I really hope you are trolling, I also used to work there. They have a very legitimate reason to disallow Skype... it is a P2P application with supernodes, and it has already been shown that if you have a supernode, you could sniff some information about the calls. Therefore, your competitors could be running supernodes and sniffing information. Now that Skype is owned by Microsoft, their concerns are really valid..
Many of the breakthroughs of the past century were done in times of war (between WW1 and WW2), since there was a real interest in having applicable research. From this perspective, I'd rather have slower progress rates...
Because his "no-compromise" attitude has been proven right for many years. I envy him for being consistent thru all these years. Unfortunately, it is more confortable to live in a grey area, because it gives more benefits in the short term. Even if you think he is wrong, he has been holding his opinion for many years. That fact by itself deserves recognition and respect...
Duh. Dude, you should see clamav, a full opensource antivirus for Linux, FreeBSD and even Windows, which integrates nicely with virtually every mailer out there.

We'll protect our code just like you will protect yours. This community is very aggressive at protecting their work, look at the recent fuss over the Linksys device that was using Linux. Nobody got upset at the enforcement of the GPL and nobody should get upset at us enforcing our license.
I think that RMS is the troll here. Let's get the most important fact: NOBODY forced Linus to user Bitkeeper, it was his choice. So, Linus was the first one to agree to Bitkeeper's Licence. If anyone does not it, let's get angry with Linus and not with McVoy.
I still can not understand why there MUST be a GPL Bitkeeper client. Bitkeeper does not hold a monopoly on versioning systems, so there is no reason to make a clone. If RMS does not like Linux to be hosted on a not free product, that's fine, but it is not a good reason to break a licence. I think its hypocritical to break McVoy licence even if it is for a "noble" cause.
Wrong. I can compile my PHP code with Zend Encoder, Turck MMCache and more apps... So I can distribute the compiled code. So there IS a problem too. Maybe all people who make LGPL PHP libraries should distribute the compiled version?
The other day I was discussing this scene with a friend. The problem is that this scene has both superb acting and superb fx, that really helps... Have you noticed the difference in the pupil's width betwenn Gollum and Smegol? That helps a lot two...
Well, we have been using Kaspersky anti-virus for Unix with no problems. It has an add-on for sendmail, postfix and qmail.
Also, there is an NT version "Webinspector"...
It works really good!
Thats why we sell them here in Argentina...
Contact me for details...
Great, Great
So I want to believe that one of my deities likes human flesh.
Ok, I won't kill the first person who appears because i dont like the local jail.
But I will spread my belief that my deity wants fresh meat...
How much until we have JUST ONE murder?
Disclaimer: I am writing from Buenos Aires, Argentina, South America, so I may be a little biased, but who cares...
Yesterday I was at Expomanagement, which was running on Buenos Aires. There was a videoconference with Bill Gates and Nicholas Negroponte and all the gurues and sort like.
They point that Internet Economy is helping South America and Asia... Whow!. It is quite sad than, despite the boom, in the last four years the number of people who died from starvation GROW in US.
In South America, there is a great breach between poor and rich, and in Argentina only 400.000 people has Internet access (total pop is 35 million).
I believe that this boom will only make US richer, because they benefit from having the initial advantage... South America can't repeat Taiwanese or Japanese boom... We will only geet poorer.
The global economy will grow if and only you ppl realize than is in YOUR benefit helping Third World.

Yes, yes, I LOVE a new Xfree release and so beautiful new supported cards, BUT, when 4.0 comes out, will it have working competitors?
Please, I know you Berlin and other people are reading this, so, will I have an alternative?
