I dunno maybe you could have that nuclear waste pile explosion blow open a temporary dimensional wormhole causing the moon to bounce around the universe or something. Then you could pass by a different planet / system each week and still maintain some semblance of scifi cred.
I currently use NXClient w/Neatx for that kind of remote access/management. It works well with both Linux and Windows backends.
I guess the difference is accessing various os's with a single protocol rather than using NX & RDP (like the NXclient does) + also possibly getting around some of the builtin limitations (available only on certain flavors of Windows, limited # accesses by default etc) of RDP.
Uh, maybe no because then you'd be missing the point of the car..to drive it. Maybe instead you'd have to hot-wire the car each time and instead of a steering wheel you had to manually turn the wheels yourself oh and no seats but the thing runs like crazy and is extremely theft resistant.
If you have a service using an opensourced app then either license won't make much of a difference unless said competitor decides to distribute their version. At that point the GPL would appear to be the better choice as you would at least get any changes back.
Isn't it true that GPL (up to v2 at least) code that is "inhouse" does not have to be distributed? That seems very business friendly in this age of "application services".
maybe a little too late for me. I've gone with an alternative called "Proxmox VE" as a platform for VMs.
It's a slimmed Linux (?Debian?) install that uses KVM and Virtual Appliances and is managed with a nice easy web interface (similar too but simpler than Xen's with less features maybe). I am currently running a dev and a production server with no complaints (70+ days for the production server).
Some cool features include: - paravirtualized drivers for Windows from Qumranet to speed up network/hd io (I running with these in XP and 2003). With Linux those drivers are built in. - Live migration to another server on the network (have NOT tested this). - VM Backups. - Cluster management (not "clustering" AFAIK but I haven't done anything with this). - Virtual Appliances (have not used these yet).
I don't know all the capabilities of vmware client so there might be some really cool stuff there. For my needs though Linux + KVM + the proxmox management interface works great.
Uh - I may be missing the point but if you charge for a product then it seems to me you might have some sort responsibility to your clients (maybe even legal though IANAL).
Also depending on the OSS license you use you might have the responsibility of providing source code to those people whom you distribute it to.
I guess these things wouldn't prevent you from walking away but they might make it somewhat more annoying/painful.
I know nothing about this site and I found it interesting from a social dynamic perspective. Also it's probably important to learn about such co-opting strategies.
Not sure who is in the "right" here but the domain owners kinda get the last word on what they want and how to do things don't you think?
It's also kind of curious that the first few posts here seem to be so vitriolic against the posting of this article. As I recall/. is supposed to be "news for nerds" or some such. It seems to me "Coups" and "Underground Mac Movements" are about as nerdy as you can get.
According TO the GPL by declaring parts of Linux and other programs in violation of patents whatever - Aren't they then supposed to stop using the offending applications/kernel themselves (or seek permission from the copyright holders for the "non-infringing" parts)? -
No testing/integration/benchmarking servers or embedded routing stuff.. etc etc..
So in order to be science fiction you can't have mysticism or unknowable truths? Really?
Leaving plot devices like the "force" open to interpretation is a good way to give the story depth - making things more rich, interesting and unpredictable.
For me the explanation of what the force "was" was a big letdown, not quite what I had imagined it to be..
Maybe this is the essence of some of the problems with the newer episodes vs the older. Too much NOT left to the imagination, lots of the old "magic" gone.
Dealing with any foreign country involves a higher order bureaucratic process than doing business domestically don't you think?
It was trivially easy to set up my company in the U.S. as well - sending 2 letters: one to apply for a Tax ID number and one to go on file with my local state government. I guess the gist of the idea is what happens next - how much restrictions you have, what kind of taxes and fees you have to pay, what kind of funding is available that kind of thing.
I thought forking and merging (thanks to the license) are strengths of Linux. It's an evolutionary development process where the best or most popular ideas rise to the top. Basic standards arise out of the most widespread/adopted projects.
It's hard for me to see in this chaotic (but necessary) environment how much external control developers are willing to have "imposed" on them by such standards - unless of course from a development/technical standoint it makes sense.
My understanding is that Linux really isn't in the game of competing with anybody (Unix, Windows or otherwise) anyway. it's just about the code, love of things computers and a new way of doing things.
AFAIK Winpooch does more than just ClamAV it also monitors processes via API Hooking.
For me most of the warning popups occur when (un)installing apps - which is what I want. I believe you can set your own filters to mitigate this behavior.
Winpooch seems like a great app. I've been running it for a while with no major complaints. Not sure how good it is for non-tech users though. Also it would be nice to get some stats on how effective it + ClamWin really is.
Similar thing happened to me (sadly more than once ). For me the best strategy was/is to put half of the profit I get (after taxes of course) into savings and half into checking. In a short time you have a nice little buffer in case things slow down.
What if Microsoft is using Sun to expose code via Sun's shiny new OpenSource license with all the CYA's lacking in the GPL? (disclaimer: In true/. form I have NOT read the proposed license yet..)
Could it be that MS/Sun is using this to tempt devs into reviewing/copying patented code which can then be used against Linux & community in future lawsuits?
What could be the gain? Microsoft able to sow more FUD and slow competitors down while reinforcing the drones to keep all things Microsoft. Sun gets to take the moral high ground while championing their "safe" opensource "Unix-Killer" OS.
Yeah I know there are GPL processes in place to deal with copyrighted (patented too?) code... but why ruin a perfectly good paranoid delusion?
Well yes I agree sort of. I guess my point is that the propensity for making bad decisions (especially under pressure) is increased significantly by not having experience in the particular field.
Also it's very hard no matter how good you are in earning trust and respect (especially to THIS crowd no?) if you don't really have a clue what's going on.

Sounds interesting if the performance is decent.

Just saying..
Presumably it's not the cost that makes a novel good (or advanced). :)
Also there is movement in that direction see the creative commons license for more info.

Then again, I must be new here...
So he's still trying to do his thing. Wonder what happened to Isis?
Now all we need is a UFO sighting by a decorated pilot..

You can use WinPooch in combination with ClamWin to allow for active scanning type goodness.

.. super freaks
sorry.
Now how are we supposed to coordinate the counter attack against the aliens?
Unless of course it was migrated from the open source "stick" project.
.. and I would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for you meddling kids!!!!
I'm with you on that!

What about the "just get it done we have a deadline to meet and screw everything else" mentality of commercial vendors?
One of the big shockers out of college and into the big bad business world was the idea of "good enough" versus "doing it right".
E.
Can't believe no one else reported this.. It did have one cool dream/recall sequence.
