I agree. The API design is very clean. And it's cross platform in a meaningful way. QT, KDE, GNOME, GTK, GDK, etc are free, but there's only one implementation. There is a published OpenStep specification. It's been implemented in OpenStep, Solaris, Windows NT, Cocoa/OS X, GNUStep, Etoile, and cocotron. I think there were also some private implementation used to port commercial OpenStep programs to Windows.
Copyright? No. Trademark? Yes. But you need to have a registered trademark, then you need to dispute to with ICANN, which costs $5000 or so (plus your lawyer fees), which means it's cheaper to buy it from a squatter (or not let it expire in the first place).
not true. A lot of it is paperwork compliance. Like installing Photoshop on 1 computer. The graphic designed gets a new computer and the old one is sent to a different department without uninstalling. If you're a big company with site licenses and an IT staff that reimages computers daily, no problem. If you're a small business, oops.
What could possibly go wrong? Well, the RIAA members wants to kill Apple. (They also want a license fee for every iPod sold because they're used for piracy. MS caved in on the zune). If iTMS and their $0.99 a song model is destroyed, you can bet that they'll cancel their contracts with amazon, raise the prices significantly, or insist on DRM laden WMA (at a higher price, of course).
Correction: iTunes+ songs are currently $0.99 -- they dropped the price after Amazon opened their MP3 store. I don't know if they still charge for the the upgrade.
Someone from IBM tips this article on their Developerworks site about Grails, a modern Web development framework that mixes familiar Java technologies like Spring and Hibernate.
"Grails gives you the development experience of Ruby on Rails while being firmly grounded in proven Java technologies. This article show you how to build your first Grails application with the lessons learned from Rails and the sensibilities of modern Java development."
Oracle isn't written in java, yet they allow java stored procedures. SQL Server isn't written in VB.NET, yet they allow VB.NET stored procedures. Postgresql isn't written in perl, yet they allow perl stored procedures.
Now imagine if Sun started shipping fully supported SAMP (Solaris Apache MySQL PHP) software distributions branded with "High Performance*, 64-bit Sun MySQL".
Needs more java
SAMJ - Solaris/Apache/MySQL/JSP. And it sounds an awfully lot like Sanjay, the guy who will be doing your job when it's outsourced.
Microsoft was paid for writing some code. So was I. You seem to imply that since Microsoft wrote some of the code, it can't be given away because you would be violating their intellectual property. If I follow your logic, the projects I wrote can't be open sourced without my permission? I don't think so. I was paid to write, so I received my money for the job. That's where my rights on that source end.

1) getting first post isn't that hard. They tell you a new story is coming up. Reload every 2-3 minutes and you've got yourself a first post. Hell, I accidentally get a first post 2-3 times a week when I've got nothing else to do. A perl script and a handful of proxies could get first post all day long.
2) subscribers can't post comments (anonymous or otherwise) until the story is opened to everyone. You can read the article and write up a comment, but you can't post it and you don't have a timer to know when the article will actually be posted.
I like watching free shows at hulu. But I can see how getting paid $4 a show would be better than being paid $0 a show. Did it take NBC 6 months to figure that out?
Disclaimer: none of the shows I like to watch are on NBC (though USA has some that I approve of).
1) *BSD isn't encumbered by politics (or at leat the same set of politics). ZFS will be a part of FreeBSD while goldilocks and the 3 hippies argue over whether it's too FREE or not FREE enough.
2) They don't appeal to the same segment of computer users. "Linux is for people that hate windows. BSD is for people that love UNIX". If you look at the commandline utilites, BSD distros maintain them, they're consistent, and the man pages are up to date. Linux distros are a hodgepodge from various sources. It's a good thing they're open source because the man page is probably non existant or hopelessly out of date.
3) Considering there are 4 BSDs (Open, Free, Net, and Draogfly) it seems unlikely core developers would rather be developing linux.
It's not a technical problem preventing linux usage so much as a political problem and a license problem. Unless this convinces those zealots that 1) FUSE isn't good enough and 2) CDDL is FREE, it won't do jack shit for linux.
What about Jamie? She went to court with the facts against her, she intentionally turned over the wrong drive to investigators, and her defense consisted of "I didn't do it". Result -> the first RIAA jury win. There are dozens (maybe hundreds) of people wrongly targeted by the RIAA, but that selfish bitch made it harder for everyone.

So how do I use Mach IPC in windows? Mach IPC and Mach messaging are the basis for much of the communication in Mac OS X

funniest of all, the only new union growth is in government employees.
Nobody claims that moons forming via collision is a common occurrence.
Ajax/DHMTL/Javascript is nice when it degrades gracefully. It's poor design when it doesn't.
end users still have access to the source code for the LGPL parts and any modifications to the LGPL parts must be made available.

I think the best introduction is the screencast where the guy overwrites his disk from /dev/random and zfs keeps on trucking.

ZFS is also available in FreeBSD 7 and OpenSolaris (which should be the most stablest of all).

But yeah, this clown was almost as bad.
