I do not see how stripping people of thier right to sue for damages will affect the USPTO. Scince that is the only way many individuals can even afford a lawyer.
I just read the the CPL and it seem's pretty fair to me. M$ is going to do what they do, but why should we care?
I just want to be able to speak, to write what I want and share that. Code is language, that is what Microsoft will fail on. They think that people will continue to be uneducated. Hell, I am not a programmer, (or a linguist), but I have written my own cron scripts to do GLS stuff on Gentoo. That's the future. That's why OSS will prevail.
The one valid point I see this article bringing up is the developer support of the underlying languages. I admit, I am anything but a good coder. I dabble in PyQt, PyGtk, HTML, PHP. And I can tell you that if there was anything that let me write a simple web based application that was easier to use than PyQt, I would use it. That is where I believe the future of the web is going. This is what I would like to see happening in the browser.
ps. lotsa cool technostuff too, and some MS guys talking about doing wireless vid-phones through the city, next year, well, we'll see. the whole thing is supposed to be anti corprate, so...mabey some OSS?
you can do the same thing with Gentoo that you can with red hat, compile a binary that will work on most, or all of your systems, and then just, fdisk, and dump a tar.bz2 image on to the systems that you want to use.
If you have two million different sets of hardware, you can easily set it up for that too
thinking that only RedHat, (binarys) can fit on a box "fast", is irrisponsible and antiquated! Nuff said
I see the future of Gentoo not only as a meta distrobution, but also as a comunication method between developers and users
The biggest thing about Gentoo for me hasn't just been the fact that I can get anything (fresh out of the oven), but the fact that I can report bugs, and get feedback within hours....I can go to the gentoo forums and get answeres within minutes
It's because I feel the future of linux is in its ability to progess, to find new way's of doing thing s, to find new......on a five year mission to.... well you get the idea.
why would SCO go throught the trouble of litigating a case that they, could not solve?
It seems to me that, that is a question that I would ask if I were the judge in this case
I could easily believe at this point that IBM is simply trying to show why SCO hasn't been able to produce any viable evedence. It's a shot at thier legs, trying to take their case out from under them
PS. I still regard the fact that no one in the OSS comunity has tried to build a.net type framework around GCC as a failure. (build once run on everything),

you english are so class based, get a grip on life, stop hating someone just because they are from Manchester and drink a cold beer for god sakes!

Actually there is a stage 3 that offers most of the system pre compiled.
By the way, couldn't help but notice your posting is written in basic. Nice!
actually Einstein retaliated against the Copenhagen Interpretation. Thus his famous statement, "god does not play dice with the universe."
Which eventually led to the culmination if the famous Schroedenger's cat scenario. (the cat was eventually lost in another dimension).
Or how bout an interesting story
I was there last year and if you think this is something ..... well, you just gotta go see for yourself.!
ps. lotsa cool technostuff too, and some MS guys talking about doing wireless vid-phones through the city, next year, well, we'll see. the whole thing is supposed to be anti corprate, so...mabey some OSS?
wanna do some coding? I have a whole bunch of QT designer, stuff that will do just what you want, but I need some backend work
But even if I don't someone else will, it's inevitable, it's on the way
The answere is "USE" flags, look them up and learn a little about how Gentoo works, then flame away.
USE flags allow you to build all of your applications with specific dependancies, that allow you to "use" X with Y.
These are linux standards, the ability to do with it what you want
ya, sure 9th graders, doing spread sheets, I wonder what those two calls will be about?
Yes it has a graphical browser, two actually, you can use the GUI based one, or the web browser based one, your choice!
Graphical installer is in the works (lot of argument about it actually)
I agree nonsense to what you said
you can do the same thing with Gentoo that you can with red hat, compile a binary that will work on most, or all of your systems, and then just, fdisk, and dump a tar.bz2 image on to the systems that you want to use.
If you have two million different sets of hardware, you can easily set it up for that too

Gentoo is just plain FUNNN!!!!
How much their next upgrade is gonna cost??
but the reality we should *legally* be able to play movies on linux.
why should I have to pay, Turbo or Linspire, to get an Xine plugin that I should legally be able to purcahse over the web??
I don't mind paying a little money to be legal, But I want to be able to do it on any distro that I want to use it on.
hey! I want to be able to embed 8meg mpegs into my documents, so I can send them to all my friends and fill up thier email accounts!

so the trailers for The open source documentary are in a closed format???
vannilla works fine on my Gentoo, of course it's not quite as zippy
I code a little on the side for fun, but I have been a shipwright for about 18 years.
I can't see moving from 40K a year to 40K a year and just getting burnt out on the one thing I love doing
go figure
ya he has the NUTS alright, no argument there
But as far as sharing........?
I do not see how these still shots could possibly show us what this suit would be like in action
perhaps some nice ninja moves in mpeg format??
Just think of the possibilities in construction!
You could have gold-wood furniture, a light stained platnum, porch....
and what about amorphous-metal-trees the ULTIMATE building material!!!!
