    Actually I meant binaries not code.

    Now here's a question:
        If the military distributed their binaries as part of the software controlling a missile. Would they have to include source code in the warhead?

    As long as the military did not distribute their code externally then they would not have to give anything back. They may or may not choose to give something back at their own discretion.

    How much time will it take for to Slashdot be blocked?"

    Slashdot is already blocked in China and India. Geeks are still productive overseas. This is the main reason for the offshore outsourcing frenzy.

    How soon can Slashdot be blocked in North America.

  24. Re:An interesting irony on Human Trials Underway In China For SARS Vaccine · · Score: 2, Informative

    Thank ((insert deity)) for the health agencies.
    The fact that SARS was controled as quickly as it was by quarantine was a major feather in their cap.

    I do not find it ironic at all that so much effort is being put into research into SARS (or any other health matter) than HIV.

    The point I was trying to make that it is ironic that this one experimental prevention vaccine for a disease that no one currently (officially) has. Has been imported into China and is being used on humans. People have been dying in multitudes from HIV for much longer than SARS has been around. Children born with HIV are being denied treatment because anti viral drugs (shown to be effective elswhere) have not been government approved. Importing them is illegal.

    Ok now that I have RTFA this is not a Chinese vaccine.
    However, this does not dilute the irony.
