If you look at the evidence you'll notice a lot of things that are not right with the official story. And this link is just a spin-off of that official story.
It allows so many companies to sell you a leash and handcuffs. Yes go ahead and wear them, the great advantage is that you'll never go where you shouldn't and that you'll never hurt anyone.
The amazing thing about this whole afair is that Adaptec itself is also a leashed and cuffed company. But after some thinking I realized Nvidia is just such a company. Even if they wanted to release the _specifications_ of their hardware they couldn't.
All in all this forces people to stick to one OS. That's why it is so important people step up for free specifications of their hardware. Because without them you are bound to be tied to a monopolist.
In november then went below $3, and to my amazement ever since they went up again and are now at a stable $4. Well that doesn't make sense to me since all news so far has been bad for them.
Firefox didn't invent tabbed browsing, Opera did. If IE has "stolen" tabs, then so has Firefox.
That's not the point. It's a sarcastic remark. Microsoft is the company that started the mudslinging claiming OSS never innovated. And now they get their own remark back.
mozilla uses ideas from opera, and opera uses ideas from mozilla. They include an email-client nowadays for example. Well that's no big deal. You won't hear either one complaining they copy each others good ideas. Personally I consider it a compliment if people use my ideas since it proves it's a good idea.
The idea is that the ``OSS never innovates'' remark is debunked.
It all ended up in court. Last time I checked, the other company was dropping the case, because Microsoft was able to push it so long they(the other) were running out of money.
Typical. Ever since the Xbox it became so obvious that the only thing they do is trying to harm the fair chances of others.
If I could convince the CEO of such a company to stick with his initial decision. To make him realize that he's killing the only chance of having a fair competition with this stupid decision.
Next time there won't be no OpenOffice deal, next time there won't be no Open Source people. And guess what M$ will do when there is no competition... They'll make you pay double to make up for the last time you threatened to walk to the competition and it ``costed'' them so much money.
I can still hear her words echoing in my mind. With that smirky smile...
We have no plans to invade Iran at the moment, but they
have to really show us something now.
At that moment she was speaking to the whole world. To the opponents she said, go back to bed and bother us no more since we just said we have no plans.
But it was a rude thread to Iran, and since North Korea and Iran are in about the same situation it also was a thread to N.K.
You could just count the seconds until Kim Young Ill would get upset and retort.
I wonder how many people will submit a picture of beasty. I mean that's The way to make the people from the jury reconsider. They have to look at least once at every beasty-picture. And there are tons of them.
Even seen the hordes of astro-turvers that violently proclaim virusses exist for linux or that they will be made as soon as linux becomes more popular? Just banging on all the standard FUD on every forum where people might get a positive idea about linux. No not/. where your default FUD will be debunked before you know it. No, the smaller forums where the less technical savy come.
Face it: from a standpoint of physics, wind, water, and solar, and the mechanisms for extracted energy from them, are NOT ENOUGH
Nonsense. It's been estimated that if a piece of desert with the size as the surface of France is covered with sun-collectors you will get enough energy to provide the whole planet. Of course, if this plan was realized in, say, 10 years, the whole energy-industry would collapse and make no more money.
And to the people in power that is the big threat. Having a shortage of something is the situation they strive for since that increases the prices.
It would be acceptable if the court could order the help function to be replaced. But ordering the whole product to be destroyed is the real power of patents in the hands of big companies.
Admitted, a small company can sue a big company and make a lot of bucks from it, but a big company can handle that. On the other hand a big company can crush it's compatitors.
In this case it's even worse, a big company orders a small company to do the dirty work for them.
FreeSBIE is based on FreeBSD and should not have been included in a Live Linux CD Roundup without special mention.
Well it's not GNU/Linux, but somehow ``Linux,'' for starters, got mixed up with ``all OSS os'es which run on i386,'' and I have no problem with that. I can explain a more accurate version of the truth later on when the audience is interested.
I'm very glad there are alternatives for Linux. Since I would hate it if we would step from one monopoly into another.
Personally I use OpenBSD on the firewall, and Linux on the desktop, and I'd wish there were less rock/suckers. You know:
MY OS ROCKS!!!1 YOUR OS SUCKS!!!!
There's only one guy profiting from these silly flamewars: Bill Gates.
What I am waiting for is the http://urbanterror.net/port to ET. I've been playing the UT mod for quake3 for ages now and it's the best playing mod of all times. Those guys don't really care about how good it looks. They just want it to play great. And in the end that's all that matters.
Well I have been tracking their stocks for a while, my own little piece of daily `Schadenfreude,' and I have it bookmarked: http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=scox
And in the first weeks of november I was very happy when their stocks went below $3.00. But after that, to my dismay, they started rising again, as you can see nicely in this graph: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=SCOX&t=6m&l=on&z=m &q=l&c=
So I am glad they are sinking again, but they are still a long way from $3.00. And I still wonder why they went up again in november.
[note: this is meant to be cynical]
Yet again micro$oft proves they are a very innovative company. I bet they will get their patent for this great invention real soon.
As of now I have no doubt whatsoever that Microsoft is excessively bribing the deciders in the european political open source and software patent discussion.
The decision-makers are also very fond of sacrificing our privacy in favour of the fight against terrorism and criminality. Well boys and girls, give a good example and give up your privacy. It would really help in the fight against corruption.

Theo didn't get that FSF award for nothing.
I hope there will one day be a company that realizes that it wouldn't make them happier, most likely not even richer.
You crack because you can crack. You don't try to crack into something which you can't crack into.
You get a reward to be put in the spotlight. To introduce someone you didn't really know or did not yet see the full quality of his work.
Linus is already fully in the spotlight.
Yet another natural energy resource to exploit. Two for the price of one, that sounds like an excellent deal. :-)

The only reason I can think why the SCOXE stocks are doing so fine is that speculants speculate that the other speculants believe everything SCO says.
Sounds like he rewrote the most important idea from "Power of Silence," from Carlos Castaneda.
Now that is an great book to read, even if you don't believe a word of what he says.

I also think that Sun never would have done anything of sort if IBM didn't give them a bright example.
The remark is redundant and the spam in this message is annoying. How to moderate it?
And that's what it's all about.

I added it just to make sure. I saw posts like that without the $ and they were moderated as trolls. While they sounded pretty cynical to me.
