heres a thought. in the event of an absence of money for software, people LEARN to use linux and develope the skills themselfs.
i mean fuck come on people, you only need to run knoppix or something to see it's NOT THAT HARD. and when faced with any other option due to finacial pressures i'm bloody sure they will use it.
mind you this is all assuming they aren't just priating the shit out of MS products, which is more then likely. so i guess like it or not bill your donating to africa *grin*
CEO's are typically the most dense person in the company, their days comprise of meeting other dense CEO's and thinking up clever schemes like trusted computing, and help boost their self denial about the world at large.
pure an simple. he has more money then he knows what to do with. 15mill is a lot to you and me but to him, he'd blow that on a 1 week holiday. he donated the money as a tax break, and probably to help boost his ego and get them to show off MS stuff in the museum.
HA! ABC can sell to who ever they want, and if that means selling directly to consumers and it works then why not. there are parallels althrough industry where this happens, yet media companys think they are special some how? they can be pissed off all they want, who cares, that business evolve and compet or die.
oh and ABC isn't bypassing anything. the local afflicates still go to air the show first, and we could see it for free vs the $1.99 on itunes, so your arguement just doesn't stand up at all. no what this bitching is about is they feel threatened, because it's giving people what they want, not whats good for their business. ABC has done nothing even remotely underhanded.
it's comments like this that betray these media companys for the blood sucking parasites they really are. a comparable example would be dell asking walmart if it's ok for them to sell a new low budget computer, just in case they might be under cutting walmart and hurting their business.
it's incredable these people haven't be investigated for anti competitive behaviour yet.
depending on the licensing issues which the parent probably doesn't understand they could or they couldn't. the gpl is very bad for "infecting" programmers like that. i'm sure it'd be very grey ground to look at gpl'd code in order to write say a bsd version.
and naturally they shall be completely ignored. if these policies were adopted you would see a swing back to how capitalism really should be. all about servicing the people and using demand for services to drive innovation and competition.
all you have to do is meet a couple of stoners to see there is no correlation between dope smoking and increased brain activity. all the dopers you will ever meet are boring, no good losers who think of nothing but scoring more dope to make them even bigger losers.
and before you swam me with all kinds of examples, sure some people were cone heads and did great things, but think of how much more they could have done without the imparment of smoking dope.
call me crazy but i thought only inventioins were able to be patented. simplely dicovering something which has existed for millions of years isn't an invention. what do they plan to do with it anyway, try charge me $100 because i have blue eyes and they have patented the gene for blue eyes?
well, they CAN try...
i guess on a long shot they can patent a certain method of manupliating genes or something, or a METHOD of discovery, but not the genes or their use of them. i mean seriously i'm using them right now, are they going to try tell me it's due to their patent?
you patent system has gone insane, write to your senators, call them and pressure them.remind them who they fucking work for.
address's are nothing to do with numbers, asshat.
yyyy-mm-dd is THE ISO date standard, and no matter how much in denial you are your still wrong. maybe you shouldn't open your big mouth about things you have no clue about and you won't look like such a loser next time.
obviously these microchip companys are infringing on these authors precious copyright, and are selling huge numbers of chips using thier creations. there should be an immdeiate compensation of 99% of the takings from all previous microchip sales and a future tax of 50% on all chips sales since they are obviously being used to infringe copyrighted works
say what you like about MS, but they ARE a key player in the IT world and if they have any plans to try infect, sorry i mean intergrate with POSIX systems it'd be intresting to hear.
naturally everything will be taken as a grain of salt. lets be realistic here this guy is only in the position because he has some street cred. but he will still be spouting a marketing deparment written speech.
i have never seen that attitude (well only from some idiots, but i don't count them). Some times OSS goes down because developers dont' have time for it anymore, and people understand that. it's not like someone else can't take over and create a fork.
see here is where you engineers totally don't understand about software design. You get to extend projects time spans to fit your saftey concerns.if a bridge isn't stable or unfinished you just get to say so and the project will continue until it is so.
try telling your manager that your not sure your new email client project is secure and that you want more time to test it. see how far you get. THAT is why there is no parallel between civil engineering and software design.
this whole fucking debate is about targeting OSS imho. shit like this will destroy all the non funded open source projects, many of them quite worthy. and not because they are bug filled or bad, but just because they won't be able to take the legal vultures circling them.
hah oh yeah you can bet they will, if those scums bags literally chase an ambulance think how much of a gift places like security focus will be to them.
yes, because such litigation has worked SO WELL for the medical profession, you should be sueing people more often! who the FUCK runs around prompting MORE litigation!
honestly fucktards like this get me worked up because due to who ever they have blown, they have a high public position and it makes them think they have a single shred of intellegence.
"security" consultants always seem to be the WORST at it as well, so ready to point out everyone elses failings, but when something goes wrong they are working on you will see the 101 excuses book come out.

they don't have anymoney to pay for it.

this isn't anything new, just a seperate microsoft implmentation. shared source, many strings attached. move along nothing to see here
what besides the fact it very often fucks up and your computer won't resume?

what kind of useless bastard reposts old old trolls like this one. what a crock of shit.

typically they just look at the specs and write their own version. it's perfectly legal to do so.
and naturally they shall be completely ignored. if these policies were adopted you would see a swing back to how capitalism really should be. all about servicing the people and using demand for services to drive innovation and competition.
ironic how its called the "fact" book. as soon as some starts going on about facts, you can be sure they are not so.
and before you swam me with all kinds of examples, sure some people were cone heads and did great things, but think of how much more they could have done without the imparment of smoking dope.

you only have to create the account once, and gaim logs you in. it's fucking easy. i have people on both and it never bothers me.
