Are you moronic? If the G1 sold a million (which it has sold far more, but that's besides the point), the question is, what is the ACTUAL loss from iphone versus the gain from the G1?
If Tmobile lost a million people form the iphone and gained a million from the G1, guess what? The iphone had no significance at all.
The "16million iphones" doesn't mean all 16 million people are from Tmobile, dumbass.
Actually, what about the reverse of the general measure? Don't they ask people to remain calm in an emergency? If someone is going into shock and losing blood fast, but someone else is on the phone and calm, are they just going to put them on hold, then?
The answer is no, and it's not even a matter of ethics, it's also engrained into the GPL: where it says that suing over patents can invalidate your GPL license. I forgot where it is in the text of the license, but go search.
So basically, GPL is actually the fix, and that's why businesses are afraid to use it: because they won't be able to sue people for patents on GPL'd software.
the iphone has zero to do with tmobile being sold, which, in case people haven't noticed, still has to be approved by the government. This deal actually might not be, in which case a lot of people will be happy.
What a joke of an article. It only looks at customers lost from the iphone, and not customers gained once tmobile picked up the G1, their first android phone. Talk about spin.
Remember, the more litigious the company, the less innovative.
Apple is not excluded and obviously neither is MS. The only time a company goes "nuclear" with the patent option is when they are betting that in the short term they can make a profit off extortion. Given the open source nature of the products and the sheer size of the companies MS is going after, this is so hilariously shortsighted I don't know where to begin, not to mention how easy it is to get around a patent with GPL'd software.
actually, this bill is discrimination against every other religion that's out there. So I'm amazed they will try to do this. A law against "discrimination of all religions" is different than a law against discrimination of a single religion. This would be laughed out of courts and overturned pretty fast if it ever passed and was challenged.
You should remind people that the "jesus" they (creationists) pray to is not the "jesus" that existed 2000 years ago. It's more of the "white buddy christ" that ignorant people have no idea doesn't exist elsewhere.
This isn't flamebait, it's incredibly accurate. It isn't specific to anti-nuclear groups but people that want to control others via fear. You know "BEWARE OF NUCLEAR FALLOUT IMMINENT!" etc etc.

Most of these articles also cite Florian Mueller or a legal guy saying it's a legal analysis with a disclaimer that says "THIS IS NOT LEGAL ANALYSIS". It's not a coincidence.
As another commenter noted, Indeed, google "SCO linux headers" or "SCO errno.h".
you'll see what this is about, and the answer is zero.
This won't play into a goddamn thing. It's headers. read the first post. Headers are not copyrighted. This seems to be about as blatant a lack of comprehension you can get.
I'm sure it was intentional. Meanwhile, the US is being idiotic on this. If you look at non-politically spewed bullshit, you'll see that Things are being managed pretty damn well . Japan has prepared for this far better than the states. Jaczko is just unhappy that Japan is rightfully keeping him the hell away from the situation.
Isohunt isn't made for distributing copyrighted content illegally, nor is any other site, including google.
It's not their job to determine what is illegal and what isn't, nor to police what people are distributing. I think you forget that little section 230 thing.
I never said it was perfect, just said that people are trying to do what any good competition does: emulate the good parts of your competitor and drop the bad.
If you RTFA you'd see that it was authored by Florian Mueller and that there is nothing wrong with what happened.
GPL says that if the settlement makes terms incompatible with the GPL, then you cannot distribute. It has nothing to do with the patent settlement terms which are unknown and/or the fact that this doesn't mean it's paying royalties on a standard.
There are two arguments for hardware in enterprise. 1: Power to watts ratio. This is substantially more capable than just about anything out there for X86 right now, shy of supercomputers.
Dont' feel bad, even the us prices are fucking outrageous. No video game is worth more than $20, absolute ceiling, even with inflation. Plenty of publishers have been very successful doing this because everyone buys their games. It's just old dumbass publishers who charge high and expect people to pay it.
I doubt it. You've still gotta call it something. Forget shenanigans, but you can't call every version windows or how are people going to be able to differentiate?
The server editions are very straightforward names. Can you not tell the diff of server 2k3, server 2k8, and server 2k8 r2? That's not exactly marketing buzzwords. Do you have a problem with new server editions which have substantial changes in, well, server?
uh, just because nobody is making a factual argument doesn't mean that abortion is an emotional argument. There's a strong factual background showing that religion is not a good thing and never has been. What is the actual factual argument against abortion? Claiming that abortion is equivalent to actual murder is an emotional argument.

The phone is not free. It is subsidized. You state that yourself.
The perception is free, the reality is not.
People pay for this stuff because people are indeed, that stupid as a whole.
I can't help but notice that you left out android, where they can't detect the difference either.
Why? Because Visa wants hilarious profit margins and how many competitors are going to exist?
Square is about the only one I can think of that is mainstream.

All I'm saying is pick your sites carefully as to where you look.
Lots of shit has been beyond overreactions. The situation isn't perfect, but seems to be you know, under control.

yup. The real question is "Does Florian Mueller have a open source problem?" and the answer is yes.

not everyone's that stupid, sites like diaspora are trying to create alternatives that don't fuck people over like facebook.

hahahaha so well done, and appropriately modified.
