First of all this is at least a few weeks old. Check Groklaw. Second they are not giving SCO $100 mil outright. They are giving $5 mil with an option to loan another $95 mil over 5 years.
It used to be around 30 years ago. If you could receive it you could listen to it. Of course DirecTV wasn't around back then. Then people started listening to unencrypted cell conversations and they started passing laws making parts of the spectrum illegal to listen to.
That is not the case. They are claiming they should receive royalties on all music even if I made it unless I sign a contract with each and every company that plays it. No Creative Commons style license allowed.
I hope the RIAA realizes one day these are much better tactics than threatening people with lawsuits for thousands of dollars because they (maybe) uploaded some mp3s. It is so unbalanced. Somebody has thousands of cds they are selling on the street and all they do is take them but grandma has to deal with a lawsuit probably because some isp logged the wrong ip address.
Oh whatever. When I do want to join a site they sometimes have captchas that I can't figure out and have to try five of them or however many. It's frustrating. Throw in a second one which was put there because it is illegible and I'll say oh well, forget it. Forums aren't the only places using them either.
At least with a standard dreamhost account it's against the tos. No servers of your own allowed. I wrote them asking the identical question except with postgres and that is the answer I got.
It doesn't take much to install second life. It's free and you don't have to even give them a credit card so long as you don't mind having no money or land.
Oh come on. Postgres's sql is way better than MS's. And TransactSql? Bleah. I read that mssql 2005 is much better with C# integration but how new is that?
I'm not sure how you figure that. I work in a huge new and used bookstore (powells.com) and have done so long before Amazon existed. We can't compete with Amazon on new book pricing. Used books are our bread and butter. I might be misunderstanding your post buy when you say Amazon hasn't changed the world of the greatest best seller it sounds like you are talking about content. Amazon hasn't changed what content appears in new books but they have changed where people buy them.
I was surprised there would be the ability to add clauses to the license. It seems this will make it more difficult for many people or (especially) organizations to accept, if they have to evaluate the legality for their situation of many similar but different licenses.
I have only read the license through once and have lots of questions to think about. My first impression though is it seems a lot more readable than v2 for which I read "This is legalese what does this mean in English?"

That must be the logic of all those politicians protesting the gta hot coffee mod. Killing cops must be ok too since
that was always a highly visible part of the game,
unlike the mod.
Also I think we should ban high school football. God
knows how much violence that has caused outside of playing it.
Well they just released the first major new version of their os in 9 years and it has tons of open source software on it. No doubt the open source parts ane NOT under another license but under the GPL. They do have lawyers who would at least spot that major headache.
If you read the actual Groklaw article you will see it may just have been some copy of the kernel on one
of their distribution disks which would be fine as far as the gpl is concerned. If they actually integrated source code from the linux kernel into their own kernel that would be very interesting and bad karma indeed for them. But that is far from certain.

What a weird sig. 90% of humans dieing off would certainly take care of it.

I was just about to post that late breaking link. To clarify though they promised not to enforce it immediately. They might later.
No they won't because they signed their agreement prior to March 28.
That would be Little Old Lady from Pasadena.
Maybe because there are hardly any 7-11s around here? I remember seeing one south of downtown. Don't know if it is still there.
That's just nuts. Good for Prince.

Great, so now I would have to fill out two of those stupid things instead of one. Why would a company want to inflict this on its users?

That's correct. Second Life has the main adult grid for 18+ and the child grid for -18. They don't meet.
Bloated? It's a 30 meg download. It has the need for good hardware to run the thing but hard disk space is hardly an issue.
Oh come on. Postgres's sql is way better than MS's. And TransactSql? Bleah. I read that mssql 2005 is much better with C# integration but how new is that?
Now that deserves an insightful mod point. I don't have any though.

Sites that make you scroll left and right to read the text like the "upcoming developer tools" link are horrid, I can't/won't read them.
