Well, the main question now isn't if ppl should be compensated or not. It is about if we should be allowed to use GPL'ed software to create closed code. Looks like MS want to stop GPL'ed software to get into the business world.... me thinks they're scared;-)
well, then you move it by hand after installation... oh, and you better have some backup of those older/newer versions of the dlls that the installation program, so you can restore them after the install.exe done it's mayhem;-). bit of tinkering, but it works....
Not claiming that this is the optimal way of doing things, mind you...
Hey, looks like Mr Bush JR created some sparks back home in Sweden!!:-D
Windows: No easy solution available, you can't have two versions of DLLs at the same time. If the new version breaks something, too bad.
Sure you can! just put the dll in the same dir as the app, when looking for libs, windows always look in the dir of the app first, then in the path
Isn't french Ariane private? Also heard about this project about launching rockets from an oil platform placed exactly on the equator - believe it was private as well...
mind you, might be wrong
I think you got a point there. People do not want to *relearn* their 'hard-earned' computer knowledge... Too much stuff works different in Linux than WIn. And people in general try to avoid effort. If they can buy a lwindow system that does whet they want browsing/email/somewordprccessing, good enoiugh, then tyhey go for that. In that way is KDEs and Gnome's 'Windowfication' good, it might get close enough to the Windows paradigm in order to get people over. But rather than doing that might be to go for the New Generations of Computer Users, which don't know about win and will, reversly, very hard for the windows camp to get over. Because these people are used to the Linux way!
Well, in an ideal world you could count on your neighbourgh recognizing that you only had one cup left and went out and bought sugar him/herself alt. borrowed the cup but made sure that he/she bought new sugar until you came home...
That's how I and our flatmates work basically.
We share milk, butter, etc.. The basic stuff, but in the backof your head you know if it's your milk or not... if it's not yours you go and buy more milk if oyu use all of the other ppl's milk
Not too sure.. Easy to say if you got nothing to loose. Not ALL people on the can afford to display their identity - mind you, some of them might actually loose their life because of it... Sure, the signal to noise ratio would undoubtly rise if ACs were removed, but I rather take the low S to N than remove the anonymity...
just my 0.02p
Just wait until Rambus sues us all for patent infringment......
Seriosly, cna't remember, but think I read somewhere that all the input a human takes in during her lifetime is about 20- 40 GB or am I completely out of track here? Basically our brain dumps most of te input and just generalize after models, like when we see a human, we already know it got 2 arms, 2 legs
face, etc, etc...We know the normal behaiour, etc.. that's why people in really streesed or out-of-order situation can have a hard time rmembering what actually happened. Saw a program about the brain and there took a bank robbery as an example. People couldn't tell who's been waiving a gun or how many ppl who did that. cause that's not part of our model of everyday life. So the brain actually has to try to keep up realtime with what's happening, which it apparently do quite poorly...
Anyone who know more...
umm, sorry, this is going *way* offtopic!!!
OSrry moderators! *smile*
mind you, it's not software installation.. It's (ummm) AI!!! *Learning software*!!! wow!
Also, after the boot, you rarely find a need to reboot, only when there's a hardware failure. Remarkable stable, no reboots, just sleep!
mind you, it doesn't do well to leave it switched of too long in case of a crash.. reboot will be needed as soon as possible (approx. 5 min. longer if cooled down), otherwise refusal to reboot or data corruption might occur...
Hmmm, I though sushi was quite healthy actually,I've been told that you should freeze the fish for 1 - 2 days b4 eating it in order to kill off some possible parasite/germ/something, after that it should be no trouble eating it...
Heard though that the s. koreans got one of the highest rate of stomach cancer because of their habit of eating kim-shi (sort of pickled cabbage) al the time... THing is, I understands them.... it's food of the gods!!;-)
Maybe I'd be more incliended to listen to you if your spelling wasn't that shitty... It's still in development, dammit! If you think you can do better, go and help them instead.

sorry used all my points today... :-(
5 points not enough in order to promote the good posts and bash the silly ones
hmmm, you might have a point there....

TCP/IP is under the BSD licence. which isn't 'viral' (ugh) in the way MS means....
The GPL allows GPL'ed apps to use non-GPL'ed libs, IIRC...
last time I saw them was 1988....
Everyone will suffer, but the lawyers... hmmm, *must* be hell!!!
ouch!!

So basically the Human Genome Project is just one big show of reverse engineering? ISn't that against the law in the US????
;-)
tada

"If PacMan had affected us as kids we'd be running around in dark rooms, munching pills and listening to electronic music"
;-) jsut take s couple of year for them ti sink in so to say....
...and see! Video games DO affect kids!!!
wont be long until we see wordpurrfect on ebay...
How on earth could I do that? I don't buy their products in the first place!

true, unfortuantelly I got a bad habit of biting too often when it comes to trolls.. oh well ;-)

It is wicked food though
Well, Hurd, which is GPL *really!*, is a microkernel.
monolithic kernels are good for speed (but, well, bad for maintainability)
The Powerpoint presentation!! You forgot the Powerpoint presentation!!!

Nah, wasn't that one but it'd do ;-). Quite nice to use the features in one MS product to get around their copyright!! :-D
