Using Cntr-C and Cntr-V the Windows way versus the X11 way shows that from a ergonomic standpoint the X11 way are far superior than Windows - X11 requires less interaction by the user thus making it a faster operation than Windows using the control key.
3 klick middle button on new place to place text there
With X11 substituting text the old-fashined way
1. select startpoint of text
2. drag to endpoint
3. klick on new location with middle button to pasta
4. select startpoint of old text
5. drag to endpoint
6. press DEL to delete
Total 3+6 = 9 actions needed by the user. Which are less the 11 needed by Cntrl-C/Cntrl-V!
X11 has a better solution - windows are 22 % slower than X11. The most common operation - to move some text from one place to another are 66% slower in Windows than in X11!
As soon as a new competitor enters a market with a hope of taking a big chunk of the market the compentitions gets harder for all in the market and the buyers always wins. Price is an important factor to gain marketshare. Another is to innovate and has the best produkt in the market.
So yes as soon as a major players enters a new market the price will get lower and the pace of innovation will rise.
Its easy to see that in markets where Microsoft has managed to get an large market share - a monopoly - the innovation has stagnated a lot. I.e. Internet Explorer. This is also fundamental - no need to spend resources to innovate when one has a monopoly - most of the resources are instead used for featurebloat and nice new interfaces.
So what they are observing are the natural way a market works when a big players enters. Initially all is well for the buyers in the market - but if it escalates into an monopoly the long term result are innovation stagnation.
With 10 pictures each 30 k you have about 300 k to download.
The download time for a modem are about 300k / 5 k/s = 60 s if you save 30% it's 18 s.
It's worth it - remember that most of the decompression should be able to be done while the pictures are beeing downloaded. So you save at least 15 s - its definitly worth it for modem users.
So you are saying that just because someone from their group killed some from your group - they may rot in prison ?
Does that also means that they have the right to let any US citizen rot in their prison because US miltary killed some of them ?
Tit for tat ?
What happend to innocent until proven guilty ? The fact are that many has been released without any trial and no charges has been brought against them. To me it indicates that the one who sent them to prison was severly mistaken.
Sorry, but your paraphrase of what your parent post are saying are misleading.
Any programmer who wants to use free software may do so - as long as the programmer creates free software. Whats so wrong about that ?
The problem I think arises in that in english the use of "free" are both used as "free" as in "not costing anything" and "free" as in "free speach". Note that "free speach" actually comes with the same caveat as "free software".
If you want "free speach" - you have to give all others "free speach" too.
If you want to use others "free software " - you have to give all others right to use your own "free software".
Most artists make the money on the road and the money they get from records are very small. For them the records are just ads for their shows. In most cases even if the sales doubles they will not make a single dime more from the record sales.
However you will find that in general so will the slashdot crowd mostly like things that enhance the freedom of expresssion and other human rights and dislike the things that supress them - just like the US constitution and the UN declaration of human rights.

No no just take a marker and write the code directly on the card - then you no longer have to worry to lose the post-it.
Well, since it happens in Windows why not blame it ?
They started the whole certification plague anyway.
Not at all, that is exactly the position that was voted into the directive by the EU parlament in the first sitting.
That was sadly reversed by the EU Commission in its second reading.
To copy text from one point to another
Substitute the text with some old text
Total 5+6 == 11 actions needed by the user
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
With X11 standard way moving text
With X11 substituting text the old-fashined way
Total 3+6 = 9 actions needed by the user. Which are less the 11 needed by Cntrl-C/Cntrl-V!
X11 has a better solution - windows are 22 % slower than X11. The most common operation - to move some text from one place to another are 66% slower in Windows than in X11!
Bad programmers dont update the comments - good programmers do.
Bad programmers dont write comments - good programmers do.
Copyright- which has protected programmers för over 50 years !
URLs are not case sensitive. So 30 is about right.
Maybe we should all switch to CMTP instead ?
C = complex - and anti-spammable!
Why mind boggling ?
They did spend a lot less on research and development so they could get a decent profit for 2004.
And look where it lead them!
When a serious bug is found that affects the whole design - the best solution is to do a redesign and rewrite.
Every expert programmer knows that. Those that write agile software are highly aware of that.
Sadly companies often wants to get a fast fix out and that fix very seldom are 100% correct.
So you find it right that you do 99% of the work and MS do 1% of the work and they take 100% of the profits from your joint work ?
So they must activily search it out to find the information...
A similar case was decided in swedish court and the defendant in that case was found not guilty.

This is easily fixed - just use a programmaing language that automagically return that memory.
Like java.

Not yet. But on writable CDs, DVDs and MP3-players.

It's the same thing.
Just wait until the new software patent directice from EU have been affirmed before saying that.
There are terrible forces at work to americanizise the EU patent system.

Nope - it is much more stringent than that.

Sorry, but newspapers exists to sell stories.
If they had to check facts it means that the
stories may not hold up.
If that happen - they dont have a story!
