Replying to @NeelieKroesEU
Thank you, but this only moves the question to: why are they the only ones under such binding agreement?
Replying to @NeelieKroesEU
I am no Microsoft groupie, but the way they are being handled is extremely unfair compared to Apple for instance.
Mercurial is the Windows 95 of DVCS. If you set up a cron job to reboot the server every few hours, you might be roughly fine.

I don't think I know it actually. How often do we reboot Apache on dvcs?

Small detail that I can't seem to verify: prokaryotes don't develop cancer, right?
Replying to @SouryaZinnoury and @Zhuresh
Right, obviously, thanks! I'm guessing that unchecked growth is just normal there.
Replying to @philarcher1
well it turns out there's a terminology problem: it can't really be cancer if the organism isn't multicellular.
Replying to @philarcher1
Also, unchecked division is pretty much the norm, at least in non-social prokaryotes. So comparisons are hard.
Replying to @philarcher1
The initial thought was wondering if what is now cancerous wasn't ancestrally normal, tamed later. I don't have an answer :-)
Replying to @philarcher1
Mostly because I haven't figured out the proper question.

Replying to @philarcher1
I can think of three cases in which it can be wrong (i.e. produce negative fitness) for a P to multiply (too much).
Replying to @philarcher1
1) Multicellular P (inc. symbionts), 2) Cooperative P group, 3) high population viscosity. But they're all social.
Replying to @philarcher1
So it would seem that cancer is a social illness (for cell societies) rather than properly cellular one.

This is shopping for which preview quality is paramount. Unique items, created by users. They're not looking at 3D just for fun.
Replying to @adrianba
It's not the only answer I'd accept. "We have this proprietary thing you can shim to" works as well. Pragmatism and all :)
