Still you can't link to a c library and produce a completely java product.
Well, thanks for pointing out that, Mr. Obvious, I'd never have figured out that when linking into c library, that library is not automagically going to re-assemble itself into java bytecode.
Hunh? jEdit rocks, since when it has to be used to only create other Java applications? I though a text editor is text editor is a text editor dependless of what language it's written with.

Same holds true for eg. Eclipse, even if it's optimized for Java there are plenty of features for writing software in other languages.
To counter the "MS builds office into Windows" argument shouldn't OO.o be allowed to use the quickstarter? That enabled, takes maybe 1-2 seconds to load a template.
That's on 700MHz Duron, so no mucle machine trickery here. I've got rather fast 7200RPM disk, though.

Of course it might be that 1.3 RH8 rpms are broken, or are not functioning correctly on RH9, or number of sunspots and alignment of planets isw wrong.
They are not selling what they do not own, they are in business of selling ease of installation and configuration for those things, as well as support.
Watt is one Joule per second, fission plant constantly producing one gigawatt of heat would take (3.14*10^23)/(10^9) seconds (that's ten million years) to produce amount of energy we just received (for free! how generous of universe)
It sure seems significant when it hits the ground... the amount of energy is almost incomprehensible.
Calculations in order. May be wrong, someone correct if they are. I'll assume asteroid has average density of 3000kg/m^3, which shouldn't be too far.
And, magically it also happens to be perfectly spherical so as to help us with the pesky volume/mass things. Our 10km diameter baby weighs
m = 3000*4/3*pi*5000^3 = 1.57*10^15 kg
He's moving at velocity of 20 km/s, so kinetic energy is something like:
F = 1/2*1.57*10^15*20000^2 = 3.14*10^23 J
Everyones favourite unit of large destructive power, one hundred megaton nuke (~7000 times bigger than one used in Hiroshima) would be along the lines of 400*10^15 J, our asteroid pal here would crash with force equivalent to 78.5 thousand gigatons. Bit under eight hundred thousand of those bombs.
Dunno but "huge thermal pulse" that might cause some fire on the ground seems bit underestimated. Wouldn't wonder if large parts of atmosphere and anything below it would be turned into plasma. I'd rather be following the whole ordeal from Mars, however.
Earth is ball of rock with diameter of 12000 km, and mass of 6*10^24 kg, it's frigging HUGE.
Atmosphere is thin strip of gas merely tens of kilometers tall on top of that (yeah, of course it extends long into space but most is under 30km), weights about million times less. It's nothing compared to rest of the planet.
Rock also has huge advantage over air in thermal conduction and storage capasity to take and distribute all that heat./me thinks Mother Earth is the better candidate of those two for receiving and surviving punishment.
AIDS and Ebola are not masterpieces, they are failures, temporary mistakes that would probably evolve to something more benign with time.
Disease or any other parasite that diminishes its host population is suicidal, nothing evolves with an insintric goal of "screwing up others" but survival, if every host is gone, the pathogen has nowhere else to live and dies out as an evolutionary dead-end.
Influenza may be a masterpiece, if it would have that strange "kill 'em all" -mentality, every influenza wave could be spanish flu class killer, but that's a very rare blunder and most of the time it's not very fatal to healthy people... ensures the availability of hosts.
Maybe if you'd bother reading the damn comment you'd notice there is no difference between the two methods I described. Neither did I made any claims it was more useable, less useable or anything else about useability in general. In this one specific respect with a new enough version it is one hundred percent equal. Dragging a file into directory is done the same way, whether it happens in Nautilus, Konqueror or Explorer.
Or are you claiming there is some supernatural entity at work, affecting only Linux users, that makes your grandmother and mother to lose their ability to point a mouse cursor on top of an icon, push and hold button, move the cursor again, and release button when it's on top of another icon? Because it's still how it works with both fontconfig enabled apps (the user, of course, doesn't have to know anything about fontconfig and all, new distributions support it out of the box) and windows.
StarOffice was created by Star Division, a company, not community. It was free as in beer, and only after sun bought stardivision for about 73 million dollars and _gave_ away the source that became OpenOffice the community has done anything about it.
<sarcasm>Very greedy indeed. Always sucks to see this happen. And curse those damned Netscape folks too that had the nerve to do about same and give away their Navigator sources so it might become Mozilla.</sarcasm>
And Sun very much developed Java themselves. They've probably been including some community work into later versions, but isn't it good that useful libraries get incorporated into base distribution so everyone can use them?
He just said all you need to do is add a file into.fonts.
So please tell how, exactly, it is harder to drag and drop a file into ~/.fonts in graphical file manager than to so the very same, except that the directory happens to be 'control panel\Fonts'?
For most systems, latter is actually %SystemRoot%\Fonts, is there any way in windows for user without permissions to write on system folders to have their own non-systemwide fonts? Not flaming, I just want to know.

Even if that 10km large rock would be broken down to fine sand, it's total mass and velocity will still be that of the original 10km large rock. That's a same amount (a lot) of kinetic energy, no matter whether it's in one piece or 100000000.
It's not going to just magically disperse and do nothing, that would violate the laws of thermodynamics, that energy has to go somewhere, namely into the atmosphere as heat, and none of us would probably want to be on a receiving end of a weather effect that would result from dumping dumping all that matter and heat into atmosphere very quickly.
For small rocks breaking them up into so small parts that they will burn totally should work reasonably well, but I wouldn't try that with anything huge.
No respect for others is roughly equal with the global opinion thing, obviously he DOESN'T have respect for the invidual people who happen to make up that opinion. CHECK.
Careless regard for international law == disregarding the UN as well (hey, enforcers of the international law are going weak, yeehaa, now we can do whatever we want!1). CHECK.
A bad track record? This and Afghanistan. CHECK.
Mentally unstable? No, however stupid I may think Bush is, can't say he is a lunatic, but perfectly sane people can and will sometimes do very bad things.
Good you remember to remind that you're ending a war that you started 12 years ago.
Nice you also mention that you're hoping you'll be able to root out WMD's that may not even exist, end bombing you've been doing and economic sanctions you pushed onto them on the first place that have killed thousands and driven the entire country into ruin.
But a person who has shown has he has no troubles with going against overwhelming global opinion in control of a superpower is a very frightening thought and obviously not good.
Hitler stood up to a global opinion and obviously did have cojones to do what he thought was the right thing. I don't see anyone praising him for that, though some of people of the Germany probably did, at the time. They voted for him, after all.
No, I'm not trying to claim Bush is anything like A. Hitler, I just loaned your own words to say courage combined with no respect for others sometimes lead to very bad things happening.
Consensus of the world is that Iraq may pose some threat but not a threat big enough to justify a war.
That's what UN said. That's what most _people_, of countries other than US seem to be saying. But you don't listen. Please don't try to claim _THE WORLD_ has consensus on something when you clearly mean the US.

That works both ways. I assume that if small Iraqi special ops team now that you're ONCE AGAIN crossed their border would smuggle a WMD(s) into US and activate them, you and the rest of the US population would think like you hint in this post and admit it was justified and defence only?

You VERY conveniently forget who didn't only force Saddam onto that agreement on a gun pipe, but actually used that gun before.
A contract forced is not valid by any means. Bombing someone to stone age and then beat them to agreement threatening more violence if they don't comply is not a very convincing argument.

I've yet to see your so-called proof about those WMDs (I do, however know you have plenty of them and have shown will to use them as well)
BioWare doesn't have any more insight into workings of InstallShield they could contribute to Wine than any other person or organization. They didn't write it.
Even if they, for some arcane reason did, you can be sure that they're being stopped from using it by some kind of agreement when they first chose to use that as an installer.
