No. They are required by the license to distribute the source code themselves, whether or not they modified it. They can't satisfy the license obligation by pointing to a public web site, because the public web site is not itself obligated to stay running for the purpose of satsifying Symantec's license obligation.
It's just not important that Caldera used the words once . It didn't have legs, when we started the Open Source campaign that very definitely had legs and still does today. There were undoubtably Gettysburgh Addresses before Lincoln too. Who remembers them?
This is very pedantic of you and ends up creating a social negative as I've explained. The audience thinks you're a troll - because you are being one. Rethink what you are spending time upon.
You have a right to an opinion, but since your campaign currently will do damage to Free Software and Open Source you need to think about how you are conducting yourself. If we get royalty-bearing patents in standards important to Free Software and Open Source, you will have contributed to that. Don't go thinking that what you are doing is good for Free Software, it's harmful to us all.
I live in Berkeley. It's a little different. We are real liberals and the lady down the street goes to your coral reef and treats the children's medical problems. I go places for UNESCO, etc. A lot of us make a good living, but that's to support what we do rather than the end goal.
Martin. There's a certain company out in San Diego that we all know, parts maker and patent troll. They are working to put royalty-bearing patents in modern standards. They are using the exact same language as you at the standards committees, telling us that "there isn't one Open Source" and then going on to tell us that Open Source should only be about copyright, and that there should be patent royalties in standards that - regardless of what they say about its being only about copyright - Open Source would then not be allowed to implement. Unfortunately, they are gaining traction in important standards committees, especially the national ones.
I will give you the benefit of the doubt that you are not working for these guys, you sound exactly like you are. What you are doing hurts both Free Software and Open Source (they are really the same). As I fly around the world to educate standards committees about the Open Source Definition and what they really need to do to accommodate Open Source in standards, they're going to be pointing at your words and using them against me.
This is really important. For medical reasons, this is probably the last decade of my life, and I am spending a good part of it to work on this issue. You're getting in the way. Cut it out. I promise that nobody can trademark the words "Open Source" today, and you are feeling threatened for nothing.
Most of the companies I consult for offer multi-thousand-dollar referral fees if I get someone to work there. They're more interested in quality people than the tax rate.
So, do you think all of the people you don't like because they're SJWs, and who you think didn't graduate their college on merit (which is BS) would really want to live next door to you? They're out here because people they live next door to are more like them. Lots of them are established with their companies, and could telecommute from where you live - if they wanted to.
Our taxes aren't that much higher. Nor is the price of food or fuel, I've spent lots of time in Middle America and have done more than enough shopping there.
Housing is expensive because everyone wants to live here, and because the U.S. government provides essentially unlimited credit for housing so that anywhere it's in demand, the value will be kited beyond many people's lifetime incomes.
And yeah, it's really nice that I can take a nice walk on a path that tourists come from around the world to see, and which happens to be in front of my house, and it was warm and sunny here today, and I will drive for a few hours on Tuesday and ski good snow, and any performer I'm interested in is probably coming here several times a year.
The 22 inch diameter device is a steered patch antenna. Consider that it adds 20 dB to the link budget. Add that much power and gain to the downlink. It's partially antenna gain, because the footprint of the SpaceX satellite is much smaller than Iridium, and partially transmitter power.
The uplink bandwidth doesn't have to be as high, so you can get by with a lower uplink budget.
There's a lot yet to be revealed. If this system really requires a pizza-box-sized antenna, it's good for home use and some automotive use (that would fit fine on an RV, etc.) and a lot of uses that currently use a cellular modem. But consider that Elon might be attempting to do an end-run around all of the world's cellular telephony companies. If there's enough system gain to use a cell-phone-sized antenna, it's a real game changer.
If you believe Elon (and we know not to always believe him), this is going to pay for Mars. If it works with a handheld terminal, maybe it could.
Yes, I am not buying into the AI thing and the simulation thing either.
OK, he flies around more than I do, and I have a travel-specific prescription, but it's not Ambien and I am concerned by his tweet regarding wine and ambien. Maybe he is wealthy enough that someone is always making sure that nothing bad happens when he is on that stuff. But alcohol and Ambien together make it even more likely that you will drive while sleeping and do other bizarre and dangerous stuff. Ambien alone is sometimes enough to do that. I believe that is the cause of the 2009 Diane Schuler Teconic Parkway tragedy.
And it sounds like Elon's dad was a horror story. Most recently Elon's dad has had a child with his step-daughter. Growing up with that guy must have been no fun.
They've just caught on to their Reddit fan club. Note how long it takes them to start talking about KSP, and how popular that is with them. Probably half of them do live with mom, and she can't get time alone no matter how many sailors come by:-).
Yes, Tesla is worth more than Ford although Ford is profitable and shipped many more cars than Tesla. The problem with Ford is that nobody sees much possibility of their being as innovative as Tesla, making cars of the same quality, or in general taking an interest in the driver who buys their stuff and the health of the world around them.
Old companies get replaced by new ones after the old guys get ossified. That's just a fact of life. People see a lot of potential for Tesla doing that to Ford.
The biggest problem here is that nobody is regulating what Tesla can do to your car remotely from one day to the next, and the security is entirely up to them with no outside audit required. This can't really be allowed to continue as most automobiles get the remote update capability.
And yes, buying and keeping up a pre-1973 vehicle (emission control computers came in about then) doesn't look like so bad an idea, even given the safety advancements made since '73.
So, it's not really that he can do wrong. It's that he owns his mistakes in front of everybody else, and still dares to innovate, and wins reasonably often although sometimes it's after great effort (as in the film above).
He is also about the only big company CEO who will dare to post silly stuff. Like this. And the guy was five when Monty Python and the Holy Grail came out. So, it seems to me that he's going out of his way to convince people that he is a human rather than someone faultless.
There are a lot of businesses that would like to see Tesla fail. There is an entire country's worth of short-sellers who need to get Tesla down below their expected price. There are all of the auto manufacturers who failed to make good electric cars for us even when they certainly knew how. There are the oil companies and everyone who services them. There is every existing auto dealer. There are companies that make parts that aren't in Teslas. The list goes on.
So, you will now see the same crazyness as the claims that the Falcom 9 made a huge hole in the atmospehere! Run and scream! What actually happened was that ionization of plasma in the ionosphere diminished for two hours due to a shock wave, and thus GPS signals might have been about a foot off in some areas near the launch, and there might have been interesting (though yet undetected) changes in HF radio propogation that hams might now notice if they look hard.
So, now we have hundreds of thousands of Teslas on the road with rusty bolts that happen to have not hurt anyone. Hide under the bed! Tesla to go bankrupt any moment!
They seem to make pretty good cars, and nobody took electric seriously until they came along. Nobody else can compete with them yet, although they all talk up a storm about what they're gonna do real soon now.
Do you remember when Prius was the propaganda target? It was only a few years ago.
You discovered this just now? I made that conclusion years ago while surfing to a porn site.
I must confess to being that boring sort of individual who doesn't really have anything to hide. At least yet, the way things are going it could get to the point that every civil person will need to hide.
Thus, I haven't been using any sort of concealment technology and haven't concerned myself with the fact that my IP address can be identified.
At the moment it's still legal for you to look at that porn site. Although if those people who take Cosmo off the shelves in stores have anything to say about it, it won't be. FYI, they have nothing to do with #metoo and are just a prudish religious organization. And their behavior concerns me.
It did reveal my local-network IPV4 address behind NAT, which is of little use to anyone. Butit also showed my public IPV6 address, which is no surprise because there's no NAT. That's the dangerous one. I am not using a VPN, but if it was using one to conceal my identity this would reveal a traceable IP address.
Yeah, I was the annoying guy who would take home the pretty girl while you and 20 other nerds were deeply involved in discussion of this, and of which female Star Trek character was cuter.
If most people who understand tech are like me, you never thought commercial social networks were a good idea, you joined them only reluctantly because lots of other people were on them and you needed them for business purposes, and you still have really mixed feelings about them.
However, the average person is eager to give away their privacy and can't be bothered to assure their own security.
So, aren't we kidding ourselves to think that anyone but us is going to delete Facebook?
Yes, we really did show that Sun copied everyone else's APIs in the lower court case. Hopefully this will come up when the supreme court hears this one.
This is in general bad for Free Software and anything else that depends on interoperability. It does mean it's easier to enforce licenses like the GPL, though. No more assuming that dynamic linking protects you. I've never believed it has, but a lot of people did. APIs pass across linking.
Back then there were even voluntary standards for comic books, . You couldn't show a punch connecting, blood, etc. So there were lots of big flashes with words like "pow" over them.
The Star Trek Transporter is a device invented to facilitate telling a story. There was 50 minutes. Obviously they could get in their space shuttle and land on the planet, get from the clear place they chose to the town, and then start the story. Or they could beam in.
There is also the fact that the way the communicators work is elided in the story. Obviously the channel can't be open until you say the name of the person you're calling, and even with some speeding up of the original audio it's going to take a second or two for them to catch up and respond. But nobody waits for the phone to ring on Star Trek.
And of course the data transfer method of the future is to give someone your tablet:-)
These are story devices. We can speculate about matter transmission being applied to conscious entities and copying people, but we should be clear that the reason these are used in Star Trek is not because they think that is how things will be in the future. It's because they made telling the story in the present easier to do.

One of those people is Matthew, who would definitely upload his copy to a public web site.
You really are convincing me that you're working for the patent trolls.

Well, the thing is that Elon is pretty clear about his own mistakes. For example he made a film compilation of SpaceX crashes.
So, it's not really that he can do wrong. It's that he owns his mistakes in front of everybody else, and still dares to innovate, and wins reasonably often although sometimes it's after great effort (as in the film above).
