If I own IP rights to a technology what prevents me from licensing it under many different contracts? In this case as a derivitive work under Unix System V license and under Linux under the GNU code. I know there are projects like PHP who license under dual licenses.
I thought the same thing till I stumbeled across the the US DOE's Fueld Economy website. Even among small pickups there isn't a model that gets better than 30MPG. If it weren't for the Toyota RAV4 it would be even worse for SUVs. Crazy.
After looking at the options out there today for fuel efficient vehicles that still maintain their responsiveness, Turbo Diesels come out on top. 45MPG + and still decent performance. Unfortunatly VW is the only company producing any for export to the US. Supposedly Jeep will offer a Diesel Liberty in two years.
For you Sprint Vision customers out there, the Hitachi P300 (free with activation) has a built in POP3 Email client. Sure the LCD is tiny, but at least you get a no-brainer mobile email solution.
I'm not sure about IBM, but most large corporations tend to structure their businesses to insulate risk. I wouldn't be suprised to find that the part of IBM that licensed AIX and the part of IBM that sells Linux and the part that develops Linux are all insulated from each other.
I can't remember any specific episode where they wore any hat. I think Kirk wore a fur hat in one episode on a cold planet though. I assume that the uniforms aboard the Enterprise follow the Navy tradition of not wearing hats aboard ship.
The amusing part is that for some unknown reason we "trust" Apple more than probably any other company to make this work. Heck, I havn't owned an Apple since the 80's and for some reason I just trust that Apple will do the right thing.
Get a team together of Linux kernel hackers and ask Novell for a small team to healp search the linux source for plagarism. I'm pretty sure there are some decent plagerism detection apps floating around
What's next? The Post Office patenting moving a package or envelope from one location to another? Verisign was working under a government enfoced monopoly controlling domain names. Now we are getting bent over the table?
I'm sorry, either type in the IP address or deposit 5 cents.
What you are seeing is the inevitable incorporation of myth into society. Today one of these looneys may write a story. A thousand years from now there may be millions of people around the world gathering in places of worship to read and explain these stories to a new generation.
Go ahead and laugh. Or rant. You may be living in Camelot right now. President Bush slaying evil dragons?
I work for SAIC - This is a misrepresentation!

Inside SAIC
·
· Score: 3, Informative
We are a large company (40K employees an growing) working on many sizes of tech-related contracts - most small. Most importantly, we are employee owned- 100% employee owned.
The official line is : Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), a Fortune 500 company, is the largest employee-owned research and engineering company in the United States. We provide information technology, systems integration and eSolutions worldwide.
The important point is that we are very diverse. The best explaination of our corporate makeup is to describe a solar system of companies with SAIC corporate in the middle. The organzation is very flat and transparent.
As much as I like the cuetsy characterizations of SAIC as a spy haven with wizards and towers and stuff, the truth is less exciting. The vast masjority of our constacts are straight meat-and potato development and support work. We do just about anything tech related, and we do it very well. please disgregaurd the SIG below.
But my main point is that since there is an ever increasing flood of information there will be a constant flow of software applications needed to meet the demand. A small fraction of these needs are repeatable, so a full-blown application will be needed.
Example: A 3D to 2D video decoder(TM). Once 3D video becomes mainstream there will be a need to view the information on legacy hardware and in a format that allows for quick selection/review. New information-> new need for parsing that information-> new application for meeting that need.
It is true that most of the easy and obvious software has already been written(word processing, calendar, spreadsheet, etc). The cycle of innovation is likely to start streatching out (barring some huge industy-shaking innovation).
Last friday I was sitting in a meeting. A guy giving a presentation was trying to input about 900 records of data into a new system when he discovered the data was in the wrong format. A dozen contractors twiddling thumbs on company time because of a litte hosed data.
I took me about five minutes to wrote a little routine to parse the data into the correct format. Within the hour we were back on schedule.
So the answer to the question is "no".
This is the age of information. The more information we have, the more need there will be to manipulate that infroamtion.
You pussies only have the option of not defending youerselves because your neighbors do it for you. If Iraq were your neighbor you wouldn't have lasted a day. Smug idiots.
BTW, watched Strange Brew again this weekend. Just as hilarious as I remembered it.
The real reason Matrix is great is because virtually all other sci-fi movies have sucked. Maybe 1 out of 10 is even watchable. Between canned storylines, making movies about special effects and Hollywood endings... it's all too sad to contemplate.
I've read a handful of awesome sci-fi books in my my life (out of thousands read) and I can truthfully say it would be sad to see them turned into a movies. Ender's Game with a happy ending? Could liberal Hollywood really get the point of "Atlas Shrugged" across? Expectations are already so low that even I compliment the latest rendition of LOTR. At least they didn't completerly bungle it. Battlefield Earth anyone?
Having worked on a few large projects I'm always amazed how you can start with a clear set of ideas like this guy and wind up with a monstrosity. I'm pretty sure a Linux distro meeting my needs could easily fit on one CD -source and all. Instead I wind up installing 3CDs because. It's just too hard to say "no".

1394...iLink...Firewire for now. Al least I'm getting apples and Apples'.

Actually the problem is probably too many installed languages.

is 2-10 % better than ratio provided by PKZip and WinZip.

Doesn't a lot of the effect of the explosion of a Daisy Cutter depend on the fluid dynamics of a nitrogen density atmosphere?
