I hope they're clear on patent binaries versus patented source.
I don't know why patent binaries haven't caught on more, and maybe someone can fill me in... but don't you think copyrighted source and patented binaries would be a good idea?
I mean you have your source that is artistic, but there's nothing artistic about binaries. Typically, they're just functional... more akin to something that would be patentable.
If you're still reading the website, then obviously they've got something you want. If you think this website is so shoddy, hurt them where it counts... stop coming and giving ad impression dollars to the editors. Otherwise, you just sound like you're bitching.
I don't know about your organization, but in mine we use Novell Groupwise. To my knowledge (i'm a graphic artist, not a IT guy) groupwise doesn't support html email. I have to go to the netmail version (web based) to view the HTML email.
Just a thought, that if you run groupwise, you probably shouldn't send out PURE html. Send out a mixed one.
Not responding positivly to such a terrible demand is one thing, but to take the approach of the parent:
"You never want to work there or for that boss again, so go nuts with it. Tell them to eat you. They did the same thing during your time there and with this request. If you already have other things lined out don't even give the boss two weeks (unless you have accrued vacation, then take that for pay). If they say anything other than "rehirable" to a future employer sue them (hehe, ok that may be going overboard."
So... i'm against MS as much as every other *nix lover out there, but how do you reasonably define a monopoly?
Verichat, a well known app for palmos and blackberry handhelds, might be getting undercut by t-mobile when t=mo releases updates for the blackberry. Essentially, they'd be doing a similar thing to bundling software. That is anti-competitive... isn't it? So how is a company able to bundle software? Are there a set of "ethical" bundling practices established?
I'm not trolling, or even being sarcastic, but as I was thinking about this, I didn't understand how anyone can logically bundle software without running into these anti-competitve issues.
with what video editor? If i could find a motion graphics program (not shake, but more like after effects) that would work in linux, a video editor that was professional grade (ie final cut pro, or even premiere pro) and run effectievly in linux, you could sign me up.
until then, i'm going to stick with osx/xp. (osx for work, xp for home)
Wouldn't a liscence benefit some developers that is akin to a patent? You GPL your source, but then patent your binaries? That way, your binaries are still protected intelectual property, resalable, for a few years, and then are freely distributable?
I think about 7 year old software, and some of it I could still use, and not have any piracy guilt. If i could get my hands on an older copy of After Effects, or any other 7 year old adobe product, i'd be set, and legal!
I spelled his name wrong, because i didn't want to get modded into oblivion, but i think micheal's posts are getting more and more lame. That last story said how effective it was, and in my experience it is effective (plus systray bloat).

I use a blackberry for college, and it works great. 7230 is $100 on ebay.
A positive leap second will be introduced at the end of December 2005.
The sequence of dates of the UTC second markers will be:
2005 December 31, 23h 59m 59s
2005 December 31, 23h 59m 60s
2006 January 1, 0h 0m 0s
Actually, its 12:00:00 then another 12:00:00.
Shouldn't the time be 12:01? If the first second of 1/1/06 is going to be doubled, like TFA says...

that was a joke.... but interesting never the less.
Thats why I still run BeOS with a complete lack of application support! Every app is fully threaded... so might as well run fewer of them!
Super mario universe anyone?

To me it sounds like a case of, "lets try out the cool new tech." I say give it a few years, and voter apathy will return.
dont you remember in school, going out for recess and being blinded? or vice versa? Thats all ambient light, unless you're staring in to the sun.
remember those keyboard covers? I bet those would be easier to steralize than others (ie wash it every day, etc)
Basically, the submitter was saying that domain squatting is ok.
Is it?
thats another thing entirely.

yeah, i'm flamebait....
actually i was saying how cool beos was.
just because theres caps doesn't mean its flamebait.
thanks mods.
Anynone remember BeOS? COMPLETLEY MULTITHREADED!!! It would definetly kick ass to run it on a HT chip, or any SMP setup.
with what video editor? If i could find a motion graphics program (not shake, but more like after effects) that would work in linux, a video editor that was professional grade (ie final cut pro, or even premiere pro) and run effectievly in linux, you could sign me up.

Submitter!!! YOU SUCK!!!
Engadget is a 'gadget' site, not a gaming site.
Slashdot: this is old news.
why were the television patents granted to filo t farnsworth for only 7 years then? Has patent law changd?
(i truly don't undestand the topic, but its always been a thought of mine)

so pricewatch me a system. Let me know how that turns out in mini itx.
I'm becoming more and more of a mac fan everyday. I think jobs strategy of almost 'dumping' this mac will workout to gain marketshare.
