Simply stating "Corporatization" is a massive mischaracterization and oversimplification of describing the situation. Here is a peek in history from 2005 on the IETF mailing list itself and how IETF tried to sabotage the ratification of Zeroconf (Apple's Bonjour is the best known implementation of the Zeroconf protocol). This isn't simply "Corporatization" as both Apple and Microsoft are fighting and some in the the IETF actively trying to undermine it under the guise of simply offering alternatives (that nobody wants or plans to implement and is broken by design).
From Wikipedia: "OHA [Open Handset Alliance] members are contractually forbidden from producing devices that are based off incompatible forks of Android." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O...
This has a chilling effect on hiring manufacturers to build your actual device when most of them are already tied to OHA.
Gartner has a terrible track record. If you see any article citing Gartner statistics or predictions, you are best served by ignoring and moving along.
What's with this "likely" adjective crap? Did the judge actual use that adjective or did the media add that word? (I did RTFA.) The article quotes are forceful.
So what's with this with "likely" BS? Nobody ever says breaking into somebody's home without permission and stealing stuff is "likely illegal". What's with the double standard?
I'm often shocked how boards fail to do their due diligence.
HP didn't see the flags of vendor financing problems at Lucent under Carly Fiorina's watch. Remember Yahoo CEO Scott Thompson who lied about his degree and nobody caught it?
Maybe you're on to something. Since this is invitation-only, presumably VIP guests, maybe the real purpose is to build a "tin foil barge" to prevent snooping from the NSA and even Google itself. (nah)
Here's another problem. The government can call anybody it wants a terrorist group. This just happened in New Hampshire where the police in official filings called the Free State project "domestic terrorists".
Free Staters are made up of mostly libertarians who believe in the non-aggression principle. Their stated goal is to secure their liberty by gaining enough critical mass via representation in the standard election process. By any other definition, this would never qualify as terrorism, but that doesn't stop the government.
[Excerpt from Wikipedia]: Recently, several companies in Asia and Europe have begun to manufacture dietary supplements and energy drinks which contain synthetic versions of secretions of the larvae of Vespa mandarinia, which the adult hornets usually consume. The manufacturers of these products make claims that consuming the larval hornet secretions (marketed as "hornet juice") will enhance human endurance because of the effect it has on adult hornets' performance.
Instead of those arbitrary picks, how about looking at Google Summer of Code?
Those projects have conveniently listed what things they want help on and already have allocated mentors to lead those projects.
While you might not be a student, if you really want to help out, I bet most of those projects would welcome additional involvement and the mentors would be willing to talk with you if you are serious about helping.
In fact, the harm caused by gcc being GPL was the very reason Clang was invented.
The political motivations behind GPL forced gcc to be developed in such a way that it was monolith and impossible to build more advanced tooling that needed data from the intermediate stages of the compile process.
See Chandler Carruth's talk "Clang: Defending C++ from Murphy's Million Monkeys". At the beginning between 2:20 and 4:00, he quotes Richard Stallman's response to their proposed changes and demonstrates that using gcc is a non-starter.
Asking how much it costs is a smart question because everybody here seems to forget that Nintendo is licensing services like News from The Associated Press.
LucasArts shutting down is a significant and sad event, but adventure gamers should remember their history. Never forget Sierra Online's Chainsaw Monday.

Stuart Cheshire is the creator of Zeroconf and calls them out directly on the IETF mailing list in 2005.

Brown Zune?
Because he spent 10 seasons of TNG wearing a more advanced (and less stylish) Google Glass.
Dude, this is Slashdot. You're going to get crucified for that imprecision.

That is 45 months. (Past performance does not guarantee future results.)
Agreed.
Instead of worrying about the perceptions of success/defeat, how about actually making a product that is clearly profitable?

The parent post didn't deserve to be modded down. It is highly credible that Lua would have a very low defect rate. Lua has a small, clean, source code base, and it was audited by large organizations such as Verisign for high reliability databases and by The Wikimedia Foundation for security.
Unless they work with Toys for Bob, they can't reference anything in Star Control 1 or 2 because Toys for Bob retains the copyright for the characters and story.
