Well its pretty obvious "why do they release this statement?" If they dont ppl avoid SElinux, but now people wont really avoid it.. and once it becomes common they can actually hold ppl to ransom.
This is called corporate skills. This is what is taught in a B'School. I have friends from B'school and they tell me ethics are passe do anything to get marketshare!
So its pretty simple here, and i wont be using it unless those patens vanish *sigh*
When laws get opressing this is what a person who values freedom does.
The cost of freedom is high and this is what this will show. People who do not appreciate freedom dont really deserve it. Bruce wants to be free... and he dosent mind going to jail for it.
If somebody makes a law in your hometown that forbids you to reheat a particular brand of pizza wont you be up in arms.
This is not really out of context...The DVD is a particular brand of DATA you bought, you wanted to see it so you bought it...If DMCA wants to tell you how to eat your pizza..... thats pretty questionable
PPl may argue that it is tu curb Piracy... but does it. Only the avg chap who bought his fab movie for 20$$ cant see it, the pirater sits in his basement and makes a million VCD's out of it.
The lawmakers know that changing the law to make it sensible will increase the effort for lawkeepers... but if they dont want the extra effort in catching the thief why do you pay your bills and taxes... if they want to assume all citizens are thiefs until proven innocent they will get honest citizens actually acting like theifs.
To boil it down it all comes down to the ideology. Bruce has chosen freedom and he is willing to go to jail. If you are willing to sit and let them take away your freedom atleast dont insult someone who is putting up a fight atleast
Perens admits, "what happened to Dmitry could conceivably happen to me as well." However, he said he is willing to take the risk.
Thats a spirit... or is it? If he gets arrested and then jailed nothing would have been accomplished. Only if Lawyers can get him off the hook after he's done this, then it will be a victory.
But something tells me thats is being too optimist...such things happen in fairy tales.. or maybe i am too paranoid.. given the situation.
But every law has a loophole... and the day somebody finds it in here... we can all go home:-)
a different type of clue. When somebody is lost you give a clue, In case of BSA like entities you take the clue, stick it on the Baseball Bat and whack it hard on the thick head, if you are very lucky the clue will go inside, if you are just lucky then you will be successful in breaking the head.
But if you are unlucky, and bat comes rebounding at you and you will be sued becoz of encouraging terrorism in the digital world:-)
I would like to see better flash support, a better java, and more speed(i dunno aout linux but on my solaris it is slow:-( ).

well you are worng in a way. The forbes market wants to make money, and they will go to any extent to do it.
I work in a company that does not have anything to do with OS's etc and many sections were using proprietry software.. but in current scenario, though we are till pretty comfortable, managers are looking at linux farms for computing needs and servers, and 3 years from now this would have been unthinkable.
Another misconception is that business houses run away from open source. This is not entierly true. Of course most of staff in such companies breaths on proprietry office solutions, and this will remain the case for a long time to come.
but look at the brighter side.. server share is growing and growing. And if you want to check what is forbes running on here it is... and yes its apache:-)

well so t seems. Though till now it was a geek geek thing, linux users were a bunchof social outcasts and what not.. finally we have THE FORBES taking interest.
This had to happen someday. After all the business community wants to mae money, and in a slowdown scenario like now linux makes sense.
To some extent slowdown has been a blessing in disguise with cash strapped managers wanting to take the buck an extra mile.
This is definately a first and really a great achievement... and the goal now is to sustain linux rather that develop!

I got an interesting piece from plig. This was written as a humorous story but it may come true;-)
General Motors doesn't have a "help line" for people who don't know how to
drive, because people don't buy cars like they buy computers - - but
imagine if they did... HELPLINE: "General Motors Helpline, how can I help you?" CUSTOMER: "I got in my car and closed the door, and nothing happened!" HELPLINE: "Did you put the key in the ignition slot and turn it?" CUSTOMER: "What's an ignition?" HELPLINE: "It's a starter motor that draws current from your battery and
turns over the engine." CUSTOMER: "Ignition? Motor? Battery? Engine? How come I have to know
all of these technical terms just to use my car?"
HELPLINE: "General Motors Helpline, how can I help you?" CUSTOMER: "My car ran fine for a week, and now it won't go anywhere!" HELPLINE: "Is the gas tank empty?" CUSTOMER: "Huh? How do I know!?" HELPLINE: "There's a little gauge on the front panel, with a needle, and
markings from 'E' to 'F.' Where is the needle pointing?" CUSTOMER: "It's pointing to 'E.' What does that mean?" HELPLINE: "It means that you have to visit a gasoline vendor, and
purchase some more gasoline. You can install it yourself, or pay the vendor to
install it for you." CUSTOMER: "What!? I paid $12,000.00 for this car! Now you tell me that
I have to keep buying more components? I want a car that comes with
everything built in!"
HELPLINE: "General Motors Helpline, how can I help you?" CUSTOMER: "Your cars suck!" HELPLINE: "What's wrong?" CUSTOMER: "It crashed, that's what went wrong!" HELPLINE: "What were you doing?" CUSTOMER: "I wanted to run faster, so I pushed the accelerator pedal all
the way to the floor. It worked for a while, and then it crashed
-- and now it won't start!" HELPLINE: "It's your responsibility if you misuse the product. What do
you expect us to do about it?" CUSTOMER: "I want you to send me one of the latest versions that doesn't
crash anymore!"
HELPLINE: "General Motors Helpline, how can I help you?" CUSTOMER: "Hi! I just bought my first car, and I chose your car because
it has automatic transmission, cruise control, power steering, power brakes,
and power door locks." HELPLINE: "Thanks for buying our car. How can I help you?" CUSTOMER: "How do I work it?" HELPLINE: "Do you know how to drive?" CUSTOMER: "Do I know how to what?" HELPLINE: "Do you know how to DRIVE?" CUSTOMER: "I'm not a technical person! I just want to go places in my
car!"
that life on earth was actually a programmed thing. Its clearly given in the Hitch Hikers Guide to the galaxy that Mice wanted the answer or rather the question to the ultimate question, and it was then that the Magratheans created planet earth and humans and all.
So the question of wether intellegent life exist or not does not exist! Sop arguing.
I belong to the same sity as the simputer, and have been in touch with the progress.
Firstly i think a lot of slashdotters are confusing the meaning of third world countries.
A third world does country like india does not mean that everybody lives barefoot and goes hungry.
Basically the concept here is that for the middle class ie people haveing one car 2 kids who goto school and comfortable life *cannot* afford PDA's because when we convert Dollers to Rupees 1000 Dollars menas 50000 Rs.
In India somebody earning 50000 Rs/pm is in the upper class.
So currently not only for poor even for middle class and cooperative societies that is steep.
The $200 simputer will basically enable cooprative societies to manage their records, order stuff etc.
Currently in some places, in the rural areas the internet is used to send request to companies to order products
For example in a village in andhra when the farmers have a sufficent quantity of milk they send a email that the vehicle can come and pick up the stocks. This is a very rudimentry examply
cheap computer will enable such things on a larger scale.
Also it will benifit students who have the basic necessities but cannot afford such things.
This is a small step. Maybe this will lead to cheaper computing that will be good for all, developed or underdeveloped
We never learn i guess. This monoply will again lead to antitrust cases mebbe 10 yesrs from now.. and by then, the states may be powerless to stop anything
To get even better performance, all you have to do is rig up a high ESR, extremely high capacity capaciter. This will give a multi fire gun, everytime the low ESR caps fire, you will have to high capacity dude charging these again, and most high caacity caps can provide much faster charging tht batteries:-)

FUD. Plain FUD. The license as the statement says covers an onlder version. So it will not really affect the development , atleast thats why i inferred, correct me if I am wrong.
