All that says is that IBM says it has no formal "agreements or arrangements" with Groklaw. Of course Microsoft has no formal "agreements or arrangements" with SCO either.
Just because your little sister is your Linux brainchild, doesn't mean that ANYONE should be forced to use something they're not comfortable with.
If learning to clicky on an icon on a Linux desktop instead of a Windows desktop is an issue, than Steamboat Springs has a lot more problems than just their IT structure. And, if part or their job is learning a new application (based on Linux), than YES, they be forced to use it, or find another job.
Face it, before Windows, people in business and government used ALL SORTS of funky non-GUI hard to use applications, and many still do. What's the big deal about moving to a Linux based desktop? Seriously, people that can't understand RedHat Enterprise WS4 desktop or whatever the latest SuSE offering is, shouldn't be touching computers. This is ***VERY*** simple stuff.
You know as well as I do that this isn't so. All of their activities work to show that GWB should not have been elected. Sure, they have been careful not to say this, but it's the little secret we all know. LETS BE HONEST, to insist that t this is not so is disingenuous.
And of course there will be restrictions on what ad programs you can use on your pages (Google only, that sort of thing). And, there will probably be zero scripting support... But hey, it's free...
If the companies where once "Open Source", can the source for the last available version be used as a new starting point? So these companies get "gobbled up", it doesn't mean the stuff they already put out automatically becomes closed. If there is really an "Open Source" following for a particular application, there will be a new fork.
The AG is New York (Eliot Spitzer) seems keen on these sorts of things... Whenever some huge consumer action comes up, his name is usually someplace around.
Yes, Google is about profit, but I feel that Google as a company realizes that doing the right thing (whatever that may be) is better for business long-term...
The [primary] purpose of any publicly traded company like Google, is to increase shareholder value. The only way to do this is to maximize profit. Please be informed that Google is not in the charity business.
Is this some sort of sage knowledge that you are imparting? Some nugget that dropped from a spaceship into your back yard?
That's just an asinine (and what a cliché, as well!) answer and the one that is at the root of why Enterprise will never move to applications like this without a solid commercial fork that comes with support. At which point, cost wise, they have no incentive to migrate away from proprietary. My company flies air planes, we are not in the business of PBX development, nor are we in the business of writing drivers for common peripherals.

You do realize that "Open Source" is more than that nifty FireFox browser and Apache web server... Right?
Because the truth is, as long as they where making MONEY on Enron, they where perfictly happy. Wall Street folks are basically whores in $2000 suites.
Sounds like bullshit to me.

I agree, I think they are spot-on correct. But to say the are not partisan is silly, it just isn't true.

It's a terrorist plot.

That's exactly the idea. AOL wants out of the dial-up business.
Order happy meal first. Big mac later.Good starting point for a haiku. Work on it.
Yes, you are.
I wouldn't be surprised if buying too many parts and Radi Sack will get you an FBI investigation...
I saw that film. Quite disgusting.

Don't feel bad, I couldn't remember it exactly as well, had to look it up!

What hasn't been reported is that Google aquired OSTG a year ago as part of its public relations arm...
