They are not cutting of any communication path, they are opening a new one where it is pretty much guaranteed that the person sending you a message has something important for you
A 25% cut out of the 50 million dollars their late father (who was killed by his enemies) left for them.
Whether he believes his posters or not is irrelevant. He's using this as a moneymaking scheme. Lay one finger on him, do one thing that violates him, and he will sue you, and more importantly, the city, the police department, the US Military, and any private property owner he happens to be standing on to make money off of it.
I think the first thing to tell your uncle is that he should get his tech advice from a more tech savvy relative who doesn't automatically assume that a forged email is done by hacking someone's account.
SAMS Teach Yourself C++ in 10 Minutes advises the following
Do not use inline functions. The compiler is better at optimizing your code than you think. Avoid using inline functions; let the compiler make your code run as fast as you can.
This is obviously not good advice.
One of the responses.
The advice is reasonable for the level at which the book is written. I think there's a consensus in the C++ community that one should not use inline functions until one has at least 14 minutes experience with the language.
Oracle is the one standing on the backs of others and returning nothing.
Oracle has contributed fixes/improvements to libstdc++, NFS, ext3. They also created the Btrfs filesystem for Linux.
Sure, they have contributed less to Linux then RH. But does that mean RH is more entitled to make money off Linux as compared to oracle. Or even as compared to someone who hasn't contributed much to Linux. There are a lot of small companies who provide commercial support for Linux & many of don't contribute much. They help Linux because the more easily & cheaper support is available for Linux, more will it's adoption grow. Competition even in providing support is always good.
I think someone needs to read a little bit more about Red Hat:
Well, it's hope Bruce Perens is following the thread.
And ask themselves, how much have I given to Open Source?

Agreed on all but the last sentence. Redhat isn't intentionally making life harder for Centos, they are making it harder for Oracle.
I am not sure about this. I think CentOS has been eating Redhat's lunch in the enterprise far more than Oracle.
Redhat speaking negatively about CentOS won't sound good - however if they speak against Oracle, it won't be so bad. I think Redhat is killing 2 birds with 1 stone here.
I did not say Redhat doesn't contribute. All I said was they are now trying to hide stuff just so that CentOS, Oracle etc can't fully understand their code.
Redhat can write their own closed sourced OS. Then no one will know enough about their OS to provide support for it.
Redhat has an OS currently to support and make money of, because of the open nature of contributions to Linux - in that spirit, they should not be trying to hide stuff.
Slashdot Mirror
After reading Mauro's grovelling post Linus extremely nasty email, my respect for Alan Cox has increased - https://lkml.org/lkml/2009/7/28/375
Who is Rafael? I thought Mauro got chewed out.
I think Linus should stop paying Mauro.
Does the prestige translate into actual business?
It's Koren for fabulous ecosystem.
It works fine for me. I have been using Microsoft's STL for 10 years now without problems - it's implemented by Plauger.
No - it doesn't mean that.

I heard it has touch screens and supports multitouch.
Well, if stupid parents had been eliminated, you may have not been here to make your stupid post.
You throw the chair on people who file stupid patents.

kumanopuusan, I think PieceOfShitAndroid has hacked your slashdot account and is using it to ask people to mod his posts up.
I think you have accidentally hacked your own account.

What do you mean by "how to link their js files"?
Back in the old days we had to walk 24 hours (12 hours each way uphill) to just a buy a book.
This is the funniest comment I have read about a SAMS Book
