"If NASA would sell these as toys (modified for earth gravity, with lots of LEDs), maybe their funding problems would disappear."
Yep... maybe. Or maybe Micro$oft will start making the same "toys", monopolize the market, sell a unit to every household; so some day, they can charge a anual "license" to vacuum your apartment, wash your dishes and everything else...
hell!! maybe they will even read/. for you!!
Good point. But going from "forums are a little mean to the people of HP" to: "Linux will never be mainstream" is an entirely different manner.
Linux WILL BE MAINSTREAM just because it is a kick ass operating system. Not because linux geeks behave talk nice to the people of Hp...
Wouldnt the Digital Millennium Copyright Act refer for profit making from somebody elses intellectual property?? Did Dmitry Sklyarov actually make a profit from the hack?? Didnt Dmitry Sklyarov actually benefit Adobe showing how really poor their encryption was in the first place????
From the article: "It seems that in Germany law firms can write cease and desist letters to businesses they think are infringing another company's trademarks, without being employed by the latter, and demand payment from the company on the receiving end of the letter. Apparently some law firms make a good living at this."
Not paying up is the only way to stop this business. The university shouldnt pay a dime. Next thing we know even/. is going to be asked for me from some law firm just for sending a letter...
When Venter and Collins announced some months ago their "success" at sequencing the human genome and that according to their conclusions humans did not have much more genes that worms this did seem kind of odd to me.
If this new paper published by "Genome Biology" is right it could ridicule all past celebration... i mean... if it turns out that Venter only mapped 30 000 genes but there were actually 60 000 genes in humans, wouldnt that mean that were not even half way to a complete gene map for humans??
I dont se how hardisk manufactures can agree on this. Its actually very simple... whoever solves the problem will sell more disks and then get copied by everyone else. And someone WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM... why??? its called competition!
Absolutely right. But you see the thing is that the RIAA is trying to set some kind of "example" with Napster. And the court is acting as if it worked for the RIAA.
I do wonder if these people actually think that other peer to peer services will be intimidated by this move...
Well, maybe ill stop coding that teleportation module for instant traveling throught the net... might get sued by the airliners!!!
Anyhow, the only real competition that Microsoft will ever have is Open Source. And Microsoft will be Open Sources competition...
anything wrong about that???
I mean... do we have to worry so much about microsofts success??? Doesnt Microsofts benefit somehow the open source community??
Its not like their pointing a gun at us... or are they??
Its about time... We are probaly going to see this kind of strike from this point on everywhere. Jobless high techs will just do what they know best, and whats happing in the Castellana is just of an exmaple og that.
Wonder if Che guevara would have been a/. reader?

So the next time somebody says microsoft is taking over the world...
