It's absolutely fucking insane that a business based on calling someone for a ride makes those with political power shit themselves with attempts to shut it down. Absolutely insane.
My understanding was that compliance in this case requires that they offer up the source code for whatever they use. If they then make changes, there is no requirement to post their changes as well.
Your self proclaimed understanding was incredulously incorrect and shows that you did not actually have an understanding of the GPL. Playing to some niceties of politeness when you yourself are bullshitting is less than honest, sir. You asserted understanding that was false. No need to get upset when someone attempts to correct your assertion.
Have a nice day.
it only abridges if there is a punishment or consequence for doing so
Are you intentionally muddying the waters here? The direct and quantifiable consequences include the restrictions and limits imposed on all other citizens as the result of issuing overly broad or non-eligible patents.
It's not as if you're going to be taken out and shot
Between you and Guy Harris I just read a complete crock of what simply has to be self serving bullshit. You must have a dollar to make in this field of discussion.
People had to use it for it to count.
You completely fucked it up.
Windows 95: Shit
Windows 95b: Good
Windows 98: Shit
Windows 98 SE: Good.
Windows ME: Shit
Windows 2k: Good
Windows XP: Shit
Windows XP SP2: Good
Windows Vista: Shit
Windows 7: Good
Windows 8: Shit
Windows 8.1: Good
Windows 10: TBD, but it doesn't look good based on the pattern.
As for your separate NT list, it's also nonsensical, as of XP, consumer OS = NT, so there is no need for a separate list. 2k3 has no business on the list, since server wise there is not a general pattern that is at all similar to the end user OS versions. Newer is generally always the better server version after initial kinks and patches, because the reliability of the security is of utmost importance.

By contracting out, you get people who hire workers willing to do work for the least amount of pay, unlike union workers who get better pay and tend to have formalized processes that do the work right the first time, even if it seems over done.
You don't know how business works if you think contracting out has anything to do with 'good' work.
I live in a city that contracts out everything but the most emergency of repairs for sewer work, the private contractors take longer and leave the areas they work in fucked up every-single-time. We have a mile of road that was ripped up and repiped by contractors, after it was done the road was littered with dips and potholes and they are having to completely dig up and repave the entire road now as a result. Contracting is about making money off government and doing it as cheaply as possible.
You should post as yourself and not as anonymous if you want to be taken seriously. This is all bullshit.
We may have just discovered an un-capitalized niche market for porn.
Unix already lost to BSD on that one. Freedom rang that day.
Sounds like Warez sites from the late 90s.
Snapple started selling their 'greatest stuff on earth' in plastic bottles, now it tastes terrible. So yeah, Apple is Snapple.
Well, I will give the pos this much, the new intel chip uses 5 watts, so effectively this macbook is a phone in a laptop case.
Drink that koolaid.
The idea that Microsoft's ecosystem of applications isn't full of junkware suggests you being willfully ignorant of reality to make your argument sound better. Keyboard/mouse/monitor on Android is actually useful if you have ever done it for any amount of time beyond just playing with it.
Having a phone that runs all your necessary apps is what this is about, and Microsoft's boat has already sunk in that arena. It's play catchup for 10 years and hope they can, and in the mean time you can expect more disruptive tech to arrive on the scene that their monolithic org won't be able to adapt quickly enough for.
There could be a subconscious element that leads to a virtual character reminding you of someone you know in real life, family, parents, friends, coworkers, random person you see on the street regularly, that leads to a false positive for the researcher, which totally fucks the 'racism' angle of this 'study'.
A morsel of genuine history is a thing so rare as to be always valuable. -- Thomas Jefferson
