Years ago, Microsoft released an unbundled version of Windows like this in the past when the European Commission had an issue with Media Player, called Windows N. It was a sales flop.
Windows NT never used the BSD networking stack. Microsoft originally purchased a stack from Spider Systems, and their userland tools were ports of the BSD versions, so the regents copyright notices were included. In NT 3.5, Microsoft replaced the Spider stack with their own, but the userland tools weren't updated because there was no need.
It now harms the public, culture and future-history in its present form and should be balanced with the interests of the individual. We need a "Pirate Party" in the U.S... or at least a body like the EFF or ACLU or something like that. (NYCL? Is that your calling?)
Give an example of the "harm" it has done. Meanwhile, you're the one advocating not paying artists for their work, which is more harmful than Disney having the rights to friggin' Mickey Mouse. That you actually think something called the PIRATE party deserves a place in government is scary.
Face it. Copyright owners deserve to be able to make money off their work. If Disney works to get copyright extended, it's simply because the technology of entertainment has changed so that people still make money off of works from decades prior, and the laws have changed to accommodate it.
All you want is to get shit for free, like other Slashdotters. Nothing more, nothing less. Any arguments about freedom or economic harm are mental justifications you use in your mind so that you don't feel like a bad guy when you pirate somebody's hard work.
Haha. It has nothing to do with "economic freedom" or "democracy." It's just some goofy morons who want to rip artists off by not paying them for their work. They got a seat for the same reason people in my middle school voted the chubby girl for prom queen. It was a joke movement.
Since Slashdot has become a pro-piracy haven for leeches, freeloaders, and other dredges of society who refuse to pay people for their hard work, I'm sure the pirate party will definitely be representing your pro-piracy concerns.
Oh, Slashdotters...you've gotten so ridiculous in the last decade.
The Pirate Party is nothing more than a bunch of college kids who want shit for free. It's not some cultural revolution or educational organization. It's the PIRATE Party. They don't believe anyone should be compensated for their work.
Meanwhile, the GPL relies on copyright, but Slashdotters never realize that. They only cheer the Pirate Party because Slashdot posted enough RIAA and MPAA articles to convince them that blaming scapegoats for protecting their copyrights is valid justification for ripping artists off. "The RIAA made me do it!" Meanwhile, the artists you're not paying never come up in the discussion, because if they did, your position would fall apart because it would reveal you as the bad guy again and not the "MAFIAA" (ugh).
Slashdot has even gone after other websites in the past for copyright infringement. Face it, this is just more goofy, idealistic college kiddie crap from pirates who don't want to lose their free ride. It has nothing to do with rights, because violating artist rights is what the PIRATE Party wants.
This is such a joke. What civil liberties and personal rights are you voting to protect? Your right to pirate copyrighted materials on PirateBay? It's called the PIRATE party.
Slashdot has become a sickening pro-piracy website. Have you ever wondered why the big names like John Carmack no longer post here? Why doesn't he deserve to get paid for his work?
With the Web being so central to most people's workflow these days this is akin to the move to a multitasking OS.
Awesome, we've finally achieved what we had decades ago in native apps. Next you'll tell me we'll get native ways to play video (HTML5) and the ability to update views on the fly (AJAX). My brain can't handle such futuristic features!
This is so corny. Environmentalists are some of the goofiest people alive.
I like how Al Gore started up a carbon credits company just before he released a movie that encouraged people to purchase carbon credits. And when people pointed out how much power his mansion used, he paid himself by purchasing carbon credits from his own company.
I can only speak from experience with Mac development, but Apple's Objective-C garbage collector runs on a second thread so that there is no delay, and in theory, a garbage collected application has a small speed advantage because there are no retain and release messages in accessor methods. Arguably, you shouldn't be relying on a destructor to do huge cleanup operations regardless of what memory management scheme you're using.
Garbage collection is one of those things that, someday, the majority of programmers will use--if they don't already--and people will wonder how we managed without it. It's just obvious at this point.
The original stories accused them of handing over user data, or personally identifiable data, to the RIAA, so that is what they are denying handing over. Nothing about it "implies that they have handed over some info." You're the one making that assumption for your own reasons. Only on Slashdot could an emphatic denial of something that nobody had any proof of in the first place somehow "imply" that it's in some way true. Sigh.
Other than Last.fm strongly denying that they shared anything, of course. But let's ignore that part and continue spreading the rumor through anonymous coward posts on Slashdot.
Not to mention that the RIAA's wording "We've made no such request for this information." means precisely squat as to whether they have that information.
The original story said that they requested the information, so it is relevant.
Sure....they didn't ask for it. But that doesn't mean they didn't receive it.
By that logic, there isn't any proof that the Obama administration isn't the puppet of an evil race of reptilian aliens living deep beneath the earth's crust.
Even worse, others would make rip-off clones, and he would try to shut them down legally, yet instead of receiving support for his actions, he would get attacked by online idiots such as the ones at Digg. The guy's a perfect example of a developer who had a good idea and got fucked over by piracy.
How does this make them "greedy?" If you don't want a sequel, don't buy it. This follows Valve's intent to release smaller content on a more frequent basis, such as with Episode 1, Portal, and so on. It's weird to read comments from people who are surprised at this announcement when Valve has been doing episodic content for the past five years.
If you answer someone's question about a feature being ready for production systems with the word "probably" instead of "absolutely," then it's not ready for production systems.

Uh, why should he make his game "more freely available?" Why would you hate him for protecting his property so that he can make a living?

Huh? I have the Left 4 Dead Hammer editor open right now.
It may as well be Microsoft. Right now, Google has no real competition.
Where did say anyone was?
Is anyone else surprised he's in San Francisco, the all-welcoming liberal home for the homeless?
