Like, you can... ummm... support more than 2gb without swapping?
hrmmn...
like... you can support signed ints greater than 2.1 billion without some trickery?
ummmmm... that's about it.
64-bit != faster (necessarily). In fact, it could concievably be slower because of all the extra data that you are passing back and forth...
Step away from the pulpit... Whether the 970 ends up being faster in practice is yet to be seen. Whether OSX can take advantage of horsepower is a different question. We're talking about too many unknowns just yet.
For example, I hate spaces used for tabs in programming, mostly because I prefer 4 spaces for myself while many others prefer 2. If I'm looking at code, I do *not* want to see half of one and half of the other even if I prefer one to the other.
Most things that I dislike are tolerable if consistant. Inconsistancy is the great sin.
Correct, in a way. It must be licensable to all third parties. That means that if you give it to someone else, they have to be able to redistribute. It does not mean that if you give it to someone else, you must automatically be willing to distribute to one and all.
From the GPL FAQ:
The GPL says that modified versions, if released, must be "licensed... to all third parties." Who are these third parties?
Section 2 says that modified versions you distribute must be licensed to all third parties under the GPL. "All third parties" means absolutely everyone--but this does not require you to *do* anything physically for them. It only means they have a license from you, under the GPL, for your version.
All the arable land (and I'd say all the significant non-arable land as well) has been claimed and hermits are usually not welcome.
After all, they don't pay property tax.
You might be able to get away with it in a few places (including Montana, with no property tax) but you have to buy the land first, which is its own issue, and you are still technically accountable to the laws of the land.
Your real only chance is to discover an island, and I think even all of those are claimed. Perhaps if you live on the ocean itself, you've got a chance. You've got food, and you shouldn't have too much of a problem finding friendly ports.
If you make it clear that it is not an exclusive license, and that you are not assigning copyright to them, then of course it's irrelevant.
If you either transfer copyright, or you give an exclusive license, you're done for. You have to implement this independant of your other code. This may mean an entirely different algorithm.
Plans aren't always set in stone, and if they own the boxes they have a lot of opportunity to be flexible. Furthermore, most of them are making it prohibitive to add space because they know that many people who will want it will be looking for warez/mp3 server...
However, you need a colocation service. If you're going to be doing that kind of computation, a shared server just isn't going to work for you.
Let's require everyone to spend a week learning fundamentals of Unix and 500 bucks and another week putting together OpenBSD-compliant parts (not to mention the day or two researching what exactly will and will not work on BSD) just to give up because they can't figure out why the fuck EverQuest won't work! (Adknowledged, the real problem is that most consumer programs were developed with a direct connection and a modem in mind. Guess what? That's irrelevant.)
Yeah, sounds REAL swell.
Yes, Those Netgear and LinkSys boxes are really routers. They really work. Until you can tell me how to get a wireless solution up and running with BSD for an hour's work and under 150 dollars, your argument is irrelevant.
From what I remember from my Verbal Communication class, the argument was that we could not call chimp ASL a true language because they lacked a true sense of grammar.
Speech is a misnomer. They are able to communicate via hand signs (ASL, for instance) if trained.
They are able to lie and insult others.
They seem to get to 3 years old intelligence and stop there.
http://www.cwu.edu/~cwuchci/quanda.html: Washoe, the most accomplished signer, has a vocabulary of 240 "reliable" signs...The chimps use the signs both singly and in combination with other signs in multiple-sign utterances. So far, one of the longest utterances observed has been a sentence of seven different signs...They have demonstrated an ability to invent new signs or combine signs to metaphorically express something different, for example: calling a radish CRY HURT FOOD or referring to a watermelon as a DRINK FRUIT. In a double-blind condition, the chimpanzees can comprehend and produce novel prepositional phrases, understand vocal English words, translate words into their ASL glosses and even transmit their signing skills to the next generation without human intervention.
Ignore any threat of the local attack, the remote attack is the important one.
Watch out with that line of thinking... The ideal system has reasonable internal security as well. If a disgruntled employee can get access to these public/private key pairs, you're worse off than before, because you still maintain the illusion of security.
He uses that truck for work purposes? Perhaps he has to carry cargo?
back to topic... what happens when you have to bring home something that's 500 pounds? How do you get it delivered? How about something as common as a bed?
Something tells me you've never worked for a small company before.
The cost of such an action may be more than the company makes all year, if the company is a microbusiness.
Fast, cheap, good. Pick any two. I'd suggest hiring a CS college student now and have him be the intermediatry between the old worker and the new. Keep him on as an intern, and have him in charge of documenting everything.
Because you'd have to give the key out as well. (It's part of the source code, after all... You need it to compile the binary you give out.) Not only this, but anyone who receives it could go in turn redistribute his copy.
Why not try to get the authors to license it to you by a modified GPL? All you would have to add is an exception for redistributing the private key.
The better option sounds like getting others to front the 500 and get the authors to license it to you under a modified gpl for this case that allows binary redistribution with the sources for the unlocked code, and free binary redistribution under the same circumstances.

Read the FAQ.
It's no more confusing. The government has all the rights in the world to redistribute, but they are never under any obligation.
No, there's a big difference.

Face it, we don't have the choice.
It depends on the way you license said code.
If you make it clear that it is not an exclusive license, and that you are not assigning copyright to them, then of course it's irrelevant.
If you either transfer copyright, or you give an exclusive license, you're done for. You have to implement this independant of your other code. This may mean an entirely different algorithm.

My god! I do have a SCO license after all!
If all else fails, I can boot up my old tandy 6000 and run my old copy of Microsoft XENIX on a 10MB hard drive.
I was worried there for a second.
How good is this going to sound? Will the CD burn be CD quality?

Like me. :)
I came in with a CS minor. However, I had better reccomendations and better interview skills.
I've made more presentations.
I just don't have the same upward mobility that the CS majors have.
Oh wait, I have an idea!

NetBSD runs on everything and is tight, as some of these things are rather resource-strapped.
OpenBSD is secure, doesn't turn on what isn't needed, etc. Thus, it makes a lot of sense for a server.
FreeBSD tries to get a good portion of code running, and is generally the most desktop-friendly, though it is acceptable to servers.

It's only a matter of time before the code bases start deviating more and more.
