Maybe Billy gives him proposition to infect Google with MS ideas and to prepare for a google's takeover by him...
Remember of old Ericsson software stuff which was been great Unix based, until some of MS high stuff was hired by Ericsson... After that they can't recover from MS intrusion...
Huh.
Without Open Source software too many people wouldn't had a chance to participate in software development. In all monopolistic views only developers employed by the Monopolistic companies could do that. All others could be only application users.
Do you think that it would be possible to survive in battle using MS products? They had a too many breaks in ideas, which they promote. Only developers employed by the MS could know what's in next we could do. And they had an unfair advantage against rest off us.
Who can remember of an advanced MS DOS application programmers who were all dig in the dust of newer Windows products? Who can remember of an advanced Visual C++ 1.x (or 2.x, or Visual Studio 2.x-5.x,...) programmers who also were all dig in the dust with newer, and newer Visual Studio releases? In every new Windows release, or every new Visual Studio release we could see a new ideas locking mechanism, which they prepared for the rest of us. And these newer versions also had built-in stopping mechanisms to older technical methods favored in earlier releases.
This is a really danger which tend to make technical slaves from all of us. We only had a chance if we help Open Source Software to survive. If we don't do it, we had lost our and our child's jobs chance.
We couldn't all live and work in Redmond. Or for Redmond.
If I properly understand documents which I can found about Trusted Computing I think that no one except certified TC/MS tehnicians can legaly change BIOS software if it is protected by DRM rules.
That may be an bigger problem if other BIOS vendors do the same thing.
After all maybe we are all forced to back to old Altair 800 days. Or to stay with current owned hardware and wait on market selfregulation (if no one buy an new HW/SW combination vendors must change rules if they want to survive). Or to buy an hardware which doesn't have TC/DRM/... features.
I must react.
Isn't General Unix Philosophy "Make small simple tools which consist of small sections of code. Every of them do one specific thing, but do it in the best way. And at last but not least combine them thru all kinds of Interproces and other types of communications between them to provide solutions for bigger problems"
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Slashdot Mirror
He was droped into warmhole. How we can save him?
Hmmm...
What if he was a Trojan horse?

If they need help for that, they can read an Douglas Adam's "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy".

Wrong payment direction.
:))))
Darl and SCO must pay to all of us for stop using an "damned" GPL software.
I think that some kind of 1 million USD which SCO must pay to any per person who used any GPL-ed software is worth enough.
