no shit, if your boss says "hey write this thing that does x y and z" and you are half way through it and realize that its going to DDOS, or something illegal, get your ass out of it as quick as possible.
"I was just just doing what I was told, I didnt want to lose my job" doesnt work in court.
go figure, teenage girls from the most stuck up and rich area in this state ( i live 15 minutes from birmingham, very uppity ) are fighting over something as stupid as this, and ofcourse it makes the NYTimes.. Daddy's little girl didnt get her porsche for her 16th birthday so shes gotta be a bully.
i can only imagine the amount energy that will have to be used to stop something that is flying, and the only resistance is air... in comparison to the simple conversion of kenetic energy to heat energy through the friction of brake pads, and tires to the road..
hold on honey, I missed the turn, i gotta engage the E-brake.
ill be happy if they change the license away from the GPL and it happens to run their marketshare to nothing.
Honestly I never understood what people saw in mySQL other than the FREE aspect, and if that was the only thing they were looking for Postgres, Oracle (for personal use), and MSDE (MS sql server free ver) are all much better tools for the same price.
So lets say I put 150 hours into an OSS project, what do I get back out of it from the 500 big companies that take full advantage? Oh what's that? Nothing? Yeah thats right. I dont get squat, and those big companies that are using what we made for no cost to them other than possibly hiring 1 of say.. 50 of the people who worked on it? Yeah, thats really worth spending MY time on.. Sorry but Id rather sit in the other room watching TV with my wife.
Last I knew there were colors (the actual spectrum of light) and then there were pigments of things (which actually reflect certain colors of the light)
so now they can project reflected colors, aka pigments? hmmm
The Governator may think he wants opensource solutions but obviously what he really wants is just cheaper alternatives. The gov't could care less if they can modify or redistribute software. they just want to be cheap.
IMO a government using OSS is almost a waste because even if they do find a bug or add an enhancement, do you think they will release it back into the community? NO.
Big companies and government use the free aspect and dont give anything back.
Kinda defeats the spirit of the OSS community if you ask me.

getting exercise while gaming would be nice for once...
but It sure would suck when you try to roll/duck behind something in a FPS and you fall off the tiles and bust your ankle.. There's no way they can predict and keep up that well.
Don't you guys know what will happen?!?! If a memory card in a small enough form factor reaches 2TB, the universe will implode on itself! That's just too small for that much data!
So we get a story saying the FCC says TiVO can be shared... then they come right back with tapping VOIP. I guess you just gotta roll with it.
Score one for the bad guys.
or for those to lazy to link...
Folks that served in the military might be familiar with the term "blanket party," that's when an unsuspecting serviceman is visited in the middle of the night by several of his disgruntled comrades. While he is asleep, a blanket is thrown over his body and is firmly held down by some of his assailants, while other attackers pummel him through the blanket, with fists, bats or other objects. The attack happens in the dark, and although the victim might have a strong suspicion of who his muggers were, he can usually never prove it.
I dont know about the rest of you, but even if guys like this keep some of us in jobs I'd still like to drag him outside and have a good old fashion blanket party. Anybody got a few extra baseball bats? If not we can just fill socks with penny rolls.
nice... so as soon as someone points out enough flaws in OSS that must mean they are against it.... I bet they are PAID by M$ to point out OSS vulnerabilities.
Wait no, maybe they just want to make it better.
some of you guys way overreact to things like this, you just have to realize that as your precious OSS grows to be the king of the hill people will write exploits for it too.

to compromise a system..
Luckily the masses of windows users are content to use windows media player which should slow the spread of this.
so, how does one stop a flying car?

Of course profit is good, but all the social engineering leads me to believe they are straying just a little bit.
Go ahead, mod me down again!(to whoever did it already)
so does "don't be evil" still apply as their motto?

I totally agree with you here.

and Kia's stock went up 22%

Im betting we'll see HL2 before the pre-orders stack high enough for production on this thing.
