  1. Middleware! on What High End Unix Features are Missing from Linux? · · Score: 1

    A lot of AIX boxes out there are involved in middleware systems.

    There isn't a lot of open source middleware available.

  2. Trespass is basic law on More on Intel v. Hamidi · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Trespass, be it to person, property or goods ("chattels"), is the most basic law in the theory of torts; you can't mess around with someone else's stuff without their permission.

    If someone has a mail server, you can't mess around with it. But if they attach it to the net, they are, prima facie, giving the public permission to use it in an ordinary way. They are like a storekeeper opening his store to the public. You can come in and buy goods. You can't come in a raid the safe in the store (i.e. break my secure areas). And the storekeeper retains the right to refuse entry to particular individuals. You can't go in if the storekeeper has expressly forbidden you to, even if you just want to buy goods.

    Assuming that Intel have made clear to the ex-employee that he is not allowed to send emails to their servers, they have every right to sue him for what he has done.

  3. On the client on Accessibility and Citrix? · · Score: 1

    You need to load the voice software on the Metaframe client PC. You also need to publish individual applications rather than the desktop in order to get context. It's not thin client, but it should work.

  4. Undo IP agreements in the GPL! on GNU and the General Public Employment Contract? · · Score: 1

    Most companies these days would use some GPL'd software somewhere, even if its only SAMBA on a HP-UX machine. Write in the GPL that where the software is used by a company, that any work performed on any GPL licensed software by the company's employees is also GPL'd. It wouldn't need to be the same software.

  5. MySQL does support transactions now on Are Expensive RDBM Systems Worth The Money? · · Score: 3

    Your information is old; MySQL does have transaction support now. http://www.mysql.com/news/article-18.html

  6. Re:Reverse engineering in non-US jurisdictions on Brief Analysis On Reverse Engineering Software · · Score: 1

    This was not a court ruling, but actual legislation.

  7. Re:it's about time! on SyncML 1.0 released; MAL Is Dead. · · Score: 1

    Just base the open source SyncML project in Australia - wonderful Section 87D in the Copyright Act.

  8. Where does Bill want to go today? on Could .NET Render An MS Breakup Verdict Irrelevant? · · Score: 1

    Can we safely assume that in the breakup billg is going with the applications (rather than OS) side? Will Linux lose him as an enemy?
