What kind of UNIX user would be caught dead using such ancient, PC-originated technology (and I use that term loosely) as a file extension?
It's bad enough that they'll be shunned by all their intercal-coding, 8-way-server-owning, Sun cabal member friends, but now their distant cousin's computer get pwned? Talk about kicking them while they're down.
This is real news. I'm watching it on tv now, though there's no mention of NT or CE integration.
Turn on CSPAN if you don't believe me. Apparently the fifth cousin of an FBI detective that knew about 9/11 a few seconds before the first impact is homeless, and we suspect they're manufacturing WMD in secret rather than feed their own people.
Is one line to sync from Linux, or Solaris in my case, to the pda really that difficult? The entire point of a Linux pda is that it's just a small computer; what works for a Linux server works for a Linux pda.
Open sourcing Java would allow more updates of Java on the less common platforms. Imagine having a full J2DK 1.4 on your Zaurus, or the unix-ish J2DK within Cygwin. Currently neither is available, but both would be within a few months at no cost to Sun if Java was open sourced.
Even if not GPLed, it'd be worthwhile to Sun to half-ass an opensourcing of Java. Make it so that no one but Sun may distribute it for profit, but anyone may modify and recontribute changes to Sun. People will complain, but no more so than with Apple's license.
Obviously switching is a great solution, but sometimes you don't have time for that. Microsoft realized this, and built some hidden bugs into Exchange server.
At my first job, I physically assaulted the Exchange server due to one of those bugs. We went an entire week without any new virus infections.
Jesus said, "If those who lead you (plur.) say to you, 'See, the kingdom is in heaven,' then the birds of heaven will precede you. If they say to you, 'It is in the sea,' then the fish will precede you. But the kingdom is inside of you. And it is outside of you...."
If NASA says the kingdom is in outer space, then the space aliens will precede us.
I ran a Gameboy/GameboyColor emulator on my Sharp Zaurus that identified which platform to emulate by the image more than a year ago. I'm certain examples go back further than that. Because Linux runs on many handheld platforms, any emulator for Linux should count as prior art.
This is the perfect example of the disgusting software patent. You shouldn't be able to port existing features to a particular platform and patent the result. Then again, if you can patent swinging sideways...
Source code is just another form of speech, because code to hack an XBox just explains how to hack an XBox, how to put an owner in charge of their own processors. It's not crying "FIRE" in a crowded theater, because no one is hurt.
This is why many of us equate speech and code. For us, code is just another way to express an idea.
Just as freedom is the freedom to say "two plus two equals four", freedom is the freedom to type "2+2==4".
My right to speak in no way infringes their right to remain silent. Those against open source itself, like the MPAA and SCO, are doing so because they don't like what is being said, as well as how it is being said. The MPAA doesn't want fair use rights, and SCO doesn't want a superior product for the X86.
The code at the bottom of this post is illegal under the DMCA. Its very illegality violates my right to free speech, because it's only legal so long as it's closed source. That's why this is about free speech, and that's why we must protect it.
It's not closed software that's the threat to free speech, it's the attacks that are being made upon open software. You have the right to remain silent, but please leave me my right to speak.

Because they've already said that the gpl is invalid for their code that they redistributed under the GPL, they would have effectively already plead guilty to copyright violation. Sounds like some of that litigation fund could be put to better use with the NMap developers.
Use this program to make unencrypted mpegs that you can play on your own player. The poster is just trying to view his own movies; fair use by any ethical standards.
Instead of blacking them out, he should admit that copyright law sucks. If six people may watch the same movie at the same time on the same player, it stands to reason that it should be legal for six people to watch the same movie at the same time on six different players. Get the law changed, and then go after the MPAA's trust. $25 for a dvd is freakin highway robbery!
Just as it's illegal for the feds to go through every home in america looking for a criminal, it should be (is?) illegal for them to search through private information about me without reasonable cause to suspect me.
Furthermore, the government's paranoia about terrorists will make it illegal to look like a terrorist to this list. If you refuse to give your SS#, you look bad to the list. If you refuse to show ID, you look bad to the list. It doesn't matter that your SS# is supposed to be privately used only for purposes of social security, and it doesn't matter that you can't be forced to show ID unless you are suspected of a crime. What looks bad to the list will become a crime.
I hate this idea because it will imiplicate and punish innocent people for matching the trends of guilty ones. Furthermore, the people said "NO!" to this once, and it's disgusting that our government forces its will over that of the people.
IIRC, legal documents cannot be copyrighted. Therefore you can make whatever changes you want to it, so long as you give it a different name. You would, of course, lose compatibility if you add any new restrictions.

but it loses its high-security status if you install any recent patches.
No postage required. (If your letter prominately states that it is going to an MP, no postage is required)
Parliment just says that. The post office will through your letter out, and they'll have one less citizen's opinion to deal with.
Ever looked in /etc/ on a Solaris box? I have 72 binaries in mine. So, to answer your question, Sun puts configuration files in with userland binaries.

Moral consent, in that you can fast forward your own damn tape in your own damn house on your own damn tv without the FBI interfering.
If anyone is offended by my language, please s/damn/double plus unnice/ now.
You mean you didn't pay attention to the FBI warning message? It's illegal to skip it!
I hope you had expressed written permission, rather than just implied moral consent, to ignore it. If not, you could be next.
