But credit card companies don't employ people with guns and badges that can kick in your door and take you to a holding cell without a reason--and thats the difference!
no , credit card companies only do that when you don't pay your bills on time.
First, as someone else already said, just becuase it uses a linux kernel doesn't mean they modified anything, it could be a stock kernel. If they wrote userspace drivers and/or kernel modules using existing interfaces for their custom hardware, they are not obligated to release anything.
Even if they use a stock kernel. they still have to suply the source of the stock kernel if they distribute a binary. read the GPL.
SAP is not a database company and they don't want to be one. So, they opensourced they code of there DB. That probally didn't work. so now they are outsourcing it to the compay behind the most populair opensource database.
everybody seems to have heard of IBM DB, Oracle, or Microsoft SQLServ
Shouldn't that be everybody who knows about databases? SAP is one of the tree big players on the ERP,CRM,HRM(or whatever TLA they use now). I suspect that more users know that they use SAP than that they know which database there ERP program uses.
SCO will continue to support existing SCO Linux and Caldera OpenLinux customers and hold them harmless from any SCO intellectual property issues regarding SCO Linux and Caldera OpenLinux products.
how are they going to do that without violating the term of the GPL?
"If the courts decide that usage does not constitute a derivative work, than anybody may use your GPLed code (without modifying it) and distribute their stuff even though the GPL says otherwise."
Yes , that would allow someone to distribute the programm which links against a gplled libary. But section 7 of the gpl forbids the distribution of the library when a court disagrees with the license.
the only arround this would be having the end-user download the library himself.
The article talks about the council of europe and not about the european union. They aren't the same. The EU has less members than the Council of Europe and got more policitcal influence.
Vapourware: Products announced far in advance of any release today is 27 oct they announce that you can download it on 29 oct. since when is two days far in advance??

Move to a country or state with decent labour laws.
You are insane if you do accept it. what worth is money if you don't have time to spend it or share it with anybody.
And don't think it will only take 6 weeks. if you accept it, they will demand the same thing from you on the next project.

TCP/IP goes against the OSI standaard. this just proves his point that it is better to inovate than to follow a standaard

different results of course.

with stv A would have won.
but with pairwise(or whaterver it called) C would have won.
It makes sense for a project like debian since it won't be good to have projectleader who isn't the liked by a large part of the developers.
They are looking how often a candiate is higher on the list than an other candiate.
the one who wins the most compares wins the election.
Isn't WSAD based on Eclipse? I thought that was IBM's plan.
so, it got an AI which cannot be turned off and it looked like a spreadsheet.
Are you sure you aren't mistaking it for Microsoft Excel?
yes, mono has there own CLR.
but more intressting is that the dotgnu project also targets parrot. so you could write c# code and run it on parrot.
How many drive does a computer user need to read every type of disk currently avaible on the market?
There are just to many. what good is a disk if you cannot exchange it with your classmates or collegue's.
If we were using the HURD, the kernel would be 900 megs by now... (and Emacs would be a kernel module)
Since when is having a choice from 900 megs of kernelmodules bad?

That depends of the point of view.
the MIT license maybe more free for an individual, because a person can make a non-free version of the software.
But the GPL is more free for the whole world, because nobody can create a non-free version.
the site says:
"GNU Press is committed to publishing affordable books on computer science using freely distributable licenses."
I don't know if it aplies to this book.

Q: Can I create a Beowulf cluster using many Simputers?
/.er; in which case you know the answer!
A: You must be a
that isn't right.
a)You are comparing a full version of a product with the upgrade version.
b) you need an OS to run exchange on.
taking the price of a full version of exchange and a full version of windows 2000. $644+$1200 =$1844
Didn't MS tax orginal aply to new computers which always came with a MS OS. even if you didn't want the OS, you still had to pay the license.
