They do. It is a core development team of about 4-6 guys, using Windows, Visual Basic, and Access databases. They contract a lot of their "hard work" out to small time software development houses. My company was less than a mile away from their place in North Canton, so we got almost all of there work while my company existed. Tasks ranged from completing a demo of PDA/ATM software communicating over IR (Yeah, they didn't care that it was a bad idea), to fixing "bugs" in modules where we weren't usually given much of the code to begin with, and no test cases, so we have no idea what it went into... or what we were really fixing.
No, it wouldn't help. I have had this issue with my ISP Atlantic Broadband for a good two months now. Incoming torrent connections are flat out blocked (you can open the port and test it, but once the first incoming torrent connection comes in, the port gets blocked). And while you tout UDP may be the answer, they do the exact same with KAD... first incoming KAD packet and the port is blocked.
I don't know what's worse... the fact that I get marked as a troll or the fact THAT YOU STILL DON'T GET IT. If you distribute any GPL binaries, YOU HAVE TO MAKE AVAILABLE THE CODE. I am not TALKING about their binaries or anything that links to the kernel. If they are in fact using a linux kernel, they have to make the code they used available. End. Of. Story.
Please don't spread rediculous misconceptions about what the GPL forces to be free, it hurts the GPL movement because people will avoid it for fear its will "infect" their code, I had to get our lawyers sign off that checking our proprietary code into the GPL'd CVS would not force our code to be GPL; arguements that using Open Office make your term paper GPL or that somehow the ability to run Halo under WINE means you have a right to the source code is the type of anti-GNU FUD MS wants to spread.
You're an idiot. If it is running on Linux, THEY STILL have to pony up the kernel code (and code for any other GPL code they distribute). Modified or not.

And that is really the problem. Listen to a Rush cd compressed to MP3 format. The crashes become almost a white-noise-through-real-audio sound and hi-hats blend away into obscurity. Its like one of those composite pictures you see all of the time, where one big picture is made up of littler pictures. Sure you can tell what it is SUPPOSED to be, but you simply lose the fine details.
The software will allow people who can't read to interact with a PC
First you bring VB to the world and let those who shouldn't develop ANYTHING software wise do so... now your plan is to let idiots who can't even read to use a computer? And we wonder why the computing world is a bog of what it once was...
Um... you know the sniper had nothing to do with greed... actually, I digress... apparently not.
He was shooting people around where he thought his ex lived to "scare" her. He got caught because he was napping at a rest stop with his rifle in plain sight.
Yeah... same idea as "My fucking legs work. Is it my fault that yours don't? Am I expected to forgo the luxury of an escalator because you are in a wheel chair?"
My advice is specialize in something to the point where when you do any work on it, it's immediately out of the comprehension of a generalist or a less accomplished programmer
As someone who had been contracted by Diebold, the machines are running Windows, the software is written in Visual Basic, and the database is Access. And no, this isn't a troll.
It isn't like we have 200+ years of laser printer usage in a cubicle environment to look back on. This is something very new in history. Why COULDN'T it be harmful? They thought asbestos was safe... lead paint... Radon... .
I laid out a simple decision for her concerning computer resources. Either you can be a Domain User on my domain, or you can be on your own, and have no access to it.
You have to be kidding. Just because a company represents plural people, doesn't mean you treat it as plural. I herd of buffalo is many buffalo, but it is a single herd.
You remind me of the soulless boogers that treat the word "data" as plural ("The data are coming from the internet").

Did you just link to a powerpoint file? The world is ending, folks.

And that is the base issue... running on linux... derived from linux... either way they have to show the code.

Dude. If you have an alcohol content from ANY test that says you are >~.25, you're dead.
SGI's implementation isn't "Open Source", but the specification is.
Are you REALLY Tom Cruise?
Pardon my pessimism, but I couldn't see this being very fast.

Perl and Batch files it is!

This is what I do. I've never had a toilet seat arguement.
Now that it is, at least, thought possible, stretch a little and theres your immaculate conception.

So where is the link to the source for these?
I am eating the Wonka bar and I taste something that is not chocolate... or coconut... or walnut... or peanut butter... or caramel... or sprinkles.
My solution to this... put The Running Man into production.
