In the current fascist-control-orietated climate, no one is suggesting outlawing cars! No! Its enough that DRM enabled wireless controls are in place so that cars can have their engines turned off remotely.
Software Engineers aren't "real CS" people, are they? Isn't software engineering in a school of engineering? EECS people are engineers. Lots of math, physics, and EE classes, as well as CS classes. CS are code monkeys. If you want to stress the "science" in computer science, then you need a Phd, don't you? I know that in Physics the BS doesn't mean much...the Phd is the union card.
Well, then why not do the "get a job" code monkey program for two years and get a job, then after making money for a couple years enroll for a Master's Degree at the same time as your friend who went to the traditional school and then went straight to the MS w/o any work experience?
IBM backed Debian! Now there is a *sweet* image to consider: A non-commerical entity (can't be bought) that defines GNU/Linux "pure as in PURE", with the most self-consistent stable packages, rewarded with the IBM seal of approval. If only the world really worked that way.:-)
Yes, I meant, "Yahoo's terms of use aren't illeal censorship". Your point is exactly the point I meant to make. Worse...I previewed and didn't catch it. Thanks!
Insightful? Please consider that the First Amendment protects free speach from government censorship. Yahoo is *not* a government, so Yahoo terms of use aren't censorship. What has happened is that Yahoo isn't living up to their half of the terms of use. Once you start moderating what is posted, you are responsible for what isn't screened.
You actually are responsible for what you put forth in public forums. Slander and/or libel, as the case may be, can't be defended by a all-the-other-"kids on the playground"-were-doing-it-too defense.
Well but aren't they distributer? You can buy their hardware with Redhat on it. Isn't walmart a distributer for Pepsi? The GPL is not invoked if *run* GPL-ed software, but it surely is when I burn a copy and give it to my classmate. I just distributed it. IBM distributes. HP distributes (in a laptop, no less). Is there a legal definition they didn't cover in Intro Bus Law?
I am against software patents, but I have trouble with the suggestion that "real innovation in software is not in ideas", but rather in implementation. Does this mean that the third and fourth Spreadsheets implemented were innovative, but the first wasn't? Which seems more "To change or alter by introducing something new; to remodel; to revolutionize." Perhaps I'm confusing innovation with creation?
I asked a similar question in regard to patents on algorithms in my Numerical Anal II class. If I use a patented wavelet algorithm to calculate a value on a chalkboard, have I violated the patent? What if I don't need the chalkboard? The answer seemed to be that either would be a patent violation. So be careful how you think. If you use logic and arrive at a valid answer don't let anyone know until you've pattern searched the structure of your logic. It might be patented.
As "wide opening doors" ~ "grouping web pages", you suggest "fancy hinge" ~ "tabs"...
But the parent is saying that its actually wrong to differentiate as you do. Rather than "fancy hinge" ~ "tabs", "hinge" ~ "tabs", "fancy hinge" ~ "fancy tabs".
Let them patent a fancy hinge, sure. But don't say that "hinge" is owned. Likewise let patent their fancy tabs, but that shouldn't effect *my* fancy tabs.
Makes me wonder about that "nominal 5%" performance penalty. Thats 5% slower than a binary that wouldn't require the translation, yes? But as I recall from earlier Solaris x86 postings slashdotters considered Solaris x86 a dog. So the real question is how much slower will linux binaries run on solaris than on linux? Has any optimizaton gone into Soalris x86? Or is it still a dog?
Actually its because of limitations of the bandwidth of the physical connections that they are looking at this. Parasitic capacitance is the most wellknown limiting effect. Bandwidth is simply defined as the difference between the highest and lowest frequency that a channel passes. Natural processes that act as filters will limit the bandwidth.
"he'd purchased from iTMS using iTunes on Linux" is accurate.
"purchased from iTMS using iTunes on Windows on Linux" is not accurate and indicates you don't know what codeweavers (or wine) is.
You don't need Windows to run codeweavers/wine. It isn't like vmware, rather "Wine is an open source software initiative that is systematically re-implementing the Win32 API under Linux. Wine makes it possible for Linux PCs to run Windows application as if natively." The idea is natively code enough of windows under linux that linux becomes a superset of windows.
Wow. XMMS and Mozilla are the two apps to which Windows users are most attracted when first they see me running Linux. I'm assuming that if iTunes did your ID tags right that alone would make the difference, yes?
Except the sony runs PalmOS, and has "Camera Effective pixels: Approx. 310,000 pixels"...which is the "grungy camera" with which your parent was disgusted. The key to your parent's post is modularity. So strip out that grungy camera and provide a wirelessly integrated, separate, *real* camera, and likewise a wirelessly integrated, separate, cellphone.
So would my mother, God rest her soul. She was finally able to run the VCR before she passed. The whole "channel 3" thing was confusing. Myself, at just 42, I'm looking for HP-48 functionality married to python numeric. Oh, and it surely should *also* be able to make a damn phone call.
But doesn't the Java Desktop = Gnome? And while SUSE did favor KDE, Novell/Ximian has indicated Gnome inclinations. So the Java Desktop wouldn't change at all...it is just Gnome.
Its true enough that the "12-employee OSRM wants to charge companies $150,000 a year for $5 million in legal coverage", but its companies, not users.
Your link then goes on to list Bruce Perens' concerns about MS and patent attacks as part of the so-called FUD. My trust-o-meter dial is about to bend its needle on the peg, now.
Now what is interesting, is that here we have FUD about FUD. I propose we call this meta-FUD. Any arguements leading to fears about the effects of meta-FUD are meta-meta-FUD attacks.
But if Sun bought Novell to screw SuSE, then IBM might consider donating technical enhancements and cash to, say, Mandrake. IBM wouldn't need to be in the OS business.
Don't you think IBM thought rolling their own would have alienated the community back when they first stuck their toe in the water? Am thinking that in another 5 years or so, if they continue winning hearts and minds, an IBM/GNU/Linux wouldn't be so scary (for us.)
But only if said engineers were willing to stay to work for Sun. Maybe some of the original Novel crowd might, but I doubt if SuSE or Xiamian people would be lining up to work for Sun.

The breakdown stated 5 hours GE/quarter for 10 quarters. Thats 50 units of GE. Thats about right for a BS.

IBM and Novel both have plenty of historical reason to hate MS.

"[2] The libraries are actually pretty damn awesome. They are the crown jewels at this point - complete enough to make the host OS irrelevant."
You aren't the only one who thinks so!
Buzzzz...nope, not quite right.

Especially if IBM is pushing, and Sun (without a clue) is pulling Oracle .
