By who? People that have no involvment or pull in commercial game production? And how would that help this guy who, obviously wants to work for the likes of EA?
Making movies almost imposible or very hard to view for reviewers it's the best marketing choice.
Idiot. How would it do that? They play it on a special player. They can view it like ANY OTHER CD. Get over it, you don't have the right to buy cheap rip-offs of reviewer CDs.
Consider this: SCO and the OpenServer platform are dieing, so is this nothing more than a quick and easy cash grab for MySQL? Perhaps, but maybe there is more.
There are at least a few people still locked into the OpenServer platform, but sometime in the future, they will have to migrate to Linux after the final nail has been driven into SCO. When they eventually do migrate to Linux, they will have to make some choices as to what database to migrate to as well. Will it be Oracle? Will it be PostgreSQL? Well, if they have already beem using MySQL on OpenServer, they will probably stay with MySQL on Linux. Do you see where this is going?
MySQL signed a full-scale deal with SCO (including a joint marketing deal )... it wasn't just "porting the software". MySQL jumped into bed with them and snuggled up.
Oh, bullshit. SCO and the OpenServer platform are dieing. This was a quick cash grab and nothing more.
I think MySQL would be wise to shut up about the whole MySQL / SCO thing and hope it goes away. I can't understand why they keep talking about it, this can only hurt them.
Desperate actions of a desperate man trying desperately to stay "relevant" and in the public eye. People, it's nothing more than self promotion, and the US Attorney probably gets a shitload of wacky letters like Jacks, and has better things to do than spend much time on them. It's a publicity stunt, folks. Best thing to do? Ignore both it and Jack-O.
WHat you should be teaching your child is that when they get cought, they should simply tell whoever that they are doing "security testing". According to what I read at Slashdot, that makes it "OK".
How about as you make your call, they transmit subliminal advertising into you brain in the background? HOW ABOUT THAT? Secretly implant it into your mind WHILE YOU TALK?
Oh Jesus, give me a break. First of all, after all the fucking GRIEF that Macromedia gets from geeks over Flash, you think they give a whore's pussy fart what "geeks" want? And second, since when has a "ground swell of outcry from Linux geeks" gotten them anything but snickers? Come the fuck on.
Would you feel the same if one night you had this dream in which you solved some fundamental problems that would allow ICs to be ten times faster (or something like that), and 3 or 4 years down the road some asshole at Intel say "eureka" and comes up with the same thing? Wouldn't it have been nice for you if you had written it all down and filed a patent on it? It's always a bitch when someone else comes up with something and decides to press the issue and clean up, but sometimes "fairness" is a matter of perspective.
But remember EV1? This SCO storm will pass. What will not, and what should be more important to those who use MySCO is the InnoDB buy-out. MySQL missed that opportunity, and will pay for it. Indeed it may be their downfall. But in a few weeks, the SCO issue will have passed.
Politeness only goes so far. This man has nothing to say that Linux, Unix, or Open Source advocates need to hear. Whatever this guy has to say can't be anything but snow. When despite repeated warnings, you let some smooth talking psychotic into your home, bring you milk and cookies, and tell you a bedtime story, who is to blame when you wake up with an arm around your neck and a sharp knife in your gut? When Microsoft comes knocking, do yourself a favor and tell them to hit the road.
Slashdot Mirror
This is Slashdot. Are you new here?
I see a high school science teacher position in his future...
Exactly.
By who? People that have no involvment or pull in commercial game production? And how would that help this guy who, obviously wants to work for the likes of EA?
WOrked for him for a few years before getting a real job. He's running from the Feds in Thailand now.
You didn't work for Seth at IEG, did you?
WOuldn't it be funny if one day, only the expensive TVs will come with CRTs, what with the better colors and saturation...
Idiot. How would it do that? They play it on a special player. They can view it like ANY OTHER CD. Get over it, you don't have the right to buy cheap rip-offs of reviewer CDs.
The trick is to figure out which are "splogs" and which are "real" blogs, because both are usually crap.
True, true, but money exchanged hands here, and making money selling software is a dirty thing at Slashdot...

Have you tried AJAX as an alternative?

Apperently not before Freedom Wireless...
Not many, if they want to eat. It's only the management types that can actually fine paying jobs in OSS.
Whenever one of these guys leave MS, there is anouther fresh face right out of school with a masters in something waiting in the wings.

Browsers that don't handle JS? That's so "last century"...
