Kylix in Limbo

IgD writes "Kylix, Borland's Linux port of their popular Delphi compiler has been covered on Slashdot before. LinuxWorld is reporting that Kylix development is in limbo. Many speculate this is a politically correct way of saying the project has been abandoned. There hasn't been any updates to Kylix 3.0 in well over a year. One user who attended BorCon this year wrote in his blog that Borland didn't have any updates to Kylix planned for 2004. This is really disheartening news. Why didn't Kylix sell? Does this say something about the application or about the difficulties of marketing a commercial Linux application?"

Re:OT: vegetative state

Living wills are excellent supporting data; however, the family still makes the final decision in most cases.

For example, if this lady would could have had a living will that said: "Remove support if I am in a irreversible condition." The parents would argue that it's reversible and the husband would argue otherwise.

As an ICU doctor, I see people die everyday. I make sure they die with respect and painlessly.

The worse thing that can happen is that somebody lives out his/her life in ways against his/her will. People have the right to die on their terms.

Sad.
