I'll jump right on that. not. Lets see, threaten pretty much anyone that runs the Linux kernel with a heap of legal actions. Then turn around and offer a "safe way" out.
Hmmmm, really sounds like racketering to me.
ROTFLMAO...... whew. That Mcbride sure is a nit-wit. He needs to stop talking to his brother Darl and other brother Darl.
Ok Darl whatsamater? Don't like it when someone dares you to cough up proof? Cry baby.
Blow it up your poop shoot. Such short sightedness always belongs to anonymous cowards.
The same thing was said by such knuckle heads when the horseless carriage started to take the place of the horse. A company by the name of Delco during them times changed their business model from producing buggy whips to starter motors.
Companies that cannot adapt to changing times deserve to go belly up. SCO has hardly tried to adapt. They used the same/similar mentality IBM did with the PC and it cost them.
"but why aren't the benefits of lower production costs being passed on to the consumer?"
Simple, they are not interested in passing any savings onto the consumer. They play the 3 card monte with excuses why the product costs what it does.
It's just smoke and mirrors for the chumps in the RIAA/Music industry.
Just another bullshit article that wants to make linux monolithic like windows. To hell with that. The whole point of open source and Linux is freedom of choice. If I wanted someone else (besides me) making decisions for me, I would have stayed with microcrap.
No I would rather there be to many (as the article puts it). At least in this case, the better ones will float to the top because of TRUE popularity and not because some knucklehead/governing body/commitiee/etc made the decision.
When there are many other graphic file formats avalable of equal or better quality than jpeg and company that insists on using a proprietary format are idiots.
just another reason why open source is far supeiror, even though my spellingg may not be.
The RIAA and their related knuckleheads are only cutting their own throats and alienating it's customer base.
They will be right behind the lawyers as the second ones up against the wall.
Because of these idiots trying to squeeze every last drop and dictating to me pretty much what, when and where and on what I can play music I BOUGHT they can go to hell.
Except that in Microsoft's case there are very, very, very few applications they themselves have developed on their own. By and large they have bought almost all the technology they use. That is not by any stretch of the imagination, innovation.
Given Googles track record, Billy needs to bark up a different tree.
Google has been so helpful, useful and any other such adjective you care to use that I cannot remember the last time I used a any other search engine.
Not only have I found Google to be the best search engine I have used, it is also the most pleasant as I am NOT baraged with banner ads and other similar crap.
I can see it now if they did jump into this arena. Every single search result would puke up all things Microsoft as the highest rated. Billyg excuse would be, thats how the hit count went or some other bull.
This is their first steps to circling the wagon. I guess with the couple of billions billyg has flogged around, they are now ready to bing up the walls.
Whaaaaaaaaa.
I am not surprised they have with drawn from such a cross-platform project.
It matters because it means the program will run more efficently, at least thats what I think Linus is getting at.
Just because memory may be cheap, CPUs today run hot as an iron and have boatloads of cache. Does not provide an excuse to write crappy bloated code.
Code size if not now, should be an important issue.
Your last statement is exactly what has happened. When it comes down to IP and creativity, there is no reason. The prior stiffles or prohibits the latter.
Why go through the trouble of imbedding DRM into a document instead of using crypto or some other type of security? Because it is Microsofts way of barfing up crappy code that will be full of security holes and calling it "innovation."

No they do it to keep eveyone on the upgrade cascade. They gotta have some way to suck dollars out of your pocket.
Well it was only a matter of time. But (pardon the pun) ISP's are dreaming up every excuse they can to blame users for their inadequacies and incompentence.
AFAIC if you advertise X download/upload speeds and then later renig blaming "the hogs" it is the same as the old tactic of bait and switch. Plan and simple. For those of you morons and non-thinking types, do not bother replying, instead go suck an egg.
This is just another excuse for ISP's to deny their responsibility to provide the service you signed up for.
EOL.

Good job Austrialian courts.
Lol, that's about the truest thing I've read in a while.
the knuckle heads at SCO have fired up one to many crack pipes.

What your talking about is generalities, which are lies.
FACT - Todd Law is a troll, knuckle head and wouldn't know what to do with 1 rock, 1 piece of flint and some tinder.
That's a load of crap.

The only moron here is you..... and SCO.
I hate companies/websites that make you install Flash just to view their site. What a bunch of lame poop heads.

How many "leaks" does this make now for them? Sometimes I wonder if this is not intentional. So they can trumpit their DRM malarky.

What's the big deal? Nothing to get excited about, they will just replace one knucklehead with another.
It is amazing the HR would be so willing to lay down our rights for money, good ridence baby!
Bullshit. Windows does not have the right to claim "Windows".
