No. My understanding (from the document) is as such:
If you have a software package that you are *distributing*, you must release all GPL source code that went into building the binary. In most cases, specifically noncommercial, you can simply say 'I used gcc, linux 2.6.21, readline, etc. unmodified'. The source is available from their respective websites, and if you were a 'good citizen' you would mirror that source code yourself.
Now, what about your 'proprietary' software that you wrote? From what I gather on this document, the following is true:
1. Did you modify the source code of any GPL software? If yes, simply publish the modified source along side with your application, or provide a notice saying that it is available upon request.
2. Are you using GPL software 'as intended'? Linux is intended to 'launch software', etc. GCC is intended to 'compile sources', etc. If you can reasonably say you are 'using the software as intended', you are fine.
It is my understanding that the GPL does not care about what 'other software' you are using on your system. The GPL only cares about GPL software. The hard part is determining exactly when your own software inherits the GPL license - and this is defined by the legal term 'Derivative Work'. PS: crap how do I do line breaks?
Actually I had no idea that SoC participants got paid. I planned on applying with the intention of volunteer work - I guess this makes the program that much better.
I don't like admitting it, but I took four years (eight semesters?) of latin in high school. Mostly As all the way through. I dont know a lick of latin. I can recognize things and say "oh. that... looks familiar somehow", but thats it. Some kids were able to write, but come on speak? that was out of the question!
This was only two years ago.
Yes. I've only taken one philosophy class, but the one fact that I couldn't quite cope is that it is commonly believed that we only get a long out of self interest. This includes the view that says "if there are no laws, I would be killing you now and stealing your X". I would like to think we're further along than this, but think of any situation of mass panic in the state of emergency (Katrina?).
ha thanks for the advice, I really should get a grounding band. The funny thing is once when I broke my video card, all I did was install a heat sink on tile floor very carefully. I didn't even put hardly any pressure on the core, but I did something wrong. Maybe I crushed it? there was a line down the screen every 8th pixel or something.
hahaha, it really isn't too hard to do. It turned my module into a really nice keychain:) I asked a dell tech once if he'd ever done it, and he replied "did the pin on the far left glow orange?". I said "sure did."
of course, this is DDR. I don't know about the rest of them.
While this might seem like a blatent newegg fanboy rant, here is my story:
Newegg is the best company I have ever done business with. period. I have built several personal computers with them. I am to the point where I will buy from them even if I can get a product for 15% cheaper somewhere else. The number one thing that they have going is customer service. period. Sure, they are consistent. They prices are awesome, and the website is very helpful. But they have a hands down no questions asked return policy. I take advantage and it makes my life SO much easier. All of these cases below are from the same hardware purchase, and the same model of hardware.
I am on my fifth video card. For whatever reason, over the past year and a half my video cards haven't worked properly. Sometimes it was because I was dissatisfied with the performance. Maybe I fried it when installing on shag carpet. it doesn't matter. A year and a half later, and five cards later, I have not paid nothing more but shipping for replacements which are covered by manufacturers warranty.
I am on my third motherboard. I blew out one by putting the ram in backwards (note: WHAT? HOW DID YOU DO THAT! THEY ONLY FIT IN ONE WAY!. Thats what I thought. MAN! You wanna see fireworks? Try putting ram in the back of an Antec Aria case in a dark room. You hear a click and think its in. You think "That was a little tough to get in, but hey! it made a click!". Have you ever seen a northbridge chip explode?) Another one got hit by a power outage. I dont even have to lie to get an RMA. "Hey. My Motherboard smells like burnt plastic. I need a new one."
I am on my fifth ram stick. I bought two 512mb sticks, and I can't get them to play nice together when overclocking. I blamed bad memory sticks, but it may be other issues. They work great for stock speeds, but I needed more.
I have several other stories, but these are the most extreme over the last two years. Obviously I tend to tinker a bit more than a regular PC user, but newegg is my krutch. They have 100% of my business.
This is like ford selling fire extinguishers to owners of trucks that spontaneously catch fire. What more could you ask for then to cash in on your own screw ups?
Ford: Hey, we're sorry about the whole your-truck-burst-into-flames-in-your-driveway issue. We could fix the issue, but that'd be a hassle for everyone. Ensure that you never worry about truck fires again with our OneExtinguish(tm) all encompassing fire retardant package.
But, in their defense (hah!), If they gave it away for free they would be in some serious anti-trust issues.
As a student who is rather naive to the process of managing domains, what kind of process is involved when it comes to deciding a new top level domain? Also, aside from the given national domains, what is the life cycle of a potential domain that could possibly come to existance, and how do external groups affect the decision (i hate to be cliche, but for example:.xxx domains and the pressure from right wing groups to prevent the domain from allowing a general 'acceptance' of the genre.xxx assumes)?

The point of a clicker is not to be antisocial. We use them in very large halls with 100+ students. The professor wants to get a general concensus, so he puts a sample problem on the board (that may or may not require calculations). You as a student can either bullshit or actually do the problem, but either way it allows the professor to say "can someone who answered B tell me why?" while also allowing attendance. Its annoying, but it serves a good purpose.
This happened to me as well. I had a document for my sister's term paper that I exported as a PDF, and hotmail told me it was a virus. It was named something like 'summer.pdf'. I didn't understand, because PDFs should not have viruses, right?
If you search for Jabber, there are additional options there now that were *not* there a few hours ago, such as "Use Jabber for IM". There are a few other changes, like a search for "CNN" suggests CNN Finance and other links under the link to CNN Homepage. I have never noticed these before.
lmao i wish i had mod points, that ruled.
A few years back i printed out 500 stickers of "all your base are belong to us" and my friends and I put them _everywhere_ we could.
So I've got a 2 floppy turntables, now I just have to figure out how to make a mixer out of this old ISA Network card and party speakers out of my Scuzzy CD-ROM.
See, I think its funny how they even thought of how a computer works. They say in the book "in the future computers will be able to handle more jobs". It isnt really talking in terms of speed, but complications. ie: computers of the future wont computer faster, but computer more complex things.
See, when I read "weight of the internet" I thought it was talking about Physical Weight.
It'd be sweeter if you took all the bandwidth data divided it by the speed of light (or whatever), and came up with the weight of the individual electrons of data at any given moment. Now THAT would be "taking Physics to a new dimension"!
I used a bootable DOS CD, and read files off of a FAT drive. You could even skip the DOS drive and burn the BIOS image into the CD as well. I even backed up the original BIOS on my FAT drive as well. It worked flawlessly.
It sure beat my original solution: stretching the floppy cable from an old 75mhz PII that I had sitting next to my minicase.
I think this is a great idea. Sure, there may be some legalities involved but who cares? Thats what disclaimers are for, I suppose. I think its worth the risk, if there is even any at all. I never would have been involved in websites to this day if a few generous souls donated some webspace for me to play around with. Besides, I dont know anyone in China, its a nice way to meet some new people and get another perspective on life on the other side of the globe.
a.) XP has to be cracked to get around the on-line activation, so the user is not necessarily getting the same thing MS offers or guarantees.
XP does not have to be cracked. The popular version that is being passed around is XP Corporate, which is essentially XP Pro without activation. Its a legal and legit copy of XP. Its funny though, because even at the corporation I work for we have burned copies of XP Corporate. (Someone misplaced the original). They're not illegal until you put a license key in that you didnt pay for.
At University of Cincinnati, there are three degrees. EE, CS, and CE. I'm CE - Computer Engineering. Its a great program because I get split right down the center. Last quarter, for example, EE's specialized course was network analysis (circuits), CS was data structures, and I got stuck with BOTH! They each got an elective and I got an anal raping.
Its a great time though, you learn to like anal play.
