People don't know what they are doing. Skype is more of a lock-in than a proprietary SIP phone (wired or wireless).
An open-source Skype phone is useless unless one can find reliable SIP software for it. On the other hand, a proprietary phone (eg. Grandstream) can be connected to a free PBX -- full control of the service. It is NOT the free software that is important here. It is the free PROTOCOL that is important.
It is called Asterisk. The GPLed PBX. Anyone can call in via standard SIP protocol. No problems. Not even a need for any central anything, if you desire. If you want, you can connect it to SIP termination or origination providers so you can connect it to PSTN. Lost of those around. Sorry, only one Skype. That goes down, and have nothing.
I use SIP Asterisk together with Grandstream phones. Yes, proprietary SIP phones. At least if Grandstream goes out of business, I can continue to use the phone with ANY SIP provider or asterisk. Can you say the same with your Skype phone?
I have a BIG problem with people that public books on Holocaust denial. Yet, I would prefer that they are able to public such books.
On the other hand, free speech has it limits. Free speech to criticize is OK. Free speech to incite violence is NOT. Hate speech is also NOT (incite violence). Also, you cannot stand up in a crowded movie theater and start shouting "BOMB, BOMB!!".
Order, law and good governance are the most important pillars of our society. Free speech, while important, must not trample on any of these. Also, I say law in general terms as in judiciary. Not any particular law! There are bad laws that needs to be struck down because they are not compatible with "good governance" nor "order".
You do not seem to understand the basic concepts behind the words.
Security is always, ALWAYS, temporary. You CANNOT gain permanent security. EVER. Even if you locked yourself up in a fortress, protected by 10 battalions of heavily armed private militia, that is NOT permanent security. The circumstances of your security are ALWAYS temporary. The current government is temporary. World order is temporary. Your life is temporary. Franklin underlines temporary security, because it never lasts. EVER.
Similarly, an essential liberty refers to any liberty as essential. Liberties like freedom of speech, freedom of movement, right to your life, etc are all essential. There are no liberties that are non-essential. This is by definitions of what liberty means. You lose any part of that definition, and you lose more than you ever gain through some temporary security.
* autonomy: immunity from arbitrary exercise of authority: political independence
* freedom of choice; "liberty of opinion"; "liberty of worship"; "liberty--perfect liberty--to think or feel or do just as one pleases"; "at liberty to choose whatever occupation one wishes"
* personal freedom from servitude or confinement or oppression
These are very general freedoms and we are losing them one chip of the security hammer at a time. Yet, we will NEVER get security because true security is a state of mind. Think about it - you are never physically secure in this world.
Example. People in UK allowed CCTV cameras to be put everywhere. They lost their liberty of freedom of movement (at least anonymous movement). They "gained" their security because they thought "it will fight crime". Result is that crime rate has not decreased. But the liberty will not be restored. Citizens of UK, and London especially, lost liberty and gained nothing.
somefile.c -- BSD license here, no prob.
somefile.diff -- GPL license here, no prob.
Then you combine the two and make a binary. Then the binary is under GPL license. Period.
Is that simple enough?
Also, you may have a somefile.c under a GPL license, but I'm not sure you can distribute it in source form.
But overall, it does NOT matter if somefile.c + modifications is distributed under GPL. It is NOT usable under BSD anyway. Modifications are GPL. So, you may as well ignore the problem or make sure that upstream distributes originals with BSD license and be done with it.
Unfortunately, if one can read my thoughts from the weird brain impulses, then they can affect it and even possibly write thoughts. If thoughts are ever used as evidence, how would one know they are not planted there in the first place?
Second, it is not non-invasive and passive. It is *very* invasive even though it may be passive. It is like going though your secret diary with a MRI and then calling the result non-invasive. Non-invasive to the the diary (or skull), but very invasive to my privacy.
Third, we already can alter mood externally. Since I am too lazy to search more than the top results in Google (though the following excerpt is accurate, ignoring the article if you want)
Our brains are extremely vulnerable to any technology which sends out ELF waves, because they immediately start resonating to the outside signal by a kind of tuning-fork effect. Puharich experimented discovering 7.83 Hz (earths pulse rate) made a person 'feel good producing an altered-state. 10.80 Hz causes riotious behaviour and 6.6 Hz causes depression. Puharich made ELF waves change RNA and DNA, breaking hydrogen bonds to make a person have a higher vibratory rate. He wanted to go beyond the psychic 8 Hz brainwave and attract psi phenomena. James Hurtak, who once worked for Puharich, also wrote in his book The Keys of Enoch that ultra-violet caused hydrogen bonds to break and this raised the vibratory rate.
Puharich presented the mental effects of ELF waves to military leaders but they would not believe him. He gave this information to certain dignitaries of other Western nations. The US govt burned down his home in New York to shut him up and he fled to Mexico. However Russians discovered which ELF frequencies did what to the human brain and began zapping the US Embassy in Moscow on 4 July 1976 with electromagnetic-waves, varying the signal, including focusing on 10 Hz. (10 Hz puts people into a hypnotic state, Russians and North Koreans use this in portable mind-control machines to extract confessions.
The Russians did transmit at ELF to US Embassy in Moscow at about that time. US Diplomats complained about chronic fatigue and general depression. Ignoring the psedu-science above, being able to read the mind accurately will also allow you to control that mind.
You DO NOT need to update all clients with all client data. It is NOT a n**2 problem. You only need to update clients that are interacting. The problem with this approach is that is is DIFFICULT. You have to still update positions on the non-interacting clients at some intervals so they are not out of place completely. And the server has to keep track of who interacts with what. Most developers at this point would just use the n**2 solution where you update all with all data and just limit where they can interact.
Also, you do not need to update non-interacting, non-visible characters at all.
EVE is a really easy solution because,
* it is NOT action game - it is a pure strategy (pilots don't dodge stuff, ship flies by itself)
* no need for low lag (see above). So, you can have 1000 clients in one battle.
EVE sometimes has huge lag, but is still playable.
EVE is much easier game to write large battles for than say FPS like Quake. And yes, WoW is like EVE.
This is good for NASA This is "good" for the Goggle managers This is BAD for Google shareholders
This and the reason that shareholders can't "kick these bums out" for wasting money is why Google is a bad stock. What is next, the board pays themselves 50% of the profits?
And finally, this is bad for geeks - Google's managers are wasting money that could go into R&D.
You also bought the commodity plastic goods and paper box that hold the copy of the software. There is also the copy of the license.
For more than a decade now, software is NOT sold, it is LICENSED. You want to buy Windows? Please, shell out a few billion and *maybe* you may get XP or 2k. Only work for hire software is SOLD.
You may do whatever you want, with the exception that you CANNOT change the license at will. You may add conditions, as adding GPL, but not simply replace BSD. This is from the license,
1. Redistributions of source code must retain the above copyright
notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer.
Therefore, the source code is copyright by Theo and that CANNOT be removed. It is a copyright violation. Furthermore, the new "license" MUST contain the disclaimer at the end of the BSD license (which GPL does) and the list of conditions under which BSD license.
So, unless the GPL license people removed the copyright of Theo's on the code (or other people's), they are not violating copyright.
Also, part of the driver will be BSD licensed and part of it will be GPL licensed. It will NOT be wholly GPL.
Would you say the same thing about the US MOAB? ie. the US will use it on its own people?
As to Beslan, well, one can talk about Putin's involvement, like Alexander Litvinenko in his book "Blowing up Russia". But you can say the same allegations for Bush/neo-cons in the US and Al-Qaeda. Iraq is too easy to point to with hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths.
The bottom line, don't point fingers unless you have concrete proof or you are willing to point fingers in more than one direction.
err, chips are designed to operate at some temperature. That temperature is X. Head dissipation depends on a temperature *gradient* away from the chip.
In an environment where a chip is at 50C and ambient is at 20C, then the max cooling potential is that 30C temperature differential.
IF, you put that same chip in an oven and heat it to 200C and IF air flow and all that is the same, then I would expect the chip to be at 200C + 30C = 230C. Again, the same 30C temperature differential.
So now, if you a chip that can operate up to 600C, and you have the same setup as above, then ambient can be up to 30C less than that or 570C.
Now, I spoke of the gradient, etc. That is the air flow and heatsink thing - it affects the gradient over the naked chip. "Water cooling" generally increases the cooling gradient. That's all.
The work that NASA is doing is very valuable. It may not be for your next mobo chip (mobo would melt), but for industrial applications and space missions to places like Venus where ambient is quite high and silicon does not last.
"We only give a 14 day warranty" (You get 6 months for replacement/refund and retailer is liable for repairs for 6 years.
This is unreasonable. I am not in UK or EU, but 6 year repair liability is NOT reasonable for number of things in the computer. Most mobos come with only 3 year warranty. Fans break too. 3 years is generally max amount of time before these crap out. HD have a max warranty (Seagate) 5 years. Why would a retailer be liable for longer period of time on these parts than the manufacturer?
If what you say is correct, no one in their right mind should sell computers to the UK and similarly, no one in the UK should buy local computers because the retailer will not stand by the warranty. Or you end up paying MORE than the boxes are worth because of warranty claims that will arise over 6 year period.
How about SIP phones? Media server? Normal internet not lagged by wireless overhead?
Grandstream BudgeTone SIP phone costs $50. A wireless SIP phone is a few times that. And probably will be obsolete when new wireless encryption will come out. Wired SIP phones will be around for a LONG time.
Also, it is *cheaper* to put in Cat5e in the wall (if you do it yourself) than to buy wireless adapters for your PC. For the cost of 5 wireless adapters, I can get 1000' of Cat5e, a dozen jacks and even more plugs. That's enough to wire few houses. RJ45 jacks are now in every mobo so no extra costs there.
Wireless has its merits, but it is NOT a replacement. Just like a flashlight is NOT a replacement for the ceiling, wired lights.
I just use wine for my EVE client. I just enjoy space as one should - silent.
And yes, you need nVidia for this. ATI drivers suck. And Intel (on Macbook) X drivers, they crash X. Software emulated OpenGL is just slow, but works. And yes, I ditched Windows years ago.
Random seek is probably one of the biggest bottlenecks in large databases. There are even databases that optimize reads/writes to be more consecutive on the disk. A drive like that would throw that problem out of the window.
If it is Linux, you can demand the source code. GPL allows you that. And if they do not have the source code, complain to the iptables guy Harald Welte [1][2]
So extra few bytes are so expensive compared to downtime and data corruption? I did not know that RAM and storage prices were going up?
There are many options available to you with PostgreSQL. Either,
* use the next largest data type (8 bytes) - cheap and fast solution, or
* add support for native unsigned ints - labour intensive solution ($$$). Just use the code for native signed ints and add unsigned support. Should not be too difficult!, or
* use another DB like DB2 or Oracle or even MSSQL - propriatory solution ($$$), or
* use MySQL and pray - lazzy solution
MySQL is an OK storage engine, but it is not a real database. Now that they have started to move to supporting standard database features, they are shutting out the "community" in favour of good old cash. But then against we all saw this when 3.53.x => 4.0 transition switched from LGPL to GPL client libraries?? Right?
Now I have to put on a fire suit and watch karma burn.
Programmers don't have to know anything at all about licenses and stuff like that because that's what the rest of the company is for.
It is like saying GW doesn't know the consequences of a nuclear war because he is not a scientist. GPL/BSD/LGPL are 3 licenses that ALL programmers should know about. And I'd argue most that enjoy what they do, understand these licenses and the differences between them.
There may be some confusion re: GPL v2 vs v3 or 3-clause BSD vs. 4-clause BSD, but the one line summaries of the requirements of these licenses are very simple.
GPL -> use API/code of GPL stuff and you have to release your stuff/modification under GPL compatible license.
LGPL -> use API/code of LGPL stuff, and you have to release your apps such a way that LGPL stuff can be swapped out for compatible version. Also changes to LGPL stuff must be released under LGPL compatible license.
BSD -> Use the code and release under any license you want. Would be nice to have an acknoledgment of usage of the API/code (4-clause BSD req. it, 3-clause (new) does not)
Is this so complicated? There should be no excuse for trying to pull a fast one. Not after 10 years. This is not some weird corporate EULA. And these are not EULAs, these are code licenses. You do not understand them, do NOT use the darn code.
FWIW, this guy is much more than a spammer and 30 years is far from a reasonable sentence. 300 years for conspiracy to murder the child of an adverse witness is a fair term FOR THAT ONE CRIME.
WTF man? Why are you people constantly putting "murder of *the child*"? Why does it even matter if it was a child, a 30 year old man or a 100 year old granny with no teeth? Isn't the law suppose to me blind??
All he probably got was X years for conspiracy to murder a witness. Period. I'm sick and tired of people constantly trying to play the stupid "think about the children" or whatever line in an attempt to play on reader's emotional side. Is the murder of a 30 year old white male witness any less of a crime? I don't know, maybe it is to you. After all, he could probably dodge the bullets.
Karma be damned.
But then again it is OK for some town in Texas to skin alive rattlers but probably not OK for someone to come along and start publicly skinning alive those baby furry rabbits. Sad sad world. Why can't people understand that it is not _WHO YOU DO IT TO_ but _WHAT YOU DO TO THEM_ that is the crime (moral crime, god crime, civil crime, whatever)?

"The Driver's Licence Certificate (Part 2) is renewed yearly and expires four months less one day after your birthdate."
Which is OK except they harmonized renewal of licenses and vehicle registration plates. So, effectively, you have birth day/month on license plates.

Who cares what OSI defines Open Source as? Their definition is NOT a license. It is just some hacked up definition. Like me trying to define,
Shared Source - software where you can share source code if you want to.
Now, Microsoft may disagree. But screw them eh? I made up some definition and copyright holder is irrelevent?
The *exact* same thing is with Open Source and OSI. OSI does NOT define what GPL mean or what GNU mean when they say open source GPL license.

You have provided a good link for different countries, yet did not follow up. For example, all domains are at,

http://www.securityspace.com/s_survey/data/200706
now, if we go by countries we see immediately who is responsible for the boat of ISS, (see website above for source)
Germany: 5% ISS, 92% Apache
US: 21% ISS, 74% Apache
Canada: 25% ISS, 70% Apache
India: 33% ISS, 63% Apache
China: 67% ISS, 28% Apache
Now, since China is adding more net users on the web faster than any other country, we see the problem. China is skewing Netcraft.
