Under the new revised GPL (soon to be released), if you just use a GPL program you must make 12 copies of the source and distribute them to your friends and family members.
RedHat implemented this for a week. One engineer said, "Man.. I mean everyone I know has a copy now. And I've received so many copies that I can't see out the rear view window of my car." Another engineer found two CDs in his hamburger during lunch! "This is getting ridiculous....", he said.
Suprisingly, there are areas of M$ that have been shut down because of the plethora of CDs that are now littering the campus. Bill Gates was heard saying, "See the problems that free software causes!" M$ has set up a charitable foundation for Victims of Free Software to help combat the problem. You can also download a "free" (DRM protected) video explaining the virtues of having just ONE supplier for all software and why Free software does not count.
Did you even read what I posted?? What on earth makes you think that the FACT (that's spelled F A C T) that BOTH SCO and Sun EQUATE Linux to Unix means that Sun and SCO are somehow in cahoots with each other... upsidedown_duck fits you well.
The are both incredibly wrong with their conclusion that Linux is Unix.. that is all.
I strongly doubt that this picture is actual footage from the display picture-quality. Seems to me that they've inserted a nice image with some photo-editing software. It is just to show the outer case.
Hmmm.. appears that maybe their photo-editing software is having difficult with the color blue as well! I wonder if there will be a blue case option?.. we need better technology... I'm feeling blue.
By clicking the unsubscribe me link, you are confirming that a LIVE person read the email, thus raising the value of the email id (which are bought and sold regularly between spammers). Obviously, confirmed working and READ addresses are worth more money.
Best advice is to have more than email address. Even better if you can have a separate one for EVERY online form you fill out. Then you can safely identify anyone selling your information. Of course, most is harvested from website caches and newsgroups and such. You'll want to shroud your addresses used there.
I heard that Amazon went after them for implementing one-click-to-send-to-Indonesia capabilities.
Also... Darl now seemingly denies that he owns the OS inside of the Super-Xbox.
Look, the fact is that most of the traffic and 90% of all problems are caused by uneducated folks on the internet.
Though perhaps not practical, it would be neat to see a "driver's license" for the internet. Done "correctly", it could still be anonymous (which may be asking for the impossible if gov'ts are invovled).
Huh?? You think DDNS works in Windows? You have to run a stupid skulker to clean up the mess left behind. Running ISC's BIND and DHCP you get tagged updates. Also, under Windows, the client makes updates to the DNS server...huh?..what??!! Just plain wrong. Your statements about DDNS under Linux are just plain incorrect. DDNS is fundamentally broken under Windows (for non-Windows clients)... DDNS (ISC) in Linux handles it all and does it nicely.
Btw... ISC DDNS implementations don't make assumptions with regards to setup... you are the admin and you SHOULD know what your DHCP server and DNS server are doing... can't say that at all with regards to Windows. Easy in the Windows case means, "seems to be working with just a few unexplained issues". I'd rather not have the "few unexplained issues".
But you can't play Doom3.. takes 3 days to just get D...o...o...
Remember the 6600 is measured in frames per seconds rather than characters per second.
You're right about IT, I can often do with just a 6600 instead of the 6800 Ultra.
However, if you need to downgrade (MX420 is just too fast!). I've got some Trio and Oak boards. They'll even do 8-bitplanes at 800x600! Hope that doesn't get you too excited.
To be honest, Suns current strategy is pretty good and has already started a turnaround for Sun. While I definitely disagree with the notion that Sun is some kind of benevolent open source, pro-Linux entity, their recent changes (Opteron, OpenSolaris) are proving to be good decisions.
Im not anti-Sun, but Im anti-the-attitude that Sun is somehow pro GNU/Linux. They are not... however, the are for it, IF and only if, it can be USED to propel their business (a business without GNU/Linux) model.
Sun likes GNU/Linux ONLY as long as it stays an OS for hobbiests... btw, Microsoft is fine with this as well!
Because of Sun, IBM, HP, we have Linux. At a time when they COULD have "ruled the world", they gave up and gave the market, willingly, to Microsoft. When the world screamed for an affordable solution, Sun was still offering a proprietary Unix that costs thousands of dollars and only ran on their very expensive workstations. Even worse, it was during that same time period that Sun (and the rest) decoupled their compiler technolgies making the price even higher!
They contributed things ONLY when it was deemed as a means to promote the adoption of Solaris as the ONLY viable OS.... yet they were perfectly willing to let Microsoft have the desktop and stated it many, many times publicly during that time period.
(I won't bring up the whole USL thing)
I only date back to System 7... but I think I have a pretty good knowledge of the history. If you understand ANYTHING of the early Unix time period and even the eighties/nineties (your data), you know that the whole Unix community was very much about sharing and Sun was certainly a leader in the low end/workstation arena (a favorite becauce, while too expensive, Sun was often the lowest price).
Meanwhile Sun TODAY denounces the Free Software Foundation by telling people that the GPL is bad for all of computing and stands firmly in agreement with Microsoft on that. Also they have partnered with Microsoft in a LONG term (10 year?) relationship to bring better proprietary integration between their (Solaris and Windows) operating systems at the expense of GNU/Linux (which refuses to sell their soul in order to serve the almight dollar).
Sun is ultimately only interested in serving themselves (it has always and only been all about the money). They will leverage GNU/Linux as long as it serves their purpose.
I sent Bill a copy of it after charging him $175 to his credit card via paypal. His order tracking number is A866DEC0, and should be shipped within three business days.
Ekush is not only violating the rights of ReactOS by deriving a product without releasing the modified source, they also derive code of (and are violating the rights of) Wine, FreeType and QEmu."
Deriving is not a problem. Distributing is (talking about the GPL in particular).
You can use/destroy/mangle/mutilate to your hearts content, even withing the confines of a company... but if distributed publically, fee or not, you have to provide access to the source (for fee or not).
I'm sorry but being a "red hat" shop statement isn't exactly correct, unless you were referring to them exclusively. Suse uses RPM's as well and the Redhat directory and file tree, so they (Dell) more or less are still a Redhat shop for all intent's and purposes.
SUSE uses the RPM package format BUT they build and configure their OWN packages!! They do NOT use Red Hat's directory and file tree... NO! The only thing that "isn't exactly correct" is your post.
Red Hat and SUSE are VERY different from each other.

Wow, a car analogy. Who would have thought?
I think everything can be explained easily with a car analogy.
Stupid kids.
John Young was on before coming to Earth?? Guess he got out just in time!!
Sheesh the pro Microsoft moderators are out in full force lately!

I wasn't able to see the ad in Firefox. Only with MSIE. Just another reason why MSIE is superior!
Though this is off topic (stuff about Linux Today), most have upgraded to http://lxer.com anyhow.

I heard several other people have done the same.
Not a threat.. my eye!

Can't we get an objective party.. let's say God, to perform these kinds of experiments?
I wonder what would happen if God did an experiment that "proved" He didn't exist?
What do you think?
I'm John Kerry, and I appove this message. I think.
