> I am sure that KDE 3 and KDE 2 can be installed in parallel
Unfortunately that is not quite true. The format of the config files has changed between KDE2 and KDE3. Other than that, yes you can install them in parallel (but I doubt the usefullness).
Trust me, I know what I am talking about, since I develop for KDE.
Assuming that somebody wrote the original GPL code and it is the best code for the job, how about just contacting the author and negotiating a special license? Afterall, the author is (even in the case of GPL'd code) still the copyright owner.
Listen to yourself: it takes 5 seconds and uses only 20meg...
5 seconds for opening a window is at least 25 times too slow. And for the memory, don't even get me started.
I am not saying that other programs don't equally suck, but we should be straight on one thing: if the window doesn't open within 0.2 seconds it is too slow (independent of how much work it has to do).
Just a quick comment: MS did in fact copy the right mouse button context menus. OS/2 2.0 (actually the WPS) had them in 1992 and I am sure others had them too. Credit goes to MS for bringing context menus to the masses, though.
No it doesn't. But that part wis also forbidden by the Subscriber Agreement (it says...OR AS AN END-POINT ON A NON-COMCAST LOCAL AREA NETWORK OR WIDE AREA NETWORK).
So the agreement essentially says: you may not put a LAN or a WAN at the end of your line and you may not join another LAN or WAN via an encrypted channel. Kind of interesting...
Actually I have made a little observation using Mozilla: go to NYTimes and try to get to an article and once the login screen comes just hit reload... I have a hard time believing that it is so simple but it works here....
And yet another correction: the rate is the other way around (trust me, I am a German living in the US who still has a German credit card). And the most recent exchange rate is 1.863 DM for 1 US Dollar. Thus your total would $19.32.
Let me just say that we are using it here and it really works well. Users can just print to a special printer and after one second (or so) respond comes up and asks for the phone number and some other information. Very easy to set up too.
Well, the Sony Vaio 505TS sells for about $1800 in the same configuration. So that makes an extra $500 for a preconfigured Linux installation. I think that cannot be explained with high volumes or anything; it is just expensive.
So if you (and possibly others) think that's worth the price difference I should consider getting into computer retail...

There are two differernt issues in the text: 5000 PCs in the parliament and then the total amount of money the _whole_ federal government could save.

Because the earlier 2.4 kernels would swap (forever) even on that kind of machine...

Try "ps -auxww" and have fun...

Yeah, whatever. I'm glad you are not building nuclear power plants...
Later, Jens.

Besides saying me too I also have an URL for respond (the page also has some docs):

And it it is very cost effective
