Goddamn it, yes. It's hilarious how many devs have no clue about FOSS, and just swipe GPL/LGPL because "It's free, I can do what I want with it." And that's from the ones who actually bother to even read as far as the 'free' bit, rather than just appropriating the first piece of source that they find via Google and putting their own name at the top.
De facto, if you 'open' your source, people will use it, regardless of whatever license you put on it. Unless you've got a team of lawyers in every country in the world, then you might as well just accept it and stop expecting people to stop acting like people (i.e. thieves and liars).
Out of interest, do you even have a Vista install? I don't, but then again, that's why I'm refraining from making any topical comments in this article.
If it weren't for the costs, we could build one this year. Materials exist today that are strong enough and light enough to support the weight of the lifter and itself.
What materials are those then? They're available today, apparently, so no more R&D. Given an unlimited budget, but constrained by the available manufacturing capability, what do you build the beanstalk from? Fairy wings and yeti pubes?
He's not a complete idiot; like most cult leaders, his answers are related enough to the questions that were actually actually asked that he'll fool the gullible and the True Believers.
Bingo. People on the success path don't come across as whiny and aggrieved, and are far too busy to care about a bunch of nerds bitching about them online. I doubt he's really that bothered though; he's just whoring for more investors.
No, genius, that's a different issue. This is what the parent is referring to:

Perhaps Leader Laine mis-'spoke', but that looks like a pretty crackpot claim to me. What materials, specifically what materials capable of being woven into a single 100,000km strand are available right now, today?
Mind you, Leader Laine also makes a good fist of answering slightly different questions than the ones that were asked, so you're in good company.
Yes, wonderful story, but in terms of casting, dialog, lighting, pacing, direction and editing - quite apart from the effects - I find that I have to agree that Babylon 5's a big pile of shit.
XP? Y'all from the future?

I have a fully licensed copy of Win2K Pro that I have faithfully moved from machine to machine for the past 7 years. It doesn't require registration, is rock solid, and does everything that I need it to do as well as XP or better, including software development and gaming.
I'll update from 2K when my disk and all the backups rot (must remember to take another), or I absolutely need hardware that absolutely won't support 2K. Until then, as far as I'm concerned, Microsoft peaked 7 years ago, and it's been all downhill from there.
Au contraire; you can charge people for your patent from the instant that you file it, and collect the money retroactively if and when it's granted. Since these parasites have no other business, there's little point in any individual company fighting them over this. They'll get their Danegeld, make no mistake about it.
And I've seen it the other way: "Oh, it's Free, I can do whatever I want with it." Which makes them Open Source developers rather than Free developers, but my point remains: they don't know that.
Off the top of my head, I'd say it's that most Slashdot 'editors' either never knew what Samba is, or have forgotten. The critera for employment seems to be "Was at Taco's wedding."
Agreed. I am not a fan of Linux development environments, but there really is nothing like Valgrind available for Windows, so run as much of your code as possible through Valgrind on Linux. I'd say that it is worth the effort, even if you have no intention of supporting a Linux distribution.

Sure, because Jamie's legal team are as good as Microsoft's, and they work for nothing. Also, Alyson Hannigan just called me, and says that she wants me. She wants me bad.

No, but seriously now, what would you use?

See, that's how to synopsise.
Kudos to maximus1 for incorporating the typo intact while ripping off the source article.
I dunno, she looks like a double bagger to me. Maybe with some make-up and a new hairdo.
And I can charge you with making an idiotic irrelevant comparison. Why would I bother though?
What colour is the sky on your planet?

(or at least never understood it) so I doubt they'll be bothered by the details of what GPL3 actually says either.

Oh, that Fortify? I'm talking about this one, which I assumed from the context of the question.
Agreed. I am not a fan of Linux development environments, but there really is nothing like Valgrind available for Windows, so run as much of your code as possible through Valgrind on Linux. I'd say that it is worth the effort, even if you have no intention of supporting a Linux distribution.
Fortify (in conjunction with Valgrind on our Linux platforms):
Total Files: 11503
Total Bytes: 118311913
Total Lines: 3548892
Total Symbols: 222890
85 million units shipped, on a dozen different platforms, via at least that many OEMs.
If Fortify isn't working for you, you're not using it right.
If one manages their objects correctly, C/C++ perform quite well too.
