I am a college student with a below par GPA looking at yet another suspension due to lack of attending classes (they get boring, very very boring). Generally when i would go i would not pay attentions anyway and i would miss little that i couldn't teach myself. But, when the days absent rack up and I find myself unable to recuperate from the missed days as I am attempting to study.
Also, i seem to be a great project starter great enthusiasm for a very short period of time, I generally only give credit to professors here at college as Good professors if they can somehow spark my interest for a semester at a time. (I managed to pull a B in a data structures class with attending 5-6 days, most of them tests).
Wrong my friend, it isn't a toy. I have successfully used it many times over the past year and a half for a multitude of things, yes it lacks features, but guess what, who really gives a hoot. I can do everything i need to with it, and i use it in critical places, because guess what fellas, its fast, and I prefer to work around its lackings than put up with PostgreSQL that has never been anything but a headache.
That article is 2 years old. MySQL has advanced greatly since. The author of that paper seems to suggest that the only reason to not use MySQL is for its lack of transactions. Well boys it is in and works great.
You know, if get an illiterate to go to the website, and download the implementation, and someone just stumbles across it on his computer, then i don't think the license would apply. 1) You never read it, 2) You just found this neato Microsoft Help file. Also, this is easier to bypass than a clickwrap license, you don't even have to click an accept to view, you just have to play ignorant to reading the site its on.
Just realized a quote from their CIFS agreement, before i print and sign my soul away.
3.1 Copyright License. Subject to Section 3.3, Microsoft hereby grants Company a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, personal, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to (a) make a reasonable number of complete copies of the Technical Reference and (b) use the Technical Reference for the sole purpose of developing Company Implementations.
3.3 IPR Impairing License Restrictions. For reasons, including without limitation, because (i) Company does not have the right to sublicense its rights to the Necessary Claims and (ii) Company's license rights hereunder to Microsoft's intellectual property are limited in scope, Company shall not distribute any Company Implementation in any manner that would subject such Company Implementation to the terms of an IPR Impairing License.
So if Company is sold, with software package intact as its only product, since its non-transferable, non-sublicenseable non-existant till the new Company gets a license, or does that mean the Software goes into some sort of no license hell that removes this agreement from affecting it and lets it be sublicensed to GPL?
You know i really have nothing to lose by doing it, even though the sad thing is i would probably end up in jail for a longer period of time than the average real criminal.
Don't just go down one hall, go through multiple dorms that arn't special or that the tour guide takes you through. At my school the different dorms have different types of students, with different personalities, I.E. in my dorm we entered a Homecoming float, along with kidnapping birthday boys, where others are known for their Half-Life population or their drunks.
What school is this... sounds almost like mine with a reverse ratio, the school has about a 4-5:1 male female ratio and about a 100:1 cs ratio, yes it sucks majorly, its what happens when you attend an engineering based school.
I work for one. If someone cancels, we ask why and cancel them. If it is due to a problem that we could of fixed our head honcho calls them asking why, and what can he do about it.
We only have 5 tech support people and 5000 users, on dialup service and DSL service. Our primary concern is the customer unlike some other ISP's and in our little area (4 minor & 2 Semi-Major cities in Mid-East TN) that we cover, we are the #1 ISP.
We have been asked by other bigger ISP's to buy us out, but the thing that sets our company apart from the others, is we are in it for the long haul, we don't want to be bought out.
Yes some coders wouldn't code, but then you would have the money suckers, that don't care and have no ethics, getting paid the big bucks to code something no one else will.
HP has always been nice to the linux community, they have this nice Sourceforge project for their printer drivers. Its a real shame though that I bought their cheapest (stupid move) laser printer a few months back and it doesn't like linux (Only supports PCL not PostScript).
I get into the zone for my development, when its late at night and i was almost on the virge of sleep. My best programming is done from midnight to 4:00 am. Also, i do it laying in bed with my trusty HP laptop that is running XP (linux has hardware problems). Phone calls & emails ruin the zone. Also music, it needs to be rock & rap, something with a good strong beat, stuff i am decently familar with and can sing along to.

Nice topic,
First hand, no real help to offer here button.

A 12 cylinder car would be oh so much heavier, hence slowing down acceleration.
So I guess my slim, 6'6", 170lbs frame won't fit in it?
Guess some basketball players just go to the nerds.
8mb ram
ogg support
ogg file 3-5 mb
so if i am lucky i get two oggs and the application
oh darn, that speaker's quality sucks.

OpenQVIS?
r ojects returns No Matches.
www.google.com/search?q=OpenQVIS returns 4 results, 5 if you allow omissions.

What is it? Where can I find it?
Is that enough links there? Glad this isn't that impressive to me.
XEmacs is Emacs with an X interface.
I think XEmacs has some different bindings than Emacs.
So its now Insects -> Monkeys -> Humans in the evolution chain?
Without them. LFS all the way baby. GTK2, X4.2.1, XFT, all the bonuses.
XDocs are based around the XML specification. Hence, wouldn't they be easily modifiable?
Let me guess, IE7 will include built in support for them.

Excerpt from the vinum website: Currently, Vinum runs only on the FreeBSD operating system.
I told it to block the cookie.
A good bike lock? All the ones i have seen i can pick without a pickset. Get a cable with loops, and a solid master lock.
