Yeah, if only stupid Mozilla foundation wouldn't have gotten rid of native MNG format then we would have JNG (which is JPEG that supports an alpha channel) also.
He said live distribution, as in: on the thumb drive. Additionally, thumb drives are very easy to keep up with. Tell them to attach it to their key chain. It won't go anywhere then.
So everybody is mad because Sony includes some automatically installed software that automatically runs software on the CD??? Why are you people mad at sony but not at Microsft. Microsoft is the dipshit that make their OS automatically run any piece of software that the CD designer wants. Here is a simple way to spread a virus on Windows: 1) Create an 'autorun.inf' file, and find or program the virus/trojan that you want 2) Burn them, and some porn to a couple hundred CDs 3) Label the CDs 'Free Porn' 4) Place the CDs outside of a Wal-Mart with a sign that says 'Free! Take One.' 5) Profit
Then you guys are dealing with the wrong company. Its your companies fault for not making 'returning source code changes' a precondition to letting them develop for you.
Could you ask the Horde developers to create an area describing how to install the entire Horde system (with all modules as optional steps) in a step-by-step fashion. Its just so modular, I don't know what to do, and when.
Well, giving them access to free software, giving them access to technology, giving them access to outside ideas. Yeah, I think that would benefit them greatly. They need some kind of sustainable life, and turning them into an American sponsored wellfare state is not going to do this. They are going to have to learn to do this themselves, and maybe exposure to more outside ideas might actually get them thinking on how to solve things for themselves.
You're right! Christianity in its literal form is ignorance. Therefore, you should celebrate your cultures dissidence by presenting one side to every equation. Program your children, don't let them decide on their own. After all, you were involved first hand with the research which disproved it. Religion = belief system. Your religion is the observation of propagated theories by presumed trusted sources. Yet, you still follow blindly.
Well, openness can be contested by the fact that they require you to license any software that you make, using their documentation, under their license, and state that the program includes patents from Microsoft, and forces you to provide a link to Microsoft's stance on the patents supposedly perpetually granted on their website. Which they could change at any time. Just reading through those overview documents, the spec provides space for custom XML, OLE objects, and such. Depending on how Microsoft makes their save routine these documents readability completely depends on Microsoft's whim. Have you read the specs yet? See any room for Microsoft to nudge in proprietary/non-portable features? XML is just a serialization method. Openness is based purely on cross-party talks and actual reference implementations, that can't change on a whim. Just my opinnion.
No, you didn't miss it. Why the hell would any software automatically update to BETA level software. But in a month or two it will be released and then it will automatically update to 1.5. In the mean time they are still doing bug fixes to the current stable. This one is not particularly bad, so I don't know if they will try to address it.
GPL is forced collaboration. It discourages that which, in the general case, has not been an option to begin with, such as taking someone elses work and making it proprietary, but thats it.
To tell you the truth. I much prefer Firebird. All I did with Postgres was read their gigantic manual, before realizing that a lot of Firebird was way ahead of the curve. Man that thing practically runs itself. I have about 3 servers running for years, and I've never had as much as a hiccup with it.
All I know is when I was writing some code for an Apache project, they would not let me use any GPL'd libraries because you can't have anything under the BSD license (and therefore the Apache license) that uses GPL'd libraries directly. Obviously, you could create a plugin API of sorts and skirt the issue a little. But you couldn't make the GPL'd library some kind of official component. Hence, my BSD code cannot use GPL code. I was saying GPL can use BSD, because of my awareness of the "upgrade" issue.

Thats because your Ubuntu is the previous version. You need to dist-upgrade. OOo2.0 is in the repositories for the new version of Ubuntu.
If you want to use AJAX really easily in PHP or PERL (there are others but I'm too lazy to go back to my link), then just use SAJAX. Very simple.

Thats right, you don't even need the '????' step.

Nice sig. Another fun one for when you are bored and near a Wal-Mart computer is (if I remember correctly, I haven't used Windows in about 2 years):
/REALTIME thisfile.bat 1%1
REM Start of thisfile.bat
start "1%1"
call thisfile.bat %1
REM End of thisfile.bat
Has anybody checked out the open source BRL-CAD before? Apparently its pretty mature, and the military uses it.
My thoughts exactly.
I don't even understand how this is any different than what Windows already does. Its just autorun all over again.
There is no way it gets anywhere near the quality of even a disposable film camera.
Man, I just figured that they would cripple it to do stupid stuff like the CSS rendering in IE.
I agree. If you want to sort just key off of:
YYYYMMddhhmmss
or more legibly
YYYY-MM-dd hh:mm:ss
Either of those ways will sort real perty like.

Well native SVG support is in 1.5. Firefox 1.5 final is scheduled for delivery before the end of the year.

No more likely than not, they will declare an extra XML namespace to define their own embraced and extended version.

Not many people. But yes the XMLHTTPRequest object has been around for quite a while now.
