Nobody except maybe McVoy should have gotten upset over this anyway. It seems to me that at least the free version of Bitkeeper was subject to the CalvinBall License. The problem is that Tridge doesn't seem to play CalvinBall. Something like this happening was inevitable.
X11-on-a-floppy has been around just about forever. I got started with Linux on a 486 with 32M back in 97 or so. This thing was truly incapable of booting to X+minimalistic WM+Picture app?
Let's drag Freddy, Chucky, and Jason into the mix. We can call it Star Trek: Red Shirt Massacre. Somehow, the supernatural psychopaths will always just miss killing the bridge crew. That suck?
Okay, how about a new series where their flexable take on physics always saves the day. It'll be called Star Trek: Ex Deus Machina. I know, I know, but at they'd be up front about it this way.
Either idea is guaranteed a few seasons if they don't forget to put in a healthy dose of T&A.
Then, after the asteroid hits, any surviving Republicans will blame the Democrats and any surviving Democrats will blame the Republicans and surviving followers of both parties will eat it up.
He's saying Intel CPU + Intel chipset == stability. He isn't saying the AMD parts are junk; he's saying that AMD is reliant on third parties to make their CPUs look good.
Promissory estoppel at the very least would kick in. The developer would also have to 'splainin' to do why he licensed under the GPL in the first place. Contracts are binding on both parties to an agreement. A license binds the the licensor as long as the licensee is in compliance. A compliant licensee who has become dependent on the software may even be able to sue the reneging licensor for damages.
I have an external gateway that polls my POP3 account every five minutes. The gateway runs its own POP server so that all I'm doing is running client side rules on pre-processed email. Everything feels fast and responsive but my mail is delayed by up to five minutes.
It was the problem you're having that prompted me to do that. Well, and I also don't like a ton of daemons running on my desktop machines.
As long as the files are sanely tagged, a multitude of scripts and utilities that will do this for you already exist. Writing your own isn't necessary.
This is just one example of how Red Fever has irreparably damaged this country. You can't talk about doing ANYTHING for ANY reason other than money before the spectre of the Red Demon gets trotted out. McCarthy should be proud of himself. 50 years later and we have a software development method that is modeled more on the scientific method than any political ideology and some people can't resist red-baiting.
I'll get flamed no doubt and the industry certainly won't like it but here it is:
1. Lossless or high bitrate
2. Something closer to 25 cents a track rather than a dollar per track.
3. Extensive catalog that includes among other things old back releases.
4. Easy way to find and purchase correctly tagged files that meet the previous three criteria. This should be possible on a fully ala carte basis. No bullshit bundling.
5. No or easily losslessly fixable DRM. No burning out to a CD and reripping doesn't get anywhere near it. That is a pain in the ass even if you know how trick the process into making ISOs and ripping those. I understand Hymn is subject to breakage at any time.
The P2P networks are only consistently good at #2 and #5. Because of the time it takes to find and download correct reasonable quality files, I'd cheerfully pay a nominal cost for easy to download correctly tagged music without a load of bullshit grafted onto it. As it is, neither P2P networks or the industry offer anything really worth bothering with. iTunes gets sorta close but it really isn't it either. Given the hassles involved, I'd still rather buy CDs and rip those but that happens rarely.
Let's at least wait and see what Moglen and RMS have to say directly about this. This wouldn't be the first time Slashdot's readership has played the whisper-around-a-circle game.
The right of first sale means that you can sell your copy of Star Wars to someone else. But you can't keep a copy for yourself. If you made backups then then they have to be pitched. There is a well known flake on the Yahoo! boards who thinks this is a blank check to violate the GPL. He seems to google for mentions of his name so he has also become known as He Who Mustn't Be Named. Read the Yahoo! SCOXE board for awhile. You'll find out who I mean.
You cannot prevent one of those 5 customers from giving the software to someone else. I believe the GPL also says that "3rd party" requests for the source must be honored for no more than what media costs. So if one your 5 customers gives the software to Jim Bob Jones then Jim Bob Jones can request source from you.

If adblocking isn't an option and a site plasters my desktop with 20 or so pop-ups, pop-unders, and various other deviltries that seriously demented webmasters burned the midnight oil thinking up then I'll be too annoyed to visit anyway. I don't bother blocking Google's text ads because they don't annoy the living crap out of me. That is the most advertisement that I'm going tolerate adblocking or no. Personally, I like the idea of sites that use obnoxious advertising strategies dying horrible deaths. But then, my favorite sites don't rely on obnoxious advertising methods for survival....could have something to do with why they're my favorites.

Well yes, but exactly who gets to eat who?

Since it's supposed to be in the future and all, each weapon should have had it's own lightweight bright-as-hell low-power light built into it.
/etc/mozpluggerrc
Use /dev/random to generate the scheduling numbers and then we can really start getting that Windows feeling.
However I haven't found a kpdf firefox plugin so I'm using acrobat reader.
Try mozplugger. It will embed most any X proggy into a Firefox or Mozilla window.
They were going to. Intuit and some others threw a lobbying shitfit about their multimillion dollar industry.

It's one of Bender's drinking buddies. "Whoa! Look at the NAND gates on her! She's showing her circuits and everything!"
What licenses did Tridge accept?
What licences did OSDL accept that somehow legally automagically bind Tridge 24/7/265?
What licenses did some kernel devs accept and what bearing does this have on OSDL and Tridge?
Clear answers to these would tell me what the "core issues" are.

I can imagine a buggy whip cart maker making much the same laments as Henry Ford's assembly lines cranked into high gear.

Just paint it pink and activate a cheap and simple Somebody Else's Problem field.
