We've done compiler tests between VC express 2010 and GCC (Mingw gcc 4.6.x branch) at work with GCC beating VC express at '-O3 -ffast-math -march=corei7' vs '/O2 /arch:SSE2' for our code on Intel Core i7 nehalem. GCC even beat ICC on certai

This has already been discussed at length, the reason Apple's Appstore terms is incompatible with GPL is because the 'App Store' restricts the number of copies you can make of the downloaded binary while GPL explicitly allows you to make as

Well, unless there's been changes made to the LGPL'd code then the App using it could simply point to VLC's webpage for the source code. LGPL only requires changes made to the actual LGPL licenced code be made open source, unlike GPL which

There's no way for any torrent client to hide itself since all this site needs to do is to have a program join the swarm of all torrents it can find and log all the ip's of the peers in that swarm, it doesn't matter what torrent client you

This is something which has been brought up here in Sweden by people with legal background: First the prosecutor at call (Marianne Ny) decided to arrest Julian Assange on the accusations from the two women. Meanwhile the news of his arrest

-"whereas the Swedes give a shit about peoples rights..." You must be thinking about the days when we had guys like Olof Palme (who incidentally got shot). Nowadays we are being run by a right-wing coalition dominated by 'Moderaterna', whic

I can tell you with absolute conviction that the vast majority of the 'swedes' (being as I'm one of them) do not believe there is enough evidence for a prosecution. This is unprecedented, the original dismissal of these allegations by the c

Yes this is obviously politically motivated. Not only are the allegations insanely hard to believe, night after the 'alledged rape' the 'victim' went to a party with Assange and was seen enjoying herself in his company. Then later she and h

No, it did not come 'for free'. It's included in the 'asking price' of Apple II. The money it cost Apple to bundle basic with the system was spent in order to make it more attractive and that cost is in turn part of the final price the cust

I seriously doubt that, it seems ad hominem attacks are used because his detractors in general don't feel they have enough to argument with and/or that their arguments hold little weight. He, being an 'odd bird' from a social aspect makes h

If GPL ceases to be used (which seems extremely unlikely since it's the most popular software licence) then perhaps you could state that his ideas are obsolete and irrelevant. I do not share Stallman's view regarding proprietary software (a

Steal is inacurrate, however Jobs tried to combine GCC's backend with Next's proprietary ObjC frontend. He wasn't legally able to do so (he tried to sneak past GPL by distributing them as separate packages and claim that the end-user would

No, although alot of kernel developers disliked the proprietary nature of Bitkeeper, the decision of making Git came when BitMover revoked the Linux developers right to use Bitkeeper for free. Good thing though, as Git turned out to be grea

Last time I checked Apple still shipped OSX with GCC 4.2 as the default compiler. And no, Apple did NOT help create LLVM, it was already 5 years into it's development when Apple came aboard. As for Apple's EULA and it's GPL conflict, the EU
