"Copyright today means exactly what the sum of its parts mean: The right to copy. It's that simple. When you buy a cd you have licensed it and have the ability to copy it for your own personal use."
The important part of this quote is "personal use". You can purchase a CD and make 100 copies of it if you like;however, you MAY NOT distribute those copies. If you purchase a CD you can rip it into MP3 format 100 times as well, but you MAY NOT redistribute those MP3s. These is nothing evil or wrong about this at all, because the copyright holders are the only ones who are allowed to copy and DISTRIBUTE. Perhaps they should change the term from copyright to copyanddistributeright.
Although it was convenient, mp3.com was in the wrong with their service. They had absolutley no right to copy and distribute copyrighted material. What's even worse is they were making money off of it.
I realize most of my post is reduntant, but I felt I needed to clarify INMCM's excellent post for stupid people like myself, and for the "communistI want everything to be free(gratis)" types.
Of course the FAA doesn't allow pilots to only use GPS intrumentation. The Army has a nasty habit of turning GPS at the first sign of trouble. Could you image thousands of aircraft moving at 500 miles/hour each within 5 miles of the other without instrumentation?
Request 1: Write a compiler that targets outputs java byte code rather than native instructions.
Request 2: While it's not ADA, Apple is doing exactly that with their Objective C bridge in Mac OSX. You can use native classes from within a Java class and vice-versa. I'm assuming something similiar could be done with ADA.
Note: My knowledge of ADA is very limited. I have a single book that I purchased and skimmed over a few pages in. I felt it wasn't worth learning as I don't ever intend to code for the US military. Not that knowing ADA is a prerequisite for that anymore anyways.
MacOS 7-9 doesn't ship with a compiler on the install CD, but Apple has made Macintosh Programmers Workbench (MPW) available for free for quite a long time. It is easily and freely available from apple's ftp site.
That OS is set to be released by our friends at 1 Infinite Loop Cupertino, CA to the public next month, and will be preloaded on millions of computers in early 2001.

SuSE For PPC

· Score: 2
I'm amazed at just how negative you can be. You want a cheap PPC system? iMacs are pretty cheap. You could also look at a used Powermac as well. I suppose next I'll hear "Those ultra 30s are sure nice. They should make a really cheap one." Think of all the money you're saving with your "free beer" software. You should be able to buy almost any machine you would like.
One does not have to release code if they've forked. When was the last time you saw the source code to BSDI, Ultrix, any other commercial BSD derivative?
IMHO the biggest thing all flavors of Unix have in common is the "everything is a file" design. So the answer to your question about porting all sorts of things to NT and calling it MS Unix is no. Everything in NT is an object.
It's obvious that almost everyone who voted in this poll was stoned? Linux more scalable that Irix or Solaris? Give me a break. I used to run Linux until the droves of kiddies took over the playground. Linux 1993-1999 RIP

Damn, I should have hit preview. That should have read turning GPS off.

Mandrake is not the first distro Walmart has carried. Redhat has been available for quite some time at my local Walmart.
