First all that have video transmission, as parking assistance, nightvision, review cameras. Infotainment. I don't think the same bus, but in the future using the same technology. One technology, one open standard might bake stuff overall easier to implement, and that lowers costs or increases quality, or features, or a mix of these.
You have any idea how much cable would be need ed in a car of today with that kind of wirering. How that would make the car a bit heavier. and how that would make the car work? I heard numbers form Volvo, moving form switches and relays to can busses made them remove about 200 kilos in the car. While adding functionality.
The fibers are mostly, almost only used for the MOST bus, The most bus is either 25, 50 or 150 that is rought about he MBaud speed. the 25 and 150 can use fiber and the 50 and 150 uses electric contacts. I think most new cars with most uses electric connectors. At least that's the case with the newest Cadillacs. Using fibre have many problems they are expensive. For the next generations infotainment i think most, if not all automakers have been looking at using something simplar and more standard like ethernet for years. Because of the special environment i the car, it will probably be a modified ethernet. E.g. BroadR (http://www.opensig.org/). GM is part of the Open sig, prompters group, so they will probably also use this. And the starts will be in infotainment, as this need more bandwidth.
First Sweden is not as liberal as you might think, we have maybe the most conservative laws against child pornography in the world, just recently a Swedish manga translator got sentenced for having child porn images. E.g. Manga images. We also need a web-filter to block out sites in the US and Japan. As both US and Japanese governments refuse to bring changes to the people behind these pages.
We classify more crimes as rape, that most other countries, what's sexual harassment in most western countries are rape in sweden.
From what i read in the swedish media including the statement by the girls, this was them having sex with Assange, they had some agreement on what was allowed in this act, Assange did this think anyhow. They both together went to the police to discuss this. The police and prosecutions decided to make a rape charge from it, based on there stories. As more info came in a higher ranked persecutor took away rape from the charge list. What really happened in the apartments of the two girls. I don't know, it's will sure be a hard to ever know for sure.
Not really, there are more limiations, some wordings in the new licence is not good, the intetions is this but that have some strange wording that implises stuff they problem didn't mean to get there. Like all creators of thridparty viewers have to follow GPL even if some make a BSD licence viewer from a different source base like libomv.
It also may limit how I as user send the gpl:ed software to an orther person. I think in practice this may wortk as intended and be little harm. even if to my reading the policy is well written.
"# You are responsible for all uses you make of Third-Party Viewers, and if you are a Developer, you are also responsible for all Third-Party Viewers that you develop or distribute."
Does that mean I as developer are resopsible for all users. as I'm resposnsible for all "Third-Party Viewers", and if some onbe just distribures and not develop?
All the bad press has been on it being MPA and IPFI, not on the FBI. FBI have been working with the swedish goverment for a long time. In both directions. The differece in the storied about MPA did at the scool from the MPA and the swedish police makes this an intersting story.
That the other speaker at the conference was the swedish version of RIAA that have tried to use scare tactice already, doesn't make it better. The only problem with FBI is that they are talking together with MPA at this occation.
I personally think Intel is Intel even if they do both grapichs and wireless cards. However I also hope that the possitive things with the graphiccards will spread to the rest of the company.
One can also notice thet wireless cards, (WiFi, Bluetooth, wcdma...) are the cards that have the worst possible exploit ground for remote problems. This makes these drivers the most wanted to bemove binary blobs from.
I use free as in "able to act at will; not hampered; not under compulsion or restraint" (Wordnet). Then maybe total freedom for everyone isn't perfect and maybe some constraints may be positive. The GPL contains many restrictions, with restrictions you are not free. (Unless you change the word free to have a "new" meaning.)
There are some differences and in some cases maybe the GPL might be better, especially it's better to force people into sharing. However I don't you can force people into having freedom. It's about as stupid as fucking for virginity.
Given that "free" means "able to modify the code and give changes away". It's a limited freedom, but still maybe a freedom. OpenBSD's license have more freedom for everyone, including the freedom not to give out what you have done to make it work and still be able to sell that combined stuff. You have the freedom to be evil and bad, and the rhetoric question are you free if you only can choose till follow one path?
It might be a good thing to force everyone to follow the path of rightfulness, but I don't think it is freedom.
I'm also sure that FSF will address these problems and this is part of what they have behind looking into the problems. However many in the current/. audience have not yet looked into these side of the coin.
The problem with the dns servers will be that anyone that uses a software probably will end up to have to be a distributer. On a technical merit I'm not sure if that is a good development. I think that if i used emacs to generate HTML stuff for my web-site, or Linux as kernel on that host this shouldn't help anyone that I was forced into have the code for Linux/emacs on my web-site. Yes that's the other far fetched end of this.
Personally today i think that the linked part of the GPL is close to a such mistake. The hole discussion about binary modules, drivers for the Linux kernel points in a such direction. I'm however can't figure out a better way to get to there goals.
However being a pragmatic person, I prefer other methods to get toward my own goals. Only having software around that I can open and edit the code for, so if it don't work for me I can make it better.
My view is that the part where there Free stuff gains more of the world, it have to be good. And if it's good it will spread. Personally I'm not sure that GPL'ed stuff is free, for my beliefs in free. For me it's the least free of all the open source licenses. I don't like the link directive as it's unclear and imho no longer usefully relevant. lgpl i personally think is a better version.
And when I put this pdf on the web, is the user me or the person that gets the pdf deliverd? The user creator is a blury world. I could also argur that I'm the user of the root dns servers, should they be forced to give out the code of there dns-server if thats gpl based? Or the TCP/IP stack? The source for the webserver?
Shure there is one more usage, this may not have been considerd at the start, but on the other side this have always been the case with client server software? Should this also include other client server software? The web are just one fluffy betale that can change any day? And what are the parts that actually makes the web, http? html? xhtml? xml? Gif? Whan writing licenses one have to think long and hard about these issues.
If you take a free editor, Emacs/Open Office/Gimp and make an output that make you gain money? How much should you be forced to release? You own macros? I.m.h.o. the focus of FSF should shift from making the most virus like licence to make the best software. The think that wins the world will be really good software, not really sleek licenses.
And what the heck is web-based applications, the TCP/IP stack that makes it all possible? The web-server code? I think adding this into a general clause in GPL3 would have some really strange implications make the use of gpl'de software much harder...
Here's the Kicker: Coffee is supposed to be served in the range of 185 degrees! The National Coffee Association recommends coffee be brewed at "between 195-205 degrees Fahrenheit for optimal extraction" and drunk "immediately". If not drunk immediately, it should be "maintained at 180-185 degrees Fahrenheit". (Source: NCAUSA.) Exactly what, then, did McDonald's do wrong? Did it exhibit "willful, wanton, reckless or malicious conduct" -- the standard in New Mexico for awarding punitive damages?

However when we looks back trou history, the situation now with the language Java is the same as the situation when the hacking started on gcc and other tools. GPL is written in the way it it just so that you can take open-source software and run on a real enviroment until you get a replacement. At the moment there looks like there is no replacement for java and the functionality java gives in this application. Then it's better with open/free souce on java that close souce on java. Then someday, hopefully soon the java replacement (being developed) is going to be better and work. For many many years there was no "free" kernel, now we have *BSD, Linux and maybe hurd. That the kernel for so long was missing didn't stop the developemnt of gcc, bash, X. That java still doesn't exist in a free version should be an inspiration to make it better not stop stand back and wait.
> Nonsense. Once more the free software community demonstrates that it is unwilling
Then start hacking, the gnu java compiler apparently need's some work. The only way is top stop complaining and start hacking. Personally I use Java as front-end for OpenOffice as the C++ stuff didn't work out. I see this as a much better alternative to buying MS Word, or Writer. Until something else comes up. (My time is spend writing a OpenSouce alternative to Suunto DiveManager. An area totally missing open-source code.)
If my memory serves me correct, the Xerox machie also hade more that two mouse buttons, memory comes up with numbers like five or seven. Small round ugly buttons.

We are talking Ethernet BroadR here, the cabling are different. Any car design if probably still going to need multiple networks.
TCP/IP standard have nothing to do with ethernet, even if they match well. We are using TCP/IP on many other physical layers as well.
I think most automakers think about adding tcp/ip at the same time as ethernet thou. Just becase it have extra values.
The fibers are mostly, almost only used for the MOST bus, The most bus is either 25, 50 or 150 that is rought about he MBaud speed. the 25 and 150 can use fiber and the 50 and 150 uses electric contacts.
