You don't need a license to use softare - only to distribute it. Nobody needs to accept the GPL in order to use GPL-licensed software.
Great. So I'm an ISV that uses GPLed software in my packaged solution, and I play nice and release the source.
If my upstream releases a security patch that's licensed under GPLv3 to a product that was licensed under GPLv2, I cannot integrate the patch into my solution without agreeing to the terms of GPLv3.
Congratulations, kids, you just killed a lot of set-top media boxes based on GPLed software.
Of course, this will never be proven because as anyone who has actually used online tabs knows...they're never 100% correct. Usually only about 40-80%, enough to get the basic progression down.
I'm kinda conflicted here.
1) Taking this website down is good as a public service for quality control.
2) This website is good because it and its ilk allow real musicians to distinguish the wheat from the chaff just that much more easily.
[This is damn well] pathetic. I mean, so what. The guy's dead. Leave his family alone. His family has enough stress as is with a deceased loved one, and to compound that stress with some lawsuit with this. Shit, I severely hope that the judge denies the RIAA any chance of money, and makes the RIAA pay in return for this. In fact, the family should counter-sue, if at all possible, to screw the RIAA out at any cost.

No, you dumb piece of shit. He doesn't get "voted out of office" unless he fails to win the general election.
As a practical matter he's dead in the water since he needs the economy of scale of his party to stay in office.
I dunno. Since the mouthbreathing superliberal bloggers were joyously proclaiming Lamont being 11 points ahead in the polls a week ago (I think they'd even given the Daily Tribune the go-ahead to use the word landslide in the banner headline), I wouldn't count Joe out just yet. The actual results of the primary futher support the 2004 Presidential Election finding that a great deal of blog blather about MOBILIZING! and TAKING BACK POLITICS FOR THE PEOPLE! ends up turning into SITTING ON MY COMPUTER AND BEING A CITIZEN-JOURNALIST! instead of actual "voting."
He could try to do a Nader... as much as that might help.
The main difference is that Nader wasn't an incumbent running against a one-trick pony who bought himself some national publicity. I listened to Lamont's acceptance speech last night and, apart from doing the typical "congratulate the loser" line, his platform appears to consist of:
IRAQ WAR BAD. JOE LIEBERMAN LIKE IRAQ WAR. JOE LIEBERMAN BAD. NED LAMONT NO LIKE IRAQ WAR. NED LAMONT GOOD.
Let's "fix" healthcare! I don't have any actual ideas other than we should have "more" of it!
Jobs are going away! I'm not sure what to do about this one, either!
Seriously, he actually went to the lectern without any prepared remarks (risking a Dean-style implosion) and delivered his best rendition of the Olde Tyme Soundbite Hour with a backdrop of, among others, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. As one of my friends remarked, it's like some assclown whose only previous electoral experience was campaign manager for a high school student council election told him "THIS WILL HELP YOU WITH AFRICAN-AMERICANS, SIR," which it probably will--at the cost of irritating the independents you need to win state-wide in CT.
With Lamont, Lieberman, and whoever the state GOP found to fill a suit running, you can bet that a most of the 48% who voted for Lieberman in the primary as well as a number of unenrolled moderates and moderate republicans are going to vote for Lieberman as well.
I learned two things from this primary:
Liberals are finally starting to learn how to use wedge issues.
A lot of people who bitch about two-party politics tend to be the same people who think that Joe should stop running just because he didn't win the primary.
On Tuesday, Wolf was thrown into federal prison for refusing to testify before a U.S. grand jury and for failing to hand over unpublished video footage he shot during a raucous clash on the streets between San Francisco police officers and anti-G8 protesters last year.
Second sentence of the second paragraph, you blind piece of shit.
Several incumbent Congress folks were voted out of office yesterday. The three that I know of are Joe Lieberman
Joe didn't get "voted out of office." He simply failed to get his party's nomination for re-election.
Fortunately for Joe, the election in November is for "United States Senator from Connecticut" instead of "United States Senator from the Democratic Party of Connecticut."
I don't mean to contradict you, but in the WWDC keynote address, Apple talks about what they've been developing--what has been directing their attention. Last year, it was mostly iTunes and iPod. This year, Apple has become more interested in Leopard and the Intel transition.
At last year's WWDC, the only real good news was:
1) Hey, Tiger shipped! 2) iPod and iTMS are doing really well!
Which was to soften the blow for
3) We're moving to Intel.
The move has ended up being almost overwhelmingly positive, but a lot of developers were scared shitless.
If Wolf was a big media corporation, the feds would never have bothered to file a subpoena. He's going to jail because they don't want citizen journalism, it's that simple.
If you have your XP home CD, you should be able to install it, howerer. Run X:\VALUEADD\MSFT\NTBACKUP.msi where X:\ refers to your CD-ROM drive-letter.
Excellent. That's a lot simpler and more intuitive than Apple's solution.
I would be very happy to find an alternative to MS Outlook. I'm sick of people reaching the "2GB" mail limit and the program wiping all their messages. It happens all the time, and causes no end of frustration in the IT department and especailly the end user.
If your IT department sets up users to download mail from Exchange to local PST files, each and every person responsible for that decision needs to be fired.
Must be a pretty poor media company. iTunes and iPod barely got a mention in the WWDC keynote. The focus was on Mac Pro, XServer, and OS X Leopard.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess that it's because Mac Pro, XServe, and Leopard are more relevant to the target audience of WWDC than iTunes and iPod are.
The works of "C.P.E. Bach" would not be funny in the least if Peter Schickele wasn't a devotee of both orchestral music and the intellectual culture which surrounds it.
I think you mean "P. D. Q. Bach." C. P. E. Bach was a real composer.

And fvwm95 is "very similar" to Aero.
But the vendor patches might not be.
Hope you didn't look at any of that GPLv3 code!
What's the difference?
You like one lawsuit but not the other.

Oh, really now?
Thank you.
And then tortured.
And then executed.
CIA does almost no SIGINT by itself.
Also, when creating your username, you misspelled "douche."
Legitimate subpoenas issued in legitimate cases should be obeyed. Think the subpoena is illegitimate? Petition to have it quashed.
Amazing.
