If CL cannot live up to the commitment she origionaly signed on the dotted line for, then she should have never signed. No one held a gun to her head.
This crapola about artists need a different set of rules then the rest of society is leftist elitism at it's best. Artists have an overly developed sense of their importance to the world.
Obviously the writer of this article hasn't a clue about organizational behavior, and probably has never left his or her dorm room, not to mention try to build a business where you have to meet payroll every month.
Until such time that people are forced to work for free, which is the ultimate goal of RMS by the way - communism, business operational specialists (i.e. "suits") add an incredible amount of vaule and are the single biggest drivers of progress in the technological industry. Coders are the single beggest reason why projects fail, are buggy, over budget, and late.
Stop looking for excuses else where. When coders start acting more like business people, rather than RMS-wannabes, then we'll really see the software industry mature. Could you imagine how far behind the world be if mechanical/aerospace/civil engineers behaved like software people?
Poor White Boy Stallman oppressed by THE MAN!

Only an upper class, silver spoon feed, white boy like stallman could equate the his free software stichk with human rights, curing cancer and world hunger, racism. This clown is out of touch with the world, and you rms groupies need to spend a day to or two in the real world away, far far away from your thearapist.
How about the freedom to take a BATH! Does he have that one figured out yet?
So last week Cmdrtaco has to be begged to publish a message regarding the 80% haircut in all linux stocks. Today, a private company get's an $80M 5th round, and for some reason known only to hemos and taco it warrants an immediate message.
I thought the article was well written and to the point. You seem to be confusing negative lunix information with bad writing.
I thought the *most* interating articel on the page was reagrding *Lynx Real-Time Systems*. Now there is a peice of technology worth bragging about. These guys now how to write a hard, deterministic, POSIX compliant real-time OS. Not some fakey add-on like the linux real time mods are.
Shhhh! This is a secret. We're trying not to let all the geeks know about ie5. Modern folks are once again moving on to the next battle, while these geeks are still talking about the battle of the mid 90s'. While they are at it, we shold have them rehash the emacs v.s. vi debate again just so they can burn more cycles going nowhere fast.
In the mean time slashdot is proving to be just like all the big behemoths they are so quick to critize. Saying how great Mozilla is, is like saying how great ie 2.0 was.
Microsoft has proven they can adapt and improve at internet speed. Mozilla has done everything but.
That sounds like the reliogn talking again. I have never had trouble getting the source code for mysql. I have had lots of trouble getting mysql to scale, and I have to make a lot of datamodel compromises to get more speed. Oracle has nothing to fear for at least five years with respect to 8.05, and by then they will still be very very far ahead. The majority of opensource/gpl zealots continualy underestimate the power of their rivals.
Amen! Amazon does a great great job. They have excellent customer service. They have a unique vision that was implace long before it became popular to emulate. The only reason I will switch to another service is when I perceive a better value proposition; and Amazon knows how consumers behave and they are not about to let that happen.
Let's see how strongly ANDN, (/.) feels about the patent issue... I propose that ANDN donate all book related referal revenue back to GNU.
Excellent move on Suns part. The second you let those kind of wining complainer types that love to sit on governing bodies is when you can start to dig a grave for the language. Go SUNW! It will hit 100 by year end.

Go to the section nominally known as Erlang (B for trunk capacity, C for server capacity). The modern name for this problem is "Log MMN - inifinity".
/. users will unite and write this software package for you because free is good, right?
Decide what your actual average handle time is.
Determinal the Goal for ATA (average time to answer) which is a probability distribution for % of calls to be answered vs seconds to answer.
Formulate the stochastic representation if you have mutiple skill sets in the call center.

No way will it get out of beta in Y2k. There's a reason why it's take so long, and it is not going to disappear over night.
