I had been looking to pick up one of these, either from ebay or the buy one get one program, if they ever started it up again to raise some money. Nevermore. Sell outs.
OK troll. First, you only have to give the source you wrote to people you distribute binaries to. No one else. Of course, they can give them to anyone they want to. Second, you don't have to give the source out to anyone at all IF you don't distribute binaries. So if it's just for in house use, you are free and clear, you don't have to give back to the people you took from.
You are lucky you posted as an AC. Who the hell would hire you if you take code without knowing even the basics of the license you got that code under ? Then you hire a lawyer who gets the basics wrong too ? Hey buddy, it would have been cheaper just to read the GPL yourself. Oh, that's the General Public License. Not "Protective". Get the basics right, then complain.
Haha....speaking of which....on linuxquestions.org I suggested to a new user, who was having trouble with hardware detection on his new slackware install, that he should try ubuntu. My undies are still warm.
The problem is that a cop investigating an ordinary crime has to sift through a very small haystack before he starts seeing some needles. With "National Security" "surveillance" they are mostly trolling ordinary people. Once they get this information on "us", they not only tend to keep it, but the powers that be almost always end up using it for their own purposes. Nixon and Hoover weren't weird aberrations (Despite the fact both were individually weird aberrations.) in American history, they are everywhere, among those who seek power in Government jobs.
What are you smoking ? I would like to thank you for an utterly wrong revisionist post. It should be modded +5 funny. Don't ever claim that Americans don't know history, not after that post. You need to learn a little history yourself.
Over on linuxquestions.org I suggested that a new user, who was using slackware and having a bit of trouble, try Ubuntu. Oh boy did the slackware fans rip me a new ass. The fans of geekier distros really really don't like Ubuntu. One guy told me to go back to windows, and all this on a site just for linux help.:)
Kubuntu for quite a while now.....because it just works....like some big monopoly used to, but better.

The drug war has been costly to the people involved, but there is no doubt that it's made a difference. As the cost for any drug goes up, it's use goes down. Without hassling suppliers, and disrupting supply to some extent, the price would continue to go down, and there is no doubt that it's use would go up. Does it stop drug use ? Nope, never will. Prohibition doesn't work either, never has, never will. I'd rather see it legalized and taxed, and the proceeds used for voluntary treatment. But don't claim the "drug war" hasn't made a difference. Look at the Economics of it. It has, it's just hard to see if you know people, users, who have been imprisoned for it. Making users the enemy has no benefits, to society, or the users themselves.
There is nothing wrong with Mom's basement. Don't put us down. Besides, I moved into the spare room upstairs last year. But do you think I could get a date now ? Damn.
Getting to "only" 30 years behind our tech puts them ahead of where they are right now. They have just popped a guy into orbit for a little while. They are somewhere in the late 50's or early 60's. Getting up to 1976 tech is quite a jump for them.
The clue train has not pulled into the yahoo station yet. They will only figure it out once yahoo is a penny stock. I figure, 7 or 8 years. I used to use yahoo email as my primary, but it's slow, and now they make you click through their home page, just for the extra hits. It's irritating. I've moved on to a gmail address. I haven't used yahoo search in years. Has anyone else here ? Yahoo got out of the auction biz a long time ago. They are giving up on the streaming music biz. What's left for them ? That makes any money I mean. Movie time look ups and games ? Personals maybe. Even there, craigslist and similar services are eating their lunch. It's only a matter of time now. The market know it, but the board ? The clue train is going to pull right through the station there, and the board will never even know it was there.
The problem isn't that anyone here gives a shit if college students download music that they haven't paid the copyright holder for. No one cares. What everyone does care about is that a business with a dying business model has bought enough congress critters to pass a law that can fuck up someones education for the sake of propping up said dying business model. If the music industry can do, so can or industry with enough money to buy off the "peoples representatives". Get a clue buddy.
They should be damn glad we don't have a modern crusade, as they sometimes accuse the west of. If there were, the only people worshoping Allah would be in Hell, or the Muslim version of it, with or without the 72 virgins.
I'm no fan of lawyers, but FYI, Shakespeare was telling us how to construct a dictatorship. First, kill all the lawyers. Second, we don't need to kill the lawyers, when the Judges we have refuse to do their jobs. One example from the mountain. A US citizen was held without being charged for over 4 years because Bush II declared him an "enemy combatant". When basic rights supposedly guaranteed to us by the constitution mean nothing to the very people who's job it is to protect them, we don't need to kill the lawyers. They are already working for the wrong side. You want an even more glaring example ? Take a look at the abuse of the commerce clause. The judicial branch has a duty to keep us safe from the other two branches of government. They don't even try. The checks and balances don't check or balance anymore, and only bad things can come of it. It's time to impeach a few Judges, but unfortunately the people who's duty it is to impeach the Judges are the same people who don't want their abuse of Authority to end. Summary, we're screwed.
I want Linux to succeed. That means I want some companies to develop for Linux. If they take the trouble to put out a Linux version, and it works, I don't mind giving them my money. In the end, it'll only help people move to Linux, and hurt the install base that is the biggest club of a certain predatory convicted monopolist. I do prefer OSS, but I also believe that everyone has a choice to make, and sometimes, propritary software is a valid choice. People have the right to write closed source software, and other people have the right to buy it. It's their money.

Yes they are stupid enough. I still don't think they did though. The Republicans know that the only way they are getting reelected is if they can run against HRC. They are the kind of folks who would rig an election, despite the fact dead people vote Democrat by a 10 to 1 margin.
The same FBI that couldn't put together an email system in 2 years with a few hundred million bucks. The good news is BIG BROTHER isn't competent, the bad news is that he has no idea he isn't competent. The big problem with that is that he carries a gun, and because the people he deals with on a regular basis are the only people in the world even more brutally stupid than he is, he never figures out he's a little slow.
If it can be abused it will be. I bet the false positive ratio will be greater than 1000 to 1 with this baby. It won't catch many, if any, bad guys, but it will result in countless innocent people being "interviewed" by Bubba the $9 an hour security guard at the airport.
Good luck with that. Time to leave the USA. The fascists have won.

"There is no there there." Why post it at all ? Shouldn't the editors read the stories before putting them on the front page ?
Every once in a while on linuxquestions.org someone will ask where they can help out. Might be a good place to start.

For a lucky few of us, it won't matter if it's cloudy then or not. I'll be flying between ALT and CHI then. :)

That's "inmates" buddy. Still applies in this case though.
Ben Franklin said that those who trade liberty for safety deserve neither. The fascists have won. We elected them. It's our own damn fault.

Yeah, but does it run on Linux ? Anyone know if said software will end up on your linux box ?
