If you read the site, someone had to 'convert' these programs.
"All I had to do was set some bits in the header to make it think it was a Windows 2.x executable, and then use an old copy of Borland Resource Workshop to convert the resources to Windows 3.0 format. Now the Windows 1.01 accessories run under Windows 9x or even Windows XP!"
If the professor cannot be bothered to impart the information in such a way as to make his students learn it as well as possible, then perhaps he should find another job. He is, after all, a teacher being paid to teach, not a wise man imparting his pearls of wisdom in the form of incomprehensible riddels out of the goodness of his heart.
Actually he's paid to do research and asked to teach on the side.
This is untrue. You are not allowed to sell GPL'd software unless all authors of the software are in agreement with the action. You may charge for the distribution of the software as long as the fee applies solely to the distribution . This is according to the license. As long as someone receives the software, they may request the source by which you, the author(s), must comply.
Just because you have to make the source available to anyone who receives the software and you can't limit their redistribution does not prevent you from selling GPL'd software without the authors consent.
> email was not designed for file transfer and probably will never be the best tool for that purpose.
But it's a pretty good tool for transfering small files. If you are worried about who he message comes from then only take attachments from cryptographically signed emails from senders you trust.
I looked through the discussion and i don't see any criticism of GNOME's techincal frame work, only user interface design decisions.
Dsepite the fact the GNOME is written in C and not C++ or one of those other fance languages it still:
*Uses an object system: the GObject System
*Is extendable for example VMWare has their libview and also has thing like gnome-vfs and themes with pluggable engines which you lumped with this category
No the hub really doesn't. If you are at princeton and try to connect to a computer at carnegie-mellon it will be automatically routed over internet 2. Actual file transfers are not routed through the hub. They go directly from peer to peer. The hub limited itself to internet 2 by only allowing ips provided by internet 2 schools.

WRONG... AAC is just as patented as MP3 and the AAC patents are newer.

You want Java-GNOME http://java-gnome.sourceforge.net/
As of Tue 15 of Jun, 2004 it was almost unusable. Now it works fine. Just make sure you build with high accuracy tremor or use libavcodec for vorbis.

Where do you teach? I need to make sure to never enroll there.

In math/engineering classes (or most of them) it is hard to take notes without a pen and paper(tablet) anyway.
Erm... LaTeX

Well then wouldn't it make more sense for them to invest more energy in cryptographic signing than a cat and mouse exe blocker.

Actually Macedonian and Greek were mutually intelligible (but had numerous differences). The Persians were the classic Barbarians.
Aren't CD's also digital music, not just that downloaded crap?
Evolution is a gnome app as of gnome 2.12
There are standard re-usable components, like a print dialog. The problem is that due to UI philosophy the standard print dialog sucks.

It doesn't matter where the hub is physically located the DirectConnect Protocol directly connects peers for the actual file transfers
> "AAC is not "closed" by any definition."
Some argue that a patent encumbered format can never be truely open (until the patens expire)
So how does Gorm differ from glade/libglade besides being for GnuSTEP instead of GNOME?
What does Dolby have to do with AAC?
I think not
Is it recommended that I upgrade OpenSSH to 4.2 on my OpenBSD 3.7 system?

Intel released its 500Mhz Processor in 1999. By the time longhorn comes out, it will be at least 7 years old.
Erm DIVX is an implementation of MPEG-4
