After spending the day trying to figure out how to port a JBoss (LGPL) application to WebSphere (IBM closed source) all of a sudden I have no simpathy left for these closed source entities. They can fight each other, they can pretend to be on our side but they still remain the same old themselves.
Many people describe experinces going from non free to free and say it's not all that rosy. I can assure you that going the other way is a lot worse. Gives you a new feeling of what the FSF stands for.
As the companies are consolidating we are approaching a world where we will be free to choose only between Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola in an IT sort of way.
Now all I have to do is persuade the scientist to lend me a bunch of cash that I will return to him personally with a substantial interest in only 200 years from now.
I'm suprised that after all this posts there's no mention of Satellite Vodka, the cheapest way to put yourself into orbit.
For basic ingredients you need human excrement and an old winter coat, the type used by building site workers, convicts and the military in Eastern Europe.
Usually the crap was collected in a hole in the ground. Put the coat in and let it rot for a few weeks. The process makes the polyethilene in the coat padding decompose into etylic alcohol. You can then collect it from the surface. Some filter it afterwards.
On building sites they used to use a porcelain toilet seat that was plugged and filled.
I dare you get a cheaper recipee than this.
Do you seek to enter the United States to engage in export control violations, subversive or terrorist activities, or any other unlawful purpose?
What is the sense in this? It asks you to declare your intention of doing criminal acts.
Strangely enough the movie The Hamburg Cell showed the 9/11 guys thinking hard before ticking No on this question.
RELIGIOUS FERVOR. Bright as it is, the future of commercial open source might be considerably brighter if Linux and other programs went to a more commerce-friendly license with fewer complexities and ambiguities than the GPL.
GPL has nothing to do with religion. Let's burn the heretic!
Not only you will be required to permanently document your traveling but you will also have to declare to the police every friend or relative that visits you.
At the end of a journey you will have to file a report describing any suspicious parts of conversation that you overheard while on the plane. That report will be compared with reports from other passengers to see if you deliberately missed anything.
You will not be allowed to speak to foreigners.
Terrorist attacks will cease to happen. The news will only report limited information about some really bad accidents always blamed on human error.
And on the birthday of comrade Staline you won't have to go to work, you'll just watch the parade. Oh, wait...
Oh - and as for the film score, one of the main musical themes was actually a famous piece of music played backwards. I wish I could recall what the original was.
It was part of the byzantine liturgy (mass) in Romanian. This is the fragment used in the film:
"Inca ne rugam pentru mila, viata, pacea, sanatatea, mintuirea, cercetarea, lasarea si iertarea pacatelor robilor lui Dumnezeu, inchinatori, miluitori si binefacatori ai sfintului lacasului acestuia. Zis-a Domnul catre ucenicii Sai: Porunca noua dau voua."

You are lucky to get emails with screenshot images. I get emails with MS Word documents that contain pasted screenshot images. That is when I don't get them by fax.

How much is $9.1 billion going to be worth in 2008 compared with today's money?
You forgot to tell us what makes gravity work.

We would get Regular visits from the SS
Could you please explain why the Schutz Staffel would pay you visits at all? I thought I shot them all down in Castle Wolfenstein years ago.Because the VW has the torque at 1500 rpm, its going to leave the mazda at the stoplight.
The VW being a diesel will have some lag when starting at the stoplight. So the Mazda will win there.I'm suprised that after all this posts there's no mention of Satellite Vodka, the cheapest way to put yourself into orbit.

Music can be split into 10 categories: music you like and music you don't like.
All other metadata is redundant.

It takes energy to produce hydrogen. Currently more energy goes into making hydrogen than is produced.
So that's why my Perpetuum Mobile keeps on stopping!You are lucky to get emails with screenshot images. I get emails with MS Word documents that contain pasted screenshot images. That is when I don't get them by fax.
There's lots of fiction in programming books only it's labeled: 'hard facts with practical examples'.
