I stopped reading at "while the world settles on C# instead of Java, as with X11 and NeWS?" Please tell me how this analogy works when C# isn't open like X11 was; at all. In fact java is way more open than C#. What a terrible analogy to base your whole argument on.
Fucking awful analogy. If buying the engine to a car was more expensive than buying the car itself then you'd have a point. The individual part (the harddrive) costs more than the whole thing (mp3 playing hardware + battery + harddrive). Find me a replacement part for a brand new car that costs more than the car itself and then come back to the discussion.
Shut the fuck up. He didn't say they were running it , in fact his whole point was they almost certainly weren't running it. They were searching for it. I've searched for information on solaris before: that doesn't mean I'm typing this message on a solaris box. Got it?
You could make the same argument that when healthcare is talked about in the context of the US government it is generally assumed to only refer to things such as "hosipitals must operate on emergency room patients even if they don't have insurance". Not "breast implants for free !!!111 Teh government should buy everything!11".
"Everyone should have an equal right to the same quality of education." So private colleges should be outlawed and everyone should have the same quality of education, regardless of whether they are a worker at mcdonald's or a chemical engineer?
Shut up. Of course thats not what their designs want. Its just that the statement "no remote hold in the default.. blah blah" is still true. Thats all the parent said. Of course this still a bad thing; but don't act like anyone said it wasn't.
To me, not teaching assembly in a CS major would be insane. It would be like teaching physics without any of the history of how it was discovered and without showing how to derive the various equations from the more fundamental equations. My first 3 semesters were in java. My fourth semester I was in a C, Assembly, and an intro ECE class and I am very glad that I was. The combination of these 3 classes at the same time was great. Sometimes it is a lot more helpful to learn why something works or how something works than just learning (heard countless times in my java classes) "Oh don't ask questions about that, its not something you need to know. Java handles this for you automatically." If you want it to only be taught like that thats great; just don't expect any of your students to ever create the next java.
Also, you do know that compilers are written by programmers don't you?
Umm if the GPL was modified in the way you seem to want, you'd only have to release your changes to a function and that would be that. This would be great until you release a product, don't give the source other than one simple function call from with in their function that replaces a host of parts of it with your own proprietary code. In this case you'd still be doing a complete derivative work but you would be using the rules to say that it stands on its own and just uses the GPLed function as a helper (whereas your function is really the helper). The language of the GPL is necessary and while it would be better in theory to not worry about code that you link with, in practice it doesn't work. At all. You could get by with publishing hardly any modifications at all, the only source being release could be only calls to closed source modifications.
Your example is bad. How about this: say a slashdot editor quit and started a new job and on his resume it said "used to be an editor at slashdot." Slashdot would have no right to sue him unless they had entered into some kind of contract with him stating that he can't tell people he worked at Slashdot. Hence, the exact same question whose answer you did nothing to help find still stands: did Disney enter into a contract where pixar can't say they created certain movies? I'll go ahead and say no to this. However no doubt pixar probaly can't create sequels etc, thats a hell of a lot different than not being able to make bosts about previous work. Speilberg can still say he has directed x or y film even though his distributers have been numerous. If he entered into some kinda of contract where he couldn't, everyone else on earth still could.
No dumbass, take econ 101 and then come back to Slashdot, you little shit. Its not in your country's best interest whatsoever that you be employeed at something for which there is a cheaper alternative just for the sake of keeping you employeed in the field in which you want to be employeed. It is not your country's best interest; it is your best interest. There is a big, big difference. If you ran the country you would pay workers to dig holes and then fill them up with our excess money, its better to be insanely wasteful and keep unemployment down than it is to heaven forbid make some little fuck like yourself a little more competitive in the job market now isn't it? Fuck off.
just middle click in the front of the text in the box and then delete the text after it. still a MAJOR bitch but I know there is probaly some easy easy ass solution that we don't know about.
Slashdot Mirror
You do know that water is a chemical don't you?
Umm when you buy from a retail store many times the store is selling at a loss. Bestbuy did this for years. 40% is a huge over estimate.
How about for public domain footage? Not so moot.
Maybe the submitter could learn to use paragraphs. His story submission is damn long.
Nice Sig. I love the way in which you imply that everything thought by one group of slashdotters applies to all slashdotters. Thats a nice touch.

Well let me know how your math book made by a tap dancing professor turns out. I'll be waiting.

My life is so uninteresting that the screen burn in would ruin my TV.
So what? 64k canadian is what like 4 dollars?
Please please, go here instead. MUCH higher numbers of players, over 1300 on peak nights.

"and give back accordingly per any licensing agreements. " Then in the case of the bsd's they wouldn't be giving back anything. But they do.
Umm thats how all royalties work. Unless you mean he would pay more in royalties than he would make per sale.
Shut up. Of course thats not what their designs want. Its just that the statement "no remote hold in the default .. blah blah" is still true. Thats all the parent said. Of course this still a bad thing; but don't act like anyone said it wasn't.

Are you talking about the speed of light? Because last time I checked the gravitational constant did not depend on being in a vacuum
