  1. Re: Freedom is not having to bark on command. on ESR Writes About O'Reilly and FSF Differences · · Score: 1

    When 2002 comes, and Windows 98 is obsolete, how will Bill Gates prevent me from using it or programming for it? Will MSDN suddenly disappear? Will my SDK cds melt? When my computer stops doing what I tell it to do, I'll go and get a new one. Notice the GPL doesn't fit anywhere here.

    Um, check with WASP. IE for Mac fully supports CSS 1 and HTML. Since you don't believe me, here.

    I thought linux prided itself on doing more with less? Doesn't that make this a valid test?

    Of course a more valid test would have been to compare the results on a 'ridiculously outdated machine' and on a high end top of the line mofo.

    I have no say in the matter, but I bet more people prefer konqueror than knoqueror...

    Bill Gates has decided that Windows 98 is obsolete to Windows SE and Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

    Funny, I'm still using it. And programming for it :)

    See, before this morning, I would have derided you as a complete moron. But here I am, writing MFC code trying to do something as simple as providing multiple extension filters for an SDI app, and MFC doesn't let you do it! You can't derive from existing classes to do it, you have to cut and paste and point to your own stuff... Ridiculous

    Since you've clearly already 'been there, done that', have you heard of anything that sounds even remotely better (whether you've had a chance to check out yet or not)?

    There was an article about this in Scientific American, but I can't find the link. Do yourself a favor and find it, without pictures, articles discussing the technique are useless. (eg, look at the shiny pretty sword)

    Explain CIFS, Samba, SMB, and how these things relate to each other and why Microsoft blocking them would be a bad thing and why you couldn't work around if they did and what would this affect people who don't bother to upgrade from their current NT/2k boxes to XP?

  24. Re:Levers and pulleys on Update on the Kite-Obelisk Project · · Score: 3

    Basically the Egyptian government is worried that if someone somewhere can prove without a doubt that the Jews (slaves in Egypt waaaaaay back when) built the pyramids, then there's gonna be hell to pay when Israel wants to take back the pyramids that their blood built. In today's politically correct climate, they'd have a decent legal shot at it too. So they fund experiments like this to prove that their ancestors were much smarter and greater than we give them credit for.

    Even though you and I know that the easiest way to build pyramids would be to use slaves, for all we know aliens could have erected them as landing points for giant starships.
