIA walkthrough, I am using a robust, do-everything I could want, workstation/server right now!
I dug through Google all day yesterday looking for the answer to this question, after screaming at a hdparam telling me that I couldn't enable DMA. Bless you, for you are a savior and a genius!
I was reading SPIN and they had a blurb about "new stoner rock", naming bands like Monster Magnet, Queens of the Stone Age, and Fu Manchu. I fire up Napster, and a few minutes later, I'm downloading. Burn them out, slap it into the car, and after a week, I'm on CDNow buying stuff by all three bands. Living where I did at the time, I would have never heard of these guys, but thanks to SPIN and Napster, they now have a new fan.
This still doesn't answer the question. Saying Crippleware implies a lack of functionality, none of your points demonstrate that. Now, I'm not saying that Bero is blowing this all out of proportion, I'd just like to know specifically what his reasoning for using that phrase was.
My company has been using a product on HP-UX for the past ten years to do real time tracking and interfacing with embedded systems on our our production lines all around the world. This is a mature, beautiful, reliable beast that we use with either Oracle on Solaris or DB2 on our 390's.
The policy of our company on using MS IIS and SQL Server is (and will continue to be) "not on anything business critical, and nothing outside of the intranet"
Now, the developer of our application has told us that in two years they are going to stop supporting their *NIX version and they are pushing everyone over to their new app, which is written entirely in VS.NET and requires Win2k with all the.NET server-side and client-side stuff, and hasn't even made it out of beta yet, since we spend half our time rebooting and troubleshooting the box they sent over to us.
When I asked "Why aren't we just saying to hell with their support (now very minimal - less than 60 hours per month), and keep going with what we know works?" the answer is ".NET is the future and it's what the developer is going with.
So it is perception and it is developers, and I am not looking forward to our first implementation of this stuff nex year, because I haven't seen anything yet to prove that it's better than our current workhorse.

But JFS was written independantly of the code IBM licensed from SCO, so that can't be it. I agree they have no clue what they're targeting.
That's why it's the only thing I haven't updated from my RH8 workstation and laptop. The server hasn't told me that it needs an upgrade so I haven't bothered it.
Why are you posting this rant, yet again? If you are that unhappy with the current direction of Gnome, fork it or don't use it.
