Farting and laughing about it for 20 minutes so hard that you think (and wish) you're going to die couldn't be good for you, but it sure is entertaining.
I have seen the error of my ways. You have my eternal gratitude for showing me the light (no pun intended of course). You see, sometimes it is with closed minds that we approach other intelligent and insightful viewpoints, often with the sole intention of merely causing dissent, aggravation and frustration. One could say that this might even be considered my credo. One could certainly make a good case for it.
I do hereby grant you your PhD; it is from my authority working in Area 51 AND Los Alamos that I can give you this honour. You have certainly earned it. Now please go forth and spread your wisdom to the drooling masses that inhabit this wretched little world (not that many of them deserve it).
Well we're not talking about military applications here. No shit a 100Gw UWB pulse isn't going to be good for you, neither is a 1Mw pulse from a laser. That doesn't mean the background glow from a city full of streetlights is going to burn holes in you does it? Didn't think so. Anyways, if you conflate radio transmissions with gamma ray transmissions you have already proven yourself an idiot. No PhD for you; it's grade 10 Physics all over again.
This is about radio frequencies, not fucking gamma rays. Why don't you get your hand off your dick for 5 minutes and look for some info on EM transmitters. Do you honestly believe that the same device could transmit frequencies across the ENTIRE FUCKING EM SPECTRUM?! Take a Physics 101 class and get back to me.
First of all, there is no way Microsoft can enforce conditions upon the implementation of a standard (read: "standard"). Entering into a contract requires, well, that you enter into a contract.
Secondly, this is a -- if not the -- prime example of what's wrong with the "intellectual property" faction of anti-GPL types. The GPL in no way inhibits intellectual property. It is simply a software license that imposes contractual conditions on the use of software. It is only unusual in that it does not require payment.
Here's the argument that Microsoft and other anti-GPL nutballs are making: "You're not making any money off this, so we want to steal your intellectual property, violate the hell out of your license, and make money from our criminal activities." The underlying, unstated argument is, of course, that unless you're in it for profit, you have no intellectual property rights. This is utter bullshit, of course, and serves only to show what basically unethical and indecent people we're dealing with.
This would be exactly parallel to a clothing manufacturer telling people that they have established a pattern for shirts with two sleeves, and you are therefore not allowed to make shirts with two sleeves unless you promise not to donate your old shirts to the poor.
It's a pity that certain political factions like to lionize Microsoft as bastions of capitalism when Microsoft is itself devoted to strangling the free market at every turn. If Microsoft is as good as they say they are, why are they so afraid of competing in an open and fair market? Why have they adopted such a deeply un-American stance towards the fundamental values of political and economic liberty? Ballmer can spew all he wants about the GPL being communist, but as near as I can tell, it is Microsoft that is seeking to create a command economy.
Many manufacturers of NAS (Network Attached Storage) use GPLed OS that have been modified or reduced to their basic components to NAS appliances. I have seen many instances of Linux NAS devices, BSD NAS devices, and yes, NAS devices bases on Windows 2000 for appliances.
A little background:
A NAS device is an appliance dedicated to providing storage on the IP network. It's basically a stripped standard server with ease-of-use features added, and form-fitted into a smaller box. Extremely easy to set up, extremely easy to use.
Companies that make them:
Quantum Snap! www.quantum.com Maxtor www.maxtor.com Network Appliance www.netapp.com IOMEGA www.iomega.com Blue Arc www.bluearc.com and the list goes on and on.
They all provide CIFS and NFS shares, some of the also provide Apple shares, and Novell shares. The point here is that many of them are based on GPLed OS. While their final product may be commercial, this development may restrict their use of CIFS. These products RELY on CIFS. Frankly this may be a ploy by Microsoft to sell more copies of Windows 2000 for Appliances, and take a heavy swipe at the Open Source community.
If NAS vendors can't use CIFS, and the latest CIFS has changed to mess up connectivity, they are dead in two years, as the OS upgrades catch up.
If there is a somebody who could clear that up a bit, that would be great.
I, for one, hope that continued compatibility for the CIFS standard continues in the Samba package. For Linux to lose that functionality, it would kill a lot of possible server implementations.

Congratulations Mr. K1ng. Your mad first posting skills are an inspiration to us all.

Is when I can't find a serial/patch on any cracks sites.
Strictly, there's nothing stopping UWB from operating in the gamma regions.

That's the sound of any credibility you had left going down the toilet.

Don't forget the indestructible passport.

How's the weather in Montana?
Shouldn't you be outside playing with your guns?

This has some far reaching effects.

That still doesn't excuse the fucktard's shitty grammar.
