Sakic was wrong and the Mambo guys should have known better.
Why? The developer *lied*. He claimed the work was his when it wasn't. If anyone here should be sued, it should be him, for breach of contract. Meanwhile, the Mambo guys should simply remove the code from their product, and release a new revision.
do even more work "in house" than accept submissions rather than risk getting SCO'd.
What does this even mean? "in house"... there's no such thing, in an open source project. The fact is, you can never be sure where code is coming from... for all you know, one of your lead developers could be swiping code. The fact is, if such a thing happens, you go after the developer for copyright infringement and remove the offending code from the project. You can do little else, since there's no way to determine if a given piece of code was stolen.
How on earth do you define "Not as bad"? Last I heard, the "Christian Right" didn't try to muzzle people who spoke out against it. Or use what amounts to brainwashing and cult-like behaviour in order to control it's members (see the definition of a "cult" before responding). Or flat out endanger people's lives!
Sorry, but, again, comparing Christianity to Scientology is highly disengenuous. Whether or not you agree with the beliefs of Christianity or Catholicism (and I happen to disagree with both... I'm an atheist), comparing them to the CoS is a disservice, both to honest religious people, and to those fighting against the CoS.
Incidentally, I'm not trying to convince you to change ISPs or anything... I'm just trying to make sure people understand what, exactly, the CoS is, and how very different it is from any other "religion" out there.
Hey, try heading over to Operation Clambake before making any posts about the "big bad scary church of scientology". Trust me, it's worse than you could possibly imagine...
It is the Judicial job to write laws(judicial activism).
The judicial system seeks to interpret law, strike down unconstitutional laws (check on the legislative and executive branches), or alternatively, to set precedents based on interpretation of existing laws. However, they do not *make* laws.
Indeed... in fact, it could be argued that *not* issuing the tissue is simply a waste. After all, we're perfectly willing to make use of donor organs from humans who died. Why shouldn't the same be true of embryonic stem cells?
From what I've seen, they're standards used on web pages.
Then you're be wrong. Both Inkscape and Sodipodi are tools along the lines of CorelDraw, and guess what, they use SVG as their format! SVG is designed as one thing: a format for specifying vector-based images (along the lines of, say, PostScript or PDF). Nothing more. It can be combined with CSS, ECMAScript, and other technologies for doing other things (eg, displaying graphics on a webpage, or even doing flash-like animations). But SVG is most definitely *not* used just for "web pages".
Right "kernel-space". ie, they're in the same memory space as the kernel, can tromp on the kernel's memory, and can therefore do very bad things for system stability. Whether or not the code actually makes calls into the kernel itself is irrelevant.
*sigh* Not you again. There's crap in every medium. There is a metric buttload of *bad* books out there. Worse yet, everyone has a different idea of what defines "bad"... for example, I think the Count of Monte Cristo is a bad book (oh, I've tried to read it... how I've tried), but there are many who would disagree. Same goes for movies, music, and, yup, you guessed it, TV! The key, since you seem to have missed it, is to find quality material that you enjoy. Of course, if you choose not to do that, that's fine, but don't criticize an entire medium (and, by proxy, the people who view it) just because *you* have decided that it's worthless. After all, millions of very smart people (many probably smarter than you or me) watch TV every day (they also probably read books, watch movies, and listen to music... variety is, after all, the spice of life).
Underground? Hardly. The GBA homebrew community is one of the biggest out there (short of the Dreamcast community). Hell, I got my GBA around six months after they launched and got a flash cart shortly after that, in order to hack my own GBA projects, and there are plenty more people out there like me. And that doesn't include all the people who bought flash carts (unfortunately) for piracy. Just check out all the stuff on gbaemu.
Personally, my next mod was going to be getting an Ericsson keyboard and hooking it up to my GBA (for playing GBA-Frotz:), but since the DS will likely be out for Christmas (last I heard), I'll probably just wait for it. After all, that touch screen could be turned into a great mini-keyboard for, say, a GBA-Frotz port.:)
Umm, that's still sounds like a hack to me. "Publish an application"? Why should I have to "publish" anything? With X, I simply connect to a server and run an application, and everything works.
OOC, it sounds to me like Citrix implements this "seamless windows" feature by placing the application in a virtual desktop of it's own, and the client simply displays the whole thing as a single window. Does this sound right? Or do things like dialogs, etc, pop up as separate windows as well?
There is nothing against patented standards in the IETF policy guidelines. They've already issued a standard on firewalls which is patented (VRRP).
Yes, I'm aware of that. I also think it's a load of crap. The IETF, IMHO, should take the stance of the w3c. ie, they should not accept a standard which are patent encumbered, and they should require a declaration from any submitting party stating that their submission is not encumbered.
Yup, you're absolutely right! Despite what the ASF said, they're rejecting SenderID because it's *Microsoft*! Yeah! Sure, they *claimed* it was because it was patent encumbered, but you have efficiently seen through their veil of deception.
Don't be a tool. The ASF doesn't gives a damn who created the freakin' standard. The fact is, it's patent encumbered. Period. And, as a result, they refuse to implement it. This shouldn't be at all surprising. Frankly, I think it's down right ridiculous that the IETF is willing to consider a standard that's patent encumbered. But, hey, who wants a free, open Internet?
For a small or home network with trusted users, sharing the key works just fine
The point, though, is that if you use the same key all the time an attacker has even more time to crack the encrypted data stream. OTOH, if you only use the preshared key for negotiating a new session key, it becomes a lot more difficult for an attacker to sample enough encrypted material to perform a proper attack.
Umm... correct me if I'm wrong, but the statement "the hypothesis could be undecidable" could be translated to "there is no way to generate a procedure which can determine if an arbitrary problem in P is, in fact, in NP", just as there is "no procedure which can determine if an arbitrary program halts". ie, the problem really can be "undecidable".
Dude, you are very wrong. The idea that "God does not throw dice" is directly contradicted by Quantum Mechanics (which is why Einstein rejected the theory, thus originating that quote) which necessarily requires the concept of "true randomness". Thus, in this case, Einstein was probably wrong, as another poster pointed out (things like radioactive decay being provably random).
Yeah, you're totally right! Instead, they should privatize their system, just like the electricity production industry in California! Then, just like in California, they'll upgrade the... oh, wait...
Maybe because they didn't live long enough to develop the disease in the first place? You do realize that the average lifespan of someone in a "primitive tribe" probably didn't exceed 50 years of age, right?
Well, I'm glad you'd say that. But, guess what, the world is full of people who are not, in fact, you. The actual *numbers* say that, on average, personal income is down (or, rather, did not keep pace with related indicators). Of course, *you* didn't experience this, so, yeah, let's just keep screwing everyone else!
It works at the X protocol, rather than frame buffer level, which allows it to perform optimizations that VNC cannot. It also doesn't require a special graphical client... NX acts as an X protocol proxy, so your remote app displays locally like any other X application (as opposed to being contained in a separate desktop within a VNC session).
Supply-side economics == tax cuts == "more money in the pockets of american people". Yet, their personal income *decreased*, so, it would appear that there is, in fact, *less* money in the pockets of the American people.
Perhaps I should have said, more specifically, "the myth of the Bush tax cut".

Hydrogen, generated from water split by electrolysis, sounds like a perfect medium to me.
