The important point to remember, though is *2 YEARS*. That's how long we have until the IPv4 address space is fully allocated at the top level. It may take a little longer (months?) before people start really feeling any pain from that at the end-user level. But its the critically important point for people to realize.
Son, they've been saying that for 15+ years.
Yes, there is a limit. But once IPV4 address space at the "top level" becomes scarce, it will be handled according to the rules of any scarce commodity - it'll become more expensive. That will encourage efficiency, free space from wasteful users, etc. Then we'll get close again, lather rinse repeat, etc. We will eventually hit the point of "full" but it's not like in September 2010 suddenly there will be no more routable IPs for the next system that needs one.
The FSF's chief legal counsel, Eben Moglen, is "arrogant and unscrupulous" as well as "crafty and cowardly"
Moglen has a "stated goal" that he's breaking the law by "stealing as much software as possible and putting it under the GPL even when doing so is illegal"
The FSF is fighting a "war against reality"
The only reason the FSF exists is to "keep stealing code until they get busted, go to court, and then go back to stealing as much code as possible."
Oh, and the "delusional and deranged" Richard Stallman is leading anyone who uses the GPL to a Jonestown-style koolaid suicide.
Why does anyone bother reading JC Roberts' nuttery? He sounds like he's either 14 years old, off his meds, or both.
At the moment, I'm drawing over 1000 tiles for a CIV-2 type game, because the 'freeland' tiles are GPL, and having to put the amount of work in to duplicate it that I am doing, I completely understand why.
What a colossal waste of time.
For an open source project like this, spending dozens (hundreds?) of hours of time redrawing tiles just because the license is different (yet still open) is really pointless pedantry. Wow, you've really struck a blow for your BSD license preference by wasting a ton of your own time. Congratulations.
It is possible, you realize, to release code that has both BSD'd and GPL'd parts...?
(Then again, why anyone would release code under the BSD license mystifies me...yes, I do understand the BSD zealot's arguments and they still seem more fashion than reasoned analysis to me.)
While it is annoying, it has to be said that copy protection only got so nasty because of the virtually unrestricted internet sharing of games. We've all done it at some point or other, so we're all to blame.
Son, it was annoying and nasty back in the Apple ][ days.
The publication of the Bible does not invalidate any of that. Catholic doctrine is that the Tradition and Scripture are equally valid in describing the Church that Christ wants to be on Earth.
Another way of saying that is that the Church believes that Scripture is a part of Tradition...since Tradition came first and Scripture to some extent just described it.
And yes, Pope Ratz was a member of the Nazi youth.
And so would you be, had you been born in Germany the same time he was. Every kid of age was a member. He did nothing with it and got out as soon as he possibly could.
BTW, he had relatives who were victims of the Nazis' T4 euthanasia program...do you? I see one of us has read his biography and one of us has not...
It sounds like you don't grasp the simple brilliance of this. Rather than having the kernel handle these bits, forcing a one-size-fits-all approach, you instead have other teams working on this, developing the GUI, customizing it to the task at hand. Look at Enlightenment, GNOME, KDE, each one fills a need, but none of them are exclusive.
The phrase "My name is Legion for we are many" comes to mind.
Yes, well, Legion in the Gospels was a demon (Mark 5:9)...so either you're making a BSD joke or implying that the bewildering diversity in the Linux world is the work of Satan:-)

Sea Launch is not an oil platform, was not refurbished, and was never registered under any tiny Pacific island.
Typically, examples are supposed to reinforce the point you're making, but hey, do it your way...
Which is why they refused to do business in China. Oh wait...
They have way too much money and have failed to innovate beyond being a search engine? Just guessing...
I hope Stephen Fry's sysadmin checked his logs and took the Apache 503 errors to heart.
Yes, it's called Google's profit. Why that should be of interest to anyone else, including their advertising customers, is not obvious.
Go outdoors. Now.

On the other hand, it's not like most Slashdot readers can reference Heinlein or Niven, either.
Son, it was annoying and nasty back in the Apple ][ days.
What's the advantage of Free Pascal? Just curious, not being sarcastic...
Alas.

In that case, I'd definitely skip Grimm's fairy tales.
