The web as we know it is alive and well with gpl code(and apache's license); (What R U smoking man?) go get some slashcode and start your own opencode is dead site!
Seriousley though, the future of the web lies in Freenet. Thier XML-RPC sounds like standards for future information flows. If all goes according to plan, kaffe will be humming on my webpad.
So I guess this means linux is great software now

Who was it that said it takes 10 years to make really good software?
33.Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths: 34.But I say unto you, *Swear not at all*; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: 35.Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. 36.Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. 37.But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
Is it smart to have techies grouped all together

Perhaps the NSA will have the anti-terrorism(anti-hacker) Alliance their to sqaush the rebel rebellion?
If the encyrption that freenet uses is a technological measure that controls access to copyrighted information, then it would be illegal for anyone to break the encryption. I see freenet's biggest shortfall is that it doesn't have enough "legal" copyrighted information on the network; a pretty good reason to start a complete sourceforge archive on freenet. If the IPDroids can use the dmca to protect their works, then us hackers should be able to use the dmca to protect our works.
As a freenet node operator, I feel no threat from IPDroids that I would ever be a direct infringer. I would be no more responsible for IP Infringement, than say a panty hose manufacture would be liable for using stockings in a robbery.
Since any remidy judgement would be on future products and not on existing ones, a delay in a remidy judgement on their XP release means, msft will have codified their future and any remidy judgement will have ZERO EFFECT on them!
XP will be there final operating system release, and all upgrades to allready released products will not be part of the anti-trust remidy judgement. So by beating the clock, msft can circumvent any court ordered remidy!
I also suspect that msft will not share their filesystem information with the corporation that makes partition magic; this will make installing linux on new devices very problematic. Sure you can buy a separate hardrive and linux can peacefully co-exist with XP, but having a dual booting IPAQ will be impossible, as you cannot have two separate bootable storage mediums on them. This will have the effect of forcing most people to choose XP or linux, but not both.
hospital If you fail to make your require upgrade, your device will be remotely disabled;don't you know this device is a rental!
consumer but, I just don't have the money.
hospital sorry, we have no control, the device is not ours and we have no control of the software. Our contract with the oem has our hands tied.. It's this simple, pay or die.
Is because their is no money to be made in a virtual drug war
However, cocaine is a 30+ billion a dollar industry, which congress cannot help getting their paws on that money.
Congress gets to look like heros as they siphon many billions of dollars from us(theft), getting some 30k per head of cattle(locking up small time dealers, leaving revolving door for violent offenders), while the kingpin and his banker friend have a very lucrative money laundering scheme going.. giving money to congress to keep the status quo.
If possession of cocaine wasn't so *highly illegal* and usa_south_america's drug policy(shooting down christain missionaries in the sky) wasn't designed to limit the supply on the market.. thus driving up the price so countries like peru have an income(their only one worth noting) and the drug trade keeps on flowing.
The last thing the prescription drug market wants is a deregulated/decriminalized drug market. The last thing a king pin wants is commodity pricing on their drugs. Congress prohibtion is mainely designed to keep the profit in the drug trade going, and it's a conspiricy from both the left and the right. gw senior had pardoned a heroin dealer and clinton pardoned a cocaine dealer.
Is this a sign of compassionatism? or a sign of dealings with the criminal eliment?
Will you promise me that you will not partake in selling your code to our government agencies thereby shifting the funding model from the consumer market to a tax payer subsidized one.
Don't include it with their main distribution if it infringes on adobe, rather include it on freenet, then users can do an upgrade via freenet's debian over apt-get.
It's pretty simple. A large portion of sports team owners get their revenue from network contracts. If the networks feel they cannot have control over their content(on the net hehee;-), then their product becomes a commodity, like the rest of the IP in the world.
If because of this the sports teams revenues go down, then so do the franchise valuations go down and the professional athelete makes 1/3 of what he does today.
If brodcasters cannot "lock up" their content, then their crapIP will be spread all over the net.(god forbid people actually watch any of their programming anyway they can)
Why don't the network television stations just upload their content to a freenet node is beyond me. They can embed advertising in their content and have the luxury of not having to pay for bandwidth!
Tell them that you've already developed such a program(years ago) in your spare time and ask them to pay you for it's use. License it out to them., if they refuse to pay your price, just quit.
I haven't priced it out, but i imagine you could purchase four 15" lcd displays along with a four head video card you could have a display of 30"x30" for probably a fraction of 8,000$.

Because there will be people who refuse to be controlled with hidden code, all in the name of protecting IP.
--the money is not in the IP, it's in the explotation powers that come with the hidden code which is protecting it!
Because in the digital relm, most everything done in hardware can be done in software also.
Did msft pay the inventor of the modem, when they made a software modem?

Fnord stands for Found Not On Road Dead. Appearently, msft is struggling to convince themself of that the inevitable won't happen. ;-)
Running Motif would be like getting behind the wheel of fifties car; it would work, but don't try anything fun with it.

I wonder if it's a water down version of loki's games or if redhat deluxe and professional ships with full versions of loki's games?
Does this have anything to do with linux graphics and multimedia format, ie.. SDL?
What effect will an open high quality multimedia codebase mean for the ability of commercial media clients to adopt it?
Isn't this the final nail in css's coffin?
