Repeat after me.. Apple is a hardware company... The have no huge intrest in beating out Linux, they just want a good solid OS running on Their computers... They made OS X to drive hardware sales.
Please... thats all we need is more DoS tools on Linux, so all the script kiddies can brag about how l33t they are... Make the code their own DoS tools, like we did back in my day... in machine code
You know it would only be a matter of time before 1 person doesn't get to visit someone a last time because they were in a horrible accident and wern't going to make it much longer or whatever... Sure something like that would be an isolated case, but you have ot bare in my mind here there are times when cell phones really really are important. Now as far as proper usage esp. regarding when & where, there is no ground to be ewstablish a legal authority on controlling the flow of information just because some jack ass can annoy you from time to time.
Straight from the Link: The lawsuit, filed as a class action under the name of plaintiff Terry Gillman of Murray, Utah, alleges that Sprint sent him and other Utah residents unsolicited commercial e-mail that did not include "ADV:" in the subject line. This is not going to stop anyone from sending spam... they will just change the subject line untill it complies.... now if every stat had diffrent/uncompatible subject line requirments we could make it so complicated that they would never be able to satisfy the requirments from every state. Then they would either be constantly attacked by lawsuits or forced to stop sending emails, but I doubt I could get 50 states to agree to this big idea of mine just to stop spam... but when I'm king maybee
I work in tech support. And 500mA of 5V is not much, you hook up 4-5 USB devices to the system itself without a powered hub(ie use all available ports or daisy chain something off your external burner) and see what happens... Most of the 6-pin 1394 cards I've seen have a lead coming straught off the power supply.
Actuall that is true on alot of the older systems, esp. when doing an archaic video card driver or ATA controller (specifically when its is an expansion card. On all of the recent to sem-recent systems no floppy required. Heck the newest BIOS updates for our latest and greatest models are a downloadable win32 based program that you double click. System reboots and pumps some new info in the nvram and it loads back to the OS no questions asked... How easy is that
And after all theese years I still have to tell all my *nix boxen that I want to unmount/dev/cdrom just to get my drive open:-) someday maybee they will get their act together.
So there pretty much saying, were not taking away on of your rights, but we reserve the right to do so later? Is that accurate or am I missing something
Does this seem a little like and old msg to any one else?
"Perhaps this OpenGL bit will blow over, or perhaps we should keep an eye on it as a sort of model for future Microsoft attacks on "open xyz".
Let's check the link, there are some quotes:
They're offering to license their IP under reasonable and nondiscriminatory terms; will license rights to the extent necessary, provided a reciprocal license is granted to MS. Granted on 1:1 basis for OpenGL 1.3, 1.4, and earlier versions.
Ahh, there's the magic "reasonable" (to Microsoft) and "non-discriminatory" (except if you don't agree to the terms). How would this cross-licensing apply to implementations other than the official OpenGL?
Microsoft suggests that other bodies have licensing terms that are more effective in a corporate sense, and we should look at adopting some of those terms.
Uh huh..what does "more effective in a corporate sense" mean exactly....
Well I don't know much about OpenGL licensing, or how much of this extension stuff is implemented in non-OpenGL implementations (like Mesa?) so I'll just watch and see what happens. "

Well , I am writting this from Dell's largest US call center, I doubt they would be hear w/ all 600+ employees using dial up on the call floor.

What was the original liscence for Sun's XDR library ? (genuine question)
Hrmm... I know your joking, but IBM used to make some of their CPU's and IBM is opening a huge new chip factory hrmmm.....
