Well it obviously has to be a hat that looks like a behind.
Ideally (shield your eyes here folks) it would look like a really old womans behind, with wrinkles and orange peel skin which was never meant for the eyes of a man.
I'm sure there is a market for this. Whats the URL for the US patent office? I wanna patent an asshat like that. No prior art? God damn, I'm on a winner here!
or "Dirty Rotten Crook" as "He's a good boy really. Wouldn't hurt a fly. I remember when he came home with a picture he painted at pre-school, oh I thought my heart would just bust! There is no way my little boy could have broken into that house and shot the owners or the $30 stereo system he had in his hands when he was caught on the front lawn that night."
A patent is supposed to be protective, not defensive. The idea is that a patent allows the holder to exploit his/her idea for a certain amount of time without interference.
Getting a patent and sitting on it without using it is abhorrent. It is basically saying 'I'm not going to use this idea, but I'm going to make sure no one else can either'. It isn't what the patents system was intended for.
Defensive patents being perfectly acceptable? What a load of shit. All a defensive patent does is choke the market
Do you reckon NASA would get upset at the astronaut who typed 'apt-get dist-update && apt-get dist-upgrade' from mars?
"But dude, they finally fixed X in this one!"
I think you are wrong. RMS does what he does and did what he did because he personally doesn't see that what he believes should be inalienable rights should be compromised in the name of profit.
Now you can argue as much as you like about whether he's right or not, but his motives are pretty damn pure.
You don't have to like him, and I'm pretty sure he doesn't give two tiny shits whether anyone does or doesn't, but if you have even half a brain in your head, you do have to respect him. Not often you see someone focus their beliefs in the way he has.
Oh yeah, also Mark Shuttleworth took a couple of laptops up to the ISS when he went up there in 2002. Ya think he was using povray on VxWorks? And no, I don't think it was Ubuntu either.
Nice claim "only OS to have left the earth" but its wrong on so many - hah - levels.
You might think yours is GPL'd right now, but I think you are going to find that later, when you start thinking about distributing copies, that EULA is going to come up and bite you on the arse. At some point, they ALL have a clause about using other systems.
Me, I think I'm pretty lucky. Mine is expensive, but she brings me cans of beer and watches the football with me, while the dinner is being cooked and the washing machine is doing its things. I've hacked the access system so ForePlay is minimal, but on the whole it works ok
That's, quite literally a fuckton of systems. So simply patching new kernels isn't going to make the problem go away.
Is fuckton a new word?
DAMN, I wish I could invent new words like that. The best I ever got was a unit of measurement called the poofteenth, which is a bit bigger than a gnats dick but a bit smaller than a tad.
In a scramble to get on topic, releasing a patch will make the problem go away. Anyone who is going to use GCC 4.3 in an environment where it matters (i.e. not GarageNerd writing his new killer localhost 2.0 app) is going to check the situation out before going ahead with it.
Unless you plan to sit for a couple of days waiting for your procedural materials to render, you use 2d images mapped onto a 3d surface wherever you can get away with it, no matter which 3d application you use. Photoshop is one of the biggest tools in a 3d designers toolbox, to the point where a lot of designers will have photoshop and their 3d app open side by side.
Realistically, the gimp is good, its fantastic. But photoshop is better in a lot of cases
Actually, that is interesting. What if the athlete concerned is already making some money from his blog about whatever sport he or she is involved in? It would hardly be valid for the IOC to prevent the athlete from continuing to make his living from his blog, especially given that he has to be an amateur sportsperson to enter the olympics. Be an interesting legal case.

What, you mean like 2.6.24-19?
Its not french, its Australian.

Yeah but CLINTON won that one. That can't be right.
My stepson spent the first ten years of his school life thinking publisher was the application for creating letters. Damn those blurry lines.
Chuck Norris...
No, thats the Zimbabwe version.

That was almost a haiku! Wish I had mod points.

*tinfoil hat*
Yeah but who is to say they haven't already fiddled with the compiler?
No, I think it was 2003 for the Columbia mission.

Bully for you!
Now all you need is Chuck Norris to use it and you will be truly l337.

God, could you imagine the roses you could grow with their manure!?
Gardeners would be going insane - actually, forget roses, think about the zucchini!

I wouldn't mind that, a lot of those athletes are gorgeous! Mind you, you would have to be a real enthusiast to watch the weightlifting...
And then disappear into obscurity as a very quiet blacklist prevented them from continuing with their sport.
Well yes, most things are when it comes to commercialising the fun out of anything.
