With it you get X-like term window with mouse inputs, cut&paste interface, etc. Fixes ssh, vim, emacs, and most all ncurses based programs.
I change the target of the desktop cygwin icon to run the above command instead of 'startup.bat'.
I've never needed more than gdb and vim for an IDE, so I can't answer that. XFree86-4.3.0 now ships with cygwin, if you elect to install it.
I'll give up my three precious moderation points... this is small guy vs. corporation.
I didn't get the feeling the writer had any intention to stick it to MS, he wanted to maek good on the agreement. I read it exactly as the judge did: It's the manufacturer's problem.
A little deeper than that, though, is the secret deals being made between manufactures' and Microsoft. This practice has been known for a long, long time, and it has been in and out of the courts for just as long. I remember first hearing the meme way back in '95. Back in the netscape vs. IE days.
But just like RIAA dragging thousands to small claims court ( no wonder Rosen wants out or the PR light ), civil cases do not a new company make.
I do wonder what Lessig thinks of this.

Whoa, As UNIX Sysadmin at said office now, I'm willing to make a few guesses as to your name. b)
There is _NO_ career track within this company, at least not within any one department. There are only two ways I've ever seen a promotion after five plus years here:
1. Pull a dogbert
2. Essential quit one division, and get hired elsewhere in the company.
I've heard SAIC described a few ways:
1. It's the world's most diversified privately run mutual fund.
2. Ex Gov't country club.
3. A pyramid scheme.
4. Saturdays Are InCluded
5. HUGE
I find that it's designed to be the BEST second career-job of any established professional. Also happens to be a great way to build XP to get your first one too.
As for conservative: I'm likely to get a phone call tomorrow for posting this.
I never noticed the noisy fans on the noisy pc's when I was in college.
Oh, yeah maybe I do. I just don't remember it ever being a problem falling asleep. Sleep just sorta happens on command after thirty hours of mudding and/or codeing and/or codeing muds and/or mudling coeds.
The fan should be the least of your beauty nap worries.
Uh, call me batty, but I can't find one scrap of haiku anywhere at Linuxhaiku.com. I see a blog, and a slashbox. I did find an empty topic catagory called haiku....
Single-function gadgets do have their market, but can you really not see what the benefits of truly universal machines in the hands If the masses are?
The point is that it will be argued this way to congress, by paid lobbiests:
No DRM: no movies on demand, no interactive television, more viruses, more risk to US information networks
With DRM: new businesses, new instant polling data ( huge for a politician ), video on demand, less SPAM... secure tracking of financial transactions for taxing
Do you think you could make the arguement that this is not what the masses want? Do you think it would be loud enough to pull the dollar signs from congress' eyes?
Or does that thought frighten you?
As a UNIX/Linux System Administrator, an X10 hobbiest, and a rabid TV timeshifter: It terrifies me that I can imagine a hundred ways they will pass this as law, and not one way we can stop it. I think you have just prompted me to donate to the EFF. I wish Lessig had a donation pool.
Because the same question is phased as: "Would you like to be able to rent and watch movies over the internet?"
Answer: Yes. I would too.
You have to pair this TCPA and DRM thing with the fact that the box in question will likely resemble a TiVo. The days of the PC are numbered, and there are less then 500 of them to go.
Once this is mainstream, you'll kiss goodbye the day of $40 motherboards. More like $400, if not more, for these archaic component breadboards.
The TV makers will likely take over the motherboard market, and the chassis market will go the way of the dodo.
Except it. Linux will live on in embedded devices and universities, until maybe it is made available again via a signed VMWARE-like application. Or whole distributions might one day be a web application, which is already in the works.
..and when the power goes out, and both machines come up at the same time?
There are so many details, too many devils. If you make one a prefered master, then have it STOMITH ( shoot the other machine in the head ) then it at least stops the race. STOMITH is usually a hardware device, killing the net connection or the power.
I'm still trying to get it to work. The idea is to have two mail/dns/dhcp servers, one a failover for the other. The problem is indeed in the details. The filesystem cache gets in the way every time. You can't check the mtime of, say,/data/.watchdog. I've tried mount flags, I've tried tune2fs tricks, nothing seems to work.
I still hack on the setup from time to time. Maybe I should _NOT_ use EXT3, but then journaling the metadata is EXACTLY what I want, so that in a catastrophy all I need to do is clear out the journal log before remounting rw. Maybe I should just adopt the tried and true serial line heartbeat monitors.... Even with that, the fun starts when the other machine decides to come back online, and steals both the drive and the IP back.
Slashdot is spooky sometimes, I was thinking of working on the problem today, and then saw this thread. b)
I'm re-reading Neil Stephenson's work. In his piece, the nano-mites were around 130 nm, and used rod-logic for computations.
This seems far more likely, because it's under the 'little-yellow-different-better' variety, all the major players will still be in place as it is today.
I SHUDDERED when I followed this line of thought and realized we are more likely to see an MS NanOS within the timeframe of Diamond Age, than the anarchistic/utopia. I can't say I can claim which is better.

WS FTP Light a FREE, FTP client that works great.
use ncftp from cygwin
PuTTY a free SSH client for Windows.
use openssh from cygwin
GNU-EMacs for Windows. I usually install it, but use Vi more.
use emacs AND vim from cygwin
Dev-C++ a free C++ compiler. I use VC++ 6.0, but this is free, and I think it's pretty good.
*cough* cygwin
2 hours a day reading posts....
Why does that sound so familiar?
Oh so deliciously to the EFF

I just flashed my ASUS MB from a FreeDOS diskette last night. Funky screen redraws, but who cares?

Whoa, sounds like a whole paperclip difference in weight too. I think the old ones spin better, too.
Maybe you missed the part that read something like: ..will be a seperate chip soldered to the motherboard until it is migrated to the CPU itself...
+1 The above question MUST be asked.
Also, will it prevent the flashing of the BIOS proper?
Because the same question is phased as:
"Would you like to be able to rent and watch movies over the internet?"
Answer: Yes. I would too.

It will soldered to the board, how can you ask for a refund after destoying the product be removing it?
I actually like it better than the standard H-Box behemoth. Seems they like their controllers and keyboards to be big and bloated too.
