One of the reasons I switched my "allegience" from Gnome to KDE is that I found Qt to be a better match for my (nascent) programming style. I just wasn't comfortable with GTK+.
As I understand it, *Step uses Objective C. As may be ascertained from my flirtation with Qt, I like (ISO) C++. How much does ObjC differ from C++? Does it support templates? Are there good tutorials on the language and/or GNUstep programming?
These issues are more important than "this wm is better than that wm," "this library is more cross-platform than that library," or "this license is better that that license."
Well, frankly, at 25,000 smackers, it's only something to drool over. And if it's not worth "drooling" over, it's not worth $25000. Just think of the SGI/Beowolf/Mahogany veneer computer that could be had for such a price...
Frankly, I find the television adverts for such things are a bit ludicrous, as I doubt there are very many "hip" 18-25 year olds with enough money to buy a $7K HDTV, much less a $25K medium-definition flatscreen.
The US Constitution gives the Federal Government the right to regulate Interstate commerce.
I suspect that these computer generated wills have been contested at various times. Although many parts of the will are essentially standardized, and attorneys probably use similar software, software cannot deal with everything. If a user pushes the software to its limits, the reslting will may be contested. This basically boils down to a "Who do you sue?" type FUD argument, but as probate is a legal procedure, "Who do you sue?" is a most valid question.
Attorneys do have their uses. Disbausing persons of "common law" fallacies is one of them.
Apparently AOL wants to prove that there are enough morons who associate the phrase with AOL to give it common law rights. My guess is that AOL will try to claim trademark rights to "The Internet" next.
Incidentally, is the offending code mentioned in any of the "annotated source code" books out there-- e.g. "The Lions Book"? I'd love to see a copy of "login.c" from 1989, but I can't find an appropriate Web/Gopher/FTP resource-- Linux dates from 1991, and I think the FreeBSD varients date from the same period.

Oh. $15K is a lot more resonable. But I had my heart set on a widescreen to watch "Flipper."

Uh-huh. Linux is not about memorizing a twenty step installation procedure. Here's mine:
make xconfig
make dep; make clean;
make; make modules;
make zdisk; make modules-install
reboot
I have used 2.1 kernels with near stock 5.1. (I needed to update ppp and a few other util files) and 2.2 kernels with stock 5.2.
