If it was developed with public money, it's a pretty good idea to let the public have access to it, especially under the GPL. This basically ensures that it'll be 100% public.
Now if they were to have deicded to charge $10,000 licensing fees (IE: License for Profit), and viciously go after anyone who used it without paying it, then I'd be questioning the legality.
The article is sad, yet true. Next generation was a very good continuation of Trek, as it had the blessing and guidance of Roddenberry, at least up until season 5. It did quite well during 6 and 7, but at least they had the mercy to end it there... DS9 was pretty good, as they weren't continually encountering "new, strange anomalies" and had an original premise, and gave stories with more continuity. They actually had SOMETHING to do with each other.
Voyager just sucks.
I suggest that it be put into hibernation for a while, let all of the old people cycle out, and wait for new writers/directors to come in.
If anything for moves, Peter David should have something to do with the next movie (note MOVIE not TV SHOW). He always did a good job with Star Trek. And that X-Men thing was well... stupid. Good thing i never read it...

And then Gameboy went color, taking lots of games with it. (the older color systems ATE batteries alive and were REALLY expensive. The technology has matured a LOT).
And it rocks, nice color, long battery life, less requried batteries (from 4 AA to 2 AA!!). Gameboy went from good to great, and popular, to popular and technically impressive. I do hope this happens to Palm (err, Handspring. I don't think 3COM has the innovative sense the old palm guys did!)
Kid owns corporation. Kid wants to make deals and generally impress the hell out of everyone. Kid can't go because PHBs think ALL people under 18 are immature, and therefore inadmissable, REGARDLESS of the fact that he's running an internet business bringing in a profit. That's just stupid.
But what does this mean if he were no longer able to be "custodian" to Microsoft? Would they simply cease? Or does he have enough "followers" to continue this practice of slash and burn?
1.) How's it "shitty"? Give me SPECIFIC examples. Aside from the fact that it probably escapes your comprehension.
Also, how is it 100% zealot? We've probably got some Windows users who moderated you down simply because you're a drooling moron with nothing better to do.
2.) I think you are most likely just a moron. Bill Gates could let m$ fly and he wouldn't care. He's set.
Think about it. You lose all rights to hold the company accountable for their faulty and bloated code.
It's not like we can hold them accountable as it is. Their noose^H^H^H^H^Hlicense holds them exempt from that. At least with Linux we have the decency to say, essentially, "Use at your own risk"
Without there being a God there could be no feelings -- no love, no hate, no nothing.
How so? These things are all in our head.
If we did evolve, I don't think we would be anything like we are today. We'd just be like gorillas or something.
We haven't been this way forever. If we were, our technology would be much farther along. Like they say, all current great apes evolved from a similar ancestor. Humans decided to go some way that made them smarter.
I do admit that there is quite a bit of evidence that seems to point to evolution, but there is certainly more that points to an intelligent creator.
What? A bunch of books written by a bunch of different cultures each describing how THEIR gods created the world? In most cases, which contradict each other (and call the others evil)?

Newton for Calculus. You can't be just some idiot and work that out. THAT was a real brain Hack.
Sorry for the messed up replies. I tried making it look organized. never again!

Beacause a comparable CE machine is clunkier (interface wise), and is more expensive.

Umm, you're confused. And it's very negligible, as I seriously doubt there would be an exposed electrical cord that ONLY he would trip over.

Geez. I'm 17. I wish I were able to consider going to Comdex

That doesn't mean Linux is crap. It just means lots of software is lacking (although this is changing).
It still doesn't make Linux garbage. It just doesn't fit what you do. Yet.
Well, prove it's garbage. What's that? YES! You'll actually have to THINK about ACTUALLY USING IT!!!
But until you do, go away. And don't come back.
You've enlightened us to nothing except your stupidity.
Must it be ALL? OR would people with a WORKING *nix partition or *nix IPMasq/Proxy setup be exempt?
No because I'd then feel sorry for whatever it was.

3.) We don't care about your sex life.
Your'e still a moron.
Also, why the HELL are you wasting your time posting nonsense? What would you be doing if you weren't doing this?
No, you're just a moron who needs to shut up.
(as you can see, no one is wasting their time on you)
Because the cost of the blank CDs would far outweigh the value of LEGAL microsoft software, IMO.

That's a hell of a good NDA. Especially since they don't immediately place lock and key on that new algorithm you may have hacked out.

You're missing something. G4 is still a 32bit PowerPC processor. Maybe you are thinking of their graphics chips, which are ATI Rage128s.
Merced == iTanium...
Anyways, they said that Linux was booting and running on Merced, and Win64 was not, coincidentally.
If I'm wrong please post additional info here so I may learn.
Be serious and name a high end chip that DOESN'T run Linux. Good Luck.
