Here we go again. Let's release some real cool app, run only on netscape and preferably on linux.
Willy Webmaster notices it, and wants to use it. He creates a real cool 3d web app and puts in front page on corporate web site. One week later, willy is sacked by management because 85% of the visitors were completely unable to view the site.
So, the question is, will there be a COM wrapper to put it in IE??????? Or is it, as I suspect, not worth downloading?
Sure, the costs savings will be tremendous, but what you propose may not be percieved as 'safe' with the public. Sure, it's free, but what's the catch? Is the government to find out? People will bash you that there is no-one responsible(legally) after a crash causes severe data loss.
A few years ago, the BSA tried invading our country (the Netherlands) and sent out thousands of letters to different companies.
It wasn't long before the media picked up on it and the governmnent had to take a side. Their advice was: throw the warnings away. Ignore the BSA. They haven't got any right to invade a company; and the Dutch police will not assist them. I haven't heard anthing from them since.
Too crazy for words. I run my own company (1 employee: myself.) I can't wait for their audit so I can countersue them and have Microsoft pay my salary for the rest of my life.
I already have 'official' cd boxes with FreeBSD.. at least the back cover says "Berkeley Software Design, Inc." along with their address.
(for example, a CD with ISBN 1-57176-272-8)
So there's no news, I guess? I saw a loada new mico$oft hardware on other sites though.. -oh but we ignore them unless we can bad-mouth them, I guess.
My guess is that the feds are uncovering
previously hidden networks.. the more obscure the more investigated. and while looking for terrorists that way, theytrack down the warez d00dz 31331 instead.. what a shame

Did these people bother looking to see if the name had been used?
That would be so typically american!!
"Hey, I patented that name 20 years ago, so you cannot use it even though I don't use it myself.. and now I-am-gon-na-sue-you!"
Hi,
I must say that I am impressed by the skills of the so-called Indian software factories. Unlike most replyers here we've seen quite a few of them with our own eyes and these people are really more motivated and more skillfull than most comparable European software factories.
Though communication is the biggest problem this is true for all software projects that are developed in separate locations. These overseas companies have never done anything else than working remote -we can't call their internal market as profitable as the european and american IT markets. Methods have been developed and it is suitable for modern software development , especially UML or 4G/L.
So I'd say: go for it..
Good luck!

"Nice ap. yeah, reeeeeaaaaalll nice. Next!"
On the FreeBSD RELEASE page, it says:
The next scheduled release on the -stable branch will be FreeBSD 4.5 on January 26, 2002.
It said the same two days ago.
Marketing-wise this may noy be a 'wise thing'.

What's next? RIAA nocking on my door, armed with federal marshals (I'm not a US citizen) demanding my computer because I shared mp3's through Napster?
...painters nocking on your door to check wether you've got illegally printed posters of artwork hanging on the wall?
..'pr0n busters' checking for illegal pr0n on your HD's?
... BIOS manufacturers to check wether I made illegal copies of my BIOS???
... Hollywood to check for DivX??????????
This is too insane for words.
Just one tip. Hide your central servers somewhere SAFE and SECRET, bury the ethernet cables and play a fool.

For this to work, you'll need a *local* 'repository' which contains all possible data that their n-th dimensional data descriptors can point to.
This can be terabytes in size.. oh well, harddrives are getting cheaper and cheaper..
Hey, I've got the ultimate compressor for random data.... >/dev/null .. 1:0 compression
/dev/urandom ...?????
decompress, you say? what about retrieving it from

Ever heard of a CRC check? That's also the reason why satellite internet never took off.
