For a very short time, I authoritatively knew the Reset roadmap for a well-known manufacturer's linux line: I owned it. More granular, the reset roadmap separated the reset of configuration versus userdata (clear), and exports this to the user so that the user knows exactly what is being altered (config or data). I assume that this roadmap hasn't changed since it is rooted in upper-level architecture requirements.
I only relate this information -- as much as I can without risking my job, I think -- to let you know that what you know as "reset" will improve over the next 12 months.
I don't buy a certain watch just because a certain athlete wears it -- I tend to read the product information myself.
For the same reason, I read the information related to the brief, I didn't just skim the unbiased (ha!) reporting of PJ.
Did we ever, BTW, find out who pays PJ's paycheck, and why groklaw's contact address was coincidentally close to the local IBM site? And suddenly shifted to an anonymous Holding? Or do we all still think she works for free? Sure, there are a few non-SCO articles there, one or two, so now it must be above-board? Nope, my alarm clock's not ringing, not time to wake up and smell any coffee. back to the thread...
If IBM ignored the GPL, we'd be all over them; the fact that IBM ignored a corporate licensing agreement, to the benefit of Linux, suddenly that's OK. I wonder if we have let our affiliation with OpenSource bias us against the agreements that have been broken.
Have you seen the code? I'm not asking for those who feel important by saying that it would bias them against working on Linux (smell the cheese?), I'm asking: have you seen the code, and personally read all the legal work, or are you regurgitating someone else's opinion? That's all I ask. Read it yourself, all of it. Ask why SCO ever started this -- and look for the actual reason, actually try to understand.
If you paid a consultant to build something for you, and as part of the agreement, there was some other transfer of money, licenses, other agreements, and then he sells it to your competitor as well, You might be a bit unhappy about it. Your secret-sauce from your UNIX, developed as part of the agreement with a 3rd-party, has been improperly released when that third-party was purchased. How does that make you feel?
Libraries represent education and literature; education gives the spark of innovation a direct route to invention which truly defines western civilizations.
I'm posting this from China, where of course education is a prize to fight for, and the "weaker" ones don't get onto the list of those permitted to continue to a higher education -- yeah, that middle-school mark really means something....and for 5000 years of civilization, China is behind many younger western civilizations.
My point may be vague here, and I apologize. I attempt to draw a parallel between education-without-barriers and innovation, but as a tax-payer without the right to vote, I cannot even exercise my little voice in reinforcing this point. poor me (boo hoo). Just pointing out the "slippery slope" argument we all know.
The Party in China is like a multiple-personality dictator. Their goal is to make money for themselves while avoiding a revolution that will change that ability to make money. There might be some members who are keenly concerned with the wellfare of China, but Absolute Power might change that over time.
Randomly adding laws that are evil, where's the profit there?
The money-trail for this new work seems like:
Virii and spam slow down my worker-drones
the H3rb@1 Vi@gr@ anger story (unlikely)
Spam might anger my people (revolt)
The banned content (wikipedia, et al) might be arriving as Spam (support the Great Firewall of China) -- you knew that Spam Sees a Firewall as an Error and Routes Around it, right?
A virus might be a malicious tool of a foreign government, and MII is concerned
Requiring a subpoena -- requiring that the full procedure be followed -- ensures that this procedure will only be done when it's truly necessary. If it's too easy, it becomes just like "rounding up the usual suspects" as a means of investigation.
"We have a peeping tom, so be sure to check for him at the library, hockey rink, baseball park, grab his vehicle tags, cross-reference his EZ-Pass (transponder-based toll device) find out the times he passes on/off the GSP, see if he has too many or too few assets and salary, credit report, job hours (and when he reports late), check airline tickets, and see if his family were members of the Communist Party..."
Spamhaus blocked me for no reason, only that my provider had one bad domain of a bazillion -- the entire 20-bit netmask was blocked, and other IP blocks owned by the same provider. Of course the only way to undo that was to get proof-of-life from a backbone provider. Yeah, right. They've got more important things to do. "Hi, you don't know me, but without any way to pay you, I need you to send an email to some self-righteous little blacklist who suffers from insufficient attention-to-detail".
Suffer from their "justice", and you may have a different opinion.
At least Spamcop automatically "cools" an IP after it shows no spam, uses actual evidence, and seems to be much more precise than Spamhaus.
As a Western user currently residing in Beijing, I can warn you that you may underestimate how often a very common (in the West) tool is unavailable. Consider having spotty access to google and gmail, and zero access to any blog or wikipedia tool.
Yeah, it's more than porn... but that's not to say I don't miss porn too... considering my login...
Exactly... For Chinese New Year, I took an A1200 to Hainan, a tropical province, and connected both cameras and my mobile phone to my laptop (gf wanted to check MSN) with the same cable (not at once mind you, but made for simpler packing). The phone charges from USB, too.
If I lose my cable, I don't need to order one, I go to the little shop on the corner, and they have one. I guess Motorola realized it's not in the Cables and Wires business.
Crazier still is that the Airport Extreme AP has a USB port, and will talk the more basic protocols, so I don't have a charger: I just have a standard USB cable from the A.E. AP. I have to make sure the phone is in Modem or USB Storage mode, since A.E. AP has no USB-Net compatibility. USB-Net through the A.E. AP would rock for transferring MP3s! (and sexy photos of afore-mentioned gf)
The A1200 has only a 10MB userfs, so a Tflash is quite necessary.
MacOSX doesn't like the factory-format of the TFlash, and A1200 doesn't like the format of a Mac-formatted TFlash (via USB-disk), but letting the A1200 reformat the TFlash makes a perfectly functional filesystem.
