Larry's Stated Intent on what the license means is far more powerful than what the license actually says. To take it to the extreme, if the license says "I will kill everyone who uses my product" but then he publicly says that what he meant was he would buy them a beer, then in court he would be held against what he meant, not what the license literally says (So he uh wouldn't be legally allowed to kill his users anymore...;) This is why we have jury etc rather than just coldly comparing law against what happened.
Actually it is even if your company works on anything related. The main example being IBM - any IBM employee isn't allowed to use bitkeeper on the kernel project. Larry said he was fixing this, but it has been over 6 months now.
Completely offtopic, but did you know that Pascal actually uses the ";" between lines, rather than after each line. The difference is subtle but means that you don't need a ; on the last line, for example.
This comes from maths where the ; is a shorthand for functional composition. Instead of writing 'f o g' you can write g;f
I've read the various replies to your comment, and I want to say that often projects are 20-30 years long, and things like this are done simply to get a feel for technology, and get the researchers some experiance.
I have no idea how this could work, but imagine uh nanobots or something that ran around your body using your fat for energy, and doing something useful, like uh strectching the muscles and whatever else nanobots do.
Actually I was thinking of public school systems when I wrote it:) There is less memorizing and reciting these days then 50 years ago (In the uk anyway). Besides, whoever said schools are there to increase intelligence (if such a thing is indeed even possible).
The idea is that you can cache two bits of memory with the same lower bits. We both agree with that (I think - your wording is slightly wrong at the start).
But if you do this, then it means you split the cache into 2, and only use the second half if the first half location is used up. _If_ you don't ever have 2 hits with the same lsb, then you won't use the second half.
HMM. Thinking about it, we are both right - you more than me. Because you have split it into 2, you are halving your range (you reduce the number of bits that you include in you lsb by one) and so what would originally go in the second half, now tries to go in the first half, then overflows to the second half. Ah..
So yes, there is no drawback. (other than what you mentioned)

"so will I buy the breast enlargement cream or Windows XP?"
I guess that depends on whether you're female or uh..uh...
Try to actually pronounce. I keep getting tounge-tied.

What kind of job would I have to get to afford a $50000 license?

"Mac OS X version 10.1 also includes Printer Description files for more than 200 PostScript printers"
/dev/lp0" and it works fine.
Getting more offtopic - but the above statement was on that URL - What would the difference be between PS printers?
I've many a time just printed to a random PS printer driver to file onto a floppy, taken it in uni, and "cat file.ps >
So uh, its not that impressive that Mac supports 200 PS printers.

Hmm. I like the idea.
I have no idea how this could work, but imagine uh nanobots or something that ran around your body using your fat for energy, and doing something useful, like uh strectching the muscles and whatever else nanobots do.
I'm currently working on this, and have been for a year now. I have a load of docs that are temporarily down.
:)
It has turned out to be a lot more than I imagined, heh
I am aiming to just break backward compatibility. It's too hard to redo everything OO style, and then have legacy support
People at work.
Nah, you can do it with one disk.
If you have dos installed, you can do it with zero, by copying the files to the harddrive and booting from there.
More to the point, what if you accidently delete the undelete program?
Take some wax candles, break up the hydrocarbons into small pieces until you get rocket fuel...
I know a lot of people (including me) that say lol :)

Although it's marked funny, I agree.
I set up one so I could do kernel hacking without root access.
Talking about the ascii yoda art, I found that last sentance funny enough that I made it my sig... :)
Some of us _like_ to learn.
Plus in a lot of areas you need the background knowledge. Try doing robotics without a degree.
Not everyone wants to get stuck with a sysadmin job.

Yeah I grew up on borland compliers.
Debian isn't exactly the first.
kde have had a educational thread for ages, with libraries etc.
That would actually be kinda useful...
Thinking about the 'backdoor trojan' thing.. I suppose if your software had a backdoor that you thought was doing one thing, but did another..
I suppose the microsoft network updates are a sort of backdoor, so if they turned out to send info they shouldn't.....
I'm stretching on a limb here

'convert' does it
What does information have to do with intelligence?
