The worst-case scenario is a customer who buys a computer at the lowest price off your website, assuming it's a Windows machine, and then calls, infuriated, because it "won't work with the game they are trying to install".
And that's different from the problem with selling Vista boxen because...?
I did call it good coding practices, but you were probably so busy whacking off while trying to prove how superior you are that you had an aneurism and missed it.
Sounds likely. I mostly do BREW and WinCE (and the Windows and Linux builds that I didn't even bother mentioning). Just keeping up to date with what's hot and what's dropped is a task that I'd rather skip.
Given that their "under penalty of perjury" DMCA takedown strategy seems to be based on trivial grepping, I have to question their grounds for claiming a beelyon dollars.
And that's just the ones that I can remember off the top of my head. Some of these are legacy builds, but there are still customers who want them. A large part of our product family is platform abstraction code; if you want to support multiple mobile platforms, you either bloat your code with abstractions, or drown it in #ifdefs. In either case, you have to write to the lowest common denominator, and avoid anything that's even remotely platform dependent, which does engender decent coding discipline but at the result of reducing productivity. That's mostly a C issue, but even J2ME isn't immune, particularly when you have to deal with extensions like OpenGL ES or M3G.
If I never had to work in anything but (e.g.) J2MD CDC OpenGL ES or (gasps of outrage!) WinCE SP2005 again, I'd be a very happy bunny indeed.
For those who don't know, Enderle is one of SCO's pet shills. He's been pimping their case and talking down Linux from day 1; he's not qualified to talk about anything except mouth-whoring.
The fact that the Triad and Yakuza are modelling themselves on our proven practices shows that we just need to be having a debate about how we can better... "protect"... our "customers".
Slashdot Mirror
Freefall, not zero-G.
What's to persuade anyone to use J. Random Forkoff's kernel, rather than the Linus kernel? FOSS is littered with the corpses of dead forks.
No, I think they only track journalists, not Slashdot, uh, "editors".
I typed an E on a Metric keyboard, but Slashdot's Imperial software rotated it 90 degrees. I mean. PI/2 radians.
Wven with the current USD-Sterling exchange rate.
Wait... did you mean that it "weighs" 39.2857 cloves?
Seriously; can we please try to use metric consistently, as NASA are finally doing themselves.
Keep on stopping those filthy thieves from stealing "your" property!
Er... is the source available?
Like most tools of Big Media, he just ripped off someone else's work, namely the English Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988.
You think Google paid a billion dollars for the domain?
Your head is so far up your arse that it's coming back out your own nostril.
Eh, what "cheating employee" issue? With Slashdot showing their usual standard of "journalism", I don't even know what question was being answered.

Beats me, all I know is that its on our build list. Keeping up to date with all of the available (and unavailable) platforms is part of the problem.
-1, redundant; we've already had a post about Wii Sports.
Zing! 1999 called, they'd like their "Windoze is teh suxxorz" joke back.

Indeed; he's just that little chittering thing cackling spitefully on SCO the Hutt's shoulder.
Funny, I can't seem to find his name in any kernel commmits. Does he contribute under a pseudonym?
We're not sending anything. Trust us.
Oh, you checked, did you?
Then what we meant to say was... it's nothing to worry about.
Trust us.
Your IP address doesn't identify you? Someone should tell the RIAA that.

Do try to keep up, Colonial chums.
