it's quite possible to get financial aid w/o any signatures or forms from the parents. i started college when i was 18, and was completely on financial aid. some low-income grants, but mostly loans. 6 years out of school and still paying 'um off. the "hurdle" was that i was an independant student.vs. a dependant student. (two years of not being a dependent on mom's taxes).
they're not design criteria, they're goals of the project. linux has uses on the desktop and in the server room. one of this projects's stated goals is giving those desktop users a faster login screen and a faster UI experience.
another stated goal is to allow service authors (ssh, nfs, etc, etc) to directly provide their startup scripts. today, each distro writes its own scripts, uses it's own lock files, and knows how to check for other needed services on startup. if this were pushed down to the service authors, it would be a GOOD thing. first off you'll get more testing as the startup scripts will get used a lot more than just by one distro. second, the authors know what services their service needs (nfs -> portmap) and work with those services to make sure the checks and balances are all there. the distro doesn't have to worry about it in a "propriatary" manner.
he may have no idea what he's doing, but it sounds like good stuff to me.
just out of curiosity, what is the closed source version of software that does the features you mention. a small business accounting, inventoring, ordering, advertising, etc. i've seen some specialized packages per industry, but not a general OTS package.
do you understand what those three letters expand to? CLR == Common Language Runtime. That means the runtime, or the interpreter or vm if you will, can handle running multiple languages together at runtime. Your C# code can call your c++ code which can call your perl code which can call your C# code (i've only worked with c# calling c++ com+ objects, but i've heard it works). I'm not familiar with this MAME an p-Code, but java only runs one language, and you have to go outside the vm to run native code.
um, it's very very common to ask for a jury trial up front to buy time. later you can waive your right to a jury trial, but asking for one initially will be certain that things don't move along swiftly.
i'm not sure you're following the logic of the OP. shortly after the boxed sets are available, there will be two sets of iso's available for download. there'll be:
At that rate you might as well take a paycut and go work IN-HOUSE for the company who's willing to pay less for someone from India.
problem is that most companies aren't willing to do that anymore. once they've decided to go the outsourcing route, your job has already been cut in their minds. once you and your team get the word, there's no re-negotiating about the deal. contracts have already been signed.
you could come to the US to finish a contract with a foreign company. then you're basically on vacation as far as the US is concerned.
as an american i've looked into living temp. out side the borders. one could live in mexico and work for an american company. the mexican taxes would be very low if any b/c the money earned is from a foreign company. america allows you to earn up to maybe 70k per year working abroad w/o paying taxes. now if i could only find a company to pay me to telecommute, i'd be living in the yuccatan.
i'd say it's a requirements issue. if the requirements allow for a site to be IE6.0 only, and the dev team uses windows with IE, you're going to get an IE only site.
actions to speak boldly. that's why linux quit his paying job a transmetta to focus exclusively on the 2.6 kernel release. we currently have a 2.6beta or somesuch kernel and it's getting close to being released. most likely by years end. i don't think there's been any focus on the kernel dev's to alter existing code for the sake of lincensing issues.
until SCO backs up their claims, it's really hard to remove any "offending" code. has sco sued any body over copyright infringement yet because they're using or distributing the linux kernel?
making that part of the deal these days isn't as easy as it sounds. perhaps after the hopefull outflux of h1-b's (doubtfull).
changing jobs here in the states does require loosing all seniority. there aren't many companys that operate on a payband for vacation time. and less companies that operate on a PTO. PTO makes so much sense though, you either have to lie to take those sick days (much needed 3 day weekend), or you loose that time.
they're not just recouping their costs, they're restricting me or anyone else from printing the exact bible for use. anyone cannot print a bible, they can print a version of the bible that is in the public domain due to it being 100+ years old. there is a restriction.
it's not just a song, to christians it's a praise to the lord. the song writers are restricting use of that praise by using existing copyright laws. they're profiting and protecting their works and limiting the praise of the lord.
you make it extremely obvious your religious beliefs in your statements. but, regardless of personal religious beliefs...
most people would believe that the vast majority of the authors of christian spiritual literature, both translations of the bible as well as other materials that are intended to be inspriational, are sincere in their personal faith in their religion. they also feel it is their right to personally profit from their created works and (perhaps blindingly) keep their message from being spread by using monopolistic copyright measures.
most people would believe that any religious author that is attempting to further any particular religion is sincere in their attempt to further that religion.
yes, there's lots of bad apples in religious relm, most of which are on tv, or in charge of large churches that have members with big incomes.
Uh, what's the point? Most books are copyrighted. A book about Christianity is not a sacred text.
the point is that the people who copyright christian works can be viewed as being hypocritical. first off, they're making a personal profit from their attempt to spread the word of god. secondly, they're restricting others from freely spreading their interpretation of the word.
just because we have texts (KJV and others) that are public domain doesn't make it right or moral for any of the other biblical translators to copyright and restrict free copying of their works.
As are most secular songs. Some hymns are also public domain. Hymns are not a major tenet of Christianity. They even differ from church to church within Christianity.
i'd argue that hymns and songs in general are a major part of the religion. most churches dedicate a good portion of their worship service to songs. in my view, using copyrights to "protect" religious hymns is hypocritical.
I guarantee that neither Moses, Matthew, Mark, Luke, nor John will sue your ass for publishing it.
that's only because they were part of a religious movement. their function wasn't to write religious texts to publish to put food on the table. their job was to convert people to christianity and to teach the word of god. god put food on the table for them.
i would highly question the motives and inspiration of anyone who copyrights the works or derivitive works of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John or any other authors of biblical passages and who restricts the free publication and disemination of those works.
first off, how do you know they're not providing patches back?
secondly, it is good for the community. it shows that the cost of using a linux implementation is more effective than using another (windows) implementation. these companies don't have to pay licensing fees (go to hell SCO) for every box they sell, or some huge development licensing fee.
sure the TCO's have different aspects with the different os's. the TCO of a.NET.vs. a j2ee implementation also has different aspects and depending on the project requirements (longjevity.vs. quick to market perhaps), the technologies will fall into place.
Can you provide a link to back this up? I was under the impression that in the future, you'd be able to d/l all the components separately, but still also able to d/l the Moz suite for those of us that don't biatch and whine all day about d/l sizes and start up times and such.
you want native lnf with java, check out the eclipse platform. you can code your apps that will be very native lnf. on linux, they use the gtk+ widgets, on win32, they use win32 native widgets. there's a good reason they don't use the KDE/QT widgets, it's that viral effect of the GPL.
larger than Elcomsoft, but no where near Microsoft. Sun has a 12B market cap, Microsoft has a 291B market cap as of now. using really bad math:
Sun < 0.05 (Microsoft)

i don't think the big challenge is in getting different physical applications in different physical desktop places to work together is the big challenge.
to me, the big challenge is in getting a standard format (schema driven xml) for holding the data. once this is done, any app that knows the schema can work with the data.
i wanna be able to right click on a date time that's selected on a web page and select an option for "check calendar" to see if i'm free. i'd then like to just add the item to my calendar, and mark it for follow up to have me enter more details later.
yep, i know myself i always go completely through the code before i deploy it to the QA folks searching for those//TODO:'s and @todo's. please... people make mistakes. as for the QA folks, well, you can't actually QA 100,000 units for "stress" testing now.
yes, i do think that netgear should own the uni some $$ for their time/resources.
linked lists and binary trees are worthless pieces of crap. actually they're very usefull, just that people don't really code them that much. with c++, there's the STL and all its vectors, lists etc. in java, there's the collections and associates. it's good to know which one to use and where to use it. the details of how to hold those pointers in an internal array and how do i delete an item from a linked list out of the middle of the list is just pointless for anyone other than a library maintainer.
there's plenty of books on writing gui applications. kde bible, Visual C++ in 21 days. Visual basic books up the yazoo, even a few java gui books. what lots of these books lack is guideance in general in creating a gui application. what works best and where. what makes a gui "user friendly" and how do i make one.

then by all accounts Hiroshima was an act of terror. this whole terrorist movement was started by the US.
