Users favorite deal sites can display an error message to IE7 users that tells them their browser is defective and that in order for them to keep prices low, they will need to upgrade their web browser to Firefox to purchase anything from the site. They can also have a continue anyways button and store a cookie to not display the message again. That way when there is no green bar the users will know it is because they are not using an approved browser.
YAY for Microsoft, let them shoot themselves in the foot.
if you dont want people to use your NTP server then logic would dictate dont set one up in the first place
That is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard.
Using your twisted logic there is nothing wrong with spammers sending people hundreds of thousands of unsolicited commercial email a day. If people don't want spam then they should not have set up an email address right?
Lucent should go SCO style... They should sell a license for Using their Mpeg decoder patient tech for the low cost of $699.00 and then threaten to sue the end users, if they fail to buy. They could call it a lucoder license.
If Lucent likes my idea and you have a xbox you might be sued!
Do you think Microsoft would offer to support the end users being sued by Lucent?
SCO's claim is not necessarily that IBM stole code that they have a patent on. SCO's claim revolves around a contract that SCO and IBM have
Yes. And this lets SCO charge 699 for the Linux kernel that they distribute in binary form only? That you cannot have or distribute the source under the terms of the GPL.
Part of SCO's "evidence" of this wrongdoing is the contract itself: what does the contract say? What are the terms? What constitutes "submitting" and "violation", in the framework of the contract?
It seems like SCO does not understand the GPL.;) Becuase that is the term SCO released all of the IBM's "they violated our contract so you all owe us $699.00 dollars to use Linux" code under.
And even if they are dead on in their marketing campaign, I'm not sure I'm entirely comfortable they piggyback so strongly on Linux. I know IBM has been a contributor to Linux -- has their backing been that strong?
Where have you been? If it was not for IBM sco would be suing other linux users for a scosource license. see: groklaw.org
They have only contributed to 94 linux projects... you can see the very small list here:http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/views/l inux/projects.jsp
I am sure the linux users will be the first to prove this is easy to bypass by running skype in a sandbox and returning/proc/cpuinfo with bogus model name and vendor_id "intel inside" information... Web browsers have done this for a long time... I guess CPU information is next.
This takes about 5 minutes to bypass, unless they are using a special compiler.

Great lets create an economic enviroment where having huge debt is the only way to buy a house. Isn't outsourcing awesome? Currency backed by labor? Pfft. With currency backed by labor, while labor is leaving the country. Outsourcing kills the american dollar as does inflation... It's like getting stabbed with a double edged sword.
It also takes a "heathy" dose of stupidity to allow a private corperation to magically create money, to loan to the government that it will never be able repay because of interest.
How do you figure that the US can pay back the "Fed?"
A reintroduction of the gold standard would be a bad thing? With the gold standard in place it would practically stop inflation. The only reason it was removed is because it's easier to print money when you don't have to back it with anything...
The way money works today is the Federal Reserve prints money with nothing to back it and loans it with interest to the US Government. The Federal Reserve is like Federal Express, they are a corperate entity.
You have the code... If you want a feature post a bounty, hire someone at guru.com, code it yourself.
Or you can cry boohoo the developer that coded the software that I paid nothing for does not want to work for free for me. For something I "think" should be in the software, but he doesn't. BooHoo they are asses.
He is coding what he wants to, not what some whiny ass freeloading user wants. He gave you his code for free and didn't charge you for it so he could pay for his Porsche.
He is proud of his code, you can tell this by the fact that he showing you the code. He is responsible for the program and it shows, because chatting works through NAT.
Go back to paying for closed source software, F/OSS doesn't need crybaby freeloaders like you.
Now all customers that used this code are stuck at the current version of Perl, never to be able to upgrade....And Microsoft calls the GPL viral?! Microsoft with the license they allowed activestate, to use there code with, would be called what? Radioactive code or nuclear code?
Slashdot Mirror
Nope. Ktubes and gTubes.
This can also work 2 ways.

Are you retarded?
How is using hardware you purchased running the Linux OS in a way that you want to. "Not going to work and land you in jail?"
Not modding this message as informative will not work and may land you in jail.

Google's "do no evil" claim is a jedi mind trick. they say they do no evil, so they can do evil.
You almost have it right, but left out the coffee step...
You will never make it to step 3 without lots and lots of coffee.

So basically it's wakeonlan... I see that as prior art... if it is not prior art they could make it with a firmware update.
1 receive wakeonlan packet
2 run script to check for new mail
3 notify new user of mail.

And you see this as a good thing?
you could always use diff.. ;)
Adobe Reader is a slow bloated POS. Kpdf does just as good as a job rendering pdf files as Adobe Reader, but Kpdf is a lot faster.
Tie it in to smartd on a linux box and you can see when the drive starts to die...

How much money have you given the gaim project and why should they care if you have a problem?
I am guessing that you have given them zero dollars... Which means that you are already getting more than you payed for.
Ok open your c++ code from VS in to eclipse or other IDE.. It looks really nice in there doesn't it.
Now all customers that used this code are stuck at the current version of Perl, never to be able to upgrade. ...And Microsoft calls the GPL viral?! Microsoft with the license they allowed activestate, to use there code with, would be called what? Radioactive code or nuclear code?
Actually Microsoft has added so much bloat to their latest software, that their programs no longer fit in a 32bit address space.
:P
That is the "real" reason of the push to 64bit CPUS
Gentoo of course!! Or for easy to install and upto date releases kubuntu ;)see http://www.kubuntu.org/
