The only deals we need from those people are natural gas and oil, sooner or later we may not need those either, let them rot in their own religion, it's their worst enemy. Incidents like this one are the kind of thing that makes me despise their culture altogether.
GUIs are just a graphical interface for something, they are harder to code basically because you have to draw stuff in the screen making it visually appealing without becoming meaningless to the user, or even cumbersome.
You can do everything with a good GUI, that's what it is for, to make things simple and easy.
If your GUI dosn't offer the same advantages than a console/terminal text interface, then your GUI is lacking some features and is a GUI for some but not all your needs, very common in the nix world btw, someone makes a gnome app to control some program or to provide an interface to some utility, and when you try it, you find out it lacks the most important stuff and you are better off writing things inside a terminal.
That dosn't make all GUI apps any worser that any other text app, if it lacks it, code it yourself.
Wait till the religious fanatics hear this. I have already heard claim from them years ago that radioactive decay is not constant, and that's why carbon dating can not be trusted. The fossils are not a few million years old. The Earth is only a few thousand years old.
I bet these religious fanatics will now site this article as their proof!
If decay slowed down, that would mean the earth is even older than we think, and without a list of decay interaction solar events (lol) that happened throughout history, we would never be able to assert a correct age of the earth or any piece of anything in this solar system
first magnetic reconection, now explosive behaviour on auroras, we might aswell be about to discover some neat fuel source that dosn't imply burning dinosaur remains
yeah, in all it's capitalized glory, that was my opinion right on the title.
why so? because there will be time for that, there is enough crappy stuff floating on the intertubes as to release a 'toolkit' that allows to add the whole world of linux servers to the fotm botnet
i never thought about it like that, i always wondered why, why, they do not sign the f-ing papers, now i have another more likely hypothesis, and, yes you are right, here in europe ppl signs things all the time but they usually don't mean dick anyways.
the debugger is the best ive ever seen, and ive seen them all (gnu ones too), and the main reason i switched from vc6 to vc9, for those linux acolytes vc9 is the one inside VS2008
intellisense it's broken, has always been broken and i think it will always be, i hate having to delete that damn.ncb file once in a while just to fix it
The point its easy to spot, which language is used to code kernel libraries? core operating system parts? drivers? big name applications?.net? i dont think so.
if you dont mind, ill stick to my c/c++ coding practices for the time being, and btw me thinks vc9 is the new vc6, just saying
and there is the issue of money, and there are a lot of issues. eve is a sandbox filled with possibilities for everyone, where grinding doesn't make you 'better' but gives you money which in turn gives you power in the same sense it does in rl.
The life of a eve scientist who flies from station to station in shuttles queuing up research projects is pretty lame.
Thats your opinion, nothing else, there might be people that enjoys doing exactly that.
So is waiting a month to level up a skill to get 5% more damage.
The only skills that take a month to give a 5% more of damage are those that upon completion enable you to use Tech 2 weapons, which do more dmg and require more skills and so on.
Then, there is the point of diminishing returns, you can train a skill that is going to give you a 20% more damage output in 5 days, it takes a month to give you an additional 5%, orbiting a target ship far from your weapons optimal range takes 100% of it, orbiting faster than your weapons tracking speed, takes 100% of dmg output.
I mean the concept of skill is that a better skilled player will win.
Yes, but that kind of 'skill' is not in the game to be bought, train or bargain with. Its earned with gaming experience and only if you are smart enough to earn it.
The proof to this is that a n00b can go a buy an old character that has lots of skillbooks and sp, and he will be a n00b anyway and will fall in all traps and be killed by being a n00b or by using 'honor tank' (lulz).
While a skilled player can make a new character from scratch, a toon that has no skills and can barely fly a t1 frigate, and make many great things.
Not to mention that skills only enable you to use some kind of new equipment, it does very little as to how, where and when to use it. In fact, being a highly skilled pilot has more to do with real skill than anything the game provides, i.e.: the new Tech 3 class of ships, they are awesome, quite expensive in terms of money and skillbook requirements, but they don't make you invincible, a good skilled Tech 1 cruiser pilot could kill you if you are not careful, using equipment worth only less than 1% of the cost of your t3 cruiser.
i wouldn't be surprised if there were some monetary ties between some government officials and those licensing the software, read:corruption
they make a program and pass a law so that everybody must use it, now they charge the government who pays a hefty amount of money that comes from taxes, and a new bussiness is made, i wonder how much money are we talking here
it is starting to look very polished, ionescu et al are doing an awesome job, maybe to some of you it dosn't appeal too much, but from my perspective it might become a drop in replacement for windows, you know, the kind of replacement that you can actually offer to any middle bussiness thats been all its life tied and slaved to windows for one reason or another, unwillingly or not, full compatibility without any of their employees having to buy a couple of neurons to learn about a new os, keeping old data and programs at hand etc. after all asus is a bussiness like any other and ms has all the bucks in the world to buy it's way around, no doubt that if ms sees them as a threat at any moment, they will send some heat their way, just saying

faster speed or something like that

my 2 cents ..
Agreed, and if you have a GPU from nvidia or ati you can try OpenCL and get around a hundred GFlops for a few dolars/euros
they just couldn't figure out how to access subversion so they got the code thru some more entertaining ways
After reading some of the comments, i'd say you asked for it...
...no kidding

thanks m8
the server has been completely slashdotted to hell, maybe i'll get to read the gnome mailing list tomorrow :P
if in doubt ask this guy, he/she may or may not have something to with these news xD http://ask.slashdot.org/story/09/12/01/0025213/Ethics-of-Releasing-Non-Malicious-Linux-Malware

thank you kind sir!! :)

that might be right, but they took 10 years to build a good VC since VC6, what makes you think they are going to do it 2 times in a row?
