Interesting point, maybe it is time for Linux and all the projects around it (GNU, X, etc) to set a standard. Maybe we will call it the GPL, and everyone should use it.
Actually, you are right, too many licenses. I think a successful linux software company in todays world should stick with GPL. Why not, even IBM, Microsoft, etc are wanting to make money on services not software.
Maybe UnitedLinux or the like should have done something similar. To be the official X server you must be GPL, to be the official desktop you must be GPL, to be the official 'whatever' you must be GPL. Would such an idea work with the current players? Could you say Gnome, Apache, Redhat, KDE, whoever, in order to be Linux you must be GPL.
I know this is mixing some apples and some oranges, but there should be a marketing technique for Linux and the things around it, not just tech this tech that.
Choice is good, but we shouldn't shot our own foot.
Wow, the fate of the world depends on one guy getting some sleep. GPL the code and it will be done tonight! Have a good night Icculus, for I am clueless.
When the book was published I heard alot of talk about the author. I personally never knew anything about him until this book (well I heard in passing he created Mathimatica). I am no expert in the field, but the book was still an interesting read. I do not believe a million pages were necessary to express what he is saying. If you read the first half of the book you will get the point of what is saying. Then use the other half to heat your house for the rest of the winter. He did talk about himself alot in the book, which I did not appreciate. It is a "BIG" book. Note to author -- Let history make you famous, grrrr. Now Google is going to index this book and see how he refers to himeself a million times and get ranked number one for the given topic.
Looks like someone knocked on the wrong port. I believe the idea is to hit a few different ports and then go the secretly opening door. However the technique known as "slashdotting" where the sequence looks sort of like

I agree with "American AC in Paris", I use to live in Garbage Grove and while I never went to the local cyber bars, I would hear about them on the news when the local high school gang bangers would fight each other or worse. If you are worried about being seen, don't go out in public. I don't see how video taping someone in a public place is a violation of my safety circle. More things go on at the cyber cafe then surfing porn sites.

I wonder who it could be? Microsoft? Apple? Linux users from Mars:)
Who said programmers where Nike. Also "reap what you sow", come on; we don't farm either. You might be correct that America does some things wrong, but not everyone here does. Last time I checked, he who is without sin casts the first stone. I assume your country is perfect?
I am not knocking outsourcing, but everyone country should look internally first, and I agree, American companies only care about the bototm line. That needs to change.
OK, I am sure there are intelligent people working at microsoft. I do not use windows (except for gaming), and I am tired of seeing of the problems. Anyone who has been in a decent computer science program or has experience knows better on coding. I know linux is alot more secure so why can't they get it right? Who is leading them? I bet the help desk workers at MS are pushing the bugs into production so they can justify their existence. I mean this has to cost them alot of money (even after recoping tech support to fix their own errors), fix things already.
I have already been working on a distributed text editor called Panopticon, I know I didn't release any files yet, but it has been around a while.
Panopticon on Sourceforge
Like others have said this has been done like in emacs to some extent.
My view is to build programming practices into the editor and cvs support (which I am almost done with). This was meant to be a tool for developers/admins to help each other without having to see each other in person. However the editor had to have intelligence to support the correct context of the development environment and data (binary,xml,text,etc). Also had to have locking so people can edit together in real time and diffing (all the reason for rccs and cvs support in the editing process).
It is really hard to make money in open source for lone developers sometimes.
Oh well good luck.

I don't need broadband Internet (I use DSL),???
I thought DSL was broadband?
