QT and Gnome used to be good on 'themes' but they were dropped a while ago, and are just being picked up again.
What needs so happen is something like CSS for the desktop, seperation of layout and content so that the applications I'm running are all in my style, not in windows style, or QT style or Gtk style. Then when the support guy comes along he just downloads his CSS and XML file with bookmarks etc for the Application menus, personal settings etc.. and everything works just like it does in the office.
Gnome and QT (and windows) support styles, but the problem is you have to write a new style for each. (well except someone's wrapped up QT in a GTK style)...
That's rubbish, what you include in the work you produce makes every difference when it comes to copyright.
If I include 'nothing' that is copyrightable by the original author then I don't have to bow down to the copyright requirements aka GPL.
'If what you say is true, I could just produce diffs for a work of literature and argue that I wasn't actually modifying the work',
Yes, so long as you don't include anything that is in the original work..
just like I can write dummies guide to Linux and not have to release it under GPL, or is my 'dummies guide' also a derived work?
Your getting confused between static, aka distributing someone elses work as well as your own, and dynamic distributing only your work.
Interfaces are facts and not copyrightable (only the presentation of the facts is), thats why I can write an application against ATI's OpenGL driver but the user can be using Mesa and my application doesn't have to pay up to either.
except that you can dynamically link to the same effect.
LGPL is only makes a difference for statically linked code. The GPL relies on copyright, so doesn't cover works that are 100% the original authors, like dynamically linked code.
Are more DRM hell. What needs to happen is that you need to write to your local representative and tell them how DRM is removing your right to first sale.
This is a good example of how DRM is trashing your rights.
This is especially true in the EU where a contract is something that two 'people' have agreed.
There are cooling down periods, the contract must obey the law, so they can't get rid of your first sale right, and above all it is something 'agreed', if the signer of the contract didn't know what they were signing then it's isn't valid, if there's a dispute in the wording then it should be in favour of the signer.
Secondly, EULA's are lip service. I'm sure that who ever you purchased the game off of didn't read the EULA sign a contract when they purchased it.
If Blizzard are claiming that the 'activation' key is a good then showing them the sales receipt should be enough to transfer it into your name.
Manufacturers aren't going to write drivers against a moving target.
Putting inplace a good solid road-map and feature plan will help boost the confidence of the manufacturers in Linux and X windows.
Why waste time and money developing drivers for X windows when the applications are going to be 'slow' anyway.
Composite and Damage help quite a bit by providing more modern clipping, getting with of CPU or pixel map generated widgets and replacing them with shaders will give another significant performance and footprint boost as well as something for manufacturers to develop drivers for.
If were really lucky QT and GTK will be forced through the same widget layout code so that you get the same layout regardless of toolkit.

If the war in Iraq didn't teach you that the government doesn't have uberalien teck then nothing will.
Is there a special place that the Government takes all the Genius children so that they can work behind the close Iron curtains on Government alien teck.
Wake up, smell the roses, The government really is run by a bunch of stupid religious right wingers.
Hasn't she given me legal advise (all be it incorrect). and isn't that against the law in the USA if you haven't taken the passed the bar.
How do I know she must be wrong... well these two sentences contradict each other... "When people upload or download others' copyrighted works, that is, in fact, illegal." "There is nothing illegal about P2P technologies, if you're sharing work that you have the rights to share. "
While Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks allow for a great deal of opportunity for distribution of entertainment, P2P networks unfortunately enable massive amounts of pirate activity.
When people upload or download others' copyrighted works, that is, in fact, illegal. There is nothing illegal about P2P technologies, if you're sharing work that you have the rights to share. But, most commercial works you find available on P2P networks (e.g., albums you find in stores, movies you find in theatres or stores) were not posted there legally.
It is only this illegal activity that the MPAA is fighting against. We will continue to embrace technology and the opportunities it offers responsible citizens using it legally.
Thanks again for writing, and please let me know if you have additional questions.
None of the libries listed would have been shipped with win95, and they don't come as part of DirectX. They are no more 'standard playback libraies' any more than winamp is, (and I'm sure some application depend on winamp).
Most audio applications will work without the files, some script kiddie company may have written an application that uses them in vb.net, just like some script kiddie may have used the embedded IE component.

Well, it doesn't have to be money, but under a capitalist system that's what seems to work the best.
I would have no objection to receiving any of the following. A new PC. or just some more HDD space or ram. or a jar of coffee (decaff) or my windows cleaned. or free rent of a room in your house for a week. or food or some cash. or absolutely nothing.
If you pick the last option I may not be able to continue my services for long because, although I am quite happy with absolutely nothing it doesn't get me very far in a capitalist world.
For the cost of absolutely nothing you can have, amongst other things directx 9 on wine, this version costs 100% less than the Transgaming version.
I think 1 child is good, if you have two+ then you should pay more tax except under exceptional circumstances like twins or the 1% of the time that the pill doesn't work. if you have none then you should pay less tax (education, health care etc..)
its caused by greed, nope too many people. If there were only two people in the world you could be as greedy as you like and I would still have food.
its caused by ignorance. of that fact that if you and you partner have 3 children then who the fucks going to feed them, that's one more mouth to feed.
its cause by bad education. Too much education, if we all died off at an early age like we used to there wouldn't be so many people.
its caused by capitalism. nope too many people, how exactly is capatilism making people starve? take out capitilism from the starving and what have you got left? too many people.
its caused by war. Well, sort of, war does reduce the population so there should be more food to go around afterwards.
its cause by land mines. don't blame world hunger on inanimate objects.
if u can genetically engineer humans that are impotent, then you would stop world hunger a lot faster.
Though I do agree that other factors play a small part, but you could even argue that, greed, ignorance, bad education, capitalism, war and land mines were caused by too many people.
Why not bake some lime and turn it into cement then cement over the entire fucking world, and don't sue me when you fall over and break you hip because cement is harder than grass.
I can do this for you today without Monsanto or GM. If you pay me an extra $10 then I'll even throw in a bucket of green paint so you can pretend it's just like nature.

What a pile of shit.
/. now have to bow down to the copyright of Websters.. NO.
GPL is copyright, fuck what it says about 'derivative work', so long as my work contains nothing that is copyrightable they can't do anything.
Lets say I dynamical link against ATI's openGL library, and then someone loads my code using MESA, does it then become GPL?
As an example here is a link. Does

Dear Oliver,
Thanks for your e-mail.
While Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks allow for a great deal of opportunity
for distribution of entertainment, P2P networks unfortunately enable
massive amounts of pirate activity.
When people upload or download others' copyrighted works, that is, in
fact, illegal. There is nothing illegal about P2P technologies, if
you're sharing work that you have the rights to share. But, most
commercial works you find available on P2P networks (e.g., albums you
find in stores, movies you find in theatres or stores) were not posted
there legally.
It is only this illegal activity that the MPAA is fighting against. We
will continue to embrace technology and the opportunities it offers
responsible citizens using it legally.
Thanks again for writing, and please let me know if you have additional
questions.
