Yeah, you think you can write anything stupid because you think no french-speaking person ever read Slashdot?
Well, you must be the moron. It is not even French, it is a ridiculous translation from a read bad translator.
You must have a lot of time to loose to insult Mandrake developpers and users in a language you obviously don't understant. I speak French (way better than Englis) and your post is real hard to understand.

Ouais, tu crois que tu peux ecrire n'importe quoi d'idiot parce que tu crois que personne qui lit Slashdot ne sait lire le francais?
Eh bien, tu dois etre epais. Ce n'est meme pas du francais, c'est une traduction ridicule d'un tres mauvais traducteur.
Tu dois avoir beaucoup de temps a perdre pour insulter les developpeurs et les usagers de Mandrake dans une langue que tu ne comprend evidemment pas. Je parle francais (beaucoup mieux que l'anglais) et ton message est tres difficile a comprendre.
I don't see why this article made the Slashdot 1st page...
Because programmers didn't talk to each other much, XP stipulates that they work in pairs. Because programmers didn't talk to the client much, XP stipulates they have a client embedded in the team. Because programmers didn't test that much, XP stipulates that tests must be written before the code.
It's an over-simplification of eXtreme Programming as I knew it. But no matters what the project's methodology you're using, they're will always be somebody (especially programmers because they've got to work in it) that won't like it.
Even if it is not perfect (and nothing is), XP is putting in front of us a lot of good ideas. Working by pairs is reducing errors before testing. There's also a "40 hours limit" (or 32?) of work by week in order to remain more effective. But maybe your boss forgot this part;)
The open-source movement is a communist affront to capitalism and should not be allowed to interfere in the profitable business of proprietary software. He thereby implies that it is un-American to support the open-source movement.
This is one of the most stupid thing I've ever read!
Did this guy ever read Alexis deTocqueville about the union of people for their common interest in the beginning of the USA?
Coors Light as already done it in Quebec. When you opened a "satellite Coors Light can", the Coors Light crew rushed to you your house to give you a home theater system!
I think the major reason for NDA in start-ups is because of the vulnerability of them.
When you start a company, you need to build the whole enterprise-system (I don't talk about the ERP, but the "how the company work). So you are not as quick as a well established enterprise. So you may not be able to move fast enough to counter-attack if somebody is trying to copy you. So you need to protect yourself.
It's funny 'cause I had this kind of discussion with co-students about the pros/cons of Microsoft versus their competitors.
And we came to the conclusion that one strength of Microsoft is their simple, easy to use GUI. It's true. If you are a total newbie to computers, you can work your way in Windows in a matters of minutes, and so come Office and Explorer.
Microsoft is trying to get the non-technical computers users (about 80% of the market) when the others company who makes great products are trying to get the technicals ones. (the other 20%). It seems like they've read this book about the 80/20...
On an other side, if my mom buy a computer with Windows pre-loaded, she will never ever think about switching to Linux. If IE is the default browser, then she'll never think about installing Mozilla or Opera. So, I guess that if her homepage is MSN Search, then she'll search with MSN Search...
Nevertheless, I personnaly prefers non-Microsoft products even if I have no choice but to use them (you know, theses old good compatibility issues).
Or as to how long before the RIAA starts buying off memebers of Canada's parliment, the way that they buy our Senators and Representatives?
It's gonna be difficult since Jean Chretien (Canada PM) is pushing for a law that would allow only contributions from individuals to politicals party with a maximum per person like the "Loi sur le financement des partis politiques" in Quebec. So with this law, no corporation or association can contribute to any political party.
is that legal to block radio frequency? Isn't it the same problem that movie theaters came across when they wanted to block cell phones' frequency but they can't because of the law?
You're right! Why a DDOS? Come on, if you shut them up, we won't be able to read their "oh so bright" allegations. They won't give us their information that help us to discover that they don't have a case...
My favorite ( from newsforge) is: What people don't understand, McBride insists, is that SCO's legal actions aren't just about SCO's IP, Unix, and the GPL anymore, it's a broader issue that includes music, video, and anything that can be digitized and distributed on the Net. To McBride, the real issue is "the future of IP rights in the 21st century."
Any corporation basing it's infrastructure on Open Source got the potential to help the OSS community.
Think about it. Many corporations need to make changes to some of the software they got to fit their needs. If they are making modifications to an OSS, it'll still be an OSS (if it was licensed with GPL), so it'll be available to the OSS community.
That's a lot of difference with the MSoft "Shared Source". But that's also a difference with ERP like SAP who allows you to change the source code, but doesn't allow and/or force you to release it...
So, corporations may be good to OSS, because they could make changes that may seems trivials to free developers but that may be useful to corporations.
What if the code was "copied" (if it was) in ANOTHER country (not USA) who has other laws? Would it makes it different under the law? If the code was copied in a country with permissives copyright law?
Maybe I'm all wrong, maybe the code was written/transfered/copied in USA too... IANAL obviously... But I would like to know!
By the way, if SCO wins their case (I doubt it, but if...) how would it affects Linux in other countries (such as Canada or European countries)?
The blackout began at ~4:15pm. The second satellite image is 7 hours after the blackout. So, it's ~11:15pm (approx). Maybe there was only less light at ~11:15pm because much more people are sleeping and people close the lights when they are sleeping?
but blackouted! Because, for me the page is loading in normal times. Maybe some packets will take a more long route to go around NYC blackout. (Where I suppose many routers are down)
Yeah, but there is a point I want to share and tell me if I'm right ('cause maybe I'm wrong).
In Canada, where I live, the water level in the St-Lawrence river is now lower than it was 10 years ago. It's becoming a problem since boats may not be able to reach Montreal in a couple of years if the current trend keep going.
It seems like there's the same problem in Northen Canada. So, what's happening? Is that because 90% of a floating ice mass is behind the water level and when it melts it's reducing water level?
Yeah, actually Microsoft bought a license from SCO a couple of months ago... Remember?
Anyway, if Microsoft bought SCO's Linux License, how many Linux Computers do you think they have? Maybe 2 or 3 for the programmers to look up and to try to understand why it's so good!
The major difference between Frenchs and Quebecers is in the accent.
The written French is the same. By the way, we used the same dictionnaries, i.e. "Larousse" and "Petit Robert". So, with many countries using the same dictionnaries...
Some expressions are quite differents but it's often in the "street" langage. The correct French is often the same.
This may be also because of the "Office de la Langue Francaise", a public administration that decide what is French and what is not...
Slashdot Mirror
You think that it is a bad experience?
.PDF
I actually had a teacher in Project Management that made is entire course in PowerPoint and then transfered the PowerPoint into
Ouch, I don't even have the option to add my comments or to only print the slides I want.
And don't think he put it in a 3 slides per page format... No, he used the 1 slide per page...
My printer is on the burn-out since this...

Nah! There is the real reason:
Somebody discover that "Tania, 21 yo, bisexual and horny" was in fact a man...
They were so sad, they shut off all the servers...
I don't see why this article made the Slashdot 1st page...

This is one of the most stupid thing I've ever read!
Did this guy ever read Alexis deTocqueville about the union of people for their common interest in the beginning of the USA?
Did McBride ever read what Eric Raymond think about communism? HEY MCBRIDE, READ THAT LINK: http://www.firstmonday.org/issues/issue4_11/raymo
Did he only knows what communism IS?
br> Did he knows that democracy is a matter of choice?
Please, Mr McBride, if you want to tell these things, come to the "Just for Laugh" festival here in Montreal, i'm sure you'll fit right in!
It was already done.

Are they accepting applications??

Yes, but only if you play hockey!

Is that what we call an Ego-Trip?
- It also required every unpatched MSWindows PC to report itself to MS. MS might be able to use that information.
; en-us;823980
I don't think so, since you can download the patch without going on WindowsUpdate, it's available at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb
I think SCO is from the beginning barely coherent.
They try too many different ways to be coherent. Their strategy look like duck hunting with an AK47.

Maybe because he wants, like most of us, Linux to have a larger utilisation in a business environment.
It's still the best diploma in management. So, if he knows how a business work, maybe I'll be a lot more helpful in bringing Linux to the enterprise!
What if the code was "copied" (if it was) in ANOTHER country (not USA) who has other laws? Would it makes it different under the law? If the code was copied in a country with permissives copyright law?
Maybe I'm all wrong, maybe the code was written/transfered/copied in USA too... IANAL obviously... But I would like to know!

What's gonna make you laugh your head out every morning if you can't read SCO's lawyers daily joke? ;)
If GPL is invalid (what I don't believe), so SCO lawyers must be having this conversation!:
Lawyer1-Hey! Linux is copyrighted, you can't distribute copies of it.
Lawyer2-Yeah, as a German company, we will tell to USA what are their laws!
PHB-But wait, we distributed Linux...
Lawyer1- Is it too late to stop the press release?
Lawyer2- Yes...
Lawyer1- Irsshh... I hope Torvald and the FSF won't sue us...
Yeah, but there is a point I want to share and tell me if I'm right ('cause maybe I'm wrong).

Whoa, it's quite complicated for you, English-speaking poeple, try only to be in my shoes. I'm a Quebecer, French-speaking as my native langage.
;)
I learnt English over the years with teachers telling me to write "colour" or "flavour" while others telling me to write "color" and "flavor".
Flavour/flavor................. as long as it means "saveur"
