They are explaining why they open the code and why they choose the GNU GPL.
I think that using the GPL is the only way for them to reuse features of Inkscape and other free projects that are missing from their product. We can ask ourself if they are not wanting to divert the Inkscape community.
However if the performance of their engine is as good as they claim, there maybe some interesting bits. Too bad cairo will not be to use some of them (Cairo is distributed under LGPL). We can also expect them to contribute to the wxWidgets project at it is the library they choose for GUI components.
1. Learn how to code a worm 2. Create a "worm creation toolkit" 3. Create a GUI for the toolkit 4. Find a good buzz name such as "nematodes" 5. Feed the press with your buzz words 6. Sell your product to entreprises 7.... 8. Profit!
Theese guys are just black hats that want to profit from a technology only useful to black hats.
Basing usability comparison on such uninformed statements can only be bad for the credibility of free software. I'm fed up of "religious" software reviews from writers who write themselves: "I never bought MS Office after Office XP,and I rarely ever used that".
David Johnson is not to blame. I'm blaming the editor who publishes this. Editors are not just messengers!
Carmack could have been working for NASA or the US military, but instead he simply sits around coding violent computer games.
Don't worry so much. Carmack's talents are not wasted. He is already in the space business with his hobby: he's leading Armadillo Aerospace to work "on computer-controlled hydrogen peroxide rocket vehicles, with an eye towards manned suborbital vehicle development in the coming years".
This licence, contrary to LGPL, explicitely lists the Approved Interfaces in a file named EXCEPTION. So if external code is linked to code not declared in this file, it is covered by the GPL.
Where the LGPL-like freedom stops is here: "Only Red Hat, Inc. may make changes or additions to the list of Approved Interfaces." So if you (assuming you are not Red Hat) want to add interfaces to a fork, they will be covered by the pure GPL as the exception clause will not apply.
It also means that kernels distributed by vendors (including Nokia itself) are not covered by this statement. But, who is using just the official kernels now?
It would perform far, far better than the government which steals the money and then wastes large portions of it.
Aiming to give money to shareholders, as private companies do instead of distributing money to their employees, is another way to steal the money and then waste large portions of it.
A private insurance won't stop fire in your house. However, firemen may do it. A private insurance will just give you money if your child died in the fire.
So if you knew even a small part of the lyrics, you should be OK
This service works also if the music has no lyrics.
Most major online music "stores" out in the wild [...]
Thanks to this service you don't have to be online to get the title of a song. So it should work instantly everywhere you hear music: in a night club, in a "old world" music store, in a train station or with your TV.
My question is "How is this different from NoMachine's NX Server?"
The Open Source Region Stuttgart is using a proprietary non Open Source tool from Tarantella, a company previously know as Santa Cruz Operation (SCO). Tarantella is now being bought by Sun.

Have a look to http://www.agentland.com/ for 'smart' programs that can do good.
As a french I'm interested in the details. Do you have links on Legifrance?
The set is not complete without a digital camera. Very useful to make backups before cleaning the board ;)
So why was it rejected?
Probably because the links are broken.
Please, mod parent up!!!

I have yet to see a PHP app -- especially one that also used MySQL -- that used a design pattern other than "Big Ball of Mud" most often.
Have a look to the Drupal code. Great innovative design can be found there.
Not me. I said to myself "Turbo Vision programmer".

Well, in fact it was a wednesday.
It was a thursday.
Here is a 1995 calendar for Sweden.
And don't bother to look here or here: the answer is not yet there.

Yours too.
Next time I try to be funny I will add smileys for you.
Sorry, but I doubt 75% of the slashdot crowd are lesbian.
Even 1% would be overrated as it would be even more than women coming here.

My question is "How is this different from NoMachine's NX Server?"
The Open Source Region Stuttgart is using a proprietary non Open Source tool from Tarantella, a company previously know as Santa Cruz Operation (SCO).
Tarantella is now being bought by Sun.
This is just a remote connection to a Linux server using the Secure Global Desktop Enterprise Edition from Tarantella.
Is it a coincidence that Sun just announced yesterday they are buying Tarentella?
"Open Soucre" or "Open Source" ?
We had to convert 700 images from hi-quality to web quality and they were going to do it by hand. It took about 15 minutes with a script.
ImageMagick is another tool you could use to automate this kind of tasks.
Adieu UPnP would be better. Au revoir means it will come back (Revoir is "to see again").
