Before I signed up for a TurnItIn.com account, I read the Terms of Service and all other disclaimers, and NONE of them stated that I was giving them a license to use or archive my work beyond that of fair use. Seems pretty cut and dry to me: They didn't ask for a license, I did not grant them a license, thus they are infringing.
libsecondlife (http://libsecondlife.org/), our reverse engineering of the SL protocol, is coming to maturity. Although I don't think Linden Labs would like us to work on server software though, we've been lucky to have their blessing so far...
No, Google works under the premise that if you put it on the Internet you're giving people a licence to read it. As for them changing the content, where are they doing that? Truncating it, sure, but no real modifications.
I go to school in Kentucky, and KDE has one of the largest Active Directory trees in the world. We *had* to upgrade to XP. As for curriculium, all the Comp Apps classes teach Office, the school runs STI (ugh, hate it, crashes once a day), and various other windows-only apps are used throughout. We are getting Moodle integrated, but all our main servers are 2k or 2k3.
Hate to break it to ya, but Linux already supports OpenGL and SDL, two common, powerful pieces of game technology. Linux's HAL is second to none. And porting can be done, just look at the Second Life.
You are absolutley correct. I believe Linus wasn't refering to PC manufacturers, but embeded and mission-critical applications such as ATMs or Voting Machienes. This section of the GPLv3 will not allow an open source voting/ATM system to emerge, and Diebold and such will continue to run Windows on said ATMs and voting machienes/
This is a luxury that the service provider has. It keeps people out of data that isn't theirs. Remember, it's by the person/company's good graces that they provide the services. A "GPL like service contract" would be pointless nad innefective.
Not necessarily. A company can make it so their web service is in fact free, but will only run using (say) Internet Explorer. Being a web service doesn't stop you from vendor-locking. So you give out a free web service, and make money from selling the only OS that it can be used with.
Your definition of web service is diffrent from mine. Web Services are Web-based APIs, most often using SOAP.
Web services, by their very nature, are open. We don't need a GPL for web services, that's quite redundant. What we need are unified standards for content transfer and the movement of data cross-services. APIs can be a double edged sword if you're a company (Flickr for example)
You're pointing at a problem that to Sun wasn't a problem. They *WEREN'T* aming for GPL compatibility. The CDDL seems to be working just fine for them, but the GPL zealots^Wfanboys want to critisize even a best effort by a traditional software company to make things open.
Jon stepping in is a statistical improbability. So far, we've seen no work on decrypting ITMS v6 files. Any cracking he does might also be hindered by his current residence in the US. So, we need another european reverse engineer whiz-kid to save us now...
You would be supprised. A friend, for a research project studying some effect with molten metals, wired up an optical mouse CCD so he could get super-fast videos of the effect in action.
They weren't good "quality", but they got him his data.
Search engine collects data used for marketing. Story at 11. Seriously, do you really think that anyone actually belives the "Do No Evil" hype? People are people. Google is no diffrent. They're interested in profit. If they do good things allong the way, more power to them. The diffrence is that they haven't yet screwed anyone else out of money (IMHO, Martha doesn't belong in that group either)
But what's not to say that te fact that we CAN keep people alive in a vegitative state DID influence this? Not all evolution is based arround total primal survival.
See! See! I told ya! Open Source promotes violence and, especially, terrorism! *ducks*

DVD Jon has a program called Sharp(#) Musique that allows you to buy from the iTMS in Linux, and without DRM too. Unfortionatly, if you've used iTunes v6 it does not work for purchasing. However, there is a 3rd party patch floating arround that fixes this. #Musique is availible from http://nanocrew.net/

I've heard that this is extremely prim-hoggy, creating up to 36 prims for a single mesh, since SL doesn't support meshes.

Nope, San Fransico. See http://nanocrew.net/2006/06/07/moved-to-san-franci sco/
"Does DVD Jon have some friends and a bit of spare bandwidth?"
A bit offtopic, but DVD Jon is now living in America.

Hmm, perhaps it's because JunOS is based on BSD?

I have to say that Campfire is really cool. Although it is hosted, and not exactly IM, it's easier to set up and more productive than Jabber or IRC.
Dear Mr. Jobs,
I believe your letter should be addressed to SanDisk, not us.
