My personal favorite is news.google.com... I get to read a lot of newpapers both inside and outside the US.
It gets funny, too, when you see opposing biases. Case in point: There was some international agreement signed a couple of years back. While a pro-tobacco paper claimed Bush had strengthened it, an anti-tobacco paper claimed he had weakened it.
I'm not sure how any American president will get more than one term in office without becoming a show-man.
Oh, there's plenty of dark fiber around. It usually gets there when telecom companies upgrade to a newer model. (I.e. The company doesn't want to spend the money to maintain their OC-3 connection when they just put in an OC-12. Too much maintenance and too many routing issues to track.
But you have to realize a few things. First, the failure of a mysql/PHP system just shows that their coder isn't all that great. Second, that you can get to see that error at all shows that their pipe (and the box proper) is holding up just fine.
Hold on a second. The EFF and FSF are about making things better for the consumer. They're also about opposing new restrictions on copyrighted work. That doesn't mean they want "everything" to be free.
If you had a low-overhead system, I'm sure a "paid-for by advertisement" website that performed in the role of the old mp3.com would be perfectly viable. In fact, I'd try to keep it privately held so as to prevent the volatilies of investor opinion from influencing the owner's policies.
An even better idea would be a paid-for-by-advertising p2p system that compensated copyright holders for trafficked data.
So the first time they compiled and ran it, it didn't work. That doesn't mean it won't work when someone looks at the business model, applies patches, and tries to run it again.
For now, the lesson to the artist is don't depend on getting all of your income from a single source. Especially if that source is still experimental.
Not everyone who follows the FSF belittles everyone trying to charge for thought. Some of them actually go out and try to come up with a way where the producers can still make a living, while the consumers have convient access.
Like all the different ways that have been mentioned to compensate artists for work downloaed from peer to peer networks. Or like the premise behind MP3.com (free downloads, and the artists get paid.)
Neither company wants to release their own IP into an open source project. However, IBM providing the manpower, with Sun providing the specs, is a good combination for a new product.
It benefits Sun because A) it keeps Free Software advocates off their backs, and B) it promotes the continuance of Java, a flagship product, and one of the ways they as a company become known to many others.
It benefits IBM because it A) improves their image with the free software community, B) helps keep them in a leadership position for corporate attitude towards open source, C) it keeps investor opinion high.
I should clarify. Risperdal is the primary medication that keeps me from becoming suicidal. It prevents me from getting easily agitated, so those little stress points don't build up.
On second thought, such a major backlash by the OSS community could absolutely destroy SCO's offerings, giving the impression that OSS software is dangerous to use as a core supplement to your products.
Mmm. Samba, PHP, Mozilla, Apache, XFree86. The last two may just do that in order to draw attention away from licensing issues. (Or to show we're all still in the same boat. However you want to interperet it.)
Maybe Perl too, but I'm not well versed on the Perl license or the Artistic License.
Well, an artist is probably going to make more regardless, and the *AAs are probably going to make less.
However, corporate tropophobia aside, their likelyhood of embracing the system depends on who they think their biggest audience is. If they think that the bulk of their income comes from impulsive buyers who get three albums a month, then they're not likely to embrace the subscription plan. If they think that their average customer spends less than $5 a month as it stands, then they might go for it.
Personally, it feels like a protection racket to me.

My parents have a couple of monster typewriters from (I'd guess) somewbere between 1890 and 1920. The sleek design concept hadn't hit yet.
They must sixty pounds each, with just enough sharp edges on the bottom to make carrying painful. And they're on the top shelf.
Just a suggestion...see if those apps are well supported first. Some stuff works, some stuff doesn't. Stars! still works though, so I'm happy. :)
So the DMCA will apply as a proof-of-negligence device?
That will have enough implications to cause a severe backlash.
Sounds like Linux Journal would be a good target. Remember, they challenged SCO in the middle of last year.

My brother's at NNTC. What'd you do?
At the end there, I began expecting to have children with my testing software. (I'm certainly not likely to have children any other way...)

Yeah, yeah, obvious sarcasm.

Because it begins and ends in buildings owned/leased by the Baby Bells? You're not going to save much, paying what they'll charge.
In Perl,
open(PERLYGATES) and die("Trying\n");
would only die if it managed to open the PERLYGATES. (Which should be "Pearly Gates" in proper literary context.) A good way to plan your existance.

Unless the vehicles are autonomous or sealed, the weapons ought to be effective.
Personally, I find MSDS sheets somewhat silly.
I work in a college computer lab, and the MSDS book for my department is about fifty feet from me. I can see it from where I'm sitting.
However, it's so chock full of material, I'll never have the time (nor the inclination) to go through all the sheets.

I don't think IP is likely to be shared. At least, not early on.
However, as an open source project, you can apply more coders than just IBM's and Sun's.

Maybe it's changed the way my neural system works, but I'd be dead without the Risperdal I've been taking since I was 11 or 12.
I've been having those kind of "I'm feeling old" attacks since I was 16. And I'm only 20 now.
