Well, they can't really count since the Taliban don't control Afghanistan any more. Now it's under the control of America (although indirectly). Not to make this any more politically charged or anything, just had to be said.
As far as I'm concerned, these are two bad things fighting it out. I say, to hell with American business, and to hell with viral, un-free (I don't care what The Party has to say about that) licenses. The only reason I'd want the GPL to come out on top is because too much open source software uses it.
But I am in agreement that the BSD license, and the licenses like it, are safer and superior to the GPL.
For most if not all web-based project management software you need to be able to tamper with things you don't have access to unless you own the machine. I'd love to know if there's anything a simple user could put up that doesn't require playing with httpd.conf and so on.
From what I can tell from the requirements page for TUTOS, all you really need is Apache (no minimum version specified), PHP (4.0.6 or newer), and one of {PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, Borland Interbase 5}. There's probably no major issues involved in getting it running on Windows.
And work from there. It doesn't nessesarily have to be game related, RPGdev will be using XPCOM and other Moz tech. That is, when I can get back to dealing with RPGdev.
Making money is all a matter of licenses -- if you create the engine as MPL'd software, then you can later on use the engine in a closed-source game for the shelves.
I like geek girls. I fall for geek girls. I'd enjoy having a girlfriend/wife who understands what I'm blabbing on about, instead of one that just stares at me when I talk about work.
Variety can be found in other things that you deal with every day.
I pay $3 per CDR that friends burn for me. Of course, it's different if you're paying a friend, since that's just money through the same hands, but still, it's money.
I'm organizing that party! However, I'd rather have someone else deal with organizing an managing it, especially after being staff for Canada's #1 anime con, Anime North.
It's an open invitation, just show up at Vinnie's (22 Duncan St.) in Toronto on the Saturday after release and follow the noise. I'd like to have a banner to hang, and Moz1.0 CDs to hand out.
Make them use Windoze for a week or two, all the while passing all relevant details of their machines to every cracker you know. They'll be begging you to never let them use root again.:)
Seriously though, a lot of the time when I'm running Linux, I'm in both using my normal account and my root account (though root is on a console and just running top). If there's danger even in that (other than killing the wrong processes), I'd love to hear about them -- better safe than sorry!
The next two deaths came four days apart in December. Robert Schwartz, 57, was stabbed and slashed with what police believe was a sword in his farmhouse in Leesberg, Va. His daughter, who identifies herself as a pagan high priestess, and several of her fellow pagans have been charged.
4. Dec. 10, 2001:
Robert M. Schwartz was stabbed to death in Leesberg, Va. Three Satanists have been arrested.
Obviously the writer of the article is some right-wing Christian fundamentalist idiot. Everyone knows (except for the religious crazies) that Satanists are not pagans.

To build a spacecraft to go to Mars and back would require an incredible amount of resources. Abandoning it (or in the interests of safety, they'd probably skuttle it) would waste all those resources, especially considering that the craft could probably recieve a tune-up and be reused for further manned missions.
While I highly doubt that there's anything on Mars that would require decontamination, I've heard (from the usual suspects, and the peanut gallery) that there might be such things. Why not have some souped up lunar lander type craft to go between the larger vessel leading to Mars and the planet itself? It should cost quite a bit less, and would be easier on the chequebooks to abandon and destroy.
Oh, and not only would the abandoning and destruction of the vessel be a waste of money, but also of resources that could be reused planetside. Of course, if we harvest the Martian surface, then we don't have to worry too much about any iron shortages.
Reading the various documents by Stallman, I've come to the conclusion that he's every bit as delusional as Gates. To Gates' tinpot dictator, RMS makes a great Marxist revolutionary, but his tactics are flawed by petty things like the GPL.
It is perhaps best for the Open Source Revolution (if it still is a revolution) that both Microsoft (with Bill Gates) and the FSF (with Stallman) go away and never return.
The gas fitters codebook or something like that was similar about ten years ago here in Ontario. My father used to be a gas fitter (or whatever the proper name is) a while back. So yeah, book upgrades aren't exactly new...
Is there anything really special about this one other than you get it first in electron form and later in dead-tree?
That's right, a petition to Cast Steve "Crocodile Hunter" Irwin in Star Wars ep. 3! Combining the coolness of Star Wars with the great character that is everyone's favorite Australian. Sign the petition and let George Lucas know who you want to see in the final Star Wars Prequel!
Someone, or many someones (perhaps a campaign or something) should call the BSA hotline (1-888-NO PIRACY) claiming that the BSA themselves use unlicensed software. This of course is a lost call for them, and enough at the same time would be about the same as a DoS attack, wouldn't it?
I'd bet that it would certainly piss them off enough to track people down, so if you do this, make sure that it's from a payphone and that you're wearing gloves. Heh.
I see nothing in regards to having offensive materials, just child pr0n. Still, I'll bet it's in there somewhere.
So messed up. This continent is run by the bloody P.C. thugs, and there's nothing we can do about it. Perhaps those crazed terrorists should just blow the whole mess up. The rest of the world would be better off without North America anyways.
At the O'Reilly Developer Conference last year on a panel with Michael Tiemann, Tim O'Reilly, and others, Craig Mundie, Microsoft's CTO of Advanced Strategies and Policy, said (I am paraphrasing): "The thing Microsoft does not like about the GPL is that it creates a closed community." Yes, he actually said this, and while the entire audience sat stunned and struggling for oxygen, I remember Tim O'Reilly did not miss a beat, responding with "But so does Microsoft!"
If I were there, I would have been struggling not to laugh so loud as to disrupt everything in a 3Km radius. GPL does not a closed community make.
Just thinking about that makes me chuckle. What does Mundie smoke?:)

I've been waiting four years now for an internet enabled coffee brewer that uses RFC 2324, Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol!
I guess now we'll realize that their patent system is just as screwed up as America's, but the hard way. :P

Crazy damn science. I guess this blows my FTL travel theory away, not that this is going to stop me from using it in my stories.
Now gravity is caused by particles? I thought it was the deformation of space by large masses that caused it (or something along those lines).
How the hell does one do that? From what I understand you can't block gravity like you can block the wind, you need to actively repel against gravity.
Silly silly silly...

mikep would have you know that there's an Ottawa party, but I think as organizer of the Toronto party, I won't let you know that.

The GNU General Public License, to put it in one word, sucks. Much better licenses exist, ranging from the Mozilla Public License to the University of Illinois/NCSA Open Source License. Because of Stallman's inane "demand" (we'll call it) to use nothing but the GPL, or to assign all IP rights to his Free Software Foundation, he scares away many of those thinking that open source might be the solution they're looking for.

I heard that there's no sparse matrix (or any sort of matrix) container in the STL. Where would one go for that?
