a competitive advantage. If you paid to have software developed that allows you to save money, why give it to your competition? now they can lower their overhead and be able to undercut your prices just a bit more and keep the same margin.
wow. okay. you know that tag at the top of any HTML file? the one that says <html>? yeah that one. that says "okay this text is actually HTML markup" what is HTML? it is what is defined by the spec published by W3C. Thus the spec DEFINES what is correct for HTML. unilateral extensions to standards make the standard lose its force. Now a spec might not be the best thing ever, but that's why standards evolve. Note that a proper HTML page also has a doctype tag as the first thing in the file (i.e. <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN">) this tells you specifically what version of the standard to use.
About testing in various browsers: yes we know it's easy to do. the only thing is that a lot of sites don't. one time I went to a site that continually gave me alerts to use IE. Don't get me started on popup menus and standards compliance either.
p.s. who were the mods that modded this insightful? this is nice ignorance
So I can read a book and then write another one with the same exact plot (read emulation of functions) as long as it has different actual words, when some of the characters might be the same (read some of the variable names matched).
how would he have copy-pasted it from the article without reading it?
thread synopsis so far:
poster A: "w/e"
poster B: Write it out!
poster A: RTFA
poster B: RTFA
/. almost always links to OTHER sources (like this article links to TechNet, etc.)
I think of/. as a compilation of news sources to produce stuff that is (usually) "News for Nerds. Stuff that matters." Either way,/. is not a source but a distributer
PortaLogica has a bit of a design flaw, you get points for being INefficient. This is because it lets you connect gate outputs to 2 places. Consider: 3 0's. AND/OR/XOR 2 of them. AND/OR/XOR the gate with the third. AND/OR/XOR both gates. AND/OR/XOR the second and third gate.... AND/OR/XOR the nth and n+1th gate. you get the same 3 outputs while increasing your score indefinitely. With 4 binary 1's to start with, you can do 2 ORs, XOR the ORs, OR the XOR and OR (do 2 of these). You now have access to 4 binary 1's. lather rinse repeat.
if their distribution violated their patent, then Linus can sue them for violating the GPL (if can't distribute it royalty-free then you can't distribute at all)
Hmmm... how does light run back through nanotubes produce electricity? While every physical process is reversible, we need one that will occur using REALLY SMALL areas.
Perhaps very few/. readers live in TN? Perhaps because this didn' make the front page? Are those good enough reasonsfor why there are too few comments?
Distributing your *own* software under the GPL does not affect your copyright ownership rights to it. SCO is claiming the code is copyrighted by them. This in fact would mean they are the only entity that can distribute it, under the GPL or any other license.
Okay. you still own the copyright rights, but now you've given a bunch of people GPL rights for it. Now the code can be used in a GPLed project (like Linux) if anyone got part of a Caldera distribution of Linux and modified it to be put in to Linus' tree.
IANAL but they filed suit well before this announcement, and were preparing the lawsuit before this. thus they DID distribute Linux (which must be distributed under gpl). therefore since they distributed it (which according to them has their own IP) under GPL, Linux is GPLed even according to SCO and all is well in the world (well... not quite)
one problem. This (the 16 line) way you can control whether a property is write-only, read-only, etc. Also, it allows you to control the implementation of the write and read methods independently.
Some critics and competitors have raised concerns that the technology could be used to reinforce Microsoft's dominance.
Secure documents created in Microsoft Office, for instance, could be unusable on other operating systems or with other office productivity suites. In the interview, Gates said it's up to other companies to ensure interoperability. "I don't know what's going to be capable there. I don't do the software on those systems," he said. "I don't hold the keys. If they do the implementation, then it's like saying they have the same features as every other thing we do in Windows. It's up to them."
He claims "I don't hold the keys" when he owns an almost de facto standard office suite (M$ Office).
if you read, you'd note that I symlinked it there. that way I could run mozilla by typing just "mozilla" in a command line. the way I have it set up now it works just fine whether I am logged on as root or a regular user.

Why not? What do your clients stand to lose?

nah. he'll just "creatively" port the .exe to his executable format

QUERTY swddenly the parent poster's problem becomes clear. His keyboard has W and U suitched around

Last I checked, . is automatically searched in addition to the classpath
with [Aa-Zz]#
shouldn't that be [A-Za-z]# ?
I've referred to C# as, Db instead of C#, but that would mean it is for databases, oh well.
that should be 1337 1337, 1337 1337 1337, not 1337, 1337, 1337, 1337. get it right.

Okay, we got electricity->light. but now we need something else to get it back to electricity iff light present.
