Why does CNet state that Google won't speak to them on the bottom of an article about Google hiring chefs? Kinda sneaky if you ask me. I would like to know Google's side of the story.
Licenses are important but different developers see licenses differently. I think it is rational to offer a license of choice by the author of the software. I wouldn't want a standards committee telling me what my license should be and I wouldn't want a RIAA/MPAA-type organization either. While I'm at it, why make a license compatible with another? If I want my license to be compatible with GPL, why not just use the GPL? The BSD vs. GPL is a matter of what freedoms one wants in their license. As long as there is a license to protect the author, it should be fine.
Now that the judgement has been made, he can sell it. If one doesn't break the cybersquatting rules, such judgements open the door to offer the domain for dollars. That's the way I see it anyway.
Licensing is what keeps those behemoths from getting their hands on these applications. It is interesting that the writer didn't tell us what option he'd prefer - a closed license or no license at all. MySQL is offering a choice of a commercial license or open-source. Money is important for the survival of the company that markets open-source products but open-source licenses don't restrict companies from charging for their product and MySQL is a good example for how to deal with the issue.
I like the RTF tools so far. One problem is that if the background is for a small text and you change the size of the text, the background color size doesn't change automatically.
Watching the size counter increment instead of going directly to 2000 Mb reminds me that today is April Fools Day. I'll look at it tomorrow.
I still own a Hewlett-Packard HP-110. I used one back in the late eighties to perform calculations for phase-matching cables based on electrical length. The built in Lotus 1-2-3 and a lead-acid battery were plusses at the time (I still like a lead-acid battery over the junk they make batteries out of now.)
I can't see Vonage losing. There is no 100 percent guarantee that 911 will work, even with POTS lines. Intruders can cut POTS lines. Texas should sue but the outcome should shed light on 911's reliability and at least push VoIP providers to move forward with real E911 services. see Vonage losing.

When holes like this one open, it's only a matter of time before they close.
Rant: This is no big surprise. Our favorite music is owned and operated by an industry who cares more about money than music. The artists who write and play this music have sold their souls to this industry. Until the artists wise up and use the Internet to distribute their music on their own terms, this cat and mouse game will continue. It's not going away soon since many artists do it for the money anyway.
The Telegraph did not give details of the study so I suspect that many factors were left out. If I had a two year old who loved to play on my computer, that kid would be reading, writing, and solving problems without even realizing it. Schools make everything out to be chores and if getting on a computer is a chore, kids won't want to do it. I think that computers are just an excuse for other issues.
When Firefox, Opera, and other browsers got burned by the support for IDN and phishing exploits associated with it, IE looked good for not having IDN support. It will be interesting to me to see if Microsoft noticed it and will offer users a choice to turn off IDN support.
I don't think the code itself is patentable. What the code does is probably what the company is interested in. It is very likely that they don't want the code GPL'd and will probably have you or someone else rewrite it.

Not as bad as misspelling 'ever'.

'Offtopic' sure works.
I've got McAfee scanning me right now...
I want to use WhenU to generate revenues.
1. Most people are blocking pop-ups.
2. Law says a competitor's ad can pop up over my product.
It will then be time to find another way to generate revenues.
Buh-bye WhenU!
I'm sure if there is a gnu version of monad at will be called gonad.
Cuba already has approximately 1500 computers running on Linux, and is working towards replacing Windows on all state owned computers.
Aren't all of the computers there owned by the state?

I agree. The days of free online subscriptions are most likely over after this is implemented.

I bet some people are kicking themselves for not holding on to domain names they
could have sold for $$$$$$.
Mapquest used to offer satellite photos.

I got a laugh over this one. I hope the future ones are funny.

Here's a brief description.
I have Vonage and it works for me. Zero percent? Not likely.
Man, I even previewed this. It's too early in the morning. :0
