Well, religious fundamentalists are known for killing other people. Christians have done it during the crusades, first season, and now, in their second season. Some muslims are religious fundamentalists too, but they are not the deadliest, by far.
The gimp is scriptable, it's called "gimp batch mode".
FFT and stuff can be handled by GNU octave or freemat, both use the same language as matlab, and run on fortran. As of compatibility, there is basic compatibility, because I was able to do my homework with octave, that I was supposed to do with Matlab at the lab.
Well, I said that oracle is bigger than postgres. I believe so. I was also stating my experience, that in my field, that is small to middle-size databases, Postgres is much better. Easier to program for, easier to administer. I was just making a conjecture that maybe for big size companies, it's easier to deal with the biggest db provider. In many companies aroud here, it's easier to just let them buy whatever Oracle database they want to buy, if they feel safer that way.
Speak for yourself!! "Just because it's there and you like to hack" is more than enough reason to open your new digital camera, or any other gadget, digital or not. I like to do that sort of thing, even if I don't accopmlish anything, it would give me some sense of fulfilment to know which color the pcb on my digicam was, if I had one. I have opened most pieces of electronics I own, but I never thought that I needed a reason to do so. Of course, with digital cameras, theres a lot to do, for example, what's with the sony cams not being able to be used as webcams, or surveillance cameras, for example? You could automate the camera to get better automatic pictures, different exposure ranges, extended exposure pics, playing music with the beeper, installing java, java games, adding bluetooth through some odd hook, multiplayer java games, using the camera as a PDA. Maybe you get the idea.
Oracle is bigger, they have lots of enterprise features and apps, and trained people to support you, plus a big company behind. It must be the sane choice for big corps. In my workplace, we develop for oracle, and postgres, and we are very pleased with both performances. Programming for postgres is nicer, because they are more conformant to standars (the version of ORacle we are using doesn't have "LIMIT" and "OFFSET", for example). Administering it is easier, backups/restores are easier, mirroring is easier. I have all kinds of problems understanding the way Oracle does things. It must be that Oracle requires enterprise size, and a DBA that understands it, plus it provides lots of enterprise stuff that _I_ don't make use of, but for small-medium size apps, I believe the best choice is Postgres. For enterprise applications, they have a lot of infrastructure that might be useful.
Hey!! Tubgirl is not even in the same league as goatse. Let's stop that kind of comment, naming them as if they were in the same level of relevance. Tubgirl is gross, but it's human. Goatse, on the other hand, is offensive in many more ways, it's sexually offensive, because only a small part of the public enjoy watching guys from that perspective, it's gross, it's unusual from the physiological perspective, and it doesn't go away from your retina. Some fat woman shitting is something I can cope with muich better than with that. Nurses get to see that kind of thing pretty often, don't they?
They also kill people, and use eye patches that they really don't need, just for intimidating reasons. Copyright infringement is not, in any way, related to piracy. That is just a marketing stunt, no more valid that the last Coca-Cola slogan. A line should be drawn between marketing and reality: people who download mp3s and movies are freeloaders, copyright infringers, in many cases not even that. Calling someone a pirate is just a way to say they are bad, but that implies killing, raping and sailing. Don't keep doing that, please.
Parent is not flamebait, it is a real insult. It could be called informative, because I honestly believe the guy is a dumbass. At least, not flamebait. Insulting the guy is just what I felt like doing, because I thought it was a stupid question to ask, not a call for flames. In the FAQ it doesn't say that "profanity" or insults are discouraged. My post was even on-topic because it answered a question regarding the way the site works (why no no-text messages)
Of course, Marx thought of this before. The problem is that noone has found a way to handle people in a better way that a "free" market. I was pointing out that even when most implementations of communism have crashed and burned, that doesn't prove anything. As an example, China is gaining a lot of economic momentum. Of course, you could say that it is at the expense of oppressing chinese people. You could also say that the wealth of the west could not be possible in capitalism without exploiting the rest of the world. The US system, for example, is better for the people in the US than the chinese for people in China. If you look at it from a global perspective, they are not much different. Well, we just have to wait and see how China behaves, but that's a different story.
How did we end up with such an expensive system, and how did Communists build such a cheap one? Wasn't their society supposed to be extremely wasteful, and ours the efficient one? What the hell happened?
They just lied to you. Communism is not inherently good or bad, as capitalism. US capitalism has won (if the current state of affairs regarding the US can be called winning), but that doesn't mean it is better, or worse than its communist counterpart. The romans conquered the greek, the aztecas won to the mayans, the spanish defeated the aztecas. There are lots of examples of civilization that were succesful even being inferior to the ones they fought.
Efficiency is not tied to capitalism. You can see that some individuals can spoil the fun of everyone in the most capitalistic countries. And you can see lots of socialist ideas (not communist, but anti-capitalistic) gaining momentum in other parts of the world, and acheiving results.
Maybe the idea is not to think of yourselves as the best, and try to learn some things from the other side of the fence. For example, how not to over-engineer.
It can be done. GPL has nothing to do with it. The developer has the right to do whatever he wants with the code, including using other licenses. Look at MySQL, for example.
BSD gives freedom to the developer. GPL, to the user.
BSD gives more freedom the the next developer, even the freedom to restrict the software. GPL takes away freedom from the next developer, and gives it to the next one, passing it along to the user. This user has the same freedom as a user than the first guy who got the software, even the guy who got a BSD license. He can choose to be a developer too. Then the GPL takes away some of his freedom to save it for the next guy.
The mathemetics used is that there are more users than developers. Taking freedom away from developers, if it's given back to users, is not a loss. And you have potentially more users that are assured to have freedom.
The sum of freedom is higher with the GPL than with the BSD, or at the least, not lower.
Free software is not the same as APL-software. APL-software uses the copyright laws to create a "copyleft", that reverses some characteristics of copyrighted works. Copyleft, opposite to copyright, gives you the right to copy, modify, and share software in a modified form. It doesn't let you take those rights from the next user/developer in the chain. That is copyleft, and the GPL is a copyleft license, and the GPL comprises the terms of the Free Software Foundation.
There are lots of copyleft licenses which terms are not set by the Free Software Foundation.
There are free licenses that are not copyleft (Public Domain, BSD-like license)
Of course, I agree with your point, free software is definitely not the same as open source software. In fact, open source software is such a fuzzy term, that I don't find much use for it.
Having access to the source is just a small part of the benefits of free software. It's a nice business word, but it means nothing useful at least.

Just use google classic. Your browser should suggest those three.
Google suggest is another thing. Probably it's just not right for you.
