Those who believe in freedom, the right to innovate, and that covers everything from the long haired hippie to the smooth cut executive. The world of computers is by and large a totally NON external one, while our internal thought proccess might manifest themselves externally, one must remember, looks and location are MEANINGLESS here. All that matters is what you say and do, my actions and my words speak for me as they do all of us. Who are we? We are who we are.
I currently work for a consulting firm, in the contract it states that you cannot be hired by the company you are being contracted to for 180 days prior to the end of the contract, don't know if it's the exact same thing as what's being disussed here, but how are these things enforceable? That's like denying you're right to quit a job, it ain't going to happen, these things can not be that easy for coperations to enforce, and then they would have to want to deal with the courts and the costs, would it be worth it? Isn't this a basic non issue from the start? Honestly, have you ever heard of anyone being "blacklisted" or anything because of this?
Caldera = Apple Red Hat = MicroSoft Slackware = Unix
Of course the real discussion is AT&T vs. BSD isn't it? I mean, that's why i perfer Slackware, it's BSD style, whereas Red Hat is a "broken" AT&T ( and if anyone wants to know what i mean by broken try using some switches in cpio, tar, and ps ). Ah who cares, past the penquin and the beer, keep it rolling, let it go, if you don't like it, use something else.
Okay IDG, come get me, PLEASE. How can any single company hope to copyright * for Dummies, isn't there ANY laws against that? They can only own the copyrights for phrases/they've/ used correct? Not ones they haven't. Please tell me i'm correct or i'm going to go out and copyright A* B* C* D* E* F* G* H* I* J* K* L* M* N* O* P* Q* R* S* T* U* V* W* X* Y* and Z*; then i'll own the copyright to every word in the Anglo world! Seriously though, can they even hope to get away with this?
Did anybody see the article in "Time Digital" about the death of the Amiga? They compared it to the death of the Apple Newton and had a nice little blurb about the Newton fanatics in the parking lot protesting being fed and "patted on the head" but Apple people. Also, for my own part, i did think the Amiga was waaay ahead of it's time, and it's time should be now, so it's kinda sad to see something so....in tune with the culture to die out, Linux on an Amiga, how much more...unmainstream can you get?
