So now it seems people are using the term "ISO" to refer both to a quality management conformance certificate and to a disc image. In that case, you can get your Tetris ISO from this quality management consulting firm, or from this gamez site.
Bait and switch? I see an opportunity to switch, but no forced switch. I clicked through your dotgnu link and ended up at a wiki page giving the status of System.Windows.Forms support in DotGNU.
Lighter-weight than cygwin is MinGW, a port of GCC that uses msvcrt.dll instead of cygwin1.dll. The stereotypical C hello world works in MinGW as well.
if I do go as far as changing every non-core API call in my app, I'm hardly going to care much if the bytecode is different - I have to maintain and generate two versions anyway.
You seem to claim that the way for a seller to screw its competitors is to "deliver[] a superior product." How is Microsoft Windows a "superior product" compared to the other windowing systems that have appeared on the PC platform?
That's why I burn all GIFs first. PNG is a W3C approved standard, and MNG is on the standards track as an extension to PNG. Yes, IE handles PNG at least as well as it handles still GIF, and no, I currently don't need no steenkin' animations.
The Mozilla.org team developed the core of Netscape 6 and 7, but Mozilla.org until recently never had much of a "product team" and didn't market Mozilla to end users. Much of what was the Netscape product team is now the Mozilla.org product team.
even vector animation would have to be rasterized at some point.
A 3D video game's display is in essence a vector animation made of thousands of triangles with textures, and the existing 3D video cards do a good job of rasterizing them.
you would a hell of a lot of memory and bandwith to transfer that amount of data.
How much bandwidth is there between a CPU and a video card over an AGP 8x port? How much bandwidth is there between the video chip and the DDR SDRAM on the video card?
But I agree that for displays of billboard size, it's almost never going to be worthwhile to render them that finely. A resolution of 200 pixels per meter is probably enough for a billboard.
ISPs deploy e-mail servers only because SMTP and POP3 have been around since the dawn of the public Internet. Jabber is several years less mature than SMTP/POP3 and may take a decade to become established to the point where ISPs offer a Jabber account as part of the basic residential Internet access plan.
it's a simple, well understood problem, with simple, well understood solutions.
Most of these are social. How are users going to talk SBC, AOL, MSN, or any of the other three-letter ISPs into offering Jabber servers?
Now I'm curious. How were you able to guarantee this? What steps did you take to prevent yourself from accidentally plagiarizing something? I'd have written more songs except for this one legal detail.
Unless everyone in the world has the same printer I can't see how both goals are not contradictory.
PDF seems to have no trouble printing identically on all black-and-white printers. If a page layout program must base its formatting decisions on the characteristics of the printer attached to the last computer that edited the file, why not save those characteristics in the document?
That's the solution, right there. If you want to open Office documents, go to OpenOffice.org. In fact, its.doc import filter seems to work even better than Microsoft's own, especially when trying to recover damaged documents.
Obstacles to fully-distributed realtime messaging include NAT, residential Internet access acceptable use policies that often ban servers, and the load on DNS or whatever other system that the system uses to locate users.
The AIM client is proprietary. Free software is at least distributed with source code.
Where's the AIM client for the Solaris OS on a SPARC CPU? You see, if the official clients for IM networks other than Jabber were free software, I would be able to recompile the Windows versions with winelib and use them on the Solaris OS, GNU/Linux, *BSD, AIX, or even SCO UNIX.
A "workstation" is a desktop computer that is primarily found at work. Computers typically don't end up in homes until commercial games are available for their platform. Therefore, a "workstation" is a desktop computer whose platform has few available commercial games.
The Solaris operating environment on the SPARC architecture has even fewer commercial games than the Mac platform.
Conclusion: Sun desktop machines with SPARC CPUs are "workstations."
Of course, when the only other viable option is NO broadband at all, I'll quite happily take the monopoly provider, no matter how ugly.
Would you take broadband if no incoming connections were allowed, everything outgoing but port 80 and port 443 were blocked, and your IP address changed every time one minute has passed with no packets sent?
Would you take broadband if, in addition to the preceding restriction, access to the ISP's affiliated sites were high-speed but access outside the ISP's network were as slow as dial-up? For example, AOL might introduce a web access plan that gives fast access to CNN, Cartoon Network, and other Time properties but slow access to ABC News, MSNBC, Slashdot, and pretty much everything else. Would you want this?

This search worked for me
Petitions only work if ... or b) the petition is to force a state government to put something to a vote (e.g. referendum process).
This petition seems to lead to a vote of no confidence in ICANN by national communications regulators.
Dont follow it no iso...

Only if that number didn't already belong to somebody else.
Which is much more common in a 16-letter[1] namespace than in a 7-digit namespace.
[1] That's a "typical" domain name length. The fact that domain names can be longer is beside the point.

More like free as in "where's the version for my platform?"

Then what AIM client do Solaris OS users have? Are they stuck with the one for Java technology?
You can already download their clients for free
Free, eh? Where's the source code?
open Office
That's the solution, right there. If you want to open Office documents, go to OpenOffice.org. In fact, its .doc import filter seems to work even better than Microsoft's own, especially when trying to recover damaged documents.
Just don't try to go to OpenOrifice.org. You won't like it.
anybody can set up their own server
