That's just fine... IF YOU USE WINDOWS!
Meanwhile, the rest of us have to sit here as Forte takes 10 MINUTES to load and another MINUTE to respond to menu selections, meanwhile eating 150 MB or so of swap space.:-(

The fact that merely linking your proprietary program against a GPLed (not LGPLed) library, EVEN DYNAMICALLY, is a violation of the GPL is lame. When are people (especially RMS) going to learn that ploys like this only hold back progress?
I find it highly unlikely that Sun will be out of business in a year. The reason is that Sun still exists primarily to sell hardware, as much as they would like you to believe otherwise.
Linux however, may just end up killing Solaris off, especially Solaris for x86. Sun's failure to release a beta of StarOffice 5.2 for Solaris/x86 may in fact indicate that they are already getting ready to EOL it.
It's a lot less likely that Solaris for SPARC will disappear, since you get it with every Sun box you buy. Also, Solaris is optimized for huge systems, something Linux has not yet proven itself in AFAIK (please correct me if I'm wrong -- but make sure you have a nice valid link!)
Anyway, I find it more likely that SGI or IBM will kill Sun off then Linux will.
I wouldn't bet on Microsoft going anywhere either. Unless the regular folks can be convinced in one year's time that nothing Microsoft makes is worth buying, Microsoft will still have a dependable stream of revenue in things like Windows Consumer, Office, and the Age of Empires series;-)
Even if that does happen, Microsoft _will_ do what it takes to survive.
Unless you count a breakup as "going out of business"... Even then, it's not likely the breakup will be completed within a year either.
Well, considering how brain-dead the Intel floating-point implementation is, it's a wonder anyone else managed to implement it at all, let alone faster than the people who invented it.
Anyway, the original poster is correct; Intel's hybrid stack/register-memory FPU architecture is a joke when compared to just about any other CPU (except X86 clones).</flamebait>
And 97 out of 100 don't need anything but a serial port you can attach a terminal to once in a while if/when something goes wrong nad it stops talking to the network.
As long as any GPL code is self-contained and (re)released under its own license, IT DOESN'T MATTER whether the GPL, APSL, BSD, or YAFSL are compatible!

Hey, at least one person would be happy if the current bear market causes a lasting slowdown in the economy... *cough* Mr. Greenspan *cough*

There are some N64 games, however, that just rock!
Name one.
See this for the REAL requirements.
Notice that you have to be able to MATHEMATICALLY PROVE your system specification is secure in order to be certified A1 secure. That's a pain.
Java needs the following features to satisfy me:
printf
Radix support for byte and short
A replace(string1, string2) method for strings
A windowing toolkit that doesn't eat all my swap space (unlike Swing)
That's just fine... IF YOU USE WINDOWS!

REAL old-school UNIX hackers don't use vi, they use ed. ed is the ORIGINAL, and still the standard, UNIX editor.
Compared to ed, vi is Office2000.

Agreed.
Not me. The only reason Tomb Raider has ANY fans is because of the way Lara is rendered. Wake me when a Gundam movie hits U.S. theaters.

Funny, I swear Linus pronounces it as "Lin-nucks" in the famous AU file.
So do the folks at CNBC.
Personaly, I feel more like this:
"How do you pronounce Linux?"
"Li-"
"IT DOESN'T MATTER how you pronounce LINUX!"
Demon Internet is the publisher of Usenet?
I guess the only thing Brits can get right is music.
Offtopic but hilarious.
So what?

And that's bad... why?
Unless there's a Mobile Suit Gundam Wing or Dragon Ball Z game for it.
