I remember the old licenses (XT, AT, Apple II, Commodore, etc) said that you could make copies so long as no two copies were used at once. Granted, that was before installable software.
Is that part of copyright law, or would the backup copy be the second one? Does a backup have to be of the distributed medium or can it be a backup of the installation tree?
the United States of America just switched to an electronic voting system.
In an unrelated matter, Bill Gates is now President despite not even being present on the ballot or this being an election year. George Bush was called a "sore loser" by the media; why can't he just accept that the recount clearly shows Gates ahead by 8 million votes?
IMHO, most documentation is either woefully incompletely or woefully too detailed. Newbs would best get help through IRC if we didn't just tell them to read the fuckin manual.
Maybe we should restructure the How-To, man, and info documentation into skill levels such as lameass, newbie, user, admin, and developer. Maybe beginners wouled be more likely to RTFM if they didn't have to read all of it?

It also "just works", but without the long install process.
Just out of curiousity, does emerger also upgrade? If I was upgrading MySQL, would I have to uninstall it first and live without it while recompiling? This sounds rather wasteful...
X11 is a protocol, not a specific server. It doesn't have to use so much memory, have un-crisp typography, or any of that shit.
It would also be easy to change the virtual video ratio, so that software can assume the screen is bigger than it really is. This would allow much to just recompiled, without having to deal with the smaller screen.
The software allows people to exercise their right to make a backup copy of digital media; that's fair use. The MPAA likes to sell multiple copies of fragile media.

I can't seem to remember if anyone in The Golden Compass trilogy had a penguin for a daemon, though I suspect Linux has been ported the alethiometer platform.
would this cover checking ePhil.com and then ePhil.net? Does GoDaddy violate this patent? They offer other domains with the same 2ld and a different 1ld to buyers.
Slashdot Mirror
had a M$ enabled backdoor and was limited to 640kb of ram IIRC. Windos 5 never got such a backdoor, though NT5's upgrade policy is similar.
I'll be distributing a program for many platforms, and a feature of the program's disc is that it can boot Linux to run the app.
1. I am using a stock SELinux 2.4.20 kernel, do I need to redistribute the source?
1a. Would a kernel configuration be acceptable?
2. Most of the apps included for Linux bootability are also stock, do I need to redistribute their source?
A growing number of boxes these days are behind routers or using winmodems, neither of which is easily supported by the limited space on a BIOS chip.
:-)
Then again, thieves are more likely to steal a dedicated T1 line on a BIOS-supported ethernet card than the rest of us

I meant to say billion, the Earth's population.
One moment you're using a line printer as a dumb terminal with the paper feeding into a black hole, and then you pretend that it was the rest of us.

How can anything come without a warranty!? What if it marks an electronic greeting card as spam! I'd have no one to sue!
I tried making a joke about this in the open music license article yesterday, but moderators took it seriously. THIS IS A SARCASTIC JOKE.
I was expressing views on docs in general; more documentation is always better when we have tools such as google to look through them.

is that coders can take a joke.
I have a 500mhz G3 iBook2. Aside from video access, it runs realtime. Hell, I've even used Bryce in it! Just try that with VMWare.
It could be that I run OS 9 in mol and OS X doesn't like the slower graphics functions.
On a sidenote, Amigas can also do this, as can Briqs. The mentioned system is not the first.
do you have a mouse and k/b for your x-box? I doubt I could survive w/out the precision of a mouse or the reactions of a keyboard.
I tried once, and broke the stick of a joystick from trying to move "that much faster". A grove was well worn into the front bumber as well.
It also "just works", but without the long install process.

If they but a few bubbles between the label and the disc itself, the thing would destruct in a vacuum.
Maybe an unreactive gas rather than a vacuum? Wouldn't that be easier?
if you'd stop passing out on it.

and hope they don't think that's a pokiemon.
a book isn't very compressed. They typesize, compared to that of a dvd, is gigantic. It also has a protective cover built in.
If you scratch the entire top and bottom of a book, you lose nothing. If you scratch the entire top or bottom of a disc, you're screwed.
Could they make nanites like the worms in futurama, or do I have to eat the special sauce at a space diner?
I just wish DZ had gotten further off the ground nearly as much as I wish OZ or the Sharp rom were based upon X11.
Anyways, OpenZaurus is so far ahead of the Sharp rom that I won't even bother with this new version.

or maybe a daemon's?
