Well the same kind of law has been on the books in Missouri has had a similiar law for probably at least 11 years, and it hasn't been thrown out yet. The interstate commerce clause does not apply as the Constitution say that states cannot treat interstate commerce differently from intrastate commerce. The internet sales taxes propose to treat internet sales exactly the same as mail order sales, and bricks and mortar sales. Folks here in Missouri have had to pay Missouri sales taxes on out-of-state purchases for, well at least 11 years when I bought a car in Kansas, and had to pay sales tax in Missouri to title/tag it.

And I paid sales tax in Missouri when I bought a computer from South Dakota in 1991 via mail order/1-800. I paid Missouri sales tax when I bought a car in Kansas in 1989 via bricks-and-mortar. *shrug* The law in Missouri, say that the resident is reponsible for paying sales tax on ALL purchases (regardless of method) upon which sales tax was not collect at the point of sale. This very same issue came up here when mail order catalog sales took off.

Maybe all this technology is still too young to be considered important in the history of the modern world...
Which is why someone ought to be collecting, gathering, collating, organizing, and storing it (the history). Witnesses to many of the important things that happened are still alive, and can be interviewed to find out not only the what, but also the how, and even the why.

Mainsoft does have information on their website about this. It appears to be somewhere in between Wine and porting the actual applications. They claim that they have written a library MainWin for Unix that permits an application to be moved from Windows to Unix with a recompile. They also claim that they have taken the original source for Freecell and recompiled it under Linux. The whitepaper is here.

Here in the Corporate Republic, there are no public institutions operating outside the marketplace any longer,...
Public institutions never were operating outside the marketplace. They have always had to compete with each other for limited resources. (researchers, funding grants, etc.)

Yes, I just looked at the NVIDIA_kernel.tar.gz piece, and the source is to OS/specific wrappers around the binary-only libraries used to build the kernel module. The NVIDIA_GLX.tar.gz piece doesn't have source either. Checking NVIDIA_GLX.src.rpm now.

I posted this yesterday. Basically, we should be avoiding LinuxOne because of the differences from RH, VA, etc. not because of the similarities of their S-1 filing. Hal Duston
Yes. I was rather amused when everyone was yelling about how their S-1 filing was almost the same as RH's, and that therefore the stock was no good. I think the real problem with the S-1 filing lies in the places where it is different. I.e. not only are they not making a profit, they don't have any revenue, or any expenses, or any debt. RH had plenty of those last three things which indicated to me that they were doing something. Hal Duston
Do you think that you should get rid of the sexual harassment laws? They cost companies money!
Of course not.
There should be some protection for employees. I'm not saying that they should rebuild the house. But they should maybe send out someone to check the ergonomics (maybe the same person who checks it in the office?).
The day my employer says "Ok, we need to come out and check your home-office.", is the day I find a new employer. Not that this would actually have happened, what they would have really said would be "Ok, all telecommuting privileges are hereby revoked, and all employees are required to be onsite."
To a certain degree I agree with you, probably we could get away with only re-testing the subsystem that was changed. I like P. J. Plauger's comments about testing in Chapter 0 of The Standard C Library. He basically says that the test code and the code being tested end up testing each other, and frequently need to be changed in unison. The testing code is closely tied to the tested code, and usually as complex. Each piece debugs the other. He is talking about the C library, which is rather modular in places and rather interdependent in others, so I guess that same applies to the kernel.
It would be good if a "success" result caused the test program to create the file success, so that one could run through, after a patch, and "merely" use make success to rerun failed tests.
One problem with this, is any change could break something that previously worked. After patching I believe that all tests would need to be re-tested
The military are the thugs who backup the politicians Well, it sure beats the politicians being forced to backup the military... Witness the Ivory Coast and Pakistan recently...
And I wasn't even trolling,... I was remarking on the fact that with all of my exposure to computers the first link my mind made was to a computer game and a computer language instead of a place and an event...go figure...
Yeah, but you only got three different kinds of moderation out of a total of 12 points. I on the other hand already have four different kinds of moderation out of a total of 4 points.

Well, the overhead is unnoticeable in my machine, a state-of-the art 486sx with 8Mb of ram... I would hardly call that 4 metric tons.
