IANAL but surely any patches would be considered a derivative work. If this is the case then your employer can't own them as they are a derivative work of an already open source project so the original license would still apply.
An Intel Xeon E5-2690 V2, S 2011, 10 Core, 3.0GHz costs £1500.
An AMD 3rd Gen. Opteron 6380 CPU, Abu Dhabi 16 Core, S G34 provides better performance and costs less to run yet only retails for £700.
I'd say AMD have plenty of life left in the server market and if they can achieve similar price / performance numbers relative to Intel with these new desktop chips I'd say there is some life in them in the desktop arena too!
"The R&D costs for the underlying technologies have been miniscule compared to the actual infrastructure development and maintenance costs. China and India and every other country weren't "given" the Internet, they worked hard to make enough money via trade/enterprise to pay for and build it themselves."
you're kidding. Decades of research is miniscule huh?
I think you underestimate the cost of laying under-sea fibre - about $50,000 per km.
Assuming $100,000 as a yearly salary you can buy about 2500 man-years of research for the cost of link across a decent size ocean.
EFI is a kludge. It's the same all 60's and 70's software design crap all over again. And it's proprietary. Intel has released some fairly insignificant parts of the specs, but the core is still locked up in heavily proprietary code.
Also, it's designed to force DRM on every user - read up on the 'sandbox model' in the EFI specs.
Mod this man up. This is the most informative post in this thread.
And the same company that spectacularly crashed in "double-Bud" fashion from a reverse-split-adjusted high of >$2500/share to the current $3 and change. And don't get me started on their load-balancer and router issues.
2) Remove a dictator who was ignoring UN sanctions 3) Help stop genocide
You see the problem with this is that America unconditionally supports Israel which has now been in breach of UN resolutions for longer than any other country in history...
By the constant double standards that America shows the world, and especially the peoples of that region, they are clearly causing more trouble than they are solving. If you were a Muslim in the Middle East would you honestly think that Americans were the good guys? Of course you wouldn't and to suggest that an invasion and occupation of one of your neighbours would change your mind is simply asinine.
I would have to agree with you on the intolerance thing. Check out this lovely quote...
Tasnim Aslam, a spokeswoman for the Pakistani foreign ministry, came out with this little piece of doublethink beauty: "Anyone who describes Islam as a religion as intolerant encourages violence."
2)Are you unable to parse "standard US wood framed house"? See this page on that site:
No, it was just irrelevant to the discussion at hand.
In case you are the one with reading difficulties I was replying to the A/C above who said, emphasis mine of course...
Fortunately, what's under those "spanish tiles", or slate is, wait for it..... Tar Paper! Without it, your house wouldn't be "water proof".
I was merely pointing out that we, in England, don't use tar paper under the slate. Of course, we have been using slate for roofing for several hundred years before the invention of tar paper so we didn't have the luxury of such a crutch.
You are completely wrong about this. Flash is a client side rich client [sic] that can communicate asynchronously with a server.
That's good then. There was me thinking that this was exactly what AJAX was.

The problem with a licence such as this is that it doesn't actually stop people forking the project.
Look at what happened to AT&T UNIX when the Berkeley lot started releasing patches. You needed an AT&T licence so you could patch the source but you
can't stop people distributing patches.
It is easy to call someone insane if you get to make up the proof yourself. But even then, your proof of "insanity" sure is close to western ideals. Consider all the honor reserved for "fallen heroes" who "gave their lives defending their country." It's the same damn thing, just with an ameliorative spin instead of pejorative.
I admit the concept is similar, but western heroes are generally considered to be those who gave their lives fighting against an enemy who wanted to kill them (us).
I think you can probably guess what I'm going to pull you up on here.:-)
They think you are trying to kill them. To be honest it would be hard to see another interpretation of the evidence which was more likely.
As for what these document management systems DO, mostly it is organise the "marketing collateral". Which could probably be better done by dragging the whole lot to the recycle bin!
Except the mere fact that you mention the "right common controls library" means that you have at one time or another run into that problem. Last I recall it was a problem on Windows. I've never heard of a "common controls library" for Linux.
Those are certainly larger barriers to adoption, but I do think that the more limited binary compatibility with Linux is not something that should be ignored.
You seem to be forgetting that Linux runs on much more than just x86. I like the fact that I can use the same software (I run Gentoo) on my SPARC, my x86-32 and x86-64, as well as my PPC systems. Now show me how to do that with a binary installer.
If you have the master keys (as you would, on a box you built yourself) then Trusted Computing means you *really* own your computer. You can prevent rootkit installation, and guarentee access to content no matter how DRM-encrusted. If someone else has the master key, why would you pay money for something you don't own?
If, as you suggest, we shall be in control of the "master" keys then I fail to see how it would help the content industry.
If, as I suspect, someone else shall be in control of the "master" keys then I can see perfectly clearly how it would help the content industry.
As the idea of TC and DRM are being pushed by the content industry I think it would seem logical to assume that my suspicions are in fact correct.

Presumably because you know that this project will easily last until you retire?
If you look really closely you can see a third boobie.

- If there is sufficient bandwidth available then QoS makes no noticeable difference.
- If there is insufficient bandwidth available then QoS becomes useful but...
- Anyone who wants to use realtime protocols now needs to pay extra.
- Because QoS only works if there are packets it can drop it can only improve connectivity by making other connections slower / less reliable.
- As non-premium traffic is now being dropped / slowed QoS becomes even more necessary.
I can see why ISPs are interested. They can profit more by providing less bandwidth than we need! Why should I be interested again?Shame you don't know what you're talking about...
