You need the printed manaul when: 1.Your computer is dead 2.You dont feel like switching between the two programs (help and the one you need help with) 3.You want to read the manual to find all the hidden features. Reading on a computer screen is a strain on the eyes and is generally done sitting up, which is not a preferreed way to read. (at least for me)
You want a computer manual when: 1.It is highly interactive with the program you need help with (i.e. shows you how to do something by example) 2.You want to search for a term. (no book's index is perfect) 3.You know you'll lose the hardcopy in your endless pile of manuals.
I believe that LGPL is not less than GPL, so you could change it with the permission of the author. Depending on what kind of new program you were using it in, I certainly, and probably other people, would let you use the code without GPLing your entire source code.
What is this with increasing episode length? Since the first episode the length is now about 2.5 times as long. Pretty soon they'll just have to carry microphones around with them all day and broadcast continuously their daily activities. Not that I would mind more Geeks in Space. does anyone know how many people actually listen to Geeks in Space ALL the way through?
