well to be fair, Oracle has owned innodb and berkeley db for some time now. if oracle wanted to kill mysql - pulling innodb would have worked for anyone who gives a shit about ACID compliance, but wait you say, Oracle just made innodb the default storage engine? No-fucking-way, is that progress? Who knows right? Here's what I would do to keep tabs on it. Try keeping a live copy of MariaDB around for testing purposes, you can easily use this as a way gauge Oracle's motives vs their actions. Perhaps Oracle was just really insulted by the notion of being PWND by a networked version of Access. Sorry, but I don't feel terrbly bad for the guys at MySQL, because their business practices never seemed that far off from the licensing cons MS and Oracle were always criticized for. I mean why was MySQL substandard by default anyways? Couldn't be consulting fees could it?
And Sun Microsystems was essentially to the dot com bubble the same thing our failed banks were to credit default swaps, with the possible difference that Sun may have been true believers, but it's pretty crazy to think that Oracle's sole purpose in buying Sun was to murder java, I know that's not what you said, but it's often used as an example against oracle. Double plus plus - how embarrassing would it be to buy this stuff, try to kill it and watch it ooze out from beneath your claws, an ego maniac like Ellison should fear that sort of defeat more than death itself. Seriously, I would like to know what Oracle has done to destroy this thing? It's got to be more conclusive than adding ACID compliance by default, because, as someone who detests bullshit, I find this to be a good thing.
From an ethical perspective Microsoft, IBM, Oracle, etc. are responsible for the business practices that made credit default swaps plausible. Sling them a tonne of bullshit and bill them. Hell, Credit Default Swaps were essentially a financial construct emulating a user interface with no business logic. In this industry the slightest inclination of bias is absolutely guilt and you are a fool not to believe so. That's the job working in IT, trying to figure out how much utter bullshit you can avoid before you get blamed for the bullshit that generates revenue. Fuck, IE9 is irrelevant, because there is still too much bullshit glued onto IE6.
"It is not possible* to provide open-source DRM software that works (from the perspective of content owners). If your users have the source and it is not tied to crypto hardware, then you (the content owner) have no control over your content. If Netflix was to provide a Linux client, they would have to write it as a binary blob (and a bunch of us would complain about that)."
Mandatory Access Controls - should be a sufficient enough foundation for implementing DRM on a Linux system.
step 1. Pay for netflix step 2. browse for on demand films step 3. pirate, no more than 3 films at a time, only if they are available via the on-demand service step 4. seed as much as you fucking want step 5. xxxx step 6. profit!
Yea, you want to have your intelligence really insulted try infoworld's programmers IQ test. I hate to judge as they are pretty open minded about open source, but seem to be a little daft here and there.
I think the greatest road block to any kind of agreement here is that so many individuals in power are refusing to acknowledge the fact that that nature has changed. Copying files is as natural to this generation as listening to the radio was in the past.
Should I strive for more than nothing? You have nothing, are nothing, think nothing, this is an honest assessment of one's existence, why then would I cloud my judgement with fancy delusions?
No, I gave you my name which is not plain, in this sense you cower as a matter of substance, so tell me why I have done this when the information was available to you? Was it simply to satisfy your lazy curiosity or have you a point?
Your first link is interesting, there is a simple answer - she should be on top. Carefully, so as not to break the man's penis, coincidentally this seems fairly related to women "making the first move" as well as being honest about sexuality.
sometimes, but I had actually read the whole thread at the time and felt that it was a worthy read. It is awkward to try to participate in such a huge discussion, from that context the rifleman's creed just came to mind. The thread at the time had 100 comments and not much in the way of trolling/flamewars/offtopic posts, I was proud. I believe the trick is that my thesis is not directly assertive - the term "seems" goes a long way to generate discussion rather than conflict.

Um, Finder asks if you'd like to login as guest or someone specific, so it looks to me like there is no reason to think you can't write with permission.

it's that staple of the industry known as porting, incidentally one of the many options available when you have the source code.

Because this is soooo, not the FBI's job. This shit belongs in the jurisdiction of the NSA. Barney Fifes across the US will be partying tonight.

You can also freeze them, it's only worked once that I have tried it though.
Regardless, this functionality is better provided for by an international standards body rather than the goddamned fucking patent office.
You could epoxy the mouse and keyboard in place as well, as long as the contacts are good.
mandatory access controls!!!

Especially since this is EXACTLY what it was designed for.

you're an idiot

please explain the nature of this cowardice
An idiot might think a lot of things, at least a bit more than you :)
And I am only mostly pathetic.

I chose a screen name for an online personality, apparantly not much of one, but I'll stick with it.
I think it's pretty obvious the president is a ninja.
This is a little bit absurd.

I'd like to see this in Toy Story 4.
