The BSD license is more concerned with "your" freedom while the GPL is more concerned with "mine". The GPL guarantees that everyone involved with a particular piece of GPL'd code will all have the same rights as the first user/distributor did. No one can take rights present for that particular code away.
The BSD license makes no such promise, I can take some or all of your project, redistribute without source, and keep all modifications. Now the user of this derivative project doesn't have the same rights as the distributor of said project did. This situation is not possible with the GPL.
Use whatever license you want, neither is _more_ free as they both remove rights (the GPL from the distributor and the BSD from the user).
Except that Apple doesn't seem to believe in people holding media on a network mountable device and not local so any time I start iTunes it hangs the process for days doing the Gapless analysis on my mp3 library. iTunes is garbage for anything but the most simple configuration.
It is likely an order of magnitude or 2 less than the value of the business earned by this bribe. So what IBM has learned here is that SEC fines are simply another cost of doing business with PRC and South Korea.
Revolutions are only successful when the people fighting for them have little to nothing to lose. We know this in America, it is why the majority of people can survive even if in uncomfortable situations. As long as a majority are fed, housed, and clothed reasonably well you will not see revolution.
So he listened to Muhammad Yunnis speak (or maybe read one of his books) and thought to himself, what a great idea. Then he figured that he would claim this idea as his own, sounds like business as usual.
It could be that the US tends to ignore what the UN says anyways. Not like they were right about Iraq or anything. And not like the US actively sanctions another nation ignoring numerous resolutions to return land acquired by force. The UN is useless because the US has shown that if you are powerful enough, you can ignore the rules.
I own Oblivion and SI, and I enjoyed them. You, however, have obviously never played the Fallout series, in comparison Oblivion is terribly linear. Sure you can name a handful of quests that have 2 or 3 ways to complete them but they are: 1. not connected to the main story or 2, the choices you make have no impact on the world outside of the individual quest.
The main story line had exactly one path through it which is not a short coming that Fallout or several other great RPGs suffer.
And hundreds of quests does not make the game non-linear, just potentially long.
Though I cringe every time someone uses the word Oblivion to describe the new Fallout. Sandbox or not, if the quests in Fallout are as terribly linear as Oblivion they will have failed the Fallout fans.
This seems to be a common misconception here on/. IBM has promised that they will not exert their patent portfolio against an open source project. They never (afaik) said anything about hitting back if someone tries to sue an open source project for patent infringement. If this isn't the case, please link the appropriate statement from IBM.
When there is exactly one way through the story, one way to complete any given quest, and one way to finish the game. Outside of the story line the environment was fairly open, but the main story as well as all of the side quest stories were completely linear. Try playing Fallout 1 and 2 if you want to see something much more open.
Not that I didn't like Oblivion, just that it wasn't so much an RPG with such a linear story. Fallout was great because there were so many different ways to complete the game, or even many of the quests. Oblivion was more FPS than RPG because the decisions you make have little to no impact on the outcome of the game. So please Bethesda, don't ruin such a great game franchise!
IBM is actually not a Linux distributor, only a contributor. IBM has also stated that they will not threaten any open source project with their patent portfolio but they have not mentioned using the same to protect OSS from anyone else.
That is what one gets when you push to the newest MS OS. However the 8800GT cards run great under linux (with the non-free drivers) and under XP and the games I play haven't looked better. The drivers for XP and linux are, in my experience, very stable.
The second part to this is any time you do add a 3rd party repo to your sources.list dependencies are still tracked. I have never been forced to spend hours looking for debs the way I have for RPMs.
I can't seem to find this story confirmed anywhere, and I certainly wouldn't trust the Guardian to be accurate. Does anyone out there have a confirmation?

We're all gonna have so much f*cking fun we'll need plastic surgery to remove our Goddamn smiles!
why should anyone believe them? Because it is profitable to do so or they never question anything that this administration says.

Expect that the only CMPC models currently available use flash only. No harddisks until next year.

Because Microsoft has been so good at catching only pirated software with WGA before...
Then who would post here???

You obviously don't write code...

Holocaust denial is not nor has it ever been part of Islam. To claim otherwise is FUD and needs to be recognized as such.

Actually due to post-lag or however they bill it, those posts were not present when I started my reply...
If you'd been following this you would know that Nintendo is the only one of the three to make money on their new console.
