Sheesh. Ask a legitimate question to spark a useful discussion, and you get labeled Troll.
No question was asked, legitimate or otherwise. What was posted was dismissive and sarcastic. It was subsequently demonstrated to also be ignorant. Apparently a moderator or two took that to be willful ignorance, which would indicate trolling.
According to the article, they make about (British pound sign) 67 for each person in the UK. That's an incredible number! If their margins are low, and presumably they are, then the average person would have to spend about BP1,000 a year in their stores. Staggering.
I wouldn't have said a word had you not made the implications that we were the originators of this behavior, or that we are the only ones who do it now.
I think the big problem is that we had the first real chance to be the originators of a whole new kind of behavior, but chose not to.
I just don't understand what he was thinking. That's the kind of result you'd get the first time you ever tried to use the clone tool. And then you'd think "Well that sure looks like crap."
You're incredibly naive if you think an unmodified Linux kernel is capable of running an embedded device like that....
I guess I didn't explain it very well, but that wasn't at all what I was saying. The OP said they'd just "move" to a different license. And I was attempting to make the point that it wasn't like they wrote something on their own, and they chose the wrong license. If they wanted to distribute under a different license they would have to use some other foundation.
Personally I'd have put that tag on "an article." The link on "tag the movies they've seen" is ok, but it's not as clear what I'll get by clicking on it. Still way better than the typical placement, of course, which would have probably been on "Movietally." (Which you used correctly, linking to the main page of the site.)
These little things can record the temperature and humidity that the case or pallet experienced.
Those big ugly shipping containers you see stacked up at ports do that now too, including recording their journey through the use of GPS. I was surprised to learn this, as they look like about the lowest tech there is - just a big metal box. But when one comes into port all that data gets downloaded and you can see every place it's been, and what the temperature and humidity were at the time.
I suspect from now on, D-Link will move over to one of the BSD's, probably FreeBSD.
It's not like it was something they wrote. They were using someone else's work, so they can't just "move." They have to either write their own or find some other work they can use.

You called him a moron. That's not exactly "just giving a heads up."

A flee market? Is that where they only have runaway best-sellers?
Then I realized it was you.
What did you think, that they get tapes in the mail?
Ya gotta admit he told it a lot better the second time around.
(Ugh. That's such a bad joke I can hardly even believe I typed it.)
Phased out? Javascript is becoming more important every day. You can't do much ajax without it.
You have a kingdom?
If it's disabled in two seconds, what does the reboot do?
You were much more polite than I would have been in having to actually explain it. I gotta learn how to do that.

Then the damn thing keeps killing me instantly, before I can make another move. Why do they make the bosses battles so hard this early in the game?

Stake 'n Shake? Is that some kind of vampire disco?
Strict Catholic then?
Hard to argue with that statement. Of course, there isn't a more expensive place to get diapers for $11 a pack of 68, either.
My smart-ass remark not withstanding, I agree with what you wrote.

(Not exactly on-topic, I know.)

And the guy says "Don't be ridiculous," and sets his 12 inch pianist on the bar.
No, but it does give some indication of motive. If I'm looking to make a quick buck, I sure don't spend 30 years turning it into a rather slow buck.
I doubt he's hurting for money. Maybe he's thinking "If I don't publish these they'll be gone forever, and I'd rather not have that happen."
