To go off on someone for getting an airplane wrong.. and getting the airplane wrong yourself.
The plane in the top right is definitely an F-15 as is stated in the caption. The side-mounted air intakes are a little hard to see, but are obviously different from the bottom-mounted air intake of the F-16, however the giveaway is the tail. F-16s have a very differently shaped tail than the F-15, and it's an F-15 tail in the picture.
Seems like every time an announcement like this is made a week later we find out they aren't making the source available..
It should be noted that..

GCC 3.4.0 Released
·
· Score: 2, Informative
Precompiled headers were disabled FOR CAUSE in this version.
There are some known defects in the current precompiled header implementation that will result in compiler crashes in relatively rare situations. Therefore, precompiled headers should be considered a "technology preview" in this release.
Assuming you're sending a word in each UDP packet, and joining them with spaces, you could never get "ll'll". Possible never the "I." either.
To be fair to UDP, it does guarantee (actually IP guarantees this) that packets received will be valid. You can't get a bad UDP packet. You can lose the packet, get the packet out of order, or even (somehow) get a packet multiple times, but you will NEVER receive a corrupted packet.
There may be some freak case where your corrupted packet could checksum to the same as the original packet and make it through, but I've never heard of this.
yeah. you're right. I wasn't thinking. I guess I just don't think of the tree Linus maintains as being anything other than the Linux kernel. Everyone else's tree is their name.. but Linus's is just linux.. at least that was my thinking
BTW, not all 386's were 32-bit. I'm not sure what the exact details are, but only the 386DX was a full 32-bit chip. The 386SX had significant 16-bit parts.
This is why Linux requires a 386DX or better. It is not because Linux requires a math coprocessor (which the 486 SX -- which is fully supported -- doesn't have)
Now before someone tries to say otherwise, the 386 SX/DX letters mean something far different than the 486 SX/DX numbers. 486 SX didn't have a math coprocessor (or it was disabled) whereas the 486 DX did. NO 386 chips had a built in math coprocessor. You had to add a 387 chip on the motherboard. 486 SX chips could not be upgraded to to have a math coprocessor. There was no such thing as s 487 coprocessor (I'm 95% sure on this last bit)
Probably not the big one. This only is a declaratory judgement on SCO's copyrights, which, in the Groklaw web site it mentions, SCO hasn't brought up (yet).
If the judge says there are no copyright infringements, there could still be contract violations, which is what SCO is suing IBM over.
This might get rid of some of the RedHat and Novell lawsuits, but not the original IBM suit.
Or buy them some music from here where the artist gets 50% of the proceeds. BTW, don't be fooled into thinking that iTunes or whatever gives money to artists. It's just as bad as buying a CD. Unfortunately, there's no way to buy music you hear on popular music stations and actually have a reasonable portion of that music get to the artist </rant>
BTW, james a. m. joyce, if you'd spent the time to read the article before criticizing the editor, you'd realize that the parenthesis come directly from the article and that Timothy did not change anything.
GPL has the copyright notice, so it'll still get protection. But, unless you register, you can't win extra damages when someone violates your copyright. IANAL.
What do you mean by "protection"? What does "win extra damages" mean? Do you have any links to back this up? This isn't very reassuring for me.
If your application is licensed under the GPL or compatible OSI license (learn more at opensource.org) approved by Backplane, Inc., you are free and welcome to ship the Backplane open source database with your application.
followed by:
If you power an application using the Backplane database that you market or sell, or use that application to conduct any form of online commerce (selling/buying products or services over a website) you need to purchase the Backplane Commercial License.
The example given is if you run an email service from which you sell access to other companies, you must buy the commerical license.
My question is, what if the program that provides the email service is GPL. Do I have to buy a commercial license or not? One of the great things about GPL software is that if it's an internal piece of software, you can mix proprietary and GPL code as much as you want, as long as you never redistribute the program to anyone.
Also, how does dual licensing work with this? Can I license it under the GPL to myself, and then sell copies under another license to other people? Obviously THEY would have to buy a commercial license, but do I?
Just trying to point out some holes in the licensing..
Oops, just noticed the part at the end saying: NOTE: In any of these examples, if the entire application or service is 100% GPL compatible, you may use the Backplane Free License.
But that still leaves open the question about dual licensing..
If an anti-particle enters the black hole, it LOSES mass.
So we have these virtual particles blinking in and out of existence. One particle, one anti-particle. I understand that when an anti-particle falls into the black hole and the normal particle escapes, the black hole loses mass. Makes perfect sense.
I want to know, why don't an equal number of particles fall into the blackhole while the antiparticle escapes?
Seems you would get a 50/50 distribution leading to no mass change..
I'm sure I'm missing something. Can someone tell me what it is?
When will SCO and other corporations learn they hurt no one but themselves.
Probably when their stock stops going up. A year ago, their stock was worth a tad over a dollar ($1.11), now it's worth $13.84. It's one-year high is $22.29. Talk about making stock holders happy.
I tell you when this will stop. When the people who do it start going to jail.
I hate the way people can get away with giving away "content" at inflated prices. If they gave away $5.6M in MEDIA costs of CDs to educational entities, I'd feel like they were punished. This is like MS giving away a bunch of software.
I've written this many times before, but it's not a punishment/loss of revenue if there was never any money in the first place. If the CD's cost $.10 each for them to make (made that number up, but it seems reasonable), then it really cost them $560K. A large number, but not nearly as large s 5.6M. If they had to REFUND $5.6M back to educational groups that had purchased CDs, that would be the way to really punish them.
This is just like MS offering to give a bunch of money's worth of software to schools. It doesn't cost 'em anything to give stuff to a place that would have never bought it in the first place, since initial R&D is the cost, and that's constant. Distribution is a trivial cost at the end.
Slashdot Mirror
No, I was kidding :) I didn't have anything intelligent to say, so I posted that instead..
If you go to the book store at your local college/university, you can pick up OOo at an educational discount.
Proof that the slashdot lameness filter doesn't work.

where's the source for their modified linux?

Gentoo is also happy to let you install a vanilla linus (sic) kernel..
Why you'd want to, I don't know..

Etherapeis a free pretty picture of who's talking to whom and what language (protocol) they're talking.
Works great.
I think I'll give it another year or so before I get on line for tickets.
You don't have to get a ticket to rent it at blockbuster.. I don't understand.

Just like the parent said, except not to an opera house.

I'd like to say that the parent post is *EXTREMELY* important and must be addressed.
Most open-source developers take their copyright for granted. One says that his/her code is GPL (or BSD or whatever) and *poof*, like magic, it is.
I don't know what is involved in registering for a copyright, but I'm sure it's harder than doing nothing.
These fears may be misplaced, but I'd like someone to address them.

I'd just like to say that this post is exactly correct, and the original poster has no idea what's going on and should be modded down as such.
When will SCO and other corporations learn they hurt no one but themselves.
Probably when their stock stops going up. A year ago, their stock was worth a tad over a dollar ($1.11), now it's worth $13.84. It's one-year high is $22.29. Talk about making stock holders happy.

Which station? Was it Magic 98.9? That wouldn't surprise me at all. That station is faulty even when it's working...
I'd like to write it here right now that I can't read. (And I can't since I have to wait 2 minutes between posts...)
5.6 million CDs. Not $5.6M in CDs.
I'm going to shoot myself now.
Thank you, and have a nice day.
These CDs? Yeah, they're each worth $5,000 USD.
I hate the way people can get away with giving away "content" at inflated prices. If they gave away $5.6M in MEDIA costs of CDs to educational entities, I'd feel like they were punished. This is like MS giving away a bunch of software.
