The old testament is more like a "dont do these things" text. I think it is there more as of a "now you can see why God can't just tell you what not to do".
And if you read it closely enough, I believe you will find they have much the same message, underneath.
The freedom that is meant to be protected is to keep some business from taking all the hard work of those "overzealous" Linux people, using it, without upholding their part of the bargain.
Yes, that is correct. And what is their part of the bargain?
To redistribute back to the rest of the people who have made modifications to Linux the changes they have made.
Hmmm. I wonder if they have? I suppose someone ought to find out.
I disagree, it is not sociallist. It is a barter system. Programmer X trades code snippet with Programmer Y with the terms that Y trades back with X. Now scale that up with lots of developers all trading.

Dont know if it is authoritative or not, but it basically matches my understanding.
The speed of the air at the compressor face is an issue for all supersonic aircraft, not just the mach 3 variety.
No turbine, "supercruise" or not, can handle supersonic airflow thru the engine. The largest responsibility for reducing the speed of the air is the intake. The spikes, ramps, internal shapes or whatnot are designed to either divert or slow supersonic air so that the engine can handle it.
IANAAE.
How about just plain justice without bringing in the whining pro MS BS.
Did they break the law?
Answer that question and only that question. The rest is sophistry.
If other companies do it in the same circumstances, then the same penalties ought to be due. No favoritism.
I dont understand. Why are you guys so pro MS? What have they done for you ever? They have, for as long as I have been watching, been pushing everything as far as they can take it. They have to be in every market niche, they have to fud existing products with their lame "we will have a version of that out soon!", never mind that they dont and wont for a long time. It's like no one else is allowed to live. Kind like Zurg in Buzz Lightyear, "all MS all the time!".
Hi, I'm a successfull, aggressive company, and this here is my persuader ( say "hi" to the gun ).
I just break the law here and there, but since I can afford the best of lawyers ( Hey! OJ! How you doin! ) I dont get punished, really.
It's just being aggressive, right?
Now, those 7/11 clerks I use the gun on, they didnt have to give me anything. They had a choice! Come on now! Nobody has to give me money, and they never have had to give it to me.
Be a successfull, aggressive company WITHIN the bounds of moral actions and the law, and your point is well taken. As it is, you need to wake up and look at things better.
Remember early Win95? Remember the UAE? Well, they got rid of that, didnt they? How was that again? Oh yeah, they renamed it to the GPF. So, that was a big improvement, right?
Remember the days when ATM's were bright shiny new? Then came some interoperability, and some token fees. What happened to the fee's then? They went up. Revenue. Not many companies ignore a revenue source. And many know one when they see it.
My point? Simply this. That penny fee will go up, after some period of time.
But just because:
MS has a long long history of not being trustworthy.
So, yeah, I would question why they were nursing the sick puppies and handing out the money.
If they were to mend their ways and behave decently, and continue to do so, I will change my mind about them. Not until.
IANAM ( I am not a mathematician ), but if you have the hashes for the "hidden" code, it seems to me that you could throw the linux code at it and see if you got matches in significant numbers. If you got matches, something in the back of my head is telling me that ( with some effort ), you could use that to back figure. Certainly, brute force, you could throw random 5 line code fragments at the algorithm, look for matches, and reverse things. Screensaver anyone?

Ritalin is very capable of being abused, and ADHD is, I have heard ( before this post, even ), is massively overdiagnosed.
That said, ADHD does exist, and ritalin can be effective in helping treat it, if it is *truely* the issue, and in as low a dose as is effective, and then, only temporarily.
I grew up with ADHD. I took ritilin early on to help me focus, and according to my Mom and grade school teachers it worked ( one of my teachers thought I should be institutionalized, either I had it bad, or she was impatient, maybe both.. ) Realize this was in the late 60's early 70's, and it was not as common as today to diagnose someone ADHD.
Lucky for me, my Mom had some sense, and did not keep me drugged up all of the time. During the school year, she made sure I took the medicine, in as low a dose as was effective, in order to help me in dealing with learning, school, other kids, etc, etc. ( you need someone to monitor you, I had *no* idea how I was doing... ) Off times ( and I think weekends ), I was off the medicine, in order to help me to learn to deal with how I was. I thank God every day she did.
A crutch is a good thing, but becoming reliant on it will not do you good long term. IHMO, you will do yourself a big favor if you get to where you can cope without.
I now work as a programmer, and, I think, not too bad a one. I have taken on tech lead type positions as well, and I think I have been moderately successfull in that as well. I have a family and kids, and life is pretty normal for me.
AFA differences between me and my coworkers and being effective on the job, I have always found that my thought processes were different than the "normal" people around me. I dont know if that is a result of ADHD, or just how I would have been without. I find that there is no real/marked qualitative or quantitative difference in my thinking, just different, I find that I am able to function in the same league as the best of the developers I find myself working with. I write bugs just like everyone else, find and fix them like others, function in archetechtural discussions like others.
I work at a small ( about 5 devs ) company, and one of the projects I have worked on was a facility to update the code OTA. We recognized that we would need to be able to deal with the concept of prerequisites ( dont install B unless A is present ). And we did it.
Forgoing all the above, Why should the end user be responsible for parsing the prereqs and figuring out what goes first? Why should you have to control the order?
A big "world class" software developement organization, full of "the best" people couldnt do better?
I'm as tired of the "microsoft can do no wrong" as I am of the "microsoft can do no right".

But what if (x) modifies itself?
To wit: isdigit( c++ )
Then (x) is (c++), and the expansion is
( (c++) >= '0' && (c++) = '9' )
Clearly isdigit will be buggy, appearing to work most of the time, but failing under certain cases.
So, Linus is correct, in fact, although he might have misstated precisely why.
Add to the above:
Neither side can mention anything related to the case in the press or other public forum until the case is settled, including appeals.
But have they ( has the vendor done the validation )? I think there is a question on either models part of how well tested and validated the software is. You cant know, unless you perform your own validation.

All the above is very true.
The thing missed is that they have *all* that with the version that they are selling, also.
Man, you missed it!

Yes, that is what it is meant to do.
What freedom?
OK, go ahead.

On the XB-70 ( compression lift is discussed )
The wing tips fold down as part of how the compression lift is "captured" under the aircraft.
No turbine, "supercruise" or not, can handle supersonic airflow thru the engine. The largest responsibility for reducing the speed of the air is the intake. The spikes, ramps, internal shapes or whatnot are designed to either divert or slow supersonic air so that the engine can handle it. IANAAE.
MS has had a cobol compiler for quite some time.
Nothing innovative here, just one more market to squash.

is that when the DOJ went against IBM, they seems to back away from the tactics that brought the suit against them. MS didnt.
I work at a small ( about 5 devs ) company, and one of the projects I have worked on was a facility to update the code OTA. We recognized that we would need to be able to deal with the concept of prerequisites ( dont install B unless A is present ). And we did it.
Forgoing all the above,
Why should the end user be responsible for parsing the prereqs and figuring out what goes first? Why should you have to control the order?
A big "world class" software developement organization, full of "the best" people couldnt do better?
I'm as tired of the "microsoft can do no wrong" as I am of the "microsoft can do no right".
What was Project Monterey, and what could IBM possibly have stolen from that project?
Also, it seems that the timing is way off. When was Project Monterey, and when did the improvements to Linux happen?
6,200@23 Knots, according to warships1.com ( make sure your popup blocker is ON ).
Also, note the same site reports that her top speed is currently only about 18 to 20 kts.
That may be why she is for sale, hard to run ops at that speed. And maybe it fell some more due to mechanical difficulties.
