Because, as any Robocop fan knows, ED-209 did not heard the sound of the gun hiting the carpet. I heard it, the cinema crowd hearit. But the multimilion dollors machine, with advance audio,video and robotic technology did not HEARD the F$$$ING *THUMB* it made.
Who wrote the sound detection software? Microsoft?
could be to surround the space aircraft with that, in case of, you know, a breach!??
O my god I have to patent this idea, before they realise the enourmous implications of their discovery.

I am not a fluent english speaker nor writer but let take a look at this:
--
The clause in Amendment No.2 in the Asset Purchase Agreement states:
A. With respect to Schedule 1.1(b) of the Agreement, titled "Excluded Assets", Section V, Subsection A shall be revised to read:
All copyrights and trademarks, except for the copyrights and trademarks owned by Novell as of the date of the Agreement required for SCO to exercise it rights with respect to the acquisition of UNIX and UnixWare technologies. However, in no event shall Novell be liable to SCO for any claim brought by any third party pertaining to said copyrights and trademarks.

Would it state that SCO as the right to inforce the sublicing of UnixWare and UNIX only? Or did I miss something.
One of the many possible problems the spacecraft is always alert for is that it has been too long since it heard from Earth. It keeps track of what we call the command loss timer as a measure of how long it has been since it has communicated with controllers. If the time is too long, the craft has many steps it goes through in case, for example, it is pointed in a direction that makes contact impossible, or there is a problem with an antenna, the radio receiver, or other systems that might have prevented communication. Normally we reset the timer to about 2 weeks, but now it is set for more than 50 years.

I bet that in 50 years, the SETI program will track a faint signal coming from the DS1 probe and will ask NASA "do you have a probe out there?" they will respond "not one that we remember of" and they SETI team will declare this as a proof of life outside our solar system:)
-- You can write perfect programs in some "more modern" languages ("safe" languages like Java) that will crash, because the environment is so complex that many environments are buggy. This is unacceptable. Not only that, most of these languages aren't any better than C as far as memory management (That's why all the Java programs I see crash with "NullPointerException"). --
is generated, not by the garbage collector, but by the JVM when it trys to access a method from a null object, a pointer vers a non initialzed object. This has nothing to do with the memory management. If you had said: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError, I would have aplaud you. But, You missed the mark by a mile.
But those poeple that sent the letter does not have the revenu stream of Lucas Arts in mind. They have theirs.
So they will sue them to have a fat pay check from Lucas at the end of the day and they will tell Lucas that this VM was another case of Copyright infrigment(french spell checkers don't correct this word properly:) ).
Like in an episode of ST TNG, where Scotty saves himself and almost another crew member (I guess he was a blue shirt, or red shirt?) by keeping their teleporting signals in the teleporter memory bank.
That was a neet application of the deep freeze conservation method know as cryoginitization:)
Ok then, If we jump back in time and evaluate the impact of Edison's discovery last century, we might say that 10 years after this discovery and the beginning of the exploitation of the electricity, the electricity as not impacted the lives of the entire planet.
20 years how many famillies used electricity for their daily live? not much.
30 years after, the same inquiry will be slighty different.
etc..
The impact of the web is real for the poeple that have access to the technology like us. But for the rest of the worl, that don't have the ressources to wire themselves, it will be a while before they can begin to see changes happening.
It's up to us and the companies to dumb down the INTERNET and the ressources needed to be wired. The same was for true for the Telegraphe, the telephone and all the communication inventions that bring the people of the Hearth closer.
But hey, that's my take on this.
Let the time decide if the INTERNET has changed our lives.(I bet it has, otherwise I won't be here responding to you by an elaborate networks of harware, software and elecctricity combined)
Remember, deep effects can only be felt after centuries of implementations, not decades.
>Too bad. You could have just set up Exchange Server to block the offending attachements before your users got them. Now that users are using web-mail, you can't screen their mail for malicious content.
Ho, I didn't know that Exchange filter webmail that it does not control like yahoo and hotmail:-). I have just learn something.. NOT!!!!
I'm not a physician but why not introduce a counter rotating system, which in that case will negate the effect of the positive spin? like another rotating disk in the other direction?
I agree with you. But, it's the job of the other lawyer to replace those e-mail in the context of the moment. Or the Company lawyer is a jerk and can't do his job.
I think this judge doesn't trust the ability of different lawyers on this matter or perhaps he thinks that the emails in the DOJ vs MS case was over used and if the Justice departement had his way, there had been no case at all.
May I respond to you post. It's been a while that I'm reading your posting in Linuxtoday and generally speaking, you seems (and I know you have) a good cense of what is right or wrong. Except when the matter concern the point of view, the dogmas of Richard M. Stallman. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe not. It doesn't matter.
What's matter is the fact that in the history of the GPL, RMS has allowed KDE to link to a "semi-proprietary" library. Now Qt 2.0 will be GPLed. Fine. Butt what can we do about Qt 1.x, has a poster said earlier? nothing. Qt 2.0 and Qt 1.x are not the same toolkit. There are different. And in the lawyers' game (you know, those guys that wear suits and can sued you on behalf of an entity, be it human or corporation) that's prior case of violation. Plain and simple.
If the GPL is tested in court, one question will arise: "Why a GPLed software has been permitted to transgress the licence? Why has nobody taken action to correct this issue?".
If we let this as it is today, the answer will be: "Because we had different view of the scope of the GPL and we have sticked with what we wan't to do, not bothering with what it was possible to do." Errrr. That's not good. The GPL has been breached and anybody can do what they want with any peace of software under that licence. I mean Anybody.
If we take action and correct the past issues, then there will be no legal back door open and we can code in peace, knowing that some people have the heart to say: "I was wrong. Can we do something to fix this? Good. Let's do it then.".
In the legal system, pride and ego sometimes (if not all the time) lead to defeat.
Maybe I'm been to simplistic here and I know you will correct me. But this is not a child's game anymore. This is a lawyer's game. And lawyers do not have pride. They have rules and regulations, licences, copyrights, something I'm merely capable of understanding.
See it's simple: "I was wrong. Can we do something to fix this? Good. Let's do it then."
Did you in your experience never admit a judgement error? If you did, why can't the KDE team do the same ? Pride, plain and simple.

Who wrote the sound detection software? Microsoft?
So You have check the tools they are using to develop their respective OS?
Are they not GNU Tools?
The same apply to them.
So for a "merely" small contribution, $466K, You can buy a Senator..
BG, What are you wainting for? Buy all damned House Of congress, will you?
Sorry,

Not everybody is fluent in english like you. And Who the Hell is Anonymous Coward?

Please Help
is slow today :)
I can picture the scene:
Taco:Hey, Hemos, I saw that great article on Tom's and I posted it before you he he he.
Hemos:Nope.. I did it before you.
Taco: did not!
Hemos: did too!

Taco: Dammmmnnnnn.. I need more coffe this morning. My internet connection is slow this morning.
bound to reimplement it.
I don't know who said it. But it true IMHO.
Happy New Years to you all!!

How do you extract the compilation settings of your [favorite_distro_name_here]?
I am trying to compile the new kernel with Suse 7.1 and I can't seem how they have set the modules.
Or I am stupid.
Just to say you are right. This JAVA Exception:

You are absolutly right: It's the programmer.
Don't you?

It seems that anyone whom has write proprams with boundary checks will feel a slight pain reading this little gem. I know I have

You are right.

Way less painfull.
Nice one.
:)
But seriously, don't laugh.
This is how Linux gain mind and now market share. By providing a new technolic challenge to an elite group of hackers.
You prediction migh become true in a non so distant future.
When will we hable to by smallform factor PC from Walmart. I want one now
Already?

Don't You Have Any Compasion For ISP? FTP servers??
Those Pesky OSS developers just do not know how to preserve precious bandwith for us, pr0n adicts
Good Job.
The 1.0 release is as of tody my official browser at work. (I use nightly build for linux at home since 1998).
P.S.: Happely posted from Mozilla 1.0 (Admitly boronex browser, because your server is to loaded. I will get the binaries later today).
Hey,
Tomcat, JBoss and MySQL run on MS Windows Also. So they might been silently using OS Tools with a propriatory platform.
:-)
I don't know about you but, a laser produce heat.
:-)
And heat is lethal for shiny metal thingies.
So there
I like you title. Can I use it as my .sign??
Thank you.

Indeed. Think before posting.
Take care.

I'm not a physician but why not introduce a counter rotating system, which in that case will negate the effect of the positive spin? like another rotating disk in the other direction?
Any suggestion people?

I Have a Mastercard. Does that mean that i CAN'T Donate few bucks to Linus??
