I'd assume that anyone who puts their code in the public domain doesn't really give a crap who does what with it. It's not like your code is somehow magical and no one else could ever have come up with it. At best you're just saving someone else some time.
Meh, GPL does not qualify as "free" to me. There are strings attached that do not allow you to do anything you like with the code. If someone wants to use my code in a closed source project, I really don't care. My code is still out there for others to use.
Because online services that use open software allow anyone to come in and fix bugs?

Lulu Introduces DRM
·
· Score: 3, Insightful
DRM is nothing more than an attempt make digital media more like physical media. For example, you can't easily copy a book to give to a friend. You can, however, easily give a copy of an ebook to a friend. DRM makes it so you cannot easily give a copy of an ebook to a friend.
DRM, when done right, is fine with me. But we rarely seen it done right, and honestly, I'm not entirely sure what it would look like.
The primary purpose of an antivirus is to keep you from getting infected in the first place. Cleaning up an existing infection is secondary and, in a growing number of cases, impossible.
I usually feel pretty nervous when I go through the security lines because I have no idea what to expect from the TSA. I don't know what they're going to do or if I'm doing everything right. It doesn't help at all when you read other travelers' horror stories about the TSA.
I actually get more value out of the addons in Firefox than the speed boost in Chrome. This is mainly because I usually open a bunch of links in new tabs first, and then go through and read them. In this situation, speed isn't that important.
Your Mac will show up as an actual access point instead of an ad-hoc wireless network with ICS enabled? No, it won't. This is different then what Windows, OS X, and desktop Linux distros have been doing before.
Thanks for not answering my question and going off on a tangential rant.
I have tons of apps installed that I use on a regular basis, and they're many of the same ones that I used in XP. So when I hear someone say that Windows 7 is "horribly incompatible" and my experience has been that it IS compatible, I feel like I need some examples that I can test to see for myself.
This is going to sound crazy, but did you try the XP driver? I installed an older ATI card on a machine with Vista awhile back and used the XP driver because I couldn't find a Vista one and somehow it worked. Odd, but cool.

Who can sue over a GPL violation? Doesn't it have to be the author of the code?

Are these things going to detect levels of fear? Is it even possible?

I also do the tab thing because sometime when I hit Back it loses my spot on the page.
lol, yes I did.

Because it works.
Except with their new scheme, you can't even get the "up to" speed if you use it for more than 15 minutes.
>mechanical cables suck ass to put in and are more prone to failure!
Have some numbers to back that up or is today baseless-assertion day and no one told me?
Here's from my blog which has a good amount of Ubuntu centric content:
Internet Explorer 53%
Firefox 31%
Opera 10%
Safari 3%

How do you validate audio?
I actually liked the movie. Not really anything like the stories in the books, but it still managed to cover some of the ideas from the books.

Since these investigations appear to be common, it seems to me that the public would become indifferent to them after awhile.

"Its still horribly incompatible with older applications"
Like what? I'm genuinely curious because I can't think of any programs that I haven't been able to run.
I thought Vista and Windows 7 drivers were the same thing...
No, your hardware has become that obsolete.
