This is exactly the difference between the GPL and the LGPL, the latter allows linking against proprietary libraries and applications while requiring modifications to the library itself to be made available.
Wine is going to switch to an LGPL-style licence, not a GPL-style.
That was because Linus had been dropping Rik's patches for months. Take a look at the VM in the -ac series, or RedHat's 2.4.9 kernel for what Rik's VM really was capable of.
Not until 2.4.18-pre has the AA VM managed to pass RedHat's stress testing.
What's this mozilla patch everyone keeps talking about? I'm now running Galeon 1.0.2 (Mozilla 0.9.7) and gdkxft, and all web pages are rendered with anti-aliased text (for the fonts I have chosen to anti-alias).
My only annoyance is that the upper right arm of the letter `k' is very thin (the `x' is kinda thin all over, but that's not as annoying). This is with a 10t (12pixel) MS Verdana font.
[A] very minor color variation between the graphic and the background color of the table cells on either side of it.
It renders just fine here (Galeon 0.12.4, Mozilla 0.9.5). It looks like some gamma correction that's being done to the slant image but not the table backgrounds. I'm not sure where Mozilla gets that setting from, on Linux I'd guess it's from the imlib config, but it seems your'e running windows.
Not so. The FSF wants licenses that force all developers to always divulge all source code they write. This is very different from doing away with the idea of a license
That's just a temporary hack of the current system, employed while working for the ultimate goal: the abolishment of copyrights.
At least that's how I've understood it from the stuff at gnu.org
Well, you don't send the fingerprint over the wire, the fingerprint is required to unlock the secret key on the card for use, in stead of (or in addition to) a passphrase , so that the card can sign and encrypt data. The key itself never leaves the card.
Viruses planted in plug-ins would be too easy to implement and distribute.
Bullshit. The plugin version would (presumably, that's the general rule for kernel modules) have to match your kernel version, and you have to be root to load the modules, and I assume you'd have to explicitly enable the functionality of the plugin for individual filesystems.
So, if you run any untrusted code as root, let alone an untrusted kernel module, you deserve any shit that's going to hit the fan.
Actually, this has been relaxed a bit lately. You still have to be a registered corp/org, but you can have several domains (I can't find any limit in the current docs), and the domain names don't have to relate to the organization name.
Regarding por.no, it was reserved, together with a bunch of other names (such as city, county and other geographical names (which are used as third level domains, previously for businesses based in those areas, you had to have national presence to get an SLD). The reserved list shrunk significantly during the relaxation of the rules, ee the list
Just write a script that reads the ID3 tag of the mp3, decodes it (using sox, mpeg123 or whatever) and pipes it to oggenc with the appropriate parameters. Shouldn't be hard (I might just do that my self this week).
As a little experiment, I tried how long a file name could be on recent ReiserFS versions (ReiserFS 3.6.25 on kernel 2.4.0), and it turned out to be a whopping 4032 characters!
But, when I made two such directories inside each other and CDed into the last, the path returned by pwd got chopped to only the last directory, since paths can't be more than 4096 characters long, AFAIK.
Why on earth is the parent of my post offtopic? Au contraire, I'd say it's one of the most on-topic 8th posts I've ever seen.
The topic is that of ReiserFS finally being included in the official, stable kernel, and chrisdb is curious as to wether it is as stable as the rest of the kernel, or still marked experimental...

An RPM Port Of APT

If you dislike dselect, try aptitude, it's a mutt-like frontend to apt, really nice interface, although a bit buggy (occasionally segfaults, but usually just upon exiting, at least in unstable, don't know about stable)
Yes it is, it stands for GNU is Not Unix (try to write that without using an acronym, I dare you:)
Hurd by the way is a recursive acronym as well, a two-step such, standing for Hird of Unix-Replacing Daemons. Hird OTOH, stands for Hurd of Interfaces Representig Depth
Why then, are OpenGL and Direct3D two different APIs?
Because Microsoft didn't want to suppport SGI's (relatively) Open Graphics Library. Your paren poster's point is that OpenGL is a well-designed library that supports extensions, that hardware manufacturers can use to expose nifty features of their hardware to applications.
If Direct3D is just a wrapper for OpenGL, then everyone in the entire industry is stupid.
It's not a wrapper, it's the same hardware abstracted through two differnt software APIs, in order to support wider ranges of software/OSes. Whether the card makers choose to implement the one on top of the other or on top of some common lower level, is up to them (I'd assume the latter is more efficcent).
The article clearly states that "Bonobo is toolkit-independant." And, quoting from The Bonobo page at HelixCode:
Bonobo is a set of CORBA interfaces that define the interactions required for writing components and compound documents. These CORBA interfaces are not bound to GNOME, the X11 windowing system, or the UNIX system.
Also, from the article: "KPartsis dependant upon the QT toolkit."
So, by your definition (with which I agreee), KParts is badly designed.

Bzzt, wrong. It's trademarks you lose if you don't enforce them. Patents can be enforced as selectively as you care, likewise with copyright.
I see your Bullshit card and raise you a Google.
As for the second part, "sukkula" does indeed mean "shuttle" and "mato" (singular of "madot") means "worm".
"Debian GNU/Linux" can't declare anything, it's just a product. It's the Debian Project that can declare the GFDL non-DFSG-free.
That's just the source for the glue code. Take a look at what's in the pacakge, and you'll notice a large .o file... that's the meat of the driver.

Damn, I even previewed the comment! Of course I meant kbuild2.5, pronounced "kay-build two point five" (doh).
To pick a nit, CML2 is the new config language. The new build system is kubild2.5, developed by Keith Owens.
My only annoyance is that the upper right arm of the letter `k' is very thin (the `x' is kinda thin all over, but that's not as annoying). This is with a 10t (12pixel) MS Verdana font.

Actually, it's not every time it loads a page, but every time it loads a page with a textfield. That's bug 41813, and it's being worked on.
Don't you just love being able to see what the developers think of the bugs that annoy you? :)
