Would that be possible to combine these USB keys to build a bigger (if not fast) SSD? Considering USB is serial, I am sure you could do somthing useful out of them.
The news does not mention that very importantly it is now provided under a third license, the LGPL. That will allow small companies to link the library in their proprietary products (for the best and the worse...) Certainly that should increase the use of Qt and probably decrease wxWindows usage at the same time.
From the FAQ: Because many people believe that in order to permanently delete data from a modern hard drive that multiple overwrites with random data, mechanical grinding, degaussing and incinerating must be used. They tell others this. Like chaos, it perpetuates itself until everyone believes it. Lots of good, usable hard drives are ruined in the process
Well, that might be right, private recovery companies may not be able to recover data in that case, but this does not mean this is not possible for government agencies.
The books were bought after Nina's disappearance, not before. Admitting he did it, that does not show premeditation, on the contrary.
Anyway, being convinced of murder on the basis you bought some books distresses me.
A single F-22 costs $138 billion FYI $138 Million, but still I agree with you that's a lot of money, and those $5 million are just a drop in the ocean compared to what the government could spend on research on renewable and alternate energy.
You are right, and maybe I was unclear with my argumentation. If copyright law were abolished, then the GPL would not be legally binding indeed. Therefore, the actual effects of the GPL (preventing an open source software to become closed-source) would be lost. Everything would be Public Domain, and making a software proprietary would be based on the non-distribution of the modified source code.
It would not be good to the GPL to resort on the abolishment of copyright laws, because in that case its intends would be also lost. Therefore the GPL is not a temporary system in my opinion, as it is very often argued.
I know this argument is every frequently used, but even in a world where copyright would not exist, the GPL still brings another feature: it prevents a free software to revert to a proprietary one. If copyright law were completely abolished, it would still be permitted to take any source code, modify it and distribute it without disclosing the modifications. The GPL on the other hand says: ok, you can use my source, but if you redistribute to the public, you cannot close the source and you have to release your modifications. So for me the GPL is not a temporary system until copyright were abolished.

You can add Freeciv to that list.

Well, you forgot to paste the next paragraph:
To help faciliate the continued development of Qt Jambi, Qt Software will host and help maintain a community-driven Qt Jambi implementation.
So it is not completely ditched, it relies on the community to maintain it.

He's a troll because he wrote a first post sensible and intelligent!
Maybe because a pardon could be seen as admitting something illegal happened.
Isn't that the same with an amnisty?
At the same moment, Sarah Palin wants to stop all research on Drosophila : http://thinkprogress.org/2008/10/24/palin-fruit-flies/
With people like this, no need for science degrees anymore. After all, everything we need to know is written in their bible.
It will become visible as soon as Bob wants legitimately to copy the same song in his car player, his two desktops and his laptop...
I hear people make this argument all the time, but it never comes from a biologist.
That's completely BS. Read Stephen Jay Gould, he wrote several chapters debating exactly this point. But do not let the facts get in the way.

Oh, and in case your reading this ID guys, thanks for your linux support
Well, after reading this: http://www.linuxgames.com/archives/10532 I am not sure you will be so happy.
It seems that Carmack abandons Linux too...
I reply to mysel: to make this change permanent, I created a file called: /etc/X11/xinit.d/20nvidia-te-acceleration
which contains:
#!/bin/sh
if [ -x /usr/bin/nvidia-settings ]; then /usr/bin/nvidia-settings -a InitialPixmapPlacement=2 -a GlyphCache=1
fi
Use this setting:
nvidia-settings -a InitialPixmapPlacement=2 -a GlyphCache=1
Using this trick, resize becomes snappy.
... which is the mark of buffer overflow vulnerabilities (e.g. http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/19204)
If in the code you see a fix that looks like:
- for (int i=0; i<=bound; i++) {
+ for (int i=0; i<bound; i++) {
that gives you a good clue a buffer overflow may have been fixed.
But only a diff will tell you where to look for the fix/vulnerability...
It has been reduced to 23 or less actually: http://cubezzz.homelinux.org/drupal/?q=node/view/117
You obviously belong to the 10th category :)
There are 10 kinds of people. Those who understand binary notation, and those who do not.
We don't need terrorists anymore, we are doing their job for them. Thanks Gordon.

I live in the UK, I guess that would be the city or county councils.
