You see, we already knew they were taking you for a ride. Ah, but no, out you were believing the all-american microsoft of innovation (Microsoft has NEVER been an innovator.... EVER.... EEEEVEEEEERRRRR).
I only skimmed through the text of the patent. Now, what I dont get is how can they claim infringement if the patent includes a speciffic set of heuristics, without proving that webOSs (this sounds so funny in spanish: means eggs) is using precisely those?
But the fact of the matter is that available apis to.NET, even the full fledged thing from microsoft, is AGES away from giving you the flexibility of the open source platform as embeded by most linux distributors.
Throw j2ee on top of that and.NET seems ages, ages, ages away from anything similar in flexibility and cross-compatibility and much mroe now that we have a trully open certified jdk.
I hate java as much as any good c developer, but the thing is old, rich and its now GPL.
Its still much more expensive than the alternative. You get databases, cluster and virtualization in one 2,500 suscription from redhat that includes a 1 hour SLA for a year. No need to pay per user. Anything. Ever.
Sounds REALLY COOL (but then, im one of those that actually read the book). Id say with the current environment on software patents, it would be critical to your goals to aquire the patent so that no trolls could come and attempt to bite us in the ass in the future as has happened to some media formats (and to our collective arses).
So go, go, go do the patent thingie to appease the trolls. Yes, they may be in the way of the dodo, but we will never know until they are gone and this are some fiesty and angry troll-dodos with wads of cash to buy senators and presidents....
Id like to thank the academy first, then my manager, then the community that made all of this possible.
Of course, thank you too Neko: your intelligent remarks really keep all of us on our toes.
Having said that, id like to say that a member of the Linux community would have no need to post as an AC to make a general and completely baseless attack on firefox (especially firefox, which kicks most other browsers in the nuts for most users) if he wasnt: a) Trolling b) A Microsoft Shill c) All of the above (astroturfing for microsoft)
I actually can even agree with him (or you), on the state of oo.o or ff, but really: either everything else (in browsers and office suites) thats out there fits the general and unfair description he just made, or he is just trolling and/or astroturfing.
Is that so hard to understand?
Mhm... ah, its only my obnubilating hatred what makes me write this. I understand.
He makes a great point. However, i wouldnt diss linux in that play. Its not stoping either, citrix is not exactly cheap and XP will still be for pay/per head.
A dog is a guy, one loves them. True. But they are an experience that changes your life.
What you want to do if you loose a great companion dog is grieve... and then, when youre ready, go and have a new adventure with a new dog! Why the exact same genome?
The genome means nothing to human emotions. Nothing at all. We can adopt and love our children as our own. We can love people that are not in our family and will never be.
The genome is only a code that generaly states how the hell the thingie will look, what diseases it inherits, what inheritable strenghts can it inherit. But its not, at all, the same individual (it really CANT be the same individual, you see? Not in this universe. To quote Dr. House "ive complained, but there you have it").

Depends on costs my friend. Apple did that much at ten times less investment on R&D.
Shoulve been on slashdot a while ago....
You see, we already knew they were taking you for a ride. Ah, but no, out you were believing the all-american microsoft of innovation (Microsoft has NEVER been an innovator.... EVER.... EEEEVEEEEERRRRR).
So, you get what you deserve.

There, fixed it for ya.

Thats just the thing. Here in foss land, we ONLY do enterprise editions not ladden with EULAs and CALs.
Its just plain better.
Look, it works fine.

Talk to the Open Invention Network or that thingie IBM et al did exactly for this: dont go closing your patent! Free it for ALL!
Thing is, when bill gates is the guy doing it, i dont know, i just dont buy it.
Yeah... they make great coffee and a really boring devel environment.

And do a budget for "legalizing".... you will see how the general manager thinks about "his" software.
We call it debian.
There you go!
That is a well thought out critique. Have a really nice browsing experience with chrome.
I aint gonna try it till it does linux though, and well, i want my browsers open source.

I love new Microsoft astroturfing.
Its like watching a five year old attempting to debate the existance of santa and the inexistance of a need to go to school.
Kudos, MIcrosoft: too little, too late.
Work for the fucking RBN!
They are good, they just are in the service of the mob.
Great, Mr Vladimir!

This are good times for linux anyhow.
Yes yes, this is precisely the point.

ooo 3 reads them perfectly as far as ive seen.
Get over it. You have no power nor you should have over what your neighbor wants to do with HIS life.
Even where mariguana is legal, most people DO NOT abuse it. Not in spain, not in holand.
Salvia is not for newbies my friend. That is one rough trip
pfft
Sayz who?
Ive tons of clients running all the office in linux!
The answer to all those questions is.... LINUX.
And thats that. Pretty simple, huh?
"THEY" dont want you to know.
Now you may disapear and be sucked into the net. Perhaps youll be turned into a piece of google, a blob at slashdot.
Thinking straight is never a good idea. Expressing good ideas nowdays, is suicidal.
