They are also trading in different markets. Mandrake is not floating on the NASDAQ, they're floating on the "Marché Libre" of EuroNext - the Pan-European market (Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam).
The point of the tale: once you're getting paid it is no longer about fun anymore. By the last day the children felt that they deserved to be paid and so they were no longer willing to do for free what they used to do for fun.
Like billyg has any worries about his bank balance. Raw unquestionable control is what he wants and he'll do whatever he can to get it except break the law.
I'm not going to say anything. I'm going to sit in my chair and watch them put up an argument. Then I'm going to say to the judge "you're honour, everything they have said here today has been true but it is also wrong. You have a choice, choose what is right." And when the judge chooses what is wrong, I want to know, how much am I up for? Really, that's going to be up to the judge to decide and I think he is going to ask some questions like "How long did it take you to write this software?" and "Why did you spend that much time to make something you give away for free?" and those are the questions I'm going to answer.
While many people tell you: "fight fight fight" it is easy to say when you are not getting a second mortgage to ensure the $100k you forked out in legal fees to date are not lost. If however, you cannot get free help or have just as deep a pocket?sometimes be right doesn't help.
Hmm.. Are you speaking from experience or what? Really, if I just tell AOL to fuck off and they drag me into court and I do not willingly fork any of my money over to lawyers, what am I going to get hit by? How much is it going to cost me to be passive resistant? It would appear to me that it is *I* who are making *them* spend money. People talk about "dragging out" a court case until one of the parties goes broke. How exactly do you do this? There's so much rumor about court cases, just how many of you people have ever been to court?
Only individual propositions can possible or impossible. You would use "valid" or "sound" to describe a theory. I dont think this article presented her theories, it just reported her demonstration of one of her propositions (kites can lift heavy objects). Perhaps her theory is this:
Kites can lift heavy objects.
The materials needed to make kites were available to the ancient egyptians.
Therefore the egyptians could have used kites to lift heavy objects.
Which is a valid argument. By demonstrating that 1 is possible she hopes to show that her argument is sound. If however her argument was:
Kites can lift heavy objects.
The materials needed to make kites were available to the ancient egyptians.
Therefore the egyptians used kites to lift heavy objects.
It never ceases to amaze me that people are more interested in what happened 5000 years ago than they are in what happened 100 years ago. Industrial revolution? what's that? Scientific management? what's that?
I was forced to talk to my children. I rang my mother up and asked her what to do but all I got was a bunch of babble about "raising" my children. I think my mother has been reading one too many self help books.

Maybe this isn't funny because Linux is married with 2 kids? Thank you Jon Katz for reaffirming the geek stereotype.

hehe, dont worry about it. After all, I was paraphrasing the book "The Working Life" by Joanne B. Ciulla and god knows who she was paraphrasing.

So you didn't even read the GPG manual did you?
Cool. Makes that vow of poverty all the more attractive now doesn't it?
This was unquestionably Jobs' idea.
Silicone Valley is a few miles south of here. Also known as LA.

Wow, it's like they actually want you to come up with a unique name for your project. Bastards!
Pray tell, what is so unique and amazing about selling proprietory software?
'tis the system we have created.
Dude, they didn't have cameras back then :)

Hey cool, the Sol was a sweet box. Processor Technology really should have owned the market but they missed their price point IIRC.
Uhh.. no fucking shit sherlock, that's why I asked.
So is your mom.
It's just a rounding error.
How about a simple exact: query type? Too damn slow I suppose.
