Remember, when you buy something, you accept the sale conditions that the seller (owner or owner's agent) specifies. That's a contract between you and the seller. If that contract involves DRM, well, too bad, but remember, you are not obligated to make the purchase.
Ethical people abide by the agreements they make. When you buy music you are making agreements.
That's a pretty broad statement. What kind of detail? Are you talking spacifically about Linux (which of course is not the definition of OSS), are you talking about liability of one spacific app? What are you talking about?
I don't get OSRM at all to be honest. Is it just a ploy by PJ/Groklaw and Perens to grab some cash???
I'm not so sure about the money issue, but clearly it's good for some people's ego, and I really don't see how it's going to make much difference at this point.
All the major playas have their own indemnification, and SCO has stopped suing people anyway. Given the SCO experience, do you really think anyone else is going to cut their wrists and bleed out the same way? All IBM has to do, even to Microsoft, is whip open their patent portfolio and start beating people over the head with it.
I can get angry about it when people start suggesting that black boxes shoulld be mandatory, and that's the next logical step in this case.
Yeh, who knows! Today they want to use these things to pop people who run down and kill other people, tomorrow they'll want to plant the damn things IN OUR HEADS!
The lesson is clear: stay out of movie theaters and you won't get arrested.
The whole feel of the implied editorial of this write-up is that there is something sinister and wrong about using noght-vision scopes to catch people who bring a video cam into a theater. But remember, it is people just like this ASSHOLE who got busted, that give RAII and the motion picture Nazis the fodder to shoot down P2P. Come on, there is no legitimate "fair use" excuse for bringing a video cam into a theater and filming the movie. Exactly who is the "ass-hat" here?
"A day doesn't go by when I don't talk to a Fortune 1000 customer from the financial services market, automotives or others that are not looking at dipping their feet into the Linux desktop."
Red Hat's loss will be Novell / SuSE's gain. Just like Microsoft has "evangilists" it now seems Linux has some real ones that the big boys are listening too, also. Good. Very good. And a big "I told you so and fuck you too" to Red Hat for FLAKING OUT.
I don't have the URL but it was over a year ago that I read how Bill wanted a car imported and that it was sitting at the dock for months and months because he was not supposed to import the car. He hired a bunch of lawyers and they worked with their representative to have a law written up so Bill could get his car. The law was then tied in with some others that were sure to get passed and the whole bunch ended up going through.
There is no evidence to support this. Google shows nothing. Urban legend.

My cock is huge. I mean it's large. Very large. Some would say FUCKING HUGE. In Jr. High, the school nurse actually mouthed "shit!" when a dropped my pants for a hernia check. That, of course, was my first blow job, which ain't bad for a skinny 14 year old boy. I blew my load on the tits of her white uniform. We're talking kubasa, here, like "tube snake" doesn't even come close. I estimate we're talking about 10 pounds of meat here. My cock is just fucking huge. When a ware a Speedo, I have to tuck my cock between my butt cheeks. I'm just big as in, well, BIG down there. I've never fit it completely in a pussy, it's that big. Only like half will fit in most snatches. And my nuts, well, we're talkin' each one the size of a peach. I got big nuts. Just don't be on the receiving end when I open the flood gate and blast my load, that is, unless you like gobs and gobs of hot cream, because I shoot like a fire hose that doesn't run dry. Let me tell you. If you and me are fuckin' don't worry about lube, I supply my own, I mean that pre-cum shit? By the bucket, so when we're fuckin' be ready to get wet and wild as my huge fucking nuts slap on your as while a drill for oil. Cuz baby, my tool it HUGE!
It's very sad to say, reguardless of how many bugs pop up weekly with Windows, the fact that it costs hundreads and thousends of dollars to use means to the corporate wonks that it has value. Linux is "free" therefor is has no value.
consider the recently released PC game Painkiller that contains SafeDisc anti-copy protection. this contains a blacklist. if you have any of the blacklisted hardware/software, the game won't run
This is different. The example above is terrible. The game maker should be shot. I, however am talking about to common practice of spreading mp3s of music you ave not paid for the right to distribute. Different animal.
No, when you purchase something there is a contract, implied or otherwise. If I sell you something under an agreement that says you can use that thing a certain way, and you use it some other way, you have broaken the contract.
Not sure why the parent is modded "troll", it's true. Very soon, your phones and pdas' and quite posibbly most availuble CPUs will have DRM. The secret is, if you are not a thief, you have nothing to worry about. It's all "fun and games" untill YOUR ip is stollen, then you get bent, forgetting about all those mp3s you downloaded. What's the issue here? That you want the right to steal other peoples IP?
The key here, to not get bent all out of shape, is to understand that copyright holders have the right to dictate how their IP is used. If you buy a song, and use it in accordence to the agrement that you purchased it's use under, you should have no problems. On the other hand, if you buy it for your own use, then use some flawed logic to give it away to all your friends, well, that ain't going to fly. This is as it should be.
Your business model is corrupt and unwanted by both consumers and legitimate businesses.
The sad thing is that "legitimate businesses" use services like these, yet we still buy things from them.
Companies like this stay in business for the same reason SPAMMERS stay in business: People buy products from companies that use these "services". People. That's not just one or two rubes, that's as in MILLIONS of people.
So, where is the problem? With the advertising company OR the consumer ?
And, if you read the story, the man was convicted of killing his doughter because his trophy wife didn't like her, he barried her than dug her up and moved the body 50 miles.
While Dr. Paul Terry's comments are obviously self-serving, especially since in a way, with the Cray XD1 based on multiple AMD processors rather than proprietary Cray processors, he does have a point about the overhead of running the OS on each machine in a cluster, and the statement "The Cray XD1 is not a traditional cluster; it does not use I/O interfaces for memory and message passing semantics."
In truth, such machine will always have a certain performance advantage over traditional clusters. The question is, will the price point be low enough to invalidate the idea of just adding more boxes to the traditional cluster.

If you know you shouldn't do something because you agreed not to do that thing, if you go ahead and do it anyway, you have shitty ethics.
Enforcable or not, *YOU* *AGREED* not to circumvent the DRM. Is your word *NOT* you bond? Perhaps I don't want to do business with you...

Listen kiddo, when you pay for the phone you can bitch.
If you have teenagers, have this service BLOCKED.

Well, it's hard to respond to Anonymous Coward's. I have lots of work for Open SOurce developers. jjb@botteronet.net

Fine. Please work for me, and I'll take copies of your work and call it mine. You don't have a problem with that, do you?
So, your argument is that because OTHER people have no ETHICS, that means YOU don't have to have ETHICS either?

Not the case I would cite for this argument...
I shall bake my car in a microwave oven! Hahaaaaaa! You'll see!
Hmmm... Sandia and several other US government labs seem to think different. Exactly *what* class of computations can a linux cluster not handle?
UC Irvine
University of Cyprus
Linux supercomputer for Los Alamos
AMD Tapped for Gov. Linux Clusters
Installing, Running and Maintaining Large Linux Clusters at CERN
And more....
It's Tom's Hardware, what the Hell do you want?
