  1. boycott iso! on ISO Recommends Denying OOXML Appeals · · Score: 5, Funny

    I think we need to teach these cocksuckers a lesson. Let's boycott ISO and all ISO standards. Hopefully, it will be as successful as our amazon boycott!!

    That linus torvaldes guy isn't selling linux, so I guess that should be public domain as well?

  3. Re:Linux needs system-wide color management on Linux Alternatives To Apple's Aperture · · Score: 1

    GNUStep's is ahead of the pack here, since OpenStep included color management. Obviously, it needs work to get up to Apple quality, and some of that depends on X.org, but the foundation is there today, whereas gnome color support will be an attrocious hack if it's ever added.

    I'm wondering why they'd go with pcc over llvm. llvm is under a BSD-like license and actively being developed (by Apple as well as others).

    • 1989: GPL v1 released (based on emacs, gdb, gcc licenses)
    • 1991: Linux released
    • 1992(?): Linux put under GPL.

    Anyhow, many of the utilities were from the 1987--1992 time frame, some were earlier and ported to minix.

  15. Re:Too far on Stallman Attacks Gates, Microsoft, & Charity Foundation · · Score: 1

    Yes... Early linux was influenced by minix, not HURD, and used the minix userland, not GNU. Minix utilities often had oddball licenses (like no distribution of modified copies), but they would eventually be relicensed under the Linux Public License, rewritten, or replaced with BSD versions.

    The rule doesn't just check the usear agent, it also checks for a missing Accept-Encoding header.

  17. Re:Perhaps the way to other things besides compile on Using AI With GCC to Speed Up Mobile Design · · Score: 1

    OS X is using LLVM/JIT for their OpenGL stack. LLVM will probably have an increased presence in the future (Grand Central, OpenCL, and eventually replacing GCC with LLVM-GCC). Maybe someday, "Universal Binary" will mean LLVM bytecode.

  23. Re:Total ignorance of economics? on Supplies of Rare Earth Elements Exhausted By 2017 · · Score: 1
    As the demand exceeds the supply, suppliers will charge more. Buyers will either pay more, use less, or find alternatives. High prices will encourage capitalists to invest money in finding alternatives, new sources, increasing yield, etc.

    The only thing that will prevent that from happening is government intervention (oh noes! Big Gallium (tm) is price gouging!)

    1) The BSD license has a disclaimer of warranty, whereas public domain doesn't.

    2) The intentions are clear and well recognized. With some code, it's not quite clear what license (if any) it's under, restrictions, where it's from, etc.
