In Erlang, variables aren't variable -- they're single assignment. (There is a process dictionary that is mutable, but it isn't usually used and other threads don't have access to it). Inter-thread communication is done via message passing (which may be local or over tcp/ip).
No.... Companies pay income tax on any profits, but sales tax is just delegation of tax collection authority to companies. Spend a couple minutes thinking it over and you'll realize that company taxes are a cost of business that are passed on (and paid for) by consumers -- something 2 presidential candidates don't seem to realize.
Of course their is money to be made! They should give away their software (GPL) and make money by paid support contracts and writing O'Reilly books.
On second thought, they should give the books away for free and make money by selling coffee cups, tshirts, and other merchandise at concerts^W developer conferences.
My first (and only) experience with debian was installing it on my ARM-based NSLU2. Red Hat, ubuntu, gentoo, etc weren't an option. Sadly, we've seen a convergence towards x86 (with gcc and linux). I'm glad debian exists. Maybe I'll chuck a couple bucks their way.
The EFF was petitioning the State of California to allow prisoners to write GPL code. internet/telephone access would be blocked, and some people (Kevin Mitnick types) wouldn't be eligible. I think California does allow some prisoners the opportunity to do programming, but the software is considered property of the State of California.
He could still write research papers/articles for linux journals/etc, of course (that's more common than you might think).
AMEN. I use TeX/LaTeX, and love the output, but...
Knuth might write a book about parsers, compilers, and programming languages? TeX should be considered a case study in things not to do. The language is a turd by any metric. "How do I..." programming questions in comp.text.tex are usually answered with "use perl/m4/cpp to preprocess it."
C: GCC is one of the worst offenders for non-standard extensions, but very few compilers are 100% compatible.
Javascript: 4 main implementations (IE, spidermonkey, webkit/kjs, and opera), plenty of small differences in the core language, lots of differences in the DOM/Event support.
PERL: only 1 implementation, never will be standardized, requires a perl parser just to parse the syntax.
GPL3 (if you're an extremist) has a huge hole known as web services (or googlization... GPL software is used with every HTTP request made to google, but the requester has no GPL rights to the software). There was a lot of discussion, but most reasonable people don't see it as a problem.
Any javascript files will be infected with GPL by using ext, but anything on the server side is unaffected. (Ok, if you're sending back javascript that makes use of ext funtionality, maybe, but for xml/json/html/data, there's no linkage).
When I had a merchant account for credit card billing, I had to close the charge batch within 48 hours and when I closed the batch I was agreeing that any physical goods would be shipped within 24 hours. They (cough, *he*) is (was) using paypal or similar, so they might have different rules.
I'll take Pg Admin3 over phpmyadmin any day of the week. With ajax, it's probably possible to write a decent db manager front end, but phpmyadmin is too clunky, IMO. [yeah, I don't like the php pg admin thing either].
Sure, you can fork it, but almost all MySQL development is done by paid MySQL engineers (or paid InnoDB engineers). I think Google might have some engineers working on it, and I think Slashdot/VA Linux/Whatever they're called now might have had 1 at one point. The GCC/EGCS fork worked because most of the developers went with the EGCS. The XFree86/X.org fork worked because most of the developers went with the X.org. Lucid probably spent 250-500k in producing the XEmacs fork. How many other big projects have successfully forked?
some states have a "use tax" where you list the amount of tax-free out-of-state purchases you made and pay sales tax on them when you file your state income taxes. (Of course, most people don't). I am aware of some states nailing people over that, though.

Aside from writing code, you also have to test it. That extra security/straightjacket can mean it works right the first time.

Sure, just as soon as you develop it.
Adobe needs to put the Flash player (as well as the Flash program itself) under the GPL license if they want to be relevant.
Say NO to Closed Source software.
The previous psystar video had horrible fain noise.

This is slashdot.
why? The *BSD userland (and man pages) are far more consistent than the hodepodge of gnu/linux utilities.

256 MB Ram, 433 MhZ processor. Windows 2000 ran fine on computers with only half those specs.

Windows CE runs on x86, ARM, MIPS, and SHx
- 266 Mhz ARM (sometimes underclocked to 133 Mhz)
- 8 Meg (?) Flash ROM
- 32 Meg RAM
I love my slug but I would prefer more ram.I think you're confused. Skype is internet telephone software, for voice data. It's free, so it's free as in speech.
