The company that is storing the reams of documents from the Microsoft case has been hired to shred the papers -- then they'll be made into toilet paper.
That is, Mozilla and Linux may be distributed together, but you can't take any substantial code from Mozilla and use it to make Gimp better.
Mozilla is actually available under serveral licenses at once:
Mozilla licensing is a "dual" (or even "triple") license scheme... to quote:
At the moment, parts of the source are available under either the Netscape Public License (NPL) or the Mozilla Public License (MPL), often in combination with either the GNU General Public License (GPL) or the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL), or both. mozilla.org is working towards having all the code in the tree licensed under a MPL/LGPL/GPL tri-license
So what you're saying may be true for MPL-ed code, but Mozilla isn't (strictly) MPL-ed.

Kent Brockman: Animotion is up an eighth... after plunging seventy five points this morning!
Homer: Oh, I hope plunging means up, and seventy five means two hundred!
According to the actual press release, the battery will be a rechargable lithium-ion type battery, which means no need to buy batteries, as it seems it will be built in.
In what way does copyrigt give anyone ownership of your property or personal freedom?
Every copyright holder is a partial owner of my CD burner, my Xerox machine, my hard drive, my VCR, my CD-Rs, etc because they dictate what I can and cannot do with my own property.
would have invested their time and hundreds of millions of dollars to create this work if there was no financial benefit in it for them.
We can turn your next sentence against you for this one:
this is a result of a free and capitalist economy, not the fault of copyright.
XMen-2 will make money not because it is protected by copyright, but because of market forces. Right?
I am a book publisher, and I can tell you with absolute certainty that people who write for a living actually like to make a living from their writing.
And like you said, that has nothing to do with copyright, but free market forces.
The only thing we know for sure is that -- no matter what -- there will be some dork out there bitching and moaning about how great games used to be, and how they don't make them like they used to.
Oh wow... the article just predicted what 85% of the/. posts on this topic are going to be.
That's like... weird, or something.
To round out the list:
"That's not really dying" posts.
Nostalgia posts ("I remember those games...").
Michael Moore's speech was great/terrible posts.
and of course
Posts that attempt to summarise what future posts will be like.
This is from Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach, by Stuart Russel and Peter Norvig, published 1995:
ALVINN (Autonomous Land Vehicle In a Neural Network)... is a neural network that has performed quite well in a domain where other approaches have failed. It learns to steer a vehicle along a single lane on a highway by observing the performance of a human driver....
The results of the traning are impressive. ALVINN has driven at speeds up to 70 mph for distances up to 90 miles on public highways near Pittsburgh. It has also drive at normal speeds on single lane dirt roads, paved bike paths, and tow lane suburban streets.
The only problem is the training... the system is unable to drive on roads that it doesn't have training data for. I glanced quickly at the DARPA rules and didn't see anything that would invalidate a "build a similar course and train on it" approach. So take ALVINN, build lots of courses that sound like the sort that DARPA is planning, and train, train, train!
you end up spending 90% of your time working on PS2, as it's such an underwpowered, poorly designed piece of crap. It's a hella fun system with the best games, but writing code for it just sucks.
I code for the PS2, and I like it just fine. Linux toolchain, gdb, MIPS instructions that you can actually understand,... what could be better?
The thing spends more time waiting on instruction cache stalls than executing code.
Then you have poorly written code. Try using the ICACHE performance counters sometime to find your bottlenecks and FIX THEM.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that trade secrets, which seems to be the basis of this action, are only as good as you're trying to enforce them.
IBM has been interested in Linux for some time, and Linux has been around for even longer; if there were trade secret problems, SCO should have complained immediately, back then. Waiting until now may provide IBM with a lot of ammo.
On the other hand, I may be confusing trade secrets with trademarks... little help?
This is the cooker test package, so there are "no guarantees".
Having said that, the cooker has been tracking XFree86 CVS for a while now, and many many people do use the cooker, so many people have been hammering on CVS builds.
Now that XFree86 is final, us cooker people will hammer on it for a bit to find the last few wrinkles before it goes into Mandrake's next release.
and that's about where Ryan has been stuck now for 10 years, floating between #17 and #12.
I was born in 1974. I wonder what happened in the 1950s - 1960s that caused such an upswing? I can't think of any popular celebrities named Ryan from that era. Any insights?
Producing one car is very very very expensive. That's why cars are "mass produced" on "assembly lines" (familiar with these terms?), because then the marginal cost goes down as number of units cranked out goes up.
But your "build your own car" analogy isn't totally lost... open source is kind of like the industrial line... more software is produced better/faster/cheaper thanks to the massive parallelisation/de-centralisation of development and the opportunities to reuse and build on the work of others.
Er, shouting into the wind on the beach notwithstanding (nice imagery though... I think Charleton Heston should get that part).

flip.
(See the adjectival sense).
Hope that helps.
But since the linked article had eye candy, you get a pass.

Nope. A lightly loaded mirror I found... I think it's in the Czech Republic. Very fast for me even though I'm in Canada.

Many eyeballs, or something like that...
Thank you Mandrake!
