  5. I Prefer to think of him as a Plastic Jesus on Bill Gates, Entertainment God? · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    I don't care if it rains of freezes
    'Long as I got my Plastic Jesus
    Riding on the dashboard of my car.

    Through my trials and tribulations
    And my travels through the nations
    With my Plastic Jesus I'll go far.
    Plastic Jesus! Plastic Jesus,
    Riding on the dashboard of my car

    I'm afraid He'll have to go.
    His magnets ruin my radio
    And if I have a wreck He'll leave a scar.
    Riding down a thoroughfare
    With His nose up in the air,
    A wreck may be ahead, but He don't mind.

    Trouble coming He don't see,
    He just keeps His eye on me
    And any other thing that lies behind.
    Plastic Jesus! Plastic Jesus,
    Riding on the dashboard of my car ...

    Though the sunshine on His back
    Make Him peel, chip and crack,
    A little patching keeps Him up to par.
    When I'm in a traffic jam
    He don't care if I say "damn"
    I can let all my curses roll

    Plastic Jesus doesn't hear
    'Cause he has a plastic ear
    The man who invented plastic saved my soul.
    Plastic Jesus! Plastic Jesus,
    Riding on the dashboard of my car ...

    Once His robe was snowy white,
    Now it isn't quite so bright -
    Stained by the smoke of my cigar.
    If I weave around at night,
    And policemen think I'm tight,
    They never find my bottle - though they ask.

    Plastic Jesus shelters me,
    For His head comes off, you see
    He's hollow, and I use Him for a flask.
    Plastic Jesus! Plastic Jesus,

    Riding on the dashboard of my car ...
    Ride with me and have a dram
    Of the blood of the Lamb -
    Plastic Jesus is a holy bar.

    It's also on the query side as well. How many people have written wrapper classes to deal with different databases?

    As a side effect, implementing one database call, even with a db_type parameter in the database calls, gives a certain level of abstraction which would allow for greater cross portability. It also helps with application debugging, generating the error closer to the actual failure point, rather than in the wrapper class itself.

    Although I wholehartedly agree with your comment about the proliferation of inefficient coding styles, the additional power allows us to write higher abstraction languages, almost to the point of natural-language programming. More structure introduced into programming can only mean a shift to programming in english, and that can only mean less poor spelling on slashdot.

    I see it as win-win

    They don't have to show anyone the entire codebase. They just have to compile it and hash the Kernels. If it matches what they shipped in production, then you can at least date the code.
    Also, asking the developers very pointed questions like what outside sources did you use when you wrote the X component of the kernel and Where did this comment come from would preclude the need for developers to sign an NDA.

    By the same token, say you're doing some programming for IBM. YOu go reading through the sources for AIX, you understand it, you learn how it works. Now you're put on another project, say the volume manager for Linux. Sure things are a lot different, but because you've been playing around with AIX for a while, you got some really neat tricks to add scalability and stability. You change a routine here, add a better algorithm there, and you got that sucker screaming.
    Now whose ideas did you use, and more importantly, who cares? Sure stealing is wrong, it says so in our lawbooks. But what exactly have you stolen? Does AIX not have a LVM because you used some ideas from it in Linux? Should a Ford not have Antilock brakes because GM put them on their cars before Ford?
    We have broken the system to the point where it is illegal to learn anything, because somebody learned it before us. We are not stealing somebody's hard work. We are expanding on it, and with Linux, they can do the same thing back to their own product. Has there been a lawsuit because Microsoft has taken on some of the same projects that Linux has? Used ideas from one and placed them into the other? No, and by rights there shouldn't be. If Linus had compiled SCO and called it Linux, then there would be a case. If Linus used the knowledge he learned in university that the original Unix guys learned, should he be crucified? No.

    and oh yeah, fuck SCO. You can sue me too you worthless piles of festering pestilence.

    The only thing that I can see from the new litigation against Novell is that SCO is attempting to strongarm them into shutting up. Hell, at this point, I don't care that it will set a precident for lawsuits, I just wish that somebody would just buy SCO's collective asses and shut them the hell up. Hell, even Novell has enough capital to pull this one off.

    Interestingly enough, Sco is suing Novell just about the same time that Novell is about to release netware 6, complete with open source integration.
