I'm pretty sure both NeXTstep and Mac OS X use GCC, so definitely not proprietary dev tools. Both of them are patched though, Objective-C has been in mainline gcc for a long time, but they had patches to support Objective-C++ (C++ & Objective-C in same file) which weren't merged until quite recently. And Objective-C can't be called a "proprietary" language, it wasn't invented by either NeXT or Apple.
First, it's made by the same people. So then they're ripping off themselves.
Second, lots of stuff in unix aren't files. look at tcpip for example. And plan 9 can have per-process mount tables, so you can make much more use of the files.
Okay all you folks who said, "I'd pay for music rather than steal it" if they would just remove the DRM now's the time to go visit puretracks. In the future I want to see every post complaining about Apple DRM or MS DRM state an oath at the bottom that they have actually bought music from puretrack. Otherwise you will be condsidered a hypocrit and ignored.
I've always said that and have bought some DRM-free albums on klicktrack.com since I found them.
It's a pretty limited catalogue, but some good electronic music and all DRM-free
note that MSIs are nothing new, office was using that system (with a stub exe to make sure the microsoft installer was installed first) from office 2000 onwards and i think win2k shipped with it as standard.
And at that point AmigaOS had already had the feature for > 10 years.
The most interesting part is of course that they've seem to have switched back the division colours to those of the TOS era. That is gold for command and red for operations./Erik
While all of what you say is true and of course a factor. The US is still far behind for example Sweden that only has ~20 people per square km. So other factors obviously play a big role as well.
But all four of the center-right parties now in power have promised to give the police more resources to deal with copyright infingements. So this might not be such a victory for the pirates.
I bet there's more than 500 Commodore 64's still running @ 1.02MHz
And a lot of even older stuff. But then again there's probably newer stuff with slow processors like coffe machines and what not. (although a modern coffe machine can even have a 66mhz processor and telnet capability...)
The Supreme Court in Sweden has, in a judgement of June 15, 2000, in criminal case against Tommy Olsson, stated that publication of links to already existing music files must be regarded as an act of performance or contribution to such act.
This similar earlier case in Sweden clear the charges of a teenager who had links to other pages where you could download mp3s. It's pretty much the same situation with TPB, so basically they're not doing anything criminal.
don't they #include kernel headers that are under GPL? in other words, include GPL code. At least to build the open source part of the driver which is linked with the closed source part.
Yeah, I know it didn't state that edlin *requires* 640k ram and that your post was ironical. I just wanted to point out that 640k is quite a lot of ram and you could probably run vim pretty well in it, with spell-checking and all.

No it doesn't, but it used to. Microsoft keep improving it you know :)

And as an example here's a vinyl that actually contains digital content (a C=64 program):
http://musicbrainz.org/release/be404755-21ee-46aa- a945-49cc23662b53.html
well, except it didn't contain any illegal content. just a bunch of .torrent files.

For the rest I visit Pirate Bay

First open Baidupedia ( a Chinese wikipedia clone): http://baike.baidu.com/
Then try to search on some censored word like: (falun gong)
You should now get a "Connection reset by peer" message
Now you won't be able to access any page on that server for at least 30 minutes.right. Or to cite Mao Zedong:
"Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun"
basically the same thinking.
But all four of the center-right parties now in power have promised to give the police more resources to deal with copyright infingements. So this might not be such a victory for the pirates.

I for one don't meet the hardware DRM requirements to buy those movies. But hopefully the non-DRM'ed versions will be out soon :)

perhaps I'll need to use something else than pirate bay. we'll see.

I'll counter with this case.

There's another country in the middle east that has that kind of discriminatory laws though
The inverse test (opening both DOC and ODT in Word) is not possible for obvious reasons!
There is a ODF plugin for Word according to this Slashdot article. Don't know where to find it though

so using tabs lets everyone choose their own preference for indentation while using spaces is just stupid.
