I'd say The Steve hasn't exactly kept it a secret whom he views as his heir apparent.
AOL shows ads on its Netscape properties as well, along with other sites it owns such as Mapquest.
It's also important to understand that revenues and profits are not the same thing. Revenues are income from operations. Profits are what's left over from your income after you substract liabilities, which include expenses, short and long debt and a few other things.
WHile HP-UX isn't going anywhere (HP-UX 11iV4 and 11iV5 are planned), it hasn't really been HP's biggest area of sales growth. While they expect to keep HP-UX on Integrity for a while, the company's main server strategy has switched to Linux on Intel, Linux on Integrity (Itanium) and Windows on Intel.
HP is already the (somewhat distant) #2 player in high-end UNIX and proprietary systems, after IBM. I don't think they have that much interest in scale-out commodity Lintel/Wintel crap.
Actually, I've recently discovered that some of the code in question has been pulled from the source repository, right around the time the lawsuit began. This is getting interesting...
The last time they made this claim, they just assumed that every computer sold without an OS, sold with FreeDOS, or sold with Linux installed was sold to someone pirating Windows.
This claim is silly of course.
For example, with computers sold to companies, whatever OS is on the disk is usually replaced by a volume-licensed copy of some version of WIndows. Many companies, therefore, will buy these computers with no OS or FreeDOS loaded in order to lower the per-workstation cost.
I'm sure there are actually a bunch of individuals who are installing pirated copies of WIndows.or other Microsoft software, but simply counting the number of computers sold with no OS or with FreeDOS assumes an awful lot.
I know very little about microbiology, but could that have significantly affected growth rates of all/certain types of bateria or killed them altogether?
Yeah, I'm betting that's the case. Certain types of bacteria can't live in below-freezing temperatures.
But seriously, the first file linked to in TFS is a bog-standard Java datastructure; you could give the specs to any reasonably competent dev and probably get code that was "infringing".
Yep.
Much of the code in question was also released by Oracle itself in the OpenJDK under the GPL V2. So, at worst Google is guilty of applying an ASF license to GPL licensed code.
This is NOT the correct size screwdriver for external screws on the iPhone 4. That driver can be found here: 5-point iPhone 4 driver
Furthermore, it's clear that Apple's pentalobular screwdriver is not the same pentalobular screwdriver that was patented in 1974 and widely available today for ~$2 and that the screwdriver that you does work to take them out is less than perfect.
We recommend you use this driver to remove the 5-point screws and replace them with the equivalent Phillips screws, and not for repeated disassembly and reassembly of your phone. This driver does not meet the quality standards we usually require for our tools, however it is currently the best solution available. It is not an industrial or heavy duty tool. May have some slight misalignment of the shaft or tip.
History books are written by people and people have motives.
History is NOT what you read.
You're right. HIstory books can't possibly represent the entire depth of human experience for each historical event. Just different people at the time an event is occurring will see that event differently and remember different details due to seeing the world through different individual filters and having different motives, the same thing occurs among historians. The good thing is that while history books are written by people, all with their own motives and their own filters, there are a lot of history books and a lot of historians, and the best research is always peer reviewed. So while we can't get a 100% accurate accounting of the past that represents the entire depth of human experience for that event, if we do enough research we can get a pretty good idea.
And Ellsberg was quite villified; the good news is that this generally means that as villified as Assange is now, history will probably remember him quite differently.:)
Meh. Google's betas beat the hell out many others' released software in terms of stability and reliability. Chrome is certainly more stable the Firefox and IE, beta or no.
The "certifications" I refer to aren't related to "professional engineer". What mean when I say "electrical engineers are not usually licensed" is just that; I worked for a major aerospace company that employed tons of electrical and mechanical engineers, virtually none of which were Professional Engineers.
Not all engineers are licensed. Civil engineers are usually licensed. Mechanical engineers and electrical engineers are usually not licensed. Similarly, there is no licensure for system engineers. There are "certifications" but these are essentially meaningless.

Actually profits are are left over from when your assets, which includes your income, but also includes other assets.

Mine does, but it's an old Latitude D610. Nothing too special, but it runs Xubuntu nicely.

I'm sure HP isn't interested at all in the Linux on Intel. :-/

So you're not familiar with the large-organization enterprise agreements, I see.
Read the part in that document where it talks about "Enterprise Agreements." Unlike ordinary volume licensing, the price is fixed per device.

o_O Please don't feed Slashdot to the trolls!
It says right on that page:

IOW, GP is full of shit.

Except for the part about it being external, you could say the exact same thing for Firefox; Gecko is actually older than WebKit by quite a bit.
You will be assimilated. Resistence is futile.
Meh. Google's betas beat the hell out many others' released software in terms of stability and reliability. Chrome is certainly more stable the Firefox and IE, beta or no.
More like except virtually any PKI algorithm. RSA is not alone in this.
Much better car analogy. Thank you. :)
Car analogy:
Assuming that cars can be proven on a test track quickly, can the cars themselves also be built quickly?
Sorry. That's the best I can do.
I'm glad I watched the video all the way through before I read tha......uh, oh, gotta run the bathroom. BRB!
