if they're equivalent i'd always pick the one that is free as in freedom. in fact even if it was slightly worse i'd take the freedom one so, it's win-win lol
local interconnected long distance links to form some kind of mesh network would be interesting. internet link would probably hard because of the required bandwidth from node to node, but local you've limited content some of the nodes may have a separate internet access to post info to the world, while the local network allow local communication
Because usually you're paid the lowest possible at your first job and after 5 years they're not going to pay your more. But if you apply as a 5+ year experience to another company, you're paid almost double.
Slashdot had this discussion a small while back. If you wanna keep your employees, well give them a reason to. As much as one would like to continue with the same company it usually needs to be at least near to the same salary he'd get anywhere else. There's other reasons but this one is a pretty basic and general one.
Obviously its not just about "open sourcing the drivers", otherwise we'd have open sourced catalysts and all would be well. The reason catalysts work well and open source drivers don't is because, well, they're not the same code at all, and the catalyst ones are a lot more advanced.
Now they want their view of the standard to be implemented so open source it, but theres other standards already out there, so it feels a bit like "just throwing it around hoping it works"
That's not quite true. Arch and Debian do not make money off it. Beside Red Hat is one of the biggest open source contributor (Ubuntu isn't), so I am, for one, pretty much happy they get some money and don't die off it - so we keep getting more open source software.
that's wierd, you see, i had old incandescent bulbs (like 8 of them) and they'd die every 2 month or so. I switched to CFL. That was 4 years ago. I did not need to change them yet. Yeah the lighting is slightly lower and it takes a few minutes to achieve "maximum lighting" but I don't even notice anymore.
Just the fact that I don't have to change them is win in my eyes.
Yeah that's the only reason I would like Meego to succeed. (or to have succeeded, who knows;) I can hack around Android (i run Android from sources, 2.3.2 + some unfortunately required binaries from the original phone), its not that bad, but it's not all that good either on that point of view.
Unfortunately most people still don't get the differences and advantages of freedom vs free as in beer, and confuse them a lot. Real open development is seriously good. Maybe not for capitalism (although many using real open source models still make millions), but for innovation, flexibility, and everyone else.
if you wanna be a smart ass, then don't write it wrong!

I'd like to mod this +25 unfortunately it's not possible. Meego might or might not be "the best" but it's the only completely free and truly open platform.
and it's therefore the one we should promote if we don' wanna end up all locked up one day.. not only that but it guarantees long term updates on one's phone since we can just update and compile it.
even with android, first the development model is closed, and second many parts end up being proprietary or out of the mainline trees (eg the Android kernel) and are thus a pain to update
finally, it's a different model than the dalkvik/android model where you have almost just one process forking away more processes -not exactly proper unix model - android is very non-standard, and non-standard makes things harder.
I think it's more about the money. Free energy? What else do you need once you have that. Free energy solves nearly everything. Of course, we might not actually get real renewable energy (100.00%) but if we do... Then you don't need to pay for light, heating directly. All other supplies can be operated on free energy as well and cost nearly zero.
There's still a lot of other things requiring humans to work (medicine, entertainment, etc)) but all the basic needs could be fulfilled for everyone. It means, the rich couldn't exploit the poor anymore since the poor could just live on with minimum effort if he wanted to. Which also means things would get more equal. That's not something the rich will want to happen.
Because unlike you, I still believe that people are innocent until proven guilty. Because if you don't respect that principle, it's dead easy to get people's life destroyed and one day your own. But that's too complicated to understand for the vast majority, I'm well aware of that, when it concerns children or rape, better kill the dude and risk being wrong than writing things that might make people claim you're supporting rapists and what-not. (which is utterly ridiculous - but works)
The only argument you (and others) have is: "the girl story sounds true". No fact.
The only reason the guy actually will get jail time is because the facebook writing is a fact, and is used against him. Of course, it's HIGHLY improbable that he wrote what he wrote on facebook as a real incitation to murder - but it's a fact and that works in court. It's also HIGHLY improbable that he wrote it "because he raped her".
What's HIGHLY probable, is that they got angry at each other and she's been doing something bad to him (lie about rape to destroy him?) and he wrote stupid stuff on facebook.
Then again all this are just probabilities, not facts. And finally it's also HIGHLY improbable that ANY of us will get the real story, let alone reports in the website news, which on slashdot, I hope, we all know are usually vastly inaccurate.
It's like pointing out at a guy and say "HES HAVING SEX WITH CHILDREN". And of course, "if you don't plaid guilty you will be jailed for life, else its only going to be 10 years!"
Do you seriously thing the facebook status was a real assassination offer? Of course no you don't. It's just convenient that he wrote something stupid.
If it was up to me, I'd jail people like you instead - at least I am _certain_ not to make an error since you wrote your statements black & white. While the guy could or could not be guilty.
Get in the car drunk with the Girl. Girl has sex with you, realize she is drunk and never wanted anything to do with you. Her real BF (or dad or whatever) might be super angry. Girl complains to the police about the rape.
Boy gets angry, write on facebook "this bitch!! $500 to whoever kills her!". Which obviously doesn't mean he intend people to kill her.
Girl complain to police about murder. Girl also contact journalists about super internet story to post.
Nice way to conflate terms for a sensational headline. What a bogus metric. A good chunk of that "stored data" is junk. Probably most of it. Not to mention duplication. (Duplication? I told you not to mention duplication:-)
Sorry, i'm just increasing world's knowledge database at the moment.
"Nokia wrote to developers, "Qt will continue to be the development framework for Symbian and Nokia will use Symbian for further devices; continuing to develop strategic applications in Qt for Symbian platform and encouraging application developers to do the same.""
I wonder what will happen to KDE too. I mean, they rely on Nokia to spit out QT releases, I doubt they can handle both KDE and QT. Likewise for other companies relying on QT.
Might as well state that what they wrote is not wrong. What they get from the device are things like the Wifi access code and it is based on device based, passcode independent encryption. This is a convenience trade off Apple made, but it is also a security issue.
OTHER things are encrypted with the passcode and they couldn't decrypt those. That is all clearly specified in the PDF.

in any case the $200 per 10 apps is a rip off, even if they'd streamline the process.

Severity metric: 4.50 (on a scale from 0 to 180)
Sounds like not very high to me either, lol.
That said, it's a kinda serious vulnerability given that the Internet relies a lot on DNS and many servers are running BIND.
Then again, we should be running at least DNSSEC by now, and not provided by BIND, right? right?!
Yeah that's the only reason I would like Meego to succeed. (or to have succeeded, who knows ;)

Android is pretty much "open source when Google decides"
Not like Meego for example, which is more in thee spirit of the open source development (and most other open source projects)

hiring a hitman on facebook however.. please. lol.

That is the latest iOS and the latest iPhone, mind you.
