Open-source doesn't necessarily mean free of charge. You CAN sell open source software.
Great, any buyers? I didn't think so.
Its true that cars aren't free of patents and trademarks, but that doesn't stop people from modifying them. Also, open-source software can include patented code, as long as its licensed properly.
Isn't it ironic? when Muslim countries were open minded they were dominating the world. Of course, then muslim extremists took the power and with a blink of an eye everything changed.
Well they are making money on others work and why not? If some programmers want to give away software for free, that's their problem. With Open Source software, I don't have to work three months on a project. Their's always someone who's done a similar project in Open Source, so I take the code, customize it for my employers needs and voilà it's done in a week and I take all the credit and the money for it.

And why not? RedHat are great at marketing, although it's not my distribution of choice, it sure as hell is my favorite Linux company. RedHat is the best at making you pay for something you can get for free.
the multiple logins feature, integrated CD burning, Hibernation, multilingual support, mediaplayer 8, IE6, system restore, remote assistance, etc. All good reasons for the average user to upgrade.
Look, I don't care, I use Windows for my day to day tasks and I use Linux to learn about computers, so I can be closer to my machine. Windows is great, I don't see why we should boycott it. It's nice to see that now we can choose which OS we want to use and I don't want anyone to tell me which one I should use.
well I don't need Real or Java. I think they should ship the goodies on a different CD. Once you install Windows, you can slide the Goodies CD in the CD Drive and install everything you need.
I don't think you used Windows XP, maybe you should visit msdn.microsoft.com. We sometimes have to use Media Player so we can download from the intranet the interview the VP gave.
If you're using Win2k, you're not encouraged to upgrade. Sure Windows XP makes it easier for the support people to connect to another machine and fix it but you can use WinVNC instead.

It wasn't exactly an IIS exploit, it was the Index Server plugin for IIS exploit.
The question is, why would you want to stop it?

they're modifying the hardware, not the software.
now wait a minute here, lawyers do enjoy lying

Well some terrorists are using MS software, I guess the FBI will raid MS to. This is getting ridiculous, censorship must be stopped.
In short, you only hire idiots, no wonder the tech industry is going down.
but I'm making less money than ever and I'm happier than ever.
Apple, IBM and Xerox are all mostly hardware companies so they don't count.
I drank so much soda that I became allergic to it, but did that stop me? No
I bill for my time and of course I include the source, however I do feel bad for the original programmer who made most of the work.
Let me get this straight, Miguel wants to clone MS software so he can give the people an alternative? A genius's idea indeed.

I thought that Slashdot was against censorship.
I may look like an idiot by saying that but dude I can't write in VB, it's too weird for me to understand.
Obiously, this machine is worth more than I am :)

well then I better get into the hardware business.

I don't know, but then again why don't you stay with Kernel 2.0 for a couple of years or so?
I can't believe it's butter :)
Let me remind you that Adobe was much worse, hell they didn't even use encryption.
Like it or not, anything digital can be cracked. Live with it.
