Razor? 'Lifestyle device'? Oh come on, It's a pretty phone but the software sucks bigtime. Sony-Ericsson runs circles around pretty much all motorola phones I tried.
>So yes, virginia; if Linus had never come along the GNU movement would have been just fine. oh yes, just fine, running on propitiate OS like Solaris and AIX. oh Hurd you say? still not finished.
yeah,there were used alot among unix peps, but linux brought it out to the people, I think there's a symbiotic relationship here, they both needed each other, on their own they would have been stillborn.
oh yes, I remember. the telegraph one of the tabloids anyway, going on about, 'why are we arresting the poor old pinochet - he might have had some issues at home, but after all, no britons where involved.' could not believe what I read.
Hurd was not usable, BSD was involved in a big court case (It'd all look different if that hadn't been the case). Minix was an educational system based on a microkernel, hence very pretty, but slow. Linux came out of an itch that needed to be scratched, Linus wanted a decent unix -like system running on a 386. Yes, without the GNU tools it wouldn't have happened, so much id definite true, so I think stallman deserves a slice of the cake.
hmm, I'm sure someone else must have writtend this and I'm sure I'm missing something. Why not just change the date on the shuttle to say, July or something? is there any need for them to be sycned to the actual current date?
actually china is on the side with the rest of the guys here, even if they play mediator. they currently got a neighbour that is higly unstable and now got nukes, all they want is to disarm the situation nad make everything nice and quiet. should they think of military intervention? think again, North Korea got an conventional army of around 1.4 million soldiers. diplomatic solution would be better, since the leaders of the country might play the power mad game, but they ain't stupid.
actually, the opposite is true. nukes used to be huge because the delivery system wasn't very accurate, hence they built huuge bombs so it wouldn't matter if the bomb missed by some kilometers. Latter bombs have a much improved delivery system and hence more accurate, allowing bombs to be smaller so you can do more 'precision' bombing.
Hear, hear, as they say, if it aint broke, don't fix it. (I do have a nagging feeling that there might be some individuals who might disagree with me regarding the 'ain't broke' bit!;-) But you're right, no point in upgrading unless there's a compelling reason to do so, and XP is pretty much 'good enough' for most users - provided it's run in a responsible manner.
Well, you can use SharpDevelop to program c# apps in, worked quite well when i did it a few years ago, sure it's better now. You also got MS Visual studio Express, which is free to play with. and actually, building.net apps from the command line is no harder than building java apps from the command line, preetty much the same tools are there (even if.net is still lagging a bit), where java use ant (like make but nicer), does.net use nant, etc, etc. I'm MS fan boy, but.net is actually a nice thing, guess that's why mono picked up on it. gonna be interesting now when (if?) java goes open source and see what happens!
indeedm if there ever was a IDE that made me go 'pwoarrr!' that's intelliJ, sadly I'm now all in c# world, but not all it lost, resharper# (by the very same company who makes intelliJ) is there to help - a bit at least

That would be random weather, not chaotic weather, which is a quite different beast.
I'll think you should watch it more as a PDA replacement than an ipod replacement. Having said that, might be nice to be able to slam some tunes on the phone every now and then. Mind you, wouldn't go for nokia but rather Sony-Ericsson P990.
um, COW is a very proven concept. maybe there are better ways, and yeah, of course we should try to find better ways, but COW is still a solid idea. and that's not only my opinion.

indeed, but ask RMS how much he likes the BSD licence

how about the sun heating things up - quite a bit?
hear, hear, for example, durnig the cuba missile crisis you showed great restraint (so did soviet I suppose), very close, but you made it

Well, it bloody should!!
Do you still have to run the automatix script in order to getr all the media codecs, etc?
I'll think you should watch it more as a PDA replacement than an ipod replacement. Having said that, might be nice to be able to slam some tunes on the phone every now and then. Mind you, wouldn't go for nokia but rather Sony-Ericsson P990.
yes noticed that later.
sorry, my mistake, that'll teach me for not rtfa!

google for automatix, should install all that stuff for you automagically
They put us up the bomb?
well, if they just aimed a little bit more right into the moon, they'd have no problem stopping whatsoever whatever speed they'd had...
