    My point is the same.

    You are 100% correct.

    This is telling:

    However, Linux is in many ways a throwback to more primitive systems. Not only is it repeating the mistakes of its predecessors, it apparently is introducing a brand new set of problems, having to do with intellectual property.

    This line of propaganda was expected. This is the entire goal, to break the collective thoughts of disparate programmers around the world. They want to *blame* Linux, to belittle Linux, so that the megacorps can control.

    You can guess the nature of future propaganda.

    More FUD, step around, nothing to see here.

    There won't be a study on EULA. This is just FUD. If for some reason there is a study on EULA, it will not be in Germany! The BS message will be that an EULA from a company is better than [L]GPL, and therefore you are safer buying software from a warm, caring organization such as Microsoft than to risk the elements in FOSS land.

    I seem to recall that most 'normal' (ground-based) lightning only occurs over land or near land. That should be a clue as to what is happening in the upper atmosphere.

    1) It's IBM who's getting sued. They probably employ more lawyers than the DOJ, and it would be catastrophic for economy if the company were seriously damaged.

    The same can be said about Microsoft.

    Not always. A more likely explanation is the 'many eyes' that can review the code.

  20. Re:List poisoning clearification. on Linus Moves To OSDL, Will Work On Kernel Full-Time · · Score: 4, Informative
    My reading on this is as follows.
    An entry on a linked list is to be freed.
    Upon it being removed from the list, it's pointers (prev/next) are 'poisoned'
    by being set to hopefully really, really invalid addresses.
    This is to catch any bad code that continues to use the now invalidated pointers.
    The bad addresses should cause an opps instead of allowing the code to possibly trash other valid data structures.

    Clarifications welcome.
