Why is this marked as a troll? In my experience with schools, this is how they act. Even though the job of a school is to educate you and prepare you for your life in the future, some of the most common punishments do the exact opposite.
What you're talking about isn't a restriction in the BSD license; It's a freedom. Now it sucks that Nokia closed the license on the modifications / additions that they made, but if you get the original BSD licensed souce it's still open.
Do you have any idea what things were like before all of these vaccines were around? People used to die from this type of crap left and right. I think a few cases of autism or whatever other side-effect are a decent trade-off for being able to put these illnesses at bay. Those who aren't inoculated don't just put themselves at risk, they put others at risk too by helping this crap spread.
While that might not be all that important, I am curious as to whether it's possible to get it to sync with linux and OS X. The next phone I get I'd like to be able to sync without being forced to use Outlook.
Hmm, that's a very good point. Leaving out the problem of patent infringement, etc. I think it would be much smarter for Apple to implement the DirectX API than the Win32 API. Most applications are either available for or have suitable (sometimes better) replacements on the Mac platform. Gaming is where it really falls behind right now. If Apple could get the gamers moving over to OS X (maybe find a way to optimize their implimentation so games ran faster?) then that would be a huge win.
Well, don't forget that he's calling for a new kernel here as well. Maybe he's thinking that this kernel would support the loading of Windows binaries?
I definitely have to disagree there. While it's not an every day occurrence, I definitely hear people who have been hit by malware ask about Apple computers. It's probably not a huge reason people switch, but it's definitely still a reason.
Interesting... in a bad way. I was under the impression that any 16 bit support was going to be handled by WOW or a similar system. All of this legacy code that's floating around in windows can't be doing a lot of good. It's no surprise to me that Vista is taking so long to develop, mostly due to what they're building on.

Same old stuff as far as technology goes maybe, but the intent behind it is completely new. People are figuring out new ways to use the web. That's what Web 2.0 is all about. Hell, some web sites are even coming out with their own API's now. Where would you have seen that before now?
While I agree that XP was a large step up from 9x, I can still name a lot of problems in XP. For one, horrible security which is partly due to software vendors, but is still mostly Microsoft's fault. Also, they added a lot of different places for software to hide itself that weren't in 9x. Logging is absolutely abysmal. The UI is disgusting and childish (why is a puppy telling me where my files are in a "professional" OS?). I could keep going for a while on this one, but I think I've made my point well enough for anyone willing to listen.

Their former legal advisor is, however, part of the party. I'd imagine there's something of a connection there.
Possibly if we were talking about copyright, but we're not. We're talking about trademark.

No kidding. It seems like such a useful technology yet no-one seems to be putting it to use.

I'm curious; what are you using to have your spam mail automatically fed to blue security?

Nice. Very nice.
Well, I guess if this happens it will finally answer the question of whether OS X is actually more secure or less targeted.
True, this really is more of an installation.

Actually, they are (finally) doing away with the 16 bit code.
It's quite useful in Super Smash Brothers Melee if I remember correctly.
Now that's just plain silly.
There are a lot of things that don't work in Linux. Photoshop is a good example.
Say hello to Kernel Panic

Classic. Absolutely classic.

Matrox cards rock. Unfortunately, they're just a bit too pricey to justify for my needs.
Goatse is offensive, but Tubgirl made me literally vomit a little. How you can compare the two is beyond me.
