It's us fighting a whole bunch of people that they put on the stage.
That shouldn't be surprising because he's ATTACKING THE STAGE!!!! Okay he blasts the Linux development process, tries to blackmail Linux users into paying him, starts suing left and right, and then claims that it's all IBM's doing!?!?!? Sounds like he doesn't realize just how many people would strangle him if they could do so legally. I wonder if ESR could sue for libel (he claimed OTR that ESR was on IBM's payroll). In the end, I find this to be some nice amusement at midnight:-)
IMHO - Linux on NTFS is the first step to widespread adoption.
Well... one of the first problems is that Linux needs full rw on NTFS (you can only write a file if you are modifying a file but keeping the size or something to that effect.
is it realy possible to make a "good faith" assertion that a PUBLICALLY ACCESSIBLE file infringes a copyright without actually viewing the file in question? btw. 7 bytes... 56 bits. if someone can get a metallica song to fit into that they should be awarded a HUGE reward. suddenly lots more music can fit on a tiny amount of storage.
great. now we not only have spam flying around, but bots talking to eachother "I want to speak to a real person." "You can speak to a real person if you are a real person" "Hey! I told you! you better let me speak to a real person" " You can speak to a real person if you are a real person" ad infinutum
well DUH! I'm sure something along the lines of... if(a=='a')do_b();else do_c(); has been around longer than any patent like that. If you pick something (a='a') then your choices are limited only to what choices do_b allows instead of all the choices of do_b and do_c
150k per copy. M$ makes up to $200 per EU copy of desktop windoze, 149800 loss per copy of windoze sold. OUCH. 300k copies uses up their entire cash reserve!
no. hook up all the computers at a polling place to a LAN. then have a program generate a printout which the election workers take to a central location for scanning (Or a CDR would work, too, to store more paper trail info). The point is that none of the election computers should have any connection to the internet directly until all election data is replicated to at least 3 different media (so as to prevent tampering/make it obvious when it is)
For example, Bruce Eckel makes his Thinking in Java book available for download online for free. He also sells it, apparently he's earning enough to justify not removing the download. More of his take on download availability is here
Nice to see you are aligned with Communism, which has claimed more lives than all the wars in the modern age COMBINED.

That's the dumbest statement I have ever heard. I hope you don't think that link you provided is proof of anything. It's just radical ight wing rhetoric.
Ever heard of a guy named Stalin? yeah he was the 2nd Premier of the Soviet Union. he killed MILLIONS of russians etc. because of paranoia
but the scripts have already been written. If you are really interested in this, write a collection of wrappers and publish them. Maybe people will use them. This also prevents script breakage
Given the viral nature of Free Food (i.e. "You are what you eat"), the consumption of this food could result in you being required to give Free Food to every person you meet (since physical proximity to another person could be interpreted as a "distribution"). I would therefore advise against the widespread commercial adoption of Free Food.
However, if you are Darl McBride, then you are allowed to consume free food, distribute free food for a while, then demand $699 for every piece of free food ever distributed (but $32 if the free food is embedded (like the hot dog inside the bun))

well to study it, it would really help to have a name for it in the first place.
recruitment, office space, office supplies, insurance, 401k, etc.
*ix does provide a way: run *ix instead of windoze
Funny how it has the binary number "10".. Hmm, how peculiar, 10, the number that follows 01?
not really
Mozilla has nightly builds which will run on multiple distros (along with their releases)

by the way the bot would also ignore grammar nazis
But then you have bots that reply to msgs containing "I am a real person" with "Prove it!"
Make them have size 7 bytes. content: "SUCKER!"

He meant LAN. turn on a couple brain cells next time

Seems like basic logic to me!

They slashdotted my penix!
You must have low throughput.
Nah, nobody's penix is capable of handling hordes of computer geeks.

wow. someone needs to REALLY lighten up. PLEASE read /. with humor sensors ON. doing otherwise may be hazardous to your health/sanity
I FIGURED IT OUT!!! the identical code:
/* returns the larger of its arguments */
#define MAX(a,b) (ab)?b:a
OMG they were right!
trivial code might be identical
you mean you don't manually telnet to your ISP's SMTP server!?!? that gives you NO extra headers whatsoever!
