Vim 7 Released

funny thing is, I only use the arrow keys to navigate when I'm using a coworker's dvorak keyboard. On one of those, hjkl don't make much sense for navigation:w
Crap. When can I get vim embedded into text fields in Firefox?
it's called C++0x for now because it hasn't been finalized yet. When it's finalized, as expected in 2009, it will be C++09, just as when the last revision was finalized it was C++98
Most languages are revised over the years, deprecating some things, adding others.
Java, for example, has deprecated and added HUGE numbers of features and classes, and there've been many more official/standard versions of it than there have been of C++
I don't know - I'm rather confused as to how this cross-pollination from one type of plant to a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT type of plant occurred.
I mean, we know farmers get a bit lonely, and can "cross-pollinate" their sheep or other livestock from time to time - why don't we have man-sheep hybrids that are as smart as us?
How does GM corn cross pollinate with weeds to produce the same weed, with it's weedlike properties, conferring only the GM aspect of herbicide resistance?
Wouldn't you be more likely to produce ragweed-corn or some such? Sure, if the weed happened to be genetically VERY close to your GM crop (since same genus different species 99% of the time aren't capable of interbreeding) they might be able to cross-pollinate and produce a hybrid with some characteristics of both species. It might even confer all of the herbicide resistance. Maybe.
But then, under those conditions, wouldn't the end result be very very little different from the original plant you started with, since they have to be so similar to begin with?
Thank you for the further clarification. Web distribution by itself is insufficient to fulfill the requirements, and the need to make sure the separate sources for each released version are available.
One thing I'm unsure of - do.spec files need to be distributed? Isn't a.spec file essentially a special shell script that describes the steps in creating the package? Does that mean that if you distribute as a tar.bz you need to make available the command with which you made the tarball?
I certainly agree that it's in the spirit of open source, but would that be a hard-and-fast requirement of the license?
Small clarification - you're not freed from the requirement to make the code for the lgpl portion available. You don't have to make the source code for the program that links against the LGPL code available.
No, Sony would have been ok if they had installed a README with their rootkit explaining that their digital rights management solution contained code distributed under the LGPL license, and direct users of the software to a website containing the source code.
Just wait until someone reimplements many software functions that rely on sine, cosine, and tangent, using these new concepts, and get a patent on them.
Do you really want to blame Apple for the atrocity that is Windows?
No, what I really think is that people don't give the market as a whole a fair shake when it comes to UI heritages.
They pretty much all started from Xerox PARC, and percolated out from various sources, everyone taking a little from here, a little from there. To say that MS stole from Apple is to ignore all the other superior graphical systems at the time that MS chose to borrow from (my personal favorite being the GEM window system). Also, it implies that Apple had something really innovative as far as UI, which is largely untrue (Apple definitely did CREATIVE work in the development in the UI, but conceptually, architecturally, I don't think there was anything truly new).
Copy the current image, and paste it into that one as a new layer. Set the new layer to "difference", and it will subtract out the common noise from the two, and leave you with just the "true" pixels.
Because C++ doesn't required a VM, a JIT compiler, or an interpreter?
Because with C++ you can compile to dozens more architectures than you can run C#/Java code on?
Because if you want garbage collection in C or C++, you can use one of the many libraries that allow you to do so?
You don't like multiple inheritance? Eiffel allows it. You got a problem with multiple inheritance? It solves a problem. And, depending on the implementation of that solution, it can be a very good one.
The acceleration architecture is a port of the one in Keith Packard's KDrive X server, which is already in use, and already has a number of open source drivers.
The acceleration architecture affects mostly the RENDER extension, which is pretty straightforward stuff. I wouldn't be surprised if nVidia were to have a driver supporting it the day after Xorg official releases it.
I also wouldn't be surprised if nVidia had betas of it beforehand.

Windows will probably never completely go away, or at least not for a very long time, since they do still develop products for windows.

What's the difference between an oboe and a bassoon?
The bassoon burns longer.

unit tests don't just show that your program works, they show that your program STILL works (make great regression tests)
Neither. Use ed!
it's quite simple to do.
Save the earliest image you were able to get.
Copy the current image, and paste it into that one as a new layer. Set the new layer to "difference", and it will subtract out the common noise from the two, and leave you with just the "true" pixels.
low UIDs are overrated.
Wow - you're brighter than the median slashdot reader!

Not a cheat.
You can spend long, laborious hours dropping anything and everything through the hole.
Or, you can spend long, laborious hours micromanaging your people to make up for resources you didn't drop through the hold.
Oh yeah, and not everything you drop through comes back out again.

Oh yeah, and C++ predates Eiffel.
Wow - that suddenly turns most of the slashdot crowd into closet language-Microsofties, doesn't it?
I'm glad I'm on the side of good (spelling).
I know I did.
Bill Gates has attack monkeys? Man, it's good to be king.
if it's any consolation, the new render acceleration architecture will accelerate desktops with little to no eyecandy, too.
To be fair to X, most of it's memory usage isn't it's own, but pixbufs from applications that X is managing.
The acceleration architecture is a port of the one in Keith Packard's KDrive X server, which is already in use, and already has a number of open source drivers.
The acceleration architecture affects mostly the RENDER extension, which is pretty straightforward stuff. I wouldn't be surprised if nVidia were to have a driver supporting it the day after Xorg official releases it.
I also wouldn't be surprised if nVidia had betas of it beforehand.
The current plan is to release 6.9 and 7.0 simultaneously, where 2.9 is monolithic and 7.0 is the modularized X.
