How many resources are wasted with completly useless things in the current "fun society" ? Nearly everything is useless (bungee jumping, talk shows, sex;-).... ) from a strictly logicaly view.

There are a lot of fixes especially for the needs of corel in it. Some of these fixes have be be cleaned or implemented in a cleaner wey before going into the wine-cvs tree back since some of these are workarounds for special cases needed by corel applications. This does not mean these fixes are not important since they show the places where some more work is needed. Most of these stuff is not cruical for other applications. juergen (wine-developer)
No need to discuss this topic again. There were some rather long discussions on the wine mailing list with the result to not use GPL. You cant surely not accuse corel abusing wine. Their patches are still comming in. I dont care if they have a internal tree. Even if they only publish a part of their changes they did quite some work for the public release. juergen (wine developer)
Slashdot Mirror
The attraction between earth and mars is then
6.67*10^-11*6*10^24*6.4*10^23/(54*10^9)^2 = 8,7*10^16 Newton
(metric units)
it seems a large number but if you see the mass of the earth 6*10^24 it means every kg recives a force of 1,5*10^-8 Newton.
My weight is about 80 kg it means the mars attracts me with 1,2*10^-6 N what is about 0,12 mg.
Just to get some idea of relations...
