Nasty, nasty license. GPL used to cause lawyers to run around with the flamethrowers, then they learned all the nuances and all was well. AGPL? Now they run around with flamethrowers and nukes. As they should...

The entire source tree for a git repository is in git clone, with the magic sauce of "--mirror" to get the full repository. This is an advantage for open source distributed teams, but not a great methodology for closed source development like this was.

Deeply amusing.

Quite simply, the main feature Microsoft has been touting to advertisers is the ability to detect who is in the room and target ads accordingly. The gold mine is not in Kinect for games, its for the TV/Video/Music/Netflix/Hulu consumption and the "big data" of being to tell that there is a 30-35 white male (recognized and tracked via Bing), 30-35 white female (Not logged in but we know her profile), and another 25-30 female guest that we have an 90% confidence is person Y who has a bing account. Lets target Ad X, Y and not Z.

MS will put Nielsen to shame with all that mineable data. There will be still be people who leave the MS eye on all the time, at least now you have the option to unplug it.

Why is this not LGPL? (Keep the "viral" self contained to the library), or GPL (Application level viral-ability). AGPL? That "infects" everything (Airborne meta-viral!)

Either the developers/lawyers at Oracle don't understand their own product ... or worse that they are nefariously trying to end of life BDB.

Uh, what the hell?

No, the wp-admin folder is rather hard coded.

Saw this on facebook the other day, seems very relevant:

You do realize that the SRB bands were completely redesigned following Challenger? Not just add a third O ring and be done?

A retainer band around the pins, longer pins, changing the mating feature (Clevis and Tang) from a U to more an S to further prevent gases from escaping. And joint heaters for cold weather.

Create a federal patent court circuit with knowledgeable judges, and be specific to exclude the eastern district of Texas for systematic bias.

Further, the US Constitution doesn't grant the federal government immigration authority. It is an "Implied Power" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implied_powers

Substitute Michael Dell for Sam Zell, and Dell Company for Tribune Company. Here lies the future...

Never trust guys with names that end in 'ell'

I cited this comment in a letter to my constituent senators. Makes much better sense than what Hatch is spewing.

Thanks for yet another business example of why you don't put all your eggs in one basket. I.e. Zynga -> Facebook relationship, or sort of similar situation in Chicago with Areawide Cellular and Cingular. At least the family that ran Areawide Cellular also ran nursing homes. http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2003-04-28/business/0304270544_1_wireless-carriers-cingular-wireless-at-t-wireless

I am sure you also tried to sell Dish/Direct for that same commission hit as a diversification measure. Problem is the carriers and satellite have no intrest in developing agent businesses as a franchisee/ franchiser would.

Just being in the "agent" business is at most a decade business run.

I also add the tests were run on cloud servers, which is a time share environment.

Also, I would have used TC server instead of tomcat. Or another java enterprise JSP container.

No, Advertised price at 9.96 would round down to 9.95. Then the price should increase to 10.05 or so, then jump to 10.95.
