1) The company has rights over the entire source code, bought from the original maintainer. There is NO other code from contributors.
2) The whole thing is written from scratch for Windows. No MTR code is used.
If the code for v0.9 looks anything like this, no it doesn't. There are direct copies from Matt's Traceroute (mtr), so I've forked your previous Sourceforge project, as is my right under the GNU General Public License.
Lung cancer is not the sole smoking-related disease. In fact, it's not even the most prevalent; that honor goes to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
And, yes, there areplenty of studies showing a positive correlation between marijuana use and COPD.
Well, I'm not normally in favor of taxes and regulations, but if you legalize pot, it's inevitable. Me, I'm an anarchocapitalist. But I live under no delusion that our current system of government is going anywhere anytime soon.
No, the problem is that there are many businesses that feel that they don't need the security gates, cameras, alarms, guards, and other security measures because, well, they're in a low-profile office or industrial park and they think no one will bother them.
It's a bit like putting Apache on a non-default port and then not bothering with security updates, passwords, etc., and then complaining later that someone hacked your server. You have no one to blame but yourself.
You want an argument for legalization? Here you go: (And I don't even use marijuana!)
If a bunch of pot smokers want to turn their brains to Jello and wreck their lungs, throats and mouths, let them. They are hurting no one but themselves. If you' say that we'll have increased health care spending, so what? If pot were legalized, you can believe that A) every single private health insurance company is going to mandate tests for marijuana and other drugs and deny coverage to those smoking pot without a prescription. Then they'll be stuck with public health care, which will not treat them because public health care is now using the same private health insurance companies mentioned above.
Besides, legal or not, they're going to do it anyway.
Plus, you can now tax the hell out of it, regulate the content (pot laced with other drugs like Angel Dust or PCP would still be illegal). regulate the THC content (no extra-injected THC), and rake in tons of cash when you fine the violators and all the excise taxes. Criminalize sales to minors, of course. More cash when you jail and fine the violators. State could license sales like they do alcohol now; more cash. Cha-ching!
Plus, it frees up the police to focus on real crimes, cleaning up crack and meth, etc.
No, the metric system is in use in the United States. Just not for everything. It's the same way in the U.K, BTW--don't Brits go off to the pub for a couple of pints? It's not called a couple half-liters now is it?
Notice that I did not make a value judgement in my post above. I simply called out Intel's spokespeople speaking about Intel Insider for being the liars that are and told you, in no uncertain terms, what DRM actually is.
Value judgements are for you to make.
"Does not a rose by any other name smell as sweet?"
That is the biggest load of bullshit I have ever read.
Does it prevent you from making a copy? If so, yes it's DRM, which is essentially a euphemism for the older term 'copy protection'.
They're just trying to say that it's not DRM because DRM has become as much a four-letter word as 'copy protection' has always been, thanks to advocates like the EFF.
Saying that Intel Insider is like HDCP and HDCP is found in BluRay players and the PS3 doesn't make it not DRM, because HDCP is -- surpise! -- DRM.
If they succeed in getting the law changed, they then get to sue the inventors of the technology for violating their patents.
That's exactly why a first-to-file system would be worse than what we have now. I could file a patent on, say, "system of transportation involving round things mounted on a spindle" and totally pwn the entire auto industry, having invented exactly nothing.
Just what we need, a patent system that makes more money for lawyers.
I agree that the 6502 was more orthogonal -- I wrote several assembler programs on the Apple II as well. OTOH, I never thought the x86 instruction set was that bad. For better or worse, it appears that we're stuck with it, anyhow.:)
I wrote a couple of non-trivial programs assembler programs on the TRS-80, which uses the Zilog Z-80 processor at 1.78 mHz. Wasn't too bad, it has more registers than 6502. The only bad thing was the lack of a multiply instruction.
True, but when you get into items more complicated than a screw, like, say flight avionics or tank nav system? You can't begin to believe the quality control problems that exist.
The NFC stuff in the Nexus S is supposed to be compatible with stuff like Mastercard's PayPass; it may be a while before the banks add support/apps for this. They already have those at every McDonald's in Florida.

Maybe the iPhone 5, featuring Apple's new iLapDance technology?
Oh, no doubt. I didn't mean to imply that this wasn't the case.

The part that says #include <stdio.h>
Clearly WinMTR 0.8 is based on Matt's Traceroute. See my comment attached to TFA.
See my other post in this thread. Long story short: marijuana causes COPD; I never said anything about lung cancer.

What's not to like?
Troll much, astroturfer?
No, I haven't forgotten who you are.

Um, what? It's perfectly standard English to write it either way.
*sigh*

The two of you need to get a globe. Google has a free one.

I thought John Titor was looking for an IBM 5100?

Sadly, a lot of stuff sold to consumers is actually better than "mil spec". Disclosure: I used to work for a major aerospace and defense contractor.

What is no?
I'll take "Idiot Politicians" for $200, Alex.
