Please forgive me if I'm wrong, but UDPP2P does not seem to be "promising".
I've checked the web site. It basically says "we broadcast all the queries and if someone has the file we meet each other by using secret codes hidden in those queries".
A peer-to-peer network that does queries in terms of network-wide broadcast is always doomed to fail. Gnutalla failed (and was redesigned) the same way. Even Novell NetWare was unable to scale because of SAP (service advertising protocol).
Nevertheless, the web site says "peers will somehow know each other". This is also a big problem in P2P networks. -- No design only big words.
Anyways, if I were you, I'd use freenet. It's anonymous, and it works much better than the scheme explained on the web site.
Sorry to say this, but flash has "pause, reward and forward" functionalities.
Just try to right click on the movie.
- Uncheck "Play" to pause the movie - Check it again to "Resume" - There is a big "Rewind" option - Use "Forward" and "Backward" to navigate (unfortunately these two does not work well all the time)
We all know that standard pascal is not more than history.
However the new Pascal, namely Object Pascal, is implemented in BP 7.0, Delphi, Free Pascal and (mostly) GPC. Thus it's already open and widely available.
This time the standards organization is not IEEE but Borland. And Borland has no bad reputation in this area. They are nice to developers even to compatitors (eg: they have allowed use of Turbo Vision libraries in rhide).
I know this is offtopic, but I have somethings to say as a (former) Pascal user.
Pascal is good in some areas:
Pascal is very "neat" (except for pointer syntax, which has been fixed in ObjectPascal/Delphi).
It's fast, especially in development time.
It's well known and it had been used widely.
thus, there is alreasy too much source code and binary components readily available (anybody remembers SWAG?).
It's strongly typed (not an advantage for evertone, though).
It's object oriented and has a very nice syntax (compare and avarage MFC code with a Delphi one and see).
It's portable (thanks to GNU Pascal and FreePascal, the latter is much better).
There are already a very sufficient library support for FreePascal (if anything is missing, you can import C libraries easily).
It's good for database programming (i do not know why, but some vendors used to mix SQL in Pascal or vice versa).
However something is missing (except for A^[13] syntax): the applications. There are too many tools (IDEs, RAD tools, libraries). There are many DOS and Windows apps, but it's not used in Linux, yet.
And here some ideas for using pascal...
mod_pascal: OO programming for Apache, with use of existing data access and XML objects.
server console: anybody remembers Netware console? Instead of the regular shell, we can start the servers in a special console application, probably using TurboVision or similar.
gui applications: Delphi is a very nice and rapid way to deploy GUIs, with Kylix and lazarus, we can start a gui movement (especailly frontends to various Linux software), until mono is ready.
marketing: Kylix is there, but not much used. Why not advertise it as a movement path for developers (MFC -> VCL -> CLX -> Linux).
I'm running Kylix and JBuilder, which are closed source Borland applications.
They do well on RedHat and Slackware. They also support UnitedLinux, and a few others. But I did not try on thoso platforms.
This clearly shows that it's easy to target multiple distros. Well, they actually use LOKI installer, which does not make you miss InstallShield. It can use RPM database or ordinary tarballs. You can even uninstall the software easily.
I guess, Microsoft, too use these kind of installers, and support "GENERIC LINUX"

I'm not sure but you may need the CURL-devel packages.
(Ignore this if you already have it or use sources/gentoo/slackware/etc).
Well joe is definitlely very good. Especially if you're used to Turbo Pascal (<= 4.0) like editors.
For a long time, I've used joe for everything: homework, web design, config files, etc.
However, when I had to use Solaris systems, I was stuck with vi (I was able to compile joe but there were at least 4 different systems and I was lazy).
Now I see that VI is the "true way to go". Not only because you can find it everywhere (which is true for ED also), but also it enables you to work much more efficiently. Deleting, pasting, changing a bunch of lines, using regular expressions, etc makes your life happier.
It already uses native widgets to "render". Check it out on XP. You'll not be able to distinguish from the rest of the os (except for when you select "modern" theme).
But the problem is, it only uses native widgets to "render". It does not use native "behaviours" like keyboard navigation, etc. In the future, if MS add some features (say for accesibility), Moz will not be able to use them.
PS: I agree about the split. That will be very good, especially if thet also ship an ActiveX control. (To beat MSIE control).

Since most programmer of that era probably died in World War I, we'd never know...
Yes, but
++(++c)
works on most C compilers.
(++c) is defined as a reference, while (c++) is a value.

While checking the SCO website, I ran into a "UNIX Intellectual Property Timeline" page.
It's a looong chart of UNIX history including BSD, Minics, XENIX and Linux.
It's strange. If they are not accepting Linux as "UNIX" why is it there? (as one of the thicker lines, labeled as "SCO Linux").
Anyways, here is the link:

Kylix uses QT, which means it's not another l&f, but it's (like) KDE.
I've heard about GTK for Kylix, but haven't seen it yet.

But I guess we need to finish lazarus first
Yet, I still wonder if this conclusion can be used against DMCA itself.

Most of the classes come with their source. Just look at your %JAVAPATH%/src.jar. The exception is JNI clasess (native classes).
However, the license is much like "SHARED SOURCE" and you must NEVER look at it, if you want to contribute to GNU java projects.
As for Linux: I heard that Wine supports WMP.
FreeBSD: It's for daemons, anyway...
A sharp zaurus comes with linux which can play OGG. And an extra 256MB mem is less than $100...

I hope one that you'll find the light too.

I know: because they are "sister" sites. But it does not look like "news for the nerds".
Sorry for interrupting...
Linus says: "use tar, do not use dump. it's not a good design anyway"
I'd better listen to him.
I think he probably means other uses, like "eggshell" or "sea shell", or even "bourne again shell" (bash).
Does anybody know where they are? (Again really sorry for asking this. But you know the story is already sec^H^H^Hbroken).
Open Source (for me) means, you're able to "take an active part in development" not only "be a able to watch it". The second one is "Shared Source".
Than we'll have "portable" software!
Just kidding... :)
- You have to keep all the "propitary notices"
- You have to make all your source available under this license. If you distribute binary only then, you must give a way to download the source
- Also you allow Realnetworks use your code any way they want
- You cannot restrict any derived work's license.
The license is at this locations and they claim that all the code will be released under this license.They're already doing too much processing on email, and increasing this will mean increasing hardware and support costs.
