No! 4.4BSDLite's license was changed. Not the *BSDs, as UCB has no authority over them. Free, Net, and Open's license remain unchanged, each with the adveriting clause (but _they_ no longer _have_ to keep it.)
If you don't know that electricty induces a magnetic field, you shouldn't be pretending to be an expert
Get a clue.. magnets induce electricity in a wire and electricity induces a magnetic propety (left hand rule) in the wire. Sheesh, i learned this stuff in my introduction to electronics course. (Actually, i knew some of this stuff in Junior High..)
I'm not familar with Happy99, but it sounds like an area that is very unclear for defining it. Waaay back in the day, the only way for a program to automatically distribute itself would be to append its code onto another executable and have the executable call the virii as a subroutine upon execution.
Today.. i guess a better definition of virus would be a program that self replicates by "infecting" other executables and relies on the sharing of executables to spread the "infection"
Poit, i was the hardware tech in #psx (EFNet) for a year and a half.
There are _two_ parts to the CD's protection. One is a country code (either SCEA, SCEE, or SCEI) and the other is sectors 12-15 containg data but zero'd EDC/ECC data
So basically the firmware of the burners detect that the sectors are marked bad, decides you really don't want to do this, and "fixes" them.
BTW, these "plug mods" make me sick, it just increases the dumbification of pirates. If you want to pirate PSX games, learn to solder. Period. (and learn from a teacher, i've talked to countless people who did things like put the solder on the iron and smear the iron onto the connection..)
no, you don't want that. There is no need for two free UNIXes that strive to be the best at x86. Its pointless and stupid.
Its very foolish to have two free projects with the same goals competing, and you can owe it all to the GPL. Anyhow, there _isn't_ room for the both of them to survive well and its just a matter of time..
Port? it'll run fine on freebsd with linux-compat, i'm willing to bet.
I doubt a game is gonna use EXTREMLEY obscure system calls or kernel loops.

Ahaha. No, the craze is with the BSDs but noone will tell you that.:D Rumor is that the programs will be user-level and not kernel-level, so i'll have noooo problem with them on my freebsd box and linux-compat.
If you want your code to be free, it should be free to everyone. No matter what they want to do with it. The BSD license hasn't hurt FreeBSD in ANY way. (err, i say freebsd but this applies to all OSes that come from BSD)
Slashdot Mirror
BSDi is a company.
Their product is BSD/OS. It is fairly good, but its probably not worth the money.
_Please_ stop saying "i run bsdi"
No!

No, that change was a change in the 4.4BSDLite license. FreeBSD's (as well as Open and NT) licenses remains unchanged.
uS- microseconds
uF- microfarads (most common) etc.
But your pixels would also be twice as big, so you won't notice it as much if you sit farther away. I do see the use with TV tuners, tho :D

Its VIRUSES, damnit!

Either way, who cares.
Only that trojan horses aren't viruses.
Viruses have to reproduce. Duh.
The ownership of a company that produces a product doesn't mean a heck of a lot.
But it _DOES_ mean that the companies will have much more money to work with, so expect more money to be thrown at things.
"linux is just proof that if you give 1,000 monkies terminals, eventually they'll write an OS that boots."
IPOs happen. You aren't communist, are you? :D
This is how the *BSDs get along.. they all develop in 3 directions then merge their progress.
Anyhow, if you want portability run NetBSD.
Guess you've never seen FreeBSD, NetBSD, or OpenBSD at work.
Or _any_ other maintained commerical UNIX for that matter.
Give me a break, linux was just an experiment. Its proof that if you give 1,000 monkies terminals that eventually they'll write an OS that boots..
-- realizes he'll probably get moderated down for that last comment.
Then Corel Linux, a product that might have been useful to a specific market, goes to _waste_
I'd much rather see Corel Linux exist and be commerical...
than not exist at all.
Its a political move to "support linux"
-bugg (no longer fearing karma damage)
More seriously, the changes are not significant.
I've never had a problem running linux binaries with 3.2-S
we've gone from 99% to 99.5%
I think linux will survive no more than 2 more years
A good number of non-cluebies have already left, if you don't believe me, lurk in #freebsd and #linux.
I think things will be really different in 2 years.
Of course, who know what'll be king in 4?

Release a BSD-licensed version, watch the hackers improve it, take their improvments, encorporate it into their own commerical product
Plus theres the big 'ol advertising clause
I've yet to see someone release a lot of code under GPL or a similar license and have it not flop.
Look at Mozilla.
GPL is good for products by individuals with low resources and little code
BSD is good for established code bases. There. Its settled. End.
I get all of that with FreeBSD. /usr/ports/graphics/gimp, iirc
Games run fine with compat.
Features? How is that different?
get your facts straight PLEASE! :P and of course the userland is the same!
why'd that get moderated down? its a good site.

None have outshined FreeBSD in quality. As an OS.
