Wow. Have you ever heard of Samba? It's kind of useful, most would agree..
At least according to the OpenSim docs, they have reversed the functionality of LL's sim servers into a completely new implementation. I'd also like to note that despite the flaws, and perhaps despite themselves, LL has managed to keep SL up and growing and is the only "virtual world" to actually succeed in this after, what, a dozen companies have tried?
Not that I'm holding up the LL Grid as a wonder of engineering or anything, but at least troll better, would you?
Pssst. The already have some of that, although it's not quite Snow Crash yet. In world, check out Samurai Island, or DarkLife for examples of what you are asking for. There are also a few big RP/combat Sims, just look around.
While stretching the definition of product to include "some code that some guy wrote for us" I'd say.. half of our customers code? Plus a bunch of actual products, commercial software even, that our customers have licensed and depend on for their businesses. Obviously I can't share much detail.
Not that PHP4 isn't lossy, just that you are being hopelessly naive. Or hopeful. Either way, cut that out:)
Oh, and I don't think the backdoors and shells are updated fully to take advantage of 5. Backwards compat is very important to their markets:D
This is specially useful if your project is a website, and you want to use your checkout as the html root.
This seems to be exactly what svn export [-rREV] url://path is for, since it pulls a static metadata-less (no.svn) copy of that path at that rev. I use it to (re)publish websites with cron, and have used it for bind9 zone files and all sort of other stuff where the.svn files (or their contents) was unwanted.
As to the rather contentious (and mostly fruitless) debate at hand, I'll have at look at what the Pragmatic Programmer have to say about git. They are releasing a new version of their canonical VCS book for it, and their SVN book is what really helped get me going with SVN. http://pragprog.com/titles/tsgit/pragmatic-version-control-using-git.

There, that's better.
Either privacy of commerce is a right or it isn't. If you really want to give that right up, I'm sure there are plenty of governments that would appreciate it and might even give you a sticker or a stamp to replace that pesky liberty you relieved yourself of.
>And I find it quite funny that some people think tax evasion is not a crime.
I'm not sure where you're from, but Tax Evasion is a founding principle of the USA (cf Boston Tea Party, Stamp Act). It not only isn't really a crime, but it generally respected as a virtue, at least until you get caught. Which is usually only when the
government gives up trying to catch at something that's really a crime (cf Al Capone).
I agree with your argument but none of your examples.:/
SVN's behaviour with respect to passwords is quite well documented and oft-discussed. If you have the magic bullet answer by all means please provide it in a patch.
(Hint: some OS have secure password storage systems, but none of the m use the same one. Second hint: passwords, particularly any that get sent over the wire in any form, are crap. Oh, just look here: http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#ssh-auth-cache )
OLPC (the org) is not working on or interested much in commercial distribution ("It's an education project, not a laptop project."). However lots of other people are, and they are working on it. I'm sure when someone gets something going it'll make the news (and/.)
Anyone can order OLPC from the org in sufficient quantity. Thousands, and up. Past that there are people and orga working on ways to handles smaller demands outside of OLPC.
Home schoolers are banding together to pool their purchasing power, as they have already been doing for textbooks and other supplies.
Trolls aside, this was the plan all along. OLPC is, as Mr Negroponte has been quoted often enough as saying, "an education project, not a laptop project".
Commercialization of all the technology is important to the plan, and not only because it will help bring the 200 $USD price down toward the goal price. If OLPC is retaining the IP, then that may help the project by providing a revenue stream. In fact the manufacturer Quanta has had plans to make and sell a commercial version of the hardware all along, and the project has never objected.
I also don't beam my LAN over RF into their kitchen, car and dog's brain. See the difference? Anyway once meshes are more common this will all hopefully pass away...
It really only seems neighbourly to share, so long as you are taking basic precautions (segmented networks, encrypted protocols, host hardening, etc).
I was heartened to see Mr Schneier's response about not locking home wireless networks. Now for business, it's a whole different dimension of suffering, as I'm sure you know.
Oh, and that's a dumb law, of course. Congress should be banned from making (new, stupid) laws until they spend a few terms repealing the (old, dumb) ones we already have.
Well, amongst all of the relatives, and friends, and friends' relatives (ad infinitum) there was this one pizza joint..
I fixed a blackjack videogame for them. It had a minitower 486 in it with a dead CMOS battery. I billed them for an hour of labor, and the new battery, soldered it on, brought it back and hooked it up.
It was more than a year before they let me pay for food or drink there. Later on I ended up running pie for them for awhile, but that's another story entirely.

If anyone in the 678/770/404 (or anyone else) would like to sit down over a cup of coffee and talk about starting an ISP to replace the Mindspring we have lost, I'd be quite interested to hear from you. In a addition to being a pressing technical need in the market, the loss is a major moral[e] blow...

The CVBs, if they failed, the 'competition' amendment
DSL/[C]LEC screwups
wireless
raw ugly logistics of starting a dial-up ISP from scratch

Good show in trying to quote Commissioner Pravin Lal from the classic game by Sid Meier, Alpha Centuari.
You may want to consult this arguably definitive list and update your sig, though:

Thank you sir, for taking the time to try ans answer our questions.
Good luck in your rather daunting current endeavor and in the future.

Nearly there.
Always treat code as hostile.
Defense in depth, capabilities, least privilege, fail closed, scrub inputs, escape everything ... I think there have been a few books written on this.
In PHP's case this fellow's slender volume is quite helpful: http://phpsecurity.org/ . And http://noscript.net/ .

It's being looked into. There were some extra regulatory hurdles for EU.
No such thing has been announced, mind you.
Oddly, that is who OLPC partnered with to do G1G1, and who share the blame for the screwups.

Heh. There should be a Star in the toolbar towards the right (try all the tabs), and it will add a Boomark, and the bottom toolbar to hold it.

I'm glad they followed through with the g1g1 idea, after all of the suggesting and petitioning.
