"OpenDesk.com public license (ODPL), and the SmartWorker public license (SWPL). The former covers applications written and hosted within OpenDesk.com. The latter covers our open source application framework, SmartWorker.
The two licenses differ in the following ways:
1. SWPL applies to the core API that OpenDesk.com is built on. However, it can also be used for non-OpenDesk.com software and, therefore, must be flexible to accommodate other uses. The SWPL will be similar in intent and structure to the GNU Library General Public License (LGPL, available at http://www.fsf.org/copyleft/lesser.html). This means that it will allow linking with non Open Source code while always remaining free and Open Source itself.
2. ODPL is more strict than SWPL insofar as it does not allow linking to non-Open Source code. Anyone who uses ODPL covered code in either a new distribution or a new server application must release the source code to their software under ODPL. While the GNU General Public License (GPL, available at http://www.fsf.org/copyleft/gpl.html) was considered, we are finalizing a license closer to the Mozilla Public License (MPL, available at http://www.mozilla.org/MPL/MPL-1.0.html) as it is clearer about uses of source code in server applications, as well as including the aforementioned patent and copyright infringement clauses."
Something like this already exists: The price for Guinness in some pubs in Dublin increases over time. First (until 11 PM), it is 2.40 (Irish pounds), then (until 12) 2.65, after then 2.90, which is quite expensive. The prices vary a bit from place to place, and not all pubs have this scheme (thanks God). Of course this makes sense, because after a couple of pints you don't mind anymore paying a bit more, and you are not 100% sure anymore whether you remembered the price correctly:-)
OK, but even this would be a fantastic achievement considering a) the huge number of *.microsoft.com sites and b) the even bigger number of crackers who hate Microsoft. Of course, from what I have heard, BSD firewalls protect these servers (can anyone confirm this?), so the first line of defense is also the last...
It is hard for me to believe that an NT based web server has been cracked for the first time. Literally millions of times such servers have been brought down with boink and other exploits ("Winnuke" like programs), and now this is supposed to be the first time that someone actually changed a file on some NT server? It's the first time it has been *reported*, as the article says, but that makes NT sound like a Fort Knox of operating systems...
Yes, there definitely *is* a gain. CORBA's inter-process communication is, despite having a very elegant concept, rather heavyweight. Every RPC, while almost completely hidden from the programmer, transfers a large amount of data between processes (which may be on the same computer or distributed). The object identifier alone is some 200+ bytes large (which allows, in theory, nice things such as process migration, but is also quite cumbersome). The libICE mechanism is more lightweight, and remember, since it is also standard, involves no overhead from the point of view of loading new shared libraries.
No, this is perfectly right. Don't you remember the visionary who said that 640K is enough for everybody? So when they need more power, they can still add the missing 128K;-)
Not having read the other replies (possibly repeating someone's suggestion), here is my favorite: Practical Programming in Tcl/Tk, by B. Welch. Covers 8.0 fully, and introduces you step by step into tcl and then tcl/tk. However, it does not cover Tix and other extensions.
Maybe the full serial # is too long so they never bothered to say the whole one... on some devices, e. g. assault guns, only four digits are shown on most parts, and only on a few parts the full (6 digit) number is printed. Which gives us a good explanation for this:)
Okay, it was a different article, and a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away (oops, wrong one;) but we had this discussion before. While US colleges may not be good enough to provide a challenge for geeks, there are still alternatives (European ones):) Anyway, the comment 'Welcome to the Dark Side' in the last discussion about that summed it up pretty well. Quick money, but the lack of theories, and maybe also versatility to move on to a different work later.

At least here, I expect to have it right. :)
