Yeah, I immediately pictured the burning diploma when I saw it. While nitpicking about spelling in general is lame, misspellings of "smart" always amuse me.

I happen to be fortunate enough to live in such a country, where SCO's claims are without merit and can safely be ignored.
This country is known as the United States.
As a former British colony, English is our native tongue, and we enjoy all the benefits of a common law system in which accusations must be proven in a court of law, where SCO's claims will be painlessly euthanized.
SCO's executives, then, will likely be tried for fraud and will go to a white-collar `resort' prison, where they will be forced to play tennis and frolick merrily and live in minimum-security dormitory-style housing for the rest of their days.
You may think our methods and punishments are cruel, but corporate crime is a serious problem here, and we will make sure to slap them on the wrists as many times as necessary until Justice is served.
Yes, Broadcom would have to release their changes. But not to the general public. The source only has to be released to the same organizations to whom the binaries were released - in this case, Linksys. If Broadcom gave you a copy of their modified GCC, they'd also have to give you a copy of their source.
And if Broadcom distributed the binaries to Linksys, and Linksys distributed a device with the binaries to you, then Linksys must make available to you the source code, which should not be a problem, since Broadcom must in turn make the sources available to Linksys.

Id really like to try this OpenML SDK, but it seems you are requered to enter your phone number - now why is that??
*shrug*
SDL also offers crossplatform media functionality (and it beats the pants off of GLUT when working with OpenGL), and definitely doesn't have any such silly requirements.;-)
Or you could just tell the OpenML people your phone number is 867-5309.:-)
I can think of cooler stuff to do with microbes - like in restauraunts, have lots of microbes at the bottom of a special trash can to eat away grease (McDonalds would love that.)
It just comes down to what's best for how one works. And how much one is willing to sacrifice for security and stability. Every OS balances between these three pilars.
I'm guessing a certain crash-prone OS leans decidedly toward the "Sacrifice" pillar.;-)
# Compile as much GPLd software as possible through Microsoft's Visual C++ compiler. Disassemble. # Disassemble as much Microsoft product code as posssible. # Diff. (More likely, feed sequences into a database program). Look for common instruction sequences of at least 50 instructions or so.
You forgot a step. You'd have to compare both against a body of known "clean" MSVC-compiled binaries to weed out false positives and boilerplate code that MSVC plops into all binaries.
On the whole, it's a neat idea. Holler when you've got a prototype working.;-)
That free market stuff is only good in a carefully regulated environment. Laissez faire capitalism was successfully debunked in 1929, and many times since then - think Microsoft.
Under lassiez-faire capitalism, there would be no legal mechanisms to artificially prevent you from say, modifying your printer cartridges, or making and distributing as many copies of whatever piece of software or media you wish. Nor would you be bound by unsigned and un-viewed "agreements" buried at the bottom of a box.
So this legislation seeks to restore a semblance of a "free market", as a counterbalance to the excesses of the DMCA, which really tampers with the market.
If it's not that big of a bother to him, then he should just bare it.
Did you mean "just bear it", as in silently endure the harrassment, or "just bare it", as in take it off and do the nekkid hokey-pokey with ol' Sarcophagranny?
Since registering for an email account is typically a one-time thing (unless you're a spambot, that is), making a toll-free phone number available to register manually (i.e., by talking to someone) might be a solution.
Costs wouldn't be too bad, as most people who are able to use the image-based form would do so for the convenience, while those who can't would have an alternative interface, and the inconvenience would be minimized by the fact that they only need to call once.

Bull. The Titanic was overengineered.
The ship sank simply because it was run as if it were unsinkable. Death by hype.:)

Smrt? Is that just a synonym for "intelllejint"?
I bow before your Windows-using jeenious!

The world doesn't need another entirely new language, because we already have C++.
:-)
Agreed. I certainly wouldn't wish another C++ on the world.

This could be an ecological catastrophe! If the players keep killing each other off, pretty soon there won't be anybody left!

This pdf was apparently generated by pdftex,
which is GPL'd.
So you probably won't go to GNU/Hell for reading it, in your friendly local xpdf or konqueror or whatnot.

Nope, doesn't ring a bell.
Basically the inability of the US courts to stop Microsoft from doing what they continue to do is the same as the south winning the civil war.

Gentoo also has a nice separation of "cutting edge" from "bleeding edge".
If you want to see packages that are still in testing, type ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" [or ~your_platform_name, like ~ppc] emerge -Up world
If you're thinking of "IP" as one monolithic clump, then the term "Intellectual Property" has already wormed its way into your thought process.
Use "copyright [law]", "trademark [law]" or "patent [law]" when appropriate, and explicitly recognize that they're separate things.
