And you know what? PG&E has been quietly pulling fibre through their understreet conduits for several years. I wonder why? I wonder if the ratepayers know about it?
The use of this server constitues an agreement between SCO and International Business Machines (IBM). SCO agrees that SCO has no legal claim to any intellectual property, copywrite, or patent to any property of IBM or the free software community in general. SCO further agrees that McBride and Sontage are whinny poopbutts undeserving of any compensation, payment or consideration.
You want all the benefits of the socialist economy of Sweden and all the benefits of (largely) free-enterprize Canada. Umm, something has to give somewhere.

There was Lee Lee Felsenstein's Community Memory project to do an electronic bulletin board system throughout the Bay area, run by a group called "Loving Grace Cybernetics" Probably what you're thinking about.
Blame the machine or blame the programmer? You can write x86 code without buffer overflows, period. That you can be more sloppy on other architectures and not get overflows seems silly. Like "everyone should drive Volvos cause they are safer."
Lots of things can be laid at the feet of x86 architecture, but not that it seduces programmers into writing code with buffer overflows.
Can someone explain to me how a piece of hardware (the camera) is entitled to copyright protection of it's work (the white balance data). The last time I looked, the Constitution protected people, not machines.
It seems clear that the camera is creating the work and as such is not entitled to any copyright protection.
My company asked that the company's name be included somewhere in the softwares' materials in the releases I was involved with; I figured this was a small favor to go along with, and it helped them appreciate the idea as having some sort of paid-forward benefit.
And they will really appreciate that small favor when the support calls start coming in.
I think that you're trying to make a statement advocating open-source software for internal projects, not actually asking a question. Now there's nothing wrong with that, but let's be up-front about it.
I think that most of the in-house software will not be open-sourced. First of all, there's always the chance that the programs would benefit the competition. Remember that since they are the competition, they will generally need the same tools. Secondly, right or wrong, there is in some companies, the stigma of the "viral open-source license". Finally, internal programs often use internal (and sometimes proprietary) tools and are also seen as potential revenue streams. "Why give it away when we spent $XX,XXX developing it"
Note that this post is in no way meant to be a flamebait, just an honest assessment of what I've seen.
It's really easy. Take the net cost of buying a machine, divide by expected lifespan. Take net cost of leasing a machine [include shipping, and the such], divide by lease time. Compare cost per time. Pick the lower value.
No, it's not really easy. You left out depreciation, the $100k non-depreciation allowance each year, whether or not capital purchases are allowed by management, disposal, etc,

Hillary Rosen.
I rest my case.
IBM Systems Journals are a great resource. Those old guys knew their stuff and did a good job of explaining it.
There's not been 45 fsking gigabytes of content made in the last 2 years I'd want to waste my time viewing.
Sounds to me like she would be a fine fit for SCO PR hack. Opps, I defamed the term "hack", make that flack.
The answer is easy. If God created us before we seeded the planet, super-natural. If we evolved, natural.
Circular logic at it's best.

Let me get this straight.

I admire a troll that's not afraid to tell a troll that he's trolled a troll.
But doesn't pretty much everyone use a compiler. And doesn't the compiler pretty much insulate you from such issues? What am I missing?

Thanks. A good idea. Unfortunately it won't help me much as I do alot of embedded DOS work and bounce back and forth from DOS/Win/Linux.
Alias the dos commands and add the Joe (wordstar-compatable) text editor.
That Kerry wouldn't have done the same?

And conversely, should we implictly pay for the bandwidth to receive content we neither requested nor wanted? I think not.
Never used? Maybe NOP for new-old patent.
A sweet gig if you can pull it off.

You missed the nexus. I can't recall a day when every slashdot post was about gaming.
Thanks for biting though... br.
And 10 of the day's 10 posts are about gaming. Must mean something, I just don't know what...
