Patent law specifically allows people to "make their own" based on the patented design. You aren't allowed to produce the items for sale or distribution, but you are allowed to make one for yourself.
This is where patent law and 3D printers are really going to collide, because 3D printing makes it easy to make your own.
One might be able to argue that the model used to do the printing is "distributing the design", but it's not illegal to distribute a patented design, only to produce the designed items for sale.
The universe is God's body. God is just this naval-gazing super entity sending out shards of life force to explore it's own existence.
The God I believe in doesn't give a damn about individual lives or planets any more than I stress out when I lose a hangnail. If it's a *big* hangnail, there may be a moment of pain, but individual cell death is not noticed at all.
Sure my view doesn't give one the "comfort" of an all-knowing and all-powerful benevolent God, but God has only been "benevolent" for about 2000 years in the first place. Prior to that it was a veangeful creature of anger and smiting, thrashing people into submission if they didn't sacrifice enough goats and cattle.
I slipped a decimal -- that should be $1,118,000. The CPI in 1913 was 9.9. In 2013 it's over 233. In other words, things now cost about 25 times as much as in 2013.
What has happened to mankind's sense of adventure?
The wild craziness that led people to sail off the "edge" of the earth in search of new lands?
Which led equally crazy people to canoe up a river just to see where it went and whom they might trade with?
The suicidal nuttiness that led to the colonization of this continent by the oppressed and rejected?
Not only has the nanny state taken over government, there seem to be droves of people for whom it's not enough to be "protected" -- they have to make sure no one else follows the spirit of adventure, either.
Like NSA spying, the hacker just caught some "innocent bystanders" by accident. It wasn't illegal hacking, just an honest mistake. Just like the NSA collecting information on innocent people while claiming to target terrorists.
Exactly. Virtually everyone I know with a tablet already has a PC in the household.
"Smart Phones" are another story -- I know a lot of people who's only internet access device is a smart phone. But they're also all young people who haven't built up a home and a house, and who don't have room for a computer in the room that they rent. I've no doubt that when they're older and in a home of their own, they'll have a computer like everyone else.
Sure, if you're going to architect your code that way. But the benefit of "running Linux applications" would be to use existing application code under this OS. And as I mentioned, a lot of such application code spins processes like a fiend.
Now mind you, one could (at least theoretically) use this OS for the server processes like databases, and a "normal" Linux process for the web server. But then you get into the issue of having to maintain a variety of VM definitions within one cluster, which kind of negates the point of having standard images that are used by multiple customers. It also means that customers are expected to run multiple VMs by default.
I could see providers that charge by the VM rather liking that, though. Soak that there customer. Open your wallet wide.:P
Because there is no userland, all the applications are running with kernel priveleges. That means a flaw in any of those programs can interfere with the whole software stack, whereas with userland protection the individual processes are isolated from each other by the OS.
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding, but it sounds to me much like AmigaDOS was -- there were hooks for security enforcement calls, but none of them were implemented so any program could stomp on any other program. Sure it was fast, but it sure wasn't secure.
Take web services, for example. The web server ends up launching PHP or Java interpreters, which in turn launch shell commands and access databases. Or do you think you're going to get good performance firing IP messages all over the place to access your databases instead of staying within a single VM instance?
While the concept of this OS fits for something like timed, it falls down badly on the security front for real workloads.
That, in a nutshell, is the article poster's problem. They want support for ancient technology, but can't pay for it.
That means it's dead. It's defunct. It's passed on. It's kicked the bucket. It's pushing up daisies.
So, yes, time to move on.
And if it works, what maintenance is he asking for? If that's the case, then the package maintainer's "maintenance" is sufficient to keep it in a coma.
Amongst many other streaming services in Canada, we have CBC Music, which covers a wide variety of properly licensed streams. In fact, some of the other internet radio stations in the country are right pissed at the agreements CBC managed to sign up to, and even the record companies have cried "foul" over the fact that CBC has the right to stream their entire catalogues for a fixed fee.
But they can't do jack shit about it, because they negotiated the contract -- they just didn't think it through.
Much as they didn't think it through when they signed up for the fees on blank CDs that essentially made it implicitly legal to rip and burn your own copies of CDs in Canada, because every blank you bought had a fee to pay for the privelege.
Syria just signed on. That's the whole point of this discussion.
As to the US, they've destroyed something on the order of 90% of their chemical weapon stockpile, though it took 30 years so far and will take a few more before they're done.
The everyday people who just with both Assad and the opposition would put their guns to their own heads and let them and their families live in peace again.
The hippies were a minority; the artists they listened to even more so.
The vast majority of people from the 60s were ordinary, every day, greedy, self-serving humans.
As were the people of any age in human civilization. Take your rose-coloured glasses off. The past was not better than the present, and for the most part, the present is no worse than the past. The greedy and selfish clawed, kicked, and jackbooted their way to power and control, took more than their share, and kicked the commoners in the nads. The commoners whined and complained about how rich the powerful were.
The bar band industry won't die any quicker than the alcohol-serving industry.
It's not glamorous and it won't make you rich, but if it's what you want to do, it's fun and lets you play for an audience.
The problem is not that there is a shortage of venues, but a shortage of big profit venues, and too many egotistical artistes think the world owes them millions for sharing their "style." It doesn't. 99% of bands never even make enough for the members to support themselves; they do it for the love of the music.
And that love of the music is why I'd far rather go to a local bar, buy one beer, and listen to a band that wants to play their music than some hack like Rihanna who expects the entire audience to wait for two hours while she gets stoned before stumbling on stage and putting on a lacklustre performance. Don't get me wrong -- the girl has pipes -- she can sing. But she's too rich and lazy now to put in a real effort anymore for the audience.

Which in 1913 was worth about $118,000 http://www.minneapolisfed.org/community_education/teacher/calc/hist1913.cfm
I can't find anything that would take that back to 1492 to see what it might have been equivalent to back then.
But the bottom line is compared to Columbus' journey, $50M current dollars is pocket change.
Or, quoting one of the monks at a Humanist Buddhist temple I used to have lunch at:
Or more aptly, "Lead by example."

Pathetic.
Harper has been muzzling Canadian scientists for a long time, cutting their budgets, axing research, and so on.

I am so tired of seeing "not supported in your region" messages from US companies.
Process isolation is one part of security.
Sure, if you're going to architect your code that way. But the benefit of "running Linux applications" would be to use existing application code under this OS. And as I mentioned, a lot of such application code spins processes like a fiend.

I can't see that being feasible. That would mean launching each process as a new VM. The overhead would be insane.
Because there is no userland, all the applications are running with kernel priveleges. That means a flaw in any of those programs can interfere with the whole software stack, whereas with userland protection the individual processes are isolated from each other by the OS.

One "app" is rarely "one program."

You're confusing "local club" with "bar band."
The bar band industry won't die any quicker than the alcohol-serving industry.
It's not glamorous and it won't make you rich, but if it's what you want to do, it's fun and lets you play for an audience.

I did, but didn't clue in until you mentioned it.
*LOL*
Like 16-bit DOS applications and Windows XP, all things eventually reach end of life.
Get over it and move on to something else.
Just to let you know, while I'm not a grammar nazi, your sig manages to irritate the shit out of me. But that's the whole point of it. Kudos. :D
