Stange hierarchy of objects. That's a bit like saying "My physical being is the organisational arm of my existence"... whereas I'd tend to see my existence as something my physical being does. FSF does GNU.
Actually that's quite catchy, I'll think I'll make that my.sig!
Also, I think the clause allowing a copyright holder to permanently terminate GPL rights for a company that violates the license should be removed.
Actually, this is what the entire KDE debacle was about - by breaching the GPL, some coders (apparently - I don't know the details) lost the rights given by the license, and normal copyright resumed. This is what the whole 'asking forgiveness' of the original developers gig was about.
Hehe, thanks for the link, I read a couple of lines into the first paragraph trying to make sense of it before I started wondering if it was the Chomskybot. Of course their styles are quite distinct.
But no! The comment by pudge was Do people still use Lotus Notes? Honestly?
Notes has never been used by individual consumers - it's groupware. Pudge is well aware that Notes has at least had a userbase, by implication of the word still.
So it's Flamebait, not Foul.
Novell? Yes. Big companies, again. My company. NDS is 'good' apparently.
This is just/. flamebait. Notes has a huge installed base in big financial institutions and other sectors where security and IBM are important. My employer, with over 10,000 staff, is currently migrating everyone to Notes from a mix of mainframe mail and POP3. 2000 users are to be migrated this weekend.
Now, I'm a Free Software bigot, so I hate Notes for being proprietary. And I hate the odd GUI for being... well, odd and buggy. But Notes has no real competition in terms of features and security. It's also impressively cross platform (on the server side, anyway).
It's really in a class of it's own. Of course it's still used.
HURD MAY do OK as a server, but if one is restricted to the lowest-common-denominator opensource supported hardware, it is crippled at the start and will stay well behind the *BSDs, let alone linux.
The harder the conflict, the more glorious the victory
1. You can't spell. 2. Find out what 'amateur' means. 3. Einstein is dead, therefore his actions can't be present tense ("Einstein has..."). 4. You are wrong.
Please don't use the word 'hobbyist' when you're talking about programmers, especially when it's likely we're talking about Free Software programmers, who deserve a more suitable title.
Was Einstein a hobbyist? I call him an amateur, because he was not a professional scientist, and the word 'hobbyist' is demeaning. It makes one think of someone tinkering but not really understanding. Like someone who glues model planes together - a hobby, not amateur plane building.
That site demonstrates the thing I love most about flash sites - between every click I have time to make myself a cup of coffee, so I can keep myself from falling asleep at the almost complete lack of content (the designers were to busy getting those animations just right...)
Surely the wasted time of developers and users alike is enough reason to throw this Flash in the pan back into the void where it came from. Doesn't it cost many times more to make and update these stupid, stupid sites?
Oh but I have, as a mail admin amongst other things, with 2000 users.
I can't remember clearly but perhaps Lotus Notes 'Out of Office Agent' just doesn't allow "autorespond to all recipients". And that's probably sensible.

I'll pay for stability.
No need.
that'll be fdisk /mbr, not format /mbr.
who the hell uses Lotus Notes?

Yes it's only Tomcat, but Tomcat is a big part of Jakarta.
The users can roam if you put their Notes IDs in their home directory.
Not that I do that sort of nonsense any more.
OK, I meant to say Tomcat is used in the official Sun reference implementation.
I thought Jakarta was Sun's official (partial) J2EE reference implementation.
:-(
What are Sun up to? They are going to alienate a lot of people. Like me. Not that they care about me

When that happens on Windoze you delete the notes/data/~notes.lck file. I think it's called that, anyway.
I got excited! But:

You answer yourself...
Sure --> Linux TCO is 1 unit, Windows TCO is 1 unit.
RMS was fighting for it in order to counter the Mono threat
Are you sure? My link (4th paragraph, "With DotGNU and Mono...") says Stallman thinks its a good idea. Where's your link?
Woah, for a moment I could have sworn that was a Jon Katz article...

If they release the (obfuscated or otherwise) code under the GPL, I can redistribute to my hearts content, as long as I follow the terms of the GPL.
I don't need to give the company a penny and nor does anyone else.
Ignoring the probable case that this IS in a GPL violation, I don't see how it can be lucrative.

Most pioneers are amateurs.
Sorry, just one of my hobby horses...

No, it just means that dorks like you aren't a big part of the target audience.
And that is a target audience of drooling morons.
"Is your training available for cats, too? You see, I like cats better than dogs, and so I'd prefer you produce a Seeing-Eye Cat for me."
There are good reasons cats are not used as "seeing-eye"'s - they don't train well, for a start.
There's nothing about non-IE browsers that makes them inherently unsuitable for web browsing, even (perhaps especially) accessible web browsing.
