Ok, please find me a 9-10" Android tablet with 2 Gb RAM, 32 Gb storage and more importantly 2048Ã--1536 px (or better) for less than 349.90 CHF (which is what I paid for my iPad 2017), that can run Android 8 now and will receive security updates (at least) in the next 2 years.
Indeed I would prefer to develop for Android, which is more open than iOS (no 99 USD annual fee, no need to have access to a computer running Mac OS X)...
No, this must not be that book, since I don't remember about a superbomb exploding over a city or a giant Moon.
World at the End of Time is nicely summarized here.
How do you handle the approach though? Indeed, most of the time, she will be busy reading, doing homework or browsing the shelves.
To stay on topic though, the University of Leeds was the last place where I spent a lot of time at the library (Peopleware, Code Complete, The Limits to Growth [2nd ed], The World at the End of Time...). That was in 2000. I've been ordering books from Amazon ever since, since the books I now read cannot usually be found in local libraries or bookstores (I live in France/Switzerland).
Your comment makes sense. About Id Software though, they have an history of open sourcing game engines after a few years (Quake II for instance), so if I was more interested in first person shooters, I'd gladly support them.
For your information, CM Synergy (was Continuus) 6.2 does run on Redhat Linux 7.2 (client and server), although I've not tested it. Like you, I prefer Perforce to CM Synergy though, I've used both (especially CM Synergy) and I've found Perforce much more intuitive/logical (and easier to install).
Well Microsoft will only "kill" OpenGL if the whole world legitimates software patents, i.e. patents on algorithms.
If we software users and developers oppose them everywhere, including in the universities/companies we study/work in, they won't be valid everywhere.
This said, they represent one of the main two threats to Free Software, the other being mandatory handcuffware ("Digital Restrictions Management" software).
Skiping commercials is theft? Then what about hitting mute? What about going to the bathroom? What about talking loudly to your loved ones during commercial? Gonna send us to jail for that?
This looks a lot like Captive Audience, a novella written in 1953 (!) by Ann Warren Griffith.
Besides, the machines at my work don't have good enough graphics cards to play anything interesting anyway.
There are some very interesting text games like Nethack and GnuGo. Both are free and run on several platforms. And without graphics you're less likely to get caught;)
Call me a Free Software bigot if you want but the non-free (as in speech) status of MacOS X is a good enough reason for me not to install it. And some others probably dismiss it for the same reason.
Otherwise I have nothing against MacOS technically.
To sum up, he says that you can't have both privacy and accountability (security). What matters is who controls the information: the govt (in that case, it's a lot like Big Brother), or everybody. Read this carefully:
Yeah that's what I meant. The problem IMHO with Perl is that you can pass arrays (or hashes) either by value (like in Perl 4 or before), or by reference (which were introduced in Perl 5 to support nested datatypes like lists of lists... and objects, right ?).
I do think the most natural way to pass an array as a function argument is by reference (like C, Java, Pike and Ruby do), but Perl wasn't originally designed this way, therefore when references were added later on, they looked pretty strange. Whereas Ruby was designed after Perl, so could get rid of many Perl design mistakes while keeping most of its expressiveness (like its regexp notation, next if , and so on).
I believe it combines the expressiveness of Perl with the clarity of Python.
Ruby is easier to read than Perl because it has been designed as an OOP language from the grounds-up. You also won't see stuff like @{$foo->['bar']} (is that right ?) but instead Ruby uses simple naming conventions to denote the scope of variables. Examples: simple 'var' = local variable, '@var' = instance variable, '$var' = global variable.
And I prefer Ruby to Python because Ruby has assignment syntax sugar such as +=, -=, etc. and all data (including Integer, String, List, etc.) in Ruby are class instances.
Could you explain what you mean by work ethic ? My opinion is that work in the current sense of the term should be reduced as much as possible (while equally shared). We only have one life, why spend most of our awaken hours of most of our days between 20 and 65 at doing more often than not useless (for people) work ?
I must say I don't understand all this fuss on computer viruses... I have run a Windows box without any virus protection for many months, it was on the Internet most of the day, and I never had any problems with viruses. I do believe it's mostly a matter of only downloading software from trustable locations, and not running any executable sent by email or DCC GET from someone you don't know or don't trust to be careful enough.
Of course, these principles also apply for any operating systems, including AmigaOS (where I actually got viruses from pirated floppies) and Linux.
Slashdot Mirror
Forgot that Slashdot still doesn't support Unicode. I meant 2048x1536 px or better.

Note that the core library is still in C though.

Been there, done that. Also installed other GNU stuff like bash, coreutils, findutils, grep, make... "./configure --prefix=$HOME" definitely helps...
Try heroes (screenshot). The resolution sucks (320x200 - I run it like this: heroes -F -J -2 -i), but it's lots of fun in 2-player.
Does accelerated 2D/3D for ATI Radeon 9xxx cards (for instance: 9200) work out of the box on SuSE 9.1 ?
62hrs also include the time taken to commute, to eat, to bathe, to fill the fridge, and so on ;)
This is discussed in the GNU/Linux FAQ.
Your comment makes sense. About Id Software though, they have an history of open sourcing game engines after a few years (Quake II for instance), so if I was more interested in first person shooters, I'd gladly support them.
If I understood the article, the drivers aren't going to be Open Source / Free Software. So I don't see why I would support them...

Have a look at Frozen Bubble then.

It's 35 hours / week in France (not for everybody though). We have also five (paid) weeks of annual leave.
