Big issue here if you were trying to be closed source.
Very true!
And is the exact problem I'm running into. I've been working on a project for a year and been using Ext (and have migrated to 2.0 recently) and my company expects the project to be closed. Under the LGPL, it's fine. If I want to update to the newest POINT release (under GPL) I have to open the project up or be forced to purchase a commercial license. I'm not against to purchasing good software, but it does seem a little bait and switch.
Maybe if you people actually drove a few miles AWAY from the turnpike and parkway, and NYC.. A few miles away? You mean Pennsylvania, Delaware, and the Atlantic?

Hello Katie? This is a your baby the reincarnated L. Ron Hubbard, I just talked to Xenu and he changed his mind, he want the office supplies...something about using them as bodies for alien spirits?
I agree. Another example of Microsoft's "clever" marketing. What's interesting though is that Gates made a comments back in July saying they were looking at incorporating HD DVD. teamXbox has a story on it here
The PS3 will support HD-DVD out of the box so Microsoft will have to support it at some point next year just to keep up with the PS3.
The problem with Japanese sales is the lack of a great blockbuster. There has only been 6 titles released for them: Perfect Dark Zero, Ridge Racer 6, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, Every Party, FIFA 06: Road to FIFA World Cup and Tetris: The Grandmaster Ace.
It's a shame that Microsoft is waiting until the release of PS3 before releasing Halo3. If they had released H3 with the 360 they might have done better in Japan, but hey who is really broken up about it?
It's sad that all you guys want to talk about is the spread of **Beatles articles, when you have an important discovery to talk about. Who cares even if he found the article on MSNBC
I just lost my step-mom to brain and lung cancer so for the people that this kind of article affects it's important. How about you talk about the choices of **Beatles somewhere else and let the rest of us talk about the issue at hand. Cancer research is probably the most important kind of study going on right now.
Plus I think you'd have a little bit more perspective if you were the cancer patient!!
That'll bring down your NIMBY score...
I'd put a skateboarding halfpipe next to him, maybe that will improve the area.

You're reading/., and your desk phone, Linc radio, & cell goes off at the same time, you just heard your blackberry go off so you switch over to Outlook (because for now your bb gets email before Outlook syncs with Exchange (don't be hatin, I'm at work)) by the time the flurry is over your hour lunch just became a 2 and half hour connect-fest and all you really did was leave a post on/.
You have to keep in mind what patents are for. They are intended to promote investment in innovation and technology. The problem is that if you invest time and money into inventing something new, you may actually put yourself at a competitive disadvantage once you finish. Your competitors can now make the same product and sell it at a lower price, since they did not make such an investment. Patents are intended to solve this problem by guaranteeing a monopoly on the product for a limited time, so you can make a reasonable return on your investment.
This being true then why are there software patents? Aside from time, how much of an initial investments do developers make? I guess that's why there is such a move to open source.
Something of interest to point out. Even/. has a method of granting user's rights to an original idea or post. If you post something that already has been said in a thread, it is deemed redundant. The creator of the original post therefore maintains their "rights" for what has been posted. What is the point? People should have the right to control their intellectual property (IP) but such IP shouldn't be so generalized (as in today's patents) it should be specific to the implementation.
The plan is to crush any differences that are "too different" from them and it is already in motion.
This, and many other statements made in these comments come from ignorance of the issue.
I can understand if you want your shoot-em up kill-em, sexual teaser, profanity lovin entertainment, it's your right as an American to go to hell as quickly as you can.
I can also understand that there are over zealous "evangelicals" that want to prevent you from enjoying your GOD given right to go to hell.
As for the few of us, it just makes sense to completely detact from the TV and avoid it. ?!!? What are you some kind of hermit?...somekind of freak? Why would anyone do something so radical?
For many reasons:
1. The effects of violence, sex and language can have on your behaivor.
2. The intellectual drain
3. Waste of time
Just to name a few.
Just think about if you spend the same amount of time in a new area of study that you do watching TV how much more intellegent you would be. Instead of catching that repeat of Will and Grace, why don't you study molecular biology, or thermodynamics, or any of the numerous mathmatical theories. Or perhaps you can explore the many belief system in the world, and try to crack open the extensive spiritual & intellectual power that you posse, instead of wasting away on someones creativity.
What I don't entirely understand is that in many countries it is illegal to sell something below the cost it takes to manufacture it. This is to prevent monopolies, antitrust issues and makes a penetration pricing entry strategy infeasible.
But look a the UK, it has this kind of economic system setup however, M$ is selling the Xbox360 at the comparable US price.
First off, I was born in Indian, grew up in Illinois, Alabama, & New Jersery. So I think I can say I'm some what of an authority on sociologic behavior in different parts of the country.
Let me emphatically proclaim no part of this country has the corner market on stupidity, selfishness, ineptitude, & inbreeding!! I can safely say it's distributed pretty evenly.
Now to address the main issues:
American Economics:
It's a sad day in American economic when an individual would prefer to talk to someone oversea rather than a born and bred American (inbred or not).
American Bigotry:
I find it interesting that the reason why it's acceptable for people to make fun of southerners is because we are a bunch of bigots and we deserve it.
Stay with me...
The definition of racism is: "The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others."
In this case there is a school of thought outside the south that their character or abilities are superior that that of southerners. So basically, it's OK to be a bigot as long the people it's directed at are bigots?
In the words of Austin Powers "I hate people that are intolerant, and I hate the Dutch"
American Religion
Just one thing: It's freedom OF religion not freedom FROM religion. Any system of belief that looks to remove God from an establishment is agnostic or atheist, which is in fact a set of religion belief. Therefore by removing God from federal establishments you are creating a government religion of Agnosticism or Atheism. Southerners know this...
I heard Microsoft was sub-contracted out to do the programming on these, but ran into problems when they wanted to use "Microsoft" every time someone muttered innovation.
Most import question any of us should be asking ourselves is how does this give Oracle a competitive advantage...or how does this make Oracle money? I have some ideas, but mostly just suppositions, not cold hard facts (Maybe I should read the earnings report I got from them?)
I'm a firm believer that there can be balance between OSS & Non-OSS (MySQL being a good example). It's troubling to see "Corporates" making certain power plays that in the end do not help the little guy. I suppose another question then is: Is this such a move?
I'm amazed by the stereotypical response here... You are actually creating an antithesis in which to argue your point. For the record, both Windows and Linux have there strengths and weaknesses, and yes one of Linux's greatest strengths is the distribution of its source code & developer base. However, in terms of market share, Windows has Linux beat. The question, that is more intriguing, is why? Why is an OS that is free, not have the largest market share? And unfortunately, the answer is consolidation. M$ is able to control what happens in the Windows "System", because it is closed (see System Theory.
In chaos theory, a butterfly that beats it's wings creates a tidal wave thousands of miles away (see Butterfly Effect), this is the way of the Linux "System", any number of develops beating there wings in order to contribute to the whole, it's an open system.
The best way for Linux development to complete with Windows is for business transactions (like with Mandriva and Lycoris) to occur.
One last thought, don't be blinded by and idealist views of Open Source and Closed Source. Although, Open Source is generally good, it's not above its deviousness. Try search for "google hiring Microsoft executives" in Google and see what the first listing is. Or take a look at this. Not to nock Google, I love it....my intention is to point out a major proponent of Open Source, doing whatever it takes to complete.
You spoil the humor in the comment if you need to explain it.
Think outside the legalistic box and try to appreciate the spirit in which I intended the comment.
Technically speaking, if you consider that Microsoft and China are both systems, then neither is being assimilated into the other. However, what M$ has created is a symbiotic relationship between the two systems. In this relationship the two are mutually benefiting from the other's existence. My point was that M$ is willing to enter into that symbiotic relationship and accept a totalitarian government's requirements in order to proliferate its monopolistic agenda. In essence, "assimilate" that government's political, sociological and economical distinctiveness. In a Marxist system, everyone is considered equal, as long as they are running M$ products.
Now if I had said all that would it have been just has funny??
From vnunet article
"Apple could use the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) chip to ensure that only Mac computers can run its OS X operating system"
Take note that the Gartner analysis points out that Windows can run on the new Intel-Macs, could the use of the TPM chip mean that Apple trying to prevent Windows from running on it's hardware??
As in most industries there are raises and falls in stock prices, it's a safe bet to assume that we would start seeing tech stocks rise in value. The first wave is over and people are starting to recover from the tsunami that was March of 2000. We'll see people be more cautious with there choices which will help this wave be one of tech's stories of redemption, rather than mania.
However, don't be fooled after every crescendo, climax, upsurge if you will, there is always the trip down. The key being knowing when to hold, and knowing when to fold.

This is an incredible breakthrough, transistors are the most important invention of the 20th century!
