Written law, we all have equal rights. Unwritten law, the powerful follow the law, but they also have the use of force - and all that accompanies it. Power, money, paid well equipped lawyers, grunts, PR, media, and the abuse of it all. When written law fails the powerful, they use the unwritten law. Let's study both laws, or we won't know how things work. Currently the "unwritten law" is something like "all information can be claimed by an owner, who can control it and charge for it. People must agree, or suffer some consequences". Of course there is also the unwritten "people control their own thoughts - and actions". Written copyright law is just a small part of it all.
People and nuclear technology have a weird dance. Nuclear weapons are a cure to numerous difficult social problems. And nobody should have them, except me. They should not be used but always kept ready to use... they should be banned.. etc. Killing and death and it's preparations, methods and politics. Never fails to get everyone excited. Then the Nazi comments can come, end the conversations. and everyone shuts up and goes home, to do it all over again.
KVM is fantastic virtualization technology, yet Xen gets all the hype these days. Why?
Well... in part because the open source world had embraced and promoted it for a long time. Corporations buying up open source projects and using them as a base platform for their commercial products is a problem. Or is it not? I'm not sure I understood exactly what happened with Xen and open source.
pr sponsored scare tactics. they stick this stuff into the news, and that's the main strategy - to reduce p2p by fear, intimidation, and technical complications. they know it's not going away completely, but they are going to do their best to make it reduce. they know it's failing, but they have no other alternative.
Yeah, like the music industry can afford expensive lawyers after losing trillions of dollars per day to teh pirates. Those lawyers will have been on less than minimum wage.
yeah i"m sure they are applying for a job flipping burgers right now so they can at least get minimum
I think a lot of programmers would rather just be busy elsewhere, or make it as complicated as possible so it earns a lot of money and the project fails under it's own weight.
When you're paying a few million for a Cray, paying top salaries for programmers who can take advantage of it is the only sensible way of getting a return on that investment. When you're paying $500 for a multicore server, paying top salaries costs a lot more than just upgrading to a $5000 server.
$1200 for a multi core server with three Chinese indentured slave programmers, service for ten years. China software-factory sweat shop escape-and-rebellion insurance and translation services not included.
Every system can be "gamed," so get over that. However, to believe that a computer malfunction is conspiracy is itself a "naive belief."
Until you've been in a system with little or no liberties, and no ability to call someone on their errant behaviors, you do not know how good life is now.
So what's your point?
Point = naive belief. So, how much do you stand to lose? In money, I meant, not puffy pride. Be careful to not get hurt, ok?

Wall st plots a failed coup attempting to bribe a few senators and spies. Congress shuts down several corporations, has police arrest executives, who mysteriously disappear the next day, as well as a few senators. Security contractors secure corporation offices, which return to functioning. Newspapers align with corporations and publish numerous humiliating stories of non-corporate senate and congress members in an attempt to discredit and force them out. National Guard barricade, corporate buildings, order military security contractors to stand down, unsuccessfully. Offshore tax haven nations accept executives request for asylum, offers citizenship, government positions and security. Barge with trucks loaded with helicopter parts and unspecified munitions seized by the Coast Guard departing from Florida, crew found to be employed by Lockheed Martin.

Military contractors set up communications center in Union, NJ to coordinate media and security against terrorists, secure services of unnamed contractors, military helicopters observed on location daily. National Guard tear gas barricaded corporate "employees", find they are merely young people posing as employees, buildings are empty. National Guard, with Army reinforcements, takes over national communications infrastructure for emergency communications, announces curfew, warns population of rogue elements carrying weapons in workplaces in NY and NJ. Barricades are seen in tunnels and bridges. Markets fluctuate wildly, gaining and losing daily. Canada and Mexico send diplomatic teams to mediate conflict. "Missing Person" signs and stories begin to appear frequently, quickly addressed by both governments and corporations. Roads and airports out of the country are full. The United Nations sets up 'complementary' offices in Montreal, and meetings take place there. Manhattan's East Side becomes a ghost town. People trade underground newspapers and DVD's in cafes and street corners, with dozens of unconfirmed stories, such as distant government and corporate military bases, prisons, murders, disappearances. Some government and corporate offices are abandoned, some barricaded and off limits, some operate normally. Stories of terrorists attacking governments and corporations are always in the news. Culprits are always arrested quickly and confess. All are foreigners and operated alone or with foreign support. Washington DC and NYC have frequent subway and train maintenance
Games have rules, strategies, inspectors, and punishment too. Nobody wants to admit it, but these markets are full of shams at all levels -- "legislation and regulation" is just enough to keep the whole game from collapsing, not to make it honest.

End naive belief, and see overall it's unsustainable long-term, as more profit and waste comes out, and less rational, productive labor goes in. It's not work, economy, and productivity for years, just money gaming. Play according to greed and ability. Enron, Arthur Anderson, Madoff, "subprime" investors, etc were caught in their bluff, but many, many others continue just fine, thank you.

If correct, these stats could be interesting, and worth investigating more. They could also be a bundle of meaningless misleading numbers, as many are. However, I would say the developers themselves will, in their sales history numbers, have much more data, which will show more relevant results.

I'm not sure why an abandoned site with a dead blog and no progress is somehow seen as un "Open source" like - the poster has clearly not looked at many open source projects!
Somehow or other, you would assume this "open source project" had a little funding, at least for one developer to update the blog and one line of code in 18 months. I heard they had programmers at Microsoft.. come to think of it, maybe the regular undecipherable-source-software gets written by the salespeople, accountants and lawyers?
We have so many os's and platforms and software that we keep tossing and changing to keep everything incompatible. There's tons of software for lots of os's. Stuff like wine, executor, hypervisors and emulators are perhaps where we will end up having the largest number of software titles being able to run.

British Petroleum would lose the well permanently and have to drill a new one.

I thought they already were drilling something like a "relief well?"

Question -- are the original back doors real or fake on the original routers, and on the fake routers ?

I believe somebody said once "the amount of intelligence on Earth remains constant"...
I wager it goes down during wars, dictatorships, televised games, and elections. Orders are to destroy anyone who is nonconforming.
i often thought about making a sourceforge project out of it.... :)
I have often searched for how to set that up.
Network multi-booting is great to allow people to change OS's, but it's pretty complex to set up, and there is little knowledge of it.

demonstrate to creators that patents and copyright must attempt to balance everyone's interests in order to benefit anyone.
The easiest middle ground seems to be to limit the years they are valid. 75 years after death is a bit much.
