California had a mandate that all major manufacturers sell at least some percentage of zero-emission vehicles. The original deadline was 1998, I think, and it got postponed. Will GM's move help kill the mandate? Or will California shut GM out of its market?
WordPerfect 6 (for DOS) was an awesome product for its time. Nothing else came close in terms of features and speed. It had a bit of a learning curve, but was still far easier to use than WordStar.
The subsequent versions of WordPerfect on Windows couldn't compete with MS Word. The features WordPerfect so great on DOS made it a fish out of water on Windows. The numerous function keys like Shift-F7 and Alt-F11 were non-standard on Windows. The paradigm of Reveal Codes (which let you know exactly what was in your document) and explicit Print Preview (which made editing fast on slow hardware) was completely inconsistent with WYSIWYG. Porting to Windows made WordPerfect lose its competitive edge. It's the same story as Lotus 1-2-3 and other apps.
Anyway, it's wrong to give Corel credit for WordPerfect. Novell bought WordPefect Corporation, and Corel bought WordPerfect from Novell. Microsoft bought part of Corel. The process of salvaging its value began way back when WordPerfect Corporation was sold.
Supposing that you wrote a module that could run on a BSD as well as Linux, wouldn't that be sufficient proof that your work was "independent and separate?" After all, it doesn't need Linux to do something meaningful.

Keving Mitnick didn't intend to use information that he acquired from hacking for personal gain. Remember what happened to him?
I sure hope they recycle all those batteries somehow.
Remember, this recall comes from a company that was boneheaded enough to name their hybrid car "Impact."

Why did my TV suddenly decide that I wanted to see three specials about Michael Jackson every week?
Because your TiVo thinks you want to watch them.
You can get most of that functionality using kibitz and talk.
