I think it's funny they blame the FSF for claiming the two liceneses are incompatible when it was Mozilla who first stated this and intentionally made an incompatable license. I guess the FSF makes an easy scape goat these days.
Under our reading of the GPL, it will not be possible to incorporate code covered by the GPL into the Communicator source code base. It is also not possible to use GPLed code and NPLed code together in a Larger Work. This is different for LGPL code. It is possible to create a larger work using LGPLed code that can then be used in conjunction with NPLed code through an API.
After the NPL and MPL were created, the Free Software Foundation stated that the NPL and MPL were "incompatible" with the GPL. "Incompatibility" in this context means that (in the opinion of the FSF) developers who combined code licensed under the NPL (or MPL) with code licensed under the GPL and distributed the resulting work could not do such distribution without violating the terms of the GPL. Given that the LGPL contains similar language to the GPL, if the MPL were in fact incompatible in this way with the GPL, it would arguably be incompatible with the LGPL as well.
Gnome offiice turns the office idea on it's head. It doesn't tie you to one spreadsheet or word clone. It has an enitre range of apps you can mix and match with. And their are intergrating Open Office with it. So you can use a mix of heavy weight and light weight apps. One of the reason they dumped so much out of Star Office is that Gnome office already had the apps.

The two proprietary components of CrossOver are our installation utility, which is of no general value, and
If it's of no value the why not open it? I mean it seems rather daft to limit your costumer base to those who are willing to run closed code in super user mode. What does it do? It could install spyware or give my browser the yellow links for all I know.
I care a lot less about the program that runs in normal user mode.
Hopefully they'll be adding a lot of value to the product. I mean, I can get for free a product with source code I can fix, or I can pay for one that I can't.
This is pretty typical behaviour for Microsoft. What free software advocates don't understand is that eventually Microsoft is going to consider you a threat and crush you like a bug. You'd be wise to start a lobbying group today and start lobbying congress on free software. You'd be wise to start a PR group and start improving free software's image today.
By the time Microsoft makes it move it will be too late. A whole bunch of dead people will have written their congressman asking them to stop the evil free software.
If you actually read the article you would see that they are also able to emulate Windows when needed.
If you don't teach them word, doesn't mean they aren't learning how to use software. By learning the ideas behind it, kids can easily learn another word processor. It tends people who learn computers late in life that can handle a changing interface. Anyways, MS changes the interface on Word with every version, so does it really matter?
Before Stallman got involved with the KDE issue, it was closed sourced. Do you want all of your apps to include closed source code that can'y be fixed or improved. Now Gt is GPLed. I think the Linux world is a better place for it.
I'm pretty sure those of us who have met Stallman in person would agree wholeheartedly.
Actually I've met him, and he's nothing like the fantasy people have built up around him. Yes he has strong opinions, but he's a really neat guy. He told me that as a computer user the most important thing for me to do is program. He didn't lecture me on the GPL or GNU, although I'm sure he would if I asked.
One thing people forget is that Linux is licensed under the GPL which alludes to the fact that it's part of the GNU project, unlike X11, Perl, Apache or BSD which have project licenses of their own.
The major problem with Palm Pilots is that you have to get all your info ahead of time on your PC. The problem with Computerized Information Kiosks is that it's hard to take the information with you.
Now imagine the two working together. You need directions or some good sushi places, you walk up to the kiosk, do a search and transfer it to you palm pilot.
This concept could do so much, too bad Palm probably doesn't have the capital to pull it off.
It's unfortunate that we have to take up the reins of marketing for Loki. So many software companies operate by the "if you build it, they will come" principle.
I suggest we encourage people to buy Loki games on the many forums we might be on, such as Mailing Lists and Message Boards.
I didn't even realize they exists till a couple of weeks ago when I happem to be in a software store.
Wait a minute, code is speech. We can't censor it and then complain that hackers like Dmitry are being censored.
In theory, their is nothing wrong with Windows XP that the market couldn't fix, the problem is that the company Microsoft is illegal. Instead of punishing consumers, we should punish Microsoft and break it up into Baby Bills. This way the market can fix it for us.
I propose breaking MS into 3 operating system companies, 1 content company, 2 internet access companies, 2 productivity application companies and a game company.
I'd suspect we'd start to see some consumer choice.
It doesn't matter that Linux users weren't interested as much in Dell computers, or that Dell mismanaged it's Linux offerings. What matters is that this will help contribute to the perception that Linux as a desktop OS is dead. This will mean less investment for these purposes. Luckily Linux is user supported, so it will live on.
If a windows based company goes under, it's their fault, if a Linux based company goes under, it's Linux's fault.
It's not fair, but it's what happens in the computer market. But I've felt that Linux has been trying to hard to copy Windows; why copy a bad operating system. It needs to find it's own voice and be better.
Actually they had a bunch of mechanical arcade games. One I remember was a driving game. The road was on a spool and you used a steering wheel to move the car in order to keep it on the road. They had all sorts of things like this. You can still find them at older amusement parks that haven't been bought out.
Unfortunately, they have monopolies in many places. Sure, I can cancel my cable modem, but then I have to live with 28.8. I could cancel my cable TV, but then I can live with 3 fuzzy channels. And if you are only ready boycotting the RIAA and MPAA, what do you do for entertainment?
When they were deciding to move away from OS/2 they posted this which states:
C) Develop for Windows where our limit to growth would always be Microsoft coming in and competing with anything worthwhile we might create.
If you're a commercial software developer, the choices were pretty grim. So we chose the least of the 3 evils -- C. We designed our primary product to be delivered as a subscription in which new features could be introduced into it immediately rather than havign to wait for the next major version. Thus, if Microsoft or Symantec or Mijenix (now Ontrack) or some other large utility vendor decided to compete with us, we could stay ahead of them. So we adopted the slogan "Innovation on demand" and went forward.
Bush's daughters are 19 years old and it's not Bush's responsibility to discipline them, that falls to the government. Why the people of america thinks it's a good idea for the government to discipline adults who drink 2 alcoholic beverages is another mystery. I think americans like the government running their lives.
SuSE makes more then SuSE Linux. They have the SuSE email client. They also provide support for all their products, and write several manuals. Also, don't forget that they at least used to do very well placing their products in stores. SuSE Linux 6.x was available at Waldenbooks.
Saturday night, I wanted to hear some music from this band I hadn't heard before. Went to napster, downloaded it and all was good. The next day I went to the store and bought the CD. Of course things may be easier when you are looking for german metal.

This reminds me of when people ran OS/2 in oder to develope for Windows 3.1
This product may appeal to companies who see the need to develope for Linux but turn those nose up at actually having to run it.
Now imagine the two working together. You need directions or some good sushi places, you walk up to the kiosk, do a search and transfer it to you palm pilot.

First their was BCPL, then B, then C. Logically the next language in this family would be P.
