Red Hat still puts resources into Fedora. Red Hat still puts QA into Fedora (in fact they caught flack for delaying it). Red Hat opened up the development to outsiders through Fedora. Red Hat changed the products name into something everyone can use and sell.
We get a more open, supported, release often OS.
So far this sounds great. In the coming months we will see if this really is a win/win.
I have tried to contribute to more than one open-source project and had the programmer turn down the offer for help or ignore a patch.
I think one of the reasons that people build open source projects is to prove themselves. The programmers want to be able show someone (a possible employer) what they have done.
(Although employers most likely want someone who can work with a team more than a "Lone Ranger")
I purchased a Sony VAIO and it works great technically. Unfortunately the hinge and hinge cover broke when the system was being closed normally.
I tried to get Sony to fix it and they wouldn't. They said I was the only one with that problem and that it was not a manufacturing defect. I don't call the hinge popping off the frame a feature
There is no way I am the only one with that problem.
They made a promise that they are now trying to break. Don't be seduced by the quick cash settlement. Stand your ground.
If it is not possible to get a lawyer or you just don't want to get a lawyer then here is some advice.
Don't make any aural arguments or aural agreements with them. Do all correspondence in writing. That way you have a record of all that is said. It will also remove the ambiguity, emotion, and give all parties time to think through their responses.
Get your final agreement signed and on company letterhead. Don't give them a way out.
They are breaking the contract; most contracts include sections detailing what to do if the contract is broken. Read and re-read the contract.
Quote the contract, their documents, and their correspondence to you in your written correspondence to them.

Does anyone have a success story for these sticks working out of the box on a linux distro.
I have become embarrassed when my Windows using friends want me to copy something onto their usb stick.
I am running Red Hat 9, and can not get the sticks to work. I can dual boot to Windows on the same hardware and they just work.
This is not about the government censoring what any content producer has to say.
This is about whether YOU have the right to watch something the way you want to watch it.
This is about limiting your freedom. Pay attention as slowly all of our freedoms disappear.
PS.
There is a vote on the ZD page. Go vote.
