Just like we all know the earth is flat and that it must be the centre of the universe.
You really should speak to Ferdinand Magellan and ask why the set out to find a westward trade route because he's going to fall of the edge of the earth, or maybe you just think Galileo was stupid and would like to tell him is observations where pointless .
Science is all about testing preconceived ideas, there may well be no evidence to prove a haunting but that's why you investigate scientifically. You never know you might just find there is something odd going on 'the root cause of the belief' this in turn you instigate and then possibly you find something mundane. An odd effect of the central heating and natural air currents due to the shape of the building causing sudden cooling of a single room, or heaven above something as earth changing as the earth not being flat...
over-reporting will result in people making up their own minds (we hope.)
While i generally agree that over reporting is better than under reporting, there is the problem that just by reporting a store it is legitimized to some degree. There are always people that will beleve everything you say!
Catia, Unigraphics, Pro-E and other world-class CAD systems simply do not run on Linux. Control software for Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM) is only available for the Microsoft Windows platform. That software often controls the basic construction of a manufacturing companies IT infrastructure.
Yes you are right that there is a need for linux version of these applications, as a user of Pro/ENGINEER and linux I can understand the problem. But a port of Pro/ENGINEER is under way. see this FAQ. There is already a linux port of Alias Wavefront another major package.
As such you can seen that though there is still a problem with the lack of high end grahical and engneering application this is slowly reducing.
"how are you supposed to "put on" some music without ELECTRICITY" Battery powered speakers and walkman?
<pedantic> Umm correct me if i'm wrong but don't batteries store eletrical charge AKA electricity;) kinnell asked how would you do it without electricity. </pedantic>
The Union Jack of the UK is formed from individual flags of the three kingdoms
We'll not quite, it should be called the Union flag, to be the Union jack it needs to be flown at the jack staff. Although the Union flag is commonly, but incorrectly, called the Union jack
have a look hear for more details.
But they cannot prevent linksys from releaseing the changes to anyone, though as has been said linksys are under no obligation to relese it.
Thus it could be argueed that the bad press from towards Broadcom, from not releseaing it would be worse than the almost garanteed relese of it at some point thus they should release it.

Ok, what about altitude ie that digit code narrows it down to the square meter but what about a tower bock, or block of flats where that meter could be covered by 10+ different places.
Let's give Apple some credit here Indeed, i could never see how microsoft gets away with drastic changes in interface and behaviour and everone says 'Yay':) and when Apple so it eveyone says 'Boo':(.
Must be because Microsoft bassing dose not sell papers etc, or possibly./ has a patented it;)
The problem comes that users don't like change, especially innovative changes. They have become acustomed to the the querks of the system they are using, ie they are comfortable with it.
If you fighting for users an innovative change has to be SO innotave, that the advantage of the change out way the trouble of learning it's querks.
Most of my friends that are old mac users don't like MacOS X because it isn't identical to earlier version, The way they do thing has to change even though now once they have learned the new way it more efficent.
... recording companies would reject the analogy to investment firmsand argue that relatively few acts ever make a profit
But lots of bussines don't make money too. It a gamble or should i call that a calculated risk.
If lots of their bands don't make money don't sign them, Sign the ones that do. The music company will need to get good at finding bands that make money.
Now the down side of this is then the music corps will only give us tried and tested music, but where the change there?
"Nobody lost anything", except control over their creations.
This is not ture, they have been denied the money that castle would needed to pay the copywrite owner to licence the code in a form that castle could use it in there produce.
Just because the copywrite owner has licenced it under the GPL it dosen't stop them selling the same code under a non GPL licence, though may not get many uptakes of this offer.;)
It has been comfermed by an unnamed working of the National Physical Laboratory at Disaster Area a universally renown musician has placed an order for a considerable quanty of super-black. Sources close to Disaster Area has so far not been able to lay light on the planned use for this material.
I agree here. Should we lower all speed limits to 25, become some people don't want to drive fast (or can't and still be safe)? Your right, i see, we should all be forced to drive at the speed limit an not a single mph slower.
What ever next giving people choice? This DVD player is not being forced on you, you don't have to buy it or use it. It for people that don't want to see content containing voilence,sex or bad language etc. i give them the choice not to see it.
It's not always as simple as substituting words. For example, a page layout or dialog box that looks great in English may look terrible in German because the average word length is greater. Don't even get me started on languages that don't go in the same direction!
This is true if you position you GUI widgets using fixed positions, but there are many examples of dynaminc positioning system/containers that enable the GUI to adapt to the changes in lenghts of the different strings in the translation.
Using this method is also inportant when you start to enable the user to select the screen font as the amount of landscape a control takes chages.
So if they sell a CD of a live preformance of 4'33 and i happen to cough, or even just be pressent as i make noises from just breathing can i claim a fee for my part in the rendition of the piece. When i purchesed my ticket i didn't sign any contract saying they could sell my work. ie the cough which i turnfully made is in essence is one of the central points of the rendition.
Of cource the lady that sneezed would also be able to claim a major part too.
so do correct me if i'm wrong but what i don't like about this license and the difference i see between it and the MPL is..

Ok they can sell the code you/we write that extends there code, This i don't have any problem with as long as we get equal rights. But you can't sell any dirived works.
4.1 You must cause any Derivative Work that you distribute, publish or Externally Deploy, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Covered Code or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License and no other license except as provided in Section 4.2. You also must make Source Code available for the Derivative Work under the same terms as Modifications, described in Sections 2 and 3, above.
I can see that they don't want you just adding one line of code the selling there product. The problem comes that they then could take 1000's of lines of code you/we have written do extend there code and sell them.
I have no solution, how does the mozilla group counter this problem.
16 seconds is very slow. I assume you are running a KDE desktop, because it only takes 5 second to load gedit and quit on my machine, which is a lowly PII 300Mhz.
But i'm running Gnome so i assume some, if not most, of the libs are already loaded.
Load another Gnome application then try to load gedit and see if he load time is reduced.
Open source allows anyone to fix a problem. Though the amount of time and effort that it will take you to do the fix is something which you have to way against the size of the problem.
Closed source you can't fix it no matter how big a problem it is.
I.e. what is the cost of the problem, would it cost you more to fix it than living with it.
Slashdot Mirror
it isn't.

After all did you think the earth was round or something stupid like that, not pear-shaped [obligatory wikipedia quote http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_Earth#cite_note-8 ]

Please stop, this thread is just getting long in the Knuth.
Is that like a tech version of Rock-paper-scissors

Please no more replies I just can't keep track of them all.
So would the comparison in this case would be the amount of hot air comming out on Darl Mc Bride mouth ;)
