As a woman I resent your implication. And you get modded up as +5 Insightful? Are you guys living in the 1950? Women can do the same tasks as men, usually better.
People who intend to profit are inherently evil. That is why we don't like MBA's. We prefer those who produce for love and ideals like cooperation and the good of the community, not purely profit.
It is of zero help. Bug reports should be as concise and as specific as possible. A bug that reports "memory mangement issues" should be rejected out of hand.
They also shouldn't be mixed in with silliness about the perceived inferiority of a particular OS or application.
Michael, posting nonsensical bugs to buzilla doesn't help us any. Your report is completely unclear and seems to be driven by some hidden agenda. I would ask you to refrain from posting such issues, unless you have a clear and sane purpose. Obviously, as I mentioned on Bugzilla, if you open a lot of windows in any app - it will crash when resources are exhausted. The operating system (any OS) may become unstable as well. Thats just the way it is. It is not any different in Firefox.
What about the fact that Linux becomes unstable under the same tests? I am guessing we should ignore that because as we all know Linux is good and "M$ Windoze" is bad.
Hi, we will be publishing our findings an the Physical Review journal in an article entitled "Additional Evidence of Nuclear Emissions During Acoustic Cavitation" this month. Look forward to it, it is exciting stuff!!!
Paying you off? I am not saying they should pay you off and take the code and not "give back". I am saying they should kick in a bit of money into OSS so the projects don't need to ask for Paypal donations to survive.
Also, you are confusing OSS with the GPL as usual.
For the record, I think its a very good discussion of the topic. You can disregard the comments of the GNOME guy - he is just grumpy because KDE is getting attention.
Oh, I am not saying they have an OBLIGATION to - but that is how OSS is supposed to work right? The funny thing is I don't see any significant portion of that $1 BILLION being fed back into the "community". I do see the CEO of IBM getting $47.4 million in compensation last year though! Meanwhile the OSS projects are scraping by with their Paypal links, asking for donations from the "community".
I am just warning the young programmers against getting included in such a ridiculous effort as OSS. The execs at Redhat and IBM are laughing themselves silly while raking in the millions. They cannot believe that they actually, finally, got the people to work for the corporations for free! It is an executives dream!
Maybe the CEO of IBM can kick in some of the $51.5 MILLION DOLLARS in bonuses and options he received last year to compensate these people. What do you think of that idea?
Mark me as a troll (as usual), but isn't that how its supposed to work in OSS land? The corporations benefit from this work and therefore offer financial support? It is in their best interests after all.
Wait, people volunteer to work on software that corporations make billions of dollars off of, like IBM and Redhat? Can't they at least kick in a living wage for the poor guy that is doing the testing for a product they offer? Isn't that how its supposed to work? Or not?
How much do these positions pay? After all, KDE is an integral part of most Linux desktop systems, therefore there must be tremendous support for this from the commercial Linux providers (Redhat, IBM, etc). After all, IBM claims to have made over a billion dollars off of linux last year. So how much are they kicking in?
The advent of "just good enough" OSS software does incalcuable damage to the commercial software industry. Professional programmers who use or contribute to OSS are committing professional suicide and limiting the opportunities of future programmers.
I am glad I already made my money in the software biz. It is going to start to get ugly in that field, if it hasn't already.
In other news:
-SCO claims that Defender contains their IP.
-M$ wrote a Defender clone but it kept crashing.
-Is Defender Open Source?
-Can I run Defender on Linux?
-Is Defender compatible with the GPL?
Yes! Lets put all of those commercial software companies out of business! That will teach all those greedy programmers a lesson! Don't they know they should be working for free?
Slashdot Mirror
MIT and CIT have also announced their licensing of the IP.
No, these licensees are new and were announced yesterday.
I was just joking. Except for the part about not hiring you because you program in Python.
As a woman I resent your implication. And you get modded up as +5 Insightful? Are you guys living in the 1950? Women can do the same tasks as men, usually better.
Actually, I was being sarcastic but got modded up as "Interesting". I'll bet if I actually gave my real opinion I would get marked as a "Troll".
If that is true, I apologize. I didn't see that in the 10Q.
Thanks

This is most likely a faked memo. Any sort of influx of that amount of funds would need to be reported in their 10Q - which SCO has not done.
So either SCO has committed a major SEC violation, or the memo is a fake. I am betting on the latter.
From your web page:

"I want to shoot whoever designed them."
Prone to violence.
"He (and I highly doubt it's a "she") seems to be under the impression that the job of a phone ring is to force you to pay attention to the phone."
Sexist!
"Just now as I write, I looked and the phone doesn't even have a "Do Not Disturb" button that would force the call into voice mail"
Anti-social.
Also a Python programmer.
Recommendation: No hire.

Yes, everyone loves "free" (as in beer). Not good for the industry though.
I would like free dental and medical care as well. A free car would be great. A free house. Its funny no one offers these things.

In other words, those other technologies are designed to work with real devices that people may actually want to use.
Our technology on the other hand works great in the lab! Another grant please.
