    This is why you leave your computer on all the time, you email program open all the time and let it pull every 1/2 hour, or 10 minutes, for incoming mail. What is the probability that a backup will be done in an 1/2 hour window? not much.

    Personaly, I use a linux server at home with cron/fetchmail setup to pull all my email accounts to my home account and zooooooouuuuu!!

    GMail? I have one and I dont mind keeping them because they are on a public server and are not "sensitive" enougth.

  9. Next stop: The PS2 Owners. on PS2 Controller Suit Goes Badly For Sony · · Score: 1

    Yes you read it correctly, like in software, when the judge will rule that SONY violates this patent (He already did, but it will be appealed), Immersion will go after the owners of PS2 dual shock controllers.

    Ho wait.. In the hardware world, it is the producer that are liable for patent infrigments, not the consumer/client/user/owner.

    Why is it the case for the sofware patents? If this is not, a major FUD claim of the Dark Side(TM) against OSS just went poof! Or I need to be educated on software patent liabilities.

    "Zealots" again. Why cant you just use another word to qualify Stallman actions? Like CONSISTENT with his beliefs, STEADY in his view of Free Software.

    RMS did not change his views on developping software to empower users. The world of Open Source Software did and is in great danger of falling in the same trap again. This time DRM/DMCA and patents are the trap set by the corporations to gain control of OtherPeople IP (TM).

    RMS does not force you to abide by his rules. You can use whatever license you want and he wont have a say about it. Give the same respect to him.

    RMS does not call the proprietary leaders as "zealots", just "Hard Working Capitalist Businessmen Who Like to Ride the Curtains Of Other People IP (TM)". Shit he isn't even calling them or you anything.

    Respect is the fondation for all civil discussion.

    Errrr. Dont be so....so you.

    I bought a Hitachi 42" plasma TV lately, like 6 months ago, and It has a compoment/DVI input, no HDCP. Plus, it is HDTV ready. How do I know? I have Direct-TV HD and the difference is mind boggling. Even somebody that does not know anything about TV resolution sees the difference.

    When the new DVD format will hit the streets, I am utterly fucked, sorta. Because all the HD will be encoded to respect HDCP and my television will not qualify. Or I could stick to current DVD, which of course look great at 480p resolution. Why can they get 7xxp? Even that looks better than the "normal" resolution.

    And I can tell you that the guy that sold me this setup had not heard about HDCP coming out. And no, he is not some lame salesman. He just did not botter reading the full specs. And I can tell you that there is alot, i mean alot, of people like me, who will shun HDCP HD/Bueray-DVD.

    Ok I can see your point. But the free jab was not nice. I mean Free Sotfware as RMS definition of it. I should have capitalized the 'f'. My bad.

    But never the less I had the impression, from this article, that he was implying that the groth of open source was due to price of software going into zeroland, because of the ubdicuity of the internet and the demand of the users.

    But in fact it seems to me that the "users", corporate or other, my have caugh the train already rolling. And the driver was the open source community, claming to anyone that would hear them, all the benefits and the control they, the user, will take back from big uncomprosing companies.

    But as I said, I must have missread him.

    Thanks for the reply.

  24. What is wrong with this? on There is No Open Source Community · · Score: 1

    Furthermore, there has been little recognition in open source circles of the role the internet has played in driving down software production costs and thus software prices. It is this drastic reduction in price that is necessary for an open source-friendly environment to emerge.


    The main leaders of the open source movement, I think, are akwnoleding at any chance they get, the fact that the Internet as propel and made the development open source sofware more easy.

    Ask anyone of them.

    There is no open source community.

    Looking at open source from an economic perspective, it becomes clear that Linux or its equivalent was bound to happen eventually, regardless of whether Linus decided to release a kernel in 1991. The same applies for Apache and any other project. Both of these are the natural result of massive price drops in their respective markets. The view that there is a core group of altruistic companies and true believers driving open source forward is simply false. The view that open source participants are idealistic Davids fighting against software Goliaths is also false. In fact, surveys of open source participants tend to bear this out.


    He just describe a community, with the developper, the testers, users and there is no open source community? Did I missed someting?
    If I recall correctly, when Linus released its first Kernel, the PC UNIX marquet was Minix (free but feature less) and SCO (costly but feature rich). I think that was the main cause of Linus developping a new kernel, the price to access the tools he wanted. Same with Apache.

    I think that it was the open source movement, albeit at the time it was called free sofware, that droove the price of different sofware down and enabled the thriving of the internet, not the other way around.

    Am I wrong?
