There's nothing wrong with ActiveState, except that they lag behind the main *nix releases
This is FUD. The standard release at times is far behind ActivePerl in providing bug fixes.
The patches that made ActivePerl 635 were basically released as Perl 5.6.2 (with some portability fixes) almost a year after ActivePerl 635 was released.
Here is a link to a p5p BOF about 5.6.2. I'll quote the interesting part:
A lot of bugs in 5.6.X are fixed in the ActiveState release and not
in the general release. This needs to be fixed.
I powered down and removed the IDE ribbon cable from one of the mirrored drives and then powered up. Same approach as above. Stupid BIOS says that one of the drives is down and hangs until I tell it to come up anyway. Bzzt. Way wrong answer.
You disconnected a drive, the BIOS said a drive was down and waited for manual intervention. Sounds similar to how fsck works when it runs after a power failure and finds disk errors? It waits!
What should it have done? The reason linux can boot up it situations like that with the software RAID is because it isn't real RAID. You are mirroring the disk through software -- that isn't RAID.
Because it means that you are allowed to control what is displayed on your own computer.
Haha! You got hoodwinked! You'll always have control about what is displayed on your computer.
The real item here is that this judgement seems to confirm that the parasitic business model of companies like Gator is legal and acceptable. That my friend, sucks.
This is why the rest of the world hates the US. Bogus court decisions like this, and then pressuring other countries to follow suit. The US legal system only represents big US business.
Seriously, how can this decision be good for anything?
Yes... Do you know why??? Because most of IE is integrated into the explorer UI. Most of the bulk of Internet Explorer lies there
IE will run fine without the explorer.exe shell running dumbass. Lower memory usage and faster performance comes from moving certain functions/objects right into the Win32 API.
Mozilla is basically an OS running on top of an OS. It has its own native widget set, its own Cross-platform Component Object Model (XPCOM), god knows what else (check the source) and people wonder why it is dog slow?
Mozilla is FATware. That is what you get for re-inventing the wheel.
I use it for my email:)
Please compare to MS Works, not Office
on
StarOffice 6.0
·
· Score: 1
... are all reporting that Sun's StarOffice 6.0, which will be released on May 21, will cost a measly $75.95. That's less than a quarter the cost of Microsoft Office.
Why not compare to the price of MS Works, rather than Office? Seems to me that that is a fairer comparison.
Yes, I'm serious. I'd take WordPerfect 5.1 over Star Office. Star Office has a looooong way to go.
Uh, ze linux kernel isn't written in C++, it is written in C.
Also, linux (kernel) uses a bunch of (proprietary to GCC:) extensions to C that no other compiler has, so this compiler hasn't a hope in hell of compiling the kernel.
You need to realize that most low-level stuff isn't written in C++ (ie kernels, device drivers, TCP/IP stack, Apache, Perl, Python etc). C++ simply does not have the efficiency. I'm not saying C++ is slow, just that it isn't suitable for that kind of programming.
This is sad -- ESR works for/. and yes, it's the only reason this story was posted. Looking at the long-term future of computing, ESR has nothing to say (and nothing interesting to say either).

We had weed back in my day, but I had to *pay* for it. None of this referral paybacks. :)
fedora isn't even a real release yet.
Is this just the result of a bunch of Redhat fanboys, or is Redhat doing some astroturfing?
Redhat: the Redmond of the linux world!
Worms are programs that are self replicating.
Viruses are a type of worm that hide themselves inside other files.
Virii is a blanket term for (usually malicious) worms + viruses.
HAHA! Thanks for the "overrated" moderation!
w00t! :)
I must admit that the sendmail holes are (mostly) ancient history.
Partly by design (open relays were the way to do it back then) and part mis-configuration.
THe sendmail.mc option conf(`DONT_BLAME_SENDMAIL',...) is amusing though!
Windows becomes more like *nix every day!
They look just like I'd imagined too!

QuakeWorld is still the best action FP shooter.

Uh, Radeon is ATI, not nVidia...
Just because something is delayed doesn't make it vaporware. Hammer is almost complete, enough so that actual hardware exists and works.
Vaporware is something that doesn't _exist_ -- other than marketing colateral. That is a big difference.
latency causes there to already be 100 posts when you bring up the comments page ... and you thought you were first! :)
Python isn't a language that scales up to large, processor intensive applications.
This means this project is doomed...

Doesn't anyone out there get concerned about all these high powered transceivers surrounding them?
Xrays and microwaves are a fair ways apart, but it is the same thing -- *these waves are going through your body*.
I guess it's like smoking, unless the negative aspect is immediatly apparent, no-one cares.
Enjoy your tumor!

No, you are wrong. LGPL is the same as GPL, with the exception that you can *link* to binaries that are closed source.
This means that the WINE sources remain open, and you don't make closed releases ala BSD or X licenses.
