Very simple, Microsoft gets patents on existing functionality or technology. If you use them, they go after you. Even if there is prior art, Microsoft can tie it up in court. Since Microsoft has a huge advantage in the money department, they can last longer, causing the victim to surrender or agree to some crazy license from Microsoft. It's basically being a bully.
It's smart business, however if we depended on "smart business" we'd probable be still living in caves after someone patented "shelters."
I don't know if it will or will not convert people to Linux, however it agrees with my belief/rules of "you don't support me, I don't support you." Since I don't run Windows, not releasing a Linux client fits into the "don't support me" category.
For example, I'm a mods/mutator creator for UT2003. If they stop porting to Linux, I can't play anymore, so there is no need for me to create mods and mutators. So not only do they lose a player who will pay for the new game, the lose the work I would do for their game. And I have been told that my stuff is the only reason why some people play UT2003.:)
Depends. With Linux there is no license cost for the OS, with QNX there is. So if the cost of the extra memory to hold a bigger OS footprint, per unit, is less than the OS license, per unit, you'd go with the extra memory and Linux.
For some reason when I hear "Live Action" I think of " on Ice." or a play, since a movie isn't really live action. I guess saying "non-anime version" would be a better description.
I keep picturing guys in foam Eva costumes, with ice skates on, having crapy simulated fights with Angels while not trying slip and fall down. All that to a snazzy opera type music and a few number where Shingi sings about running away.
Since the source code to Linux is out there, is it possible for them to cut and paste it into the SCO UnixWare code and pretend it's theirs? I only get worried about this since it's been proven, by past events, that the judicial system isn't really tech savvy.
How do you verify that the code SCO provides is the same code that is in UnixWare? Do they disassemble shrink-wrapped version of UnixWare and compare it to the given code? Do they force them to re-compile a past release of UnixWare and compare the binaries.
that a big black monolith would land on their T1 lines and all there IMs would start spamming, "All these private subnets are yours except the Internet, attempt no meddling there."
So how does this affect me running VMWare with a guest OS that connects to the Internet? How can the ISP tell if I have two real machines or a real and a virtual machine?
KHTML isn't closed. It's part of the KDE project, and what Konqueror uses. In fact Apple is submitting the changes back into the KDE CVS. So all the changes Apples makes will be available to non-Mac users.
Mac OS X won't be a "driver" until they lower their prices. That's the point that hurts Apple the most. I can go to Walmart and pick up a machine 2G processor for around $500 dollars. Now with the economy like it is, if I had to purchase a bunch of computer a department, Apple won't be it. I can get 2+ PC for one Mac.
Mac OS X could cure cancer, but in the real world, it comes down to money.
My Perl packages all have to "goto" statments. They allo me to write 1 entrance, 1 exist subroutines and avoid of conditional blocks that can make the code un-readable.
I know there is nothing about pork in the article, but it does symbolize attributes that might used to profile a passanger. However these type of cultural points are not reliable. If someone is convinced that killing Americans will get them into heaven, they can be easily convinced that eating pork is OK if you are going to be killing Americans. So that profile point becomes moot and gives false positives.
I know this book is about software RAID ...

Managing RAID on Linux
·
· Score: 5, Informative
but the easiest way I've found is to go with hardware RAID. It's easier to setup, doesn't put any extra load on the CPU, and only costs a few hundred dollars extra.
Mind you I'm thinking of RAID used in producion instead of someone RAIDing two drives in there home machine.
Lossy to Lossy = crappy.
You'd be taking an MP3, a lossy format, and converting once again to a lossy format, MP3 or OGG. The quality would less than the original.
I've heard that had to close it down due to a large amount of damage caused by two mice trying to get a piece of cheese. Even the robot janitor has quit.
This is a common occurrence with "Houses Of The Future". Prior to this it was two dogs trying to get a bone.
Most web hosting companies, that use Apache, use "SUEXEC". This allows you to set a different user and group for a virtual host. So the any files written to disk, with in the allowed "SUEXEC" directory/location will have the user's UID and GID.
It's not the developers that get into KDE vs. Gnome battles, it's the users. Normally, developers on OSS project have a lot of respect for their "competitors."

>idealistic for a minority community.
But that is how a minority becomes a majority. If no one takes a stand, then the issue will not be visible to others.
If we followed your mindset, we'd still think the world was flat.

Strangely enough, if you are going to associate a generation to the current problems, it's the "peace and love" generation of the '60s fault.
I guess "peace and love" has been replaced by "litigation and profit."
Great!! Now my mail to my friends on Jupiter won't get lost!!

I hope they validate that what SCO puts forwards.

Agreed.
