I disagree with you here on this. Why? Well simply because there is Linux Magazine, and Linux Journal. These two are the best sellers out there as far as I can see and they are chuck full of tons of info, both for newbiews and the highly knowledgeable.
Linux Magazine is the one which is more for newbies, as it goes into extreme details about simple things a linux system does. I get both of these magazines every month, and will continue to get them.
Well, I stopped reading it after the 2nd real issue came out. Why? Well because they decided to place a licencing on the cd-roms they distributed that was different, and conflicted with the GPL. They were distributin Storm Linux I believe.
The license stated that the cd-rom must be installed on one computer only and may not be copied etc, except for backup purposes only. If a magazine that is about linux should have at least 1 or 2 people on staff that actually KNOWS what linux is and especially what the GPL is!
Ok, now to the real post =) What does this mean for airplanes and boats? Aren't they supposed to know when this is going to happen so they can either a)change their route that day or b) delay their departures?
I would like to think that they would at least let the people who run these services know this info, because it would just suck to be traveling across the Pacific ocean and suddenly be hit by a 1,500 lbs chunk of a space station.
It's have to say that none of those would work. Reason being that they all use the words "Secure Shell" and "SSH", which was trademarked by the company, so you would be back at square one. I say let's call it OpenShell. Unless of course thats already taken
Well I think that his complaint can be a valid one. When most people in the *nix world are thinking about ssh, most of the people I've talked to think of OpenSSH. They, being the SSH Communications Security Corp., are losing business that they could have gotten from corporations if they were to use their, SSH Communications Security Corp., ssh program which implements the ssh2 protocol.
"I have started receiving a significant amount of e-mail where people are confusing OpenSSH as either my product or my company's product, or
are confusing or misrepresenting the meaning of the SSH and Secure Shell trademarks. I have also been informed of several recent press articles and outright advertisements that are further confusing the origin and meaning of the trademark."
As you can see here he's loosing business to a group who have implemented the ssh2 protocol, with a much better nicer and less restrictive license than theirs.
As others have said, if you don't protect your trademark then you loose the ability to enforce it. He's published the protocol under the name of ssh. Now that word just also happens to be the word that they patented. My question is if the word is now used to label something that is implemented in public domain and is avaiable from a standards comittee such as IETF, how the hell can you still use it in a trademark?
"we have offered certain licenses to use the SSH mark to refer to the protocol and to indicate that a product complies with the standard."
It seems to me that his company has allowed the use of the name and if I'm not mistaken, the OpenSSH group got their name from the protocol and not from the originating company. It was not explicitly stated that the name of the protocol couldn't be used in the name itself. If this is the case, then they should be allowed to keep their name as it stands.
Then why would he respond to himself with a complain under the name of Outlyer? If you read the posts you'll see that Outlyer has responded to synpax's comments.
I agree with your innocent till proven guilty, but he HAS been proven guilty, especially when the real person who wrote that comment confronted him.
Well Maya isn't an option if you want something open source. I know you can create you own scripts and distribute those, but that doesn't count in this situation.
If you're talking about 3D packages for Linux, then the first on the scene as far as big names goes is Houdini. Never heard of it? Well then I suggest you start doing research, because it's absolutely fantastic for compositing and volumetric effects.
Agreeed, if we achieve such interstellar travel capabilities, then what's the use of living on the earth anymore? By that time most of the people would be living in other planets, on space stations, or other galaxies. I think that in 6000 years we should have achieved the technology to migrate to other planets/solar systems
"If the 100 km asteroid was to collide with the Earth then it would wipe out all life on our planet. "This danger cannot be overemphasised," the researchers stress."
This is the very first thing I though about when I read the brief on/. In fact my co-worker brought this up as well. What are the chances that we would get this asteroid to go exactly where we want it to?
Think about it, one extremely miniscule miscalculation of an angle can have catastrophic effects. Knowing our current ability of screwing things up royaly, how are we gonna manage such a feat?
I guess the same rule applies here, the higher the risk the higher the payoffs. Well if they do pull this off it would be cool as hell....but by then I think that most if not all of us would be dead. Unless you get your head placed in a jar like they do in Futurama =)
I really want to go to college one day. And, I really want a job. Being poor isn't fun when you have a 4 and a half year old box (and other people are saying their "ancient" p2/500 is slow.
You should definitly go to college. It may be hard to stay in college but try to stick to it. Employers nowadays want you to have at least a college degree in CS, to do anything computer related, I know because in my search for jobs I was denied because I'm still in school and I don't have a CS degree. Plus there are tons of scholorships avialble to people in the CS dept.
Don't despair much about your comp, I didn't even get to see much less touch one till about 6 years ago, and that was when I was 14. Now I'm 20 and I own 6 of them, my hard work has paid off in the long run. Oh and next time anyone laughs at you, just smile because you're gonna be their boss one day =)
You know I was wondering the same exact thing. Hrmm, maybe there is some time shifting that occurs and then he is sucked into a portal into another dimention where there are infinitly beautiful women to pleasu....... oh wait nm that's my fantasy ^___^
"This series can be amazingly depressing, and the last two episodes need serious help..."
<spoiler> WARNING, don't read unless you don't want the series spoiled for you. </spoiler>
I have to disagree with you on the last two episodes. They were VERY well done, and IMHO is a very beautiful ending to the story. Well it's not neccisarily an ending per say, because of the situation. Everything from episode 1 is referenced in the last two episodes and if you watch it very carefully it will explain almost everything that takes place.
The main character along with everyone else goes into the project that was mentioned under the very first episode. However they only show the main character's story because it would be way to complicated to do everyone else. There is no real ending because you have to make that up yourself, but what is certain, "instrumentality" does take place and Ikari Shinji does complete it. What you do realize however that the story doesn't really end there, you needed to see the movies because that will pick up all the pieces of the puzzle and put them all together. Death and Rebirth is the first one, and End of Evangelion is the redone episodes's 25 and 26. There you will see that after going through the process he comes back to earth from Eva 1, because Rei is the body they use to enter the eva, and with the help of Karou it is made possible. He comes back to earth because of his love for Asuka.
The movie license has been acquired by Manga entertainment and should be out (hopefully) this year. Check their web site at http://www.manga.com. Also be sure to check out ADV's site for the DVD release at http://www.advfilms.com.
How would this affect them? I mean they OWN the MSN website, and since they own the text how would posting it to another one of their sites affect them? How would this be hypocritical. If you said post it to ZD net, or something like that it would be more feasable
Whoah!!!! Man hell must've just frozen over because I thought that's when this product would actually get finished! =)
Well guess this means that pigs must be flying
*blinks* *looks outside*
Holy crap! Pigs really are flying!!! Now I wonder, does this mean that I will finally get my wish? Will I indeed be the best quaker there is? welll hey it's nice to dream =P

Tech Stocks Tumble
·
· Score: 1
I have to disagree with you slightly. Although I love it when Bill loses some of his vast investments, one has to consider the implications for everyone else. What about those people, such as retirement funds investors, who lose millions of dollars when such a thing happens.
I don't know if you've been following up on the news, but MSFT isn't the only stock being affected here. There are some linux stocks being affected. And this isn't being brough on by MSFT's stock dropping, but the fact is the market is bringing down the overly high priced tech stocks. These have been inflated due to the IPO fever which occured during 1999.
Personally I feel that it's ok that the market has been going down, why? Well simply because you don't want to have such a highly inflated stock market for such a long time. It's not going to be good for the economy in the long run
I have to agree with your point. I really hope they don't break up Microsoft, because if they do, then what will motivate us? What will drive us to gain the marketshare and show that we can make a difference?
We need something that we can beat, so that it will get our creative juices flowing. Competition has always driven new advances in the technology field, and if we move the biggest competitor from the field, what will we do next?

A funny thing is that there is something in the govt called DFAST. Not sure what this implies but oh well.
Isn't it also contributing to the delinquency of a minor if they are under the age of 18? If so the teacher then the teacher is guilty.

well how can we compare them? I mean one's 32 bit and the other is a 64 bit processor. Just that one's clocked higher than the other one
