This claim also came up in the KDevelop threads, but why does a graphical IDE imply rapid GUI development? A text based tool could generate templates just as well. I do plenty of Java GUI development with Emacs and jdk, enough of an IDE for me.
Actually, Loki will be releasing the binaries! Due to distribution problems id is having Loki do the release. I believe it will be in stores shortly after the first of the year. It was in a/. story yesterday i think.
I think that when computers are at the point to do `literate decompiling' they will be at the point that we will no longer need to write software ourselves - we will just tell the computers to do it.
Errr... I don't think the sampling theorem applies in this case. The sampling theorem applies to sampling an analogue signal at discrete times. You have to sample at twice the highest component frequency to avoid aliasing (high freqs looking like low freqs).
I think what would apply is Shannon's theorem, which relates the information carrying capacity of a channel to its bandwidth and the amount of noise.
1. Game publishers would not lower the cost of the retail software.
2. Games are already buggy enough, do we really need to give them less motivation to create a decent product? It seems that buggy product doesn't have much impact on sales.
Perhaps this should be entered in bugzilla or whatever the bug reporting system for Mozilla is. Although it is extremely unlikely that it would be included with Mozilla (barring US policy changes on crypto export), it would be feasible to implement a general mail plugin filter, that would not have crypto specific hooks, but which would allow such a beast.
Then the main stumbling block would be establishment of a central database of keys that would be publicly accessible. Of course one would have to deal with all those tricky authentification issues.
Definitely a worthy project, perhaps some folks in countries with enlightened crypto laws could work on it.
I agree with you that a more immediate concern to me is spying done by employers. I know people who have browsed job sites during their lunch hour only to get called into their bosses office to explain why they were doing so. I suppose it is naive to expect any privacy when you are at work, but I find it extremely unsettling.
I would have to say all of your examples would have to fall under the GPL. The code would have to be stored on a storage medium and thus would in essence be no different than distributing binaries on a CD-ROM. I don't think that one could say that an EPROM is somehow of a different nature than a CD.
The only example that I would think of that gets around this is letting others call your code via the web or some such thing. So just separate your application into client and server and you don't have to give out the code.
There is no need to include the source with every CD, as long as the source is available for a nominal fee or via FTP. With a lot of the Linux distro's you do not get the source (except for the kernel which is a must) but you can get the source from their FTP servers or from an expanded set of CDs.
I don't think/. has been the same since Meept stopped privalaging us with his wisdom. His demise (i don't remember if it was before moderation or after) seemed to coincide with a wider audience visiting/. and in my opinion, a lower quality of posts. At least more homogenous, less creative posts.
Your original post was moderated as "Insightful." I wouldn't listen to the opinion of someone who is too dim to tell the difference between a 2 and a 3.
Will KDE 2 support right click desktop menu (with access to any program)? I find this to be the most useful feature of the WM I use, blackbox. All the apps and utils I use plus several SSH sessions are merely two clicks away no matter where my mouse is at the time. Quite a time saver. Plus any start-menu type thing takes up way too much screen real estate on my dinky monitor.
Even with CSS in place pirates can do bit-for-bit copies of the DVD. The only thing that is affected by breaking CSS is that pirates will be able to remove the region code so that they can get American movies early in HK and other places.
I suggest you go to Fry's or Compusa or whatever and try out all the speakers they have on display. They should have a setup that allows you to sample them. Try listening at a range of volumes and bass/treble settings. I was surprised to find several cheaper speakers sounding better (to me at least) than more expensive big name ones. I ended up going with some cheap (~$50) Labtecs that I think have richer sound over a better range than the Campbridge Soundworks & Bose models I looked at.

No offense intended, but do you really want 6 IDE devices in your machine??? Save up your lunch money and go for SCSI.
And maybe it will be a woman

There was a Cold War?

If I write a program in binary machine code, do I have to release the source?

Those screenshots were taken on a IBM PC Jr with a Hercules video card and 512kB RAM.
So it should work fine for you.
Q3Test has been out for Linux just as long (did it come out first?). This newest release has been out for win32 about a week before this.
What's this 21600 crap?
Back in my day, we connected at 2400, and we liked it!
Oh yes, all those middle school memories coming back...
It was the no-clipping cheat - walk through walls and stuff.
Id Q3 the realization of SPISPOPD?

You can't have a supercomputer without...
DAS BLINKEN LIGHTS!!!
You're still wrong about this one.

Have you read "The Thin Red Line?" You sound like Welsh.

I am definitely no audiophile however, so YMMV.
