Your intolerance is also unlikely to make you friends among non-native english speakers.
As a non native-english speaker, I certainly appreciate more reading correct english than 3733t FuNlOoKiNg "art".
you can get sopme sources :
Get Source Code for Interix Utilities
Order Interix Utilities from eStore Direct
The source code for the utilities bc, ci, co, cpio, csplit, dc, diff, diff3, gawk, gzip, gunzip, ident, merge, nl, rcs, rcsdiff, rcsmerge and rlog is made available via CD media. You can order the $20 CD media from eStoreDirect or you can download directly from ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/developr/interix/.
, but I didn't find gcc sources.
You: On top of that, after two years of being Microsoft free, I have to use Windows 2000 at work. The operating system no longer crashes, but MS Office and MS Explorer sure do, and I have lost work several times because of it.

Just a closing comment: of course euro migration will be quite "fun", but one could have think of Deutshe Telekom, as a big and responsible corporation, to actually help prepare people with euro, instead of introducing yet another monetary product in mark, so close to the change date.
bien sûr, la monnaie d'usage reste la même pour l'instant, mais il est surprenant de lancer à trois mois de l'abandon complet du DEM un produit financier basé dessus. Comment se fera la transition pour les porteurs particuliers, sachant que les entreprises ont déjà du mal. Et dès 2002, la valeur en mark devra être convertie, que se soit pour les prix des articles à acheter, ou pour les recharges ou nouvelles carte. 25,50 ou 100 euros me semble des valeurs beaucoup plus interressantes, même si pendant 3 mois, les clients payent en mark.
They launch in fall card in Mark, and as soon as January, Mark is no longer valid. They should lanch them in Euro from the beginning. (note : euro is already legal currency in euro countries)
...by the samples given. They're is a mix between life and death issues, where a little less privacy can be an efficient mean to provide a better vital service, and instinct buying, based on the more and more repeated conception that the consumer need to consume to be happy.
Go out and get a life! Perhaps, you miss business oportunities, but I tend to think those are opportunities only for businesses. My main criticism is that we have a system where the corporate entity has more and more power and protection, and the human person less and less.
I don't like the microsoft attitude and blue screens, but I must recognise I always had some pleasure to browse research.microsoft.com.
Yes, they are here to provide amunitions to the bad guys, but they also provide some community services, for example hosting some IEEE publications and making them available for free.
So, they respect the licence for a server someone else developed and they ported to IPv6, great. Remember, Microsoft is build on licensing, so it's not so strange.
When people really investigate it, they will find the truth.
Oh faith in the people!, Oh Faith in the media!
When people see that, they don't give it any attention, like every time in IT.
If people really investigated, there'll be no Windows.
On Dec. 9, 1968, Engelbart and his research team unveiled the future according to Engelbart. For an hour-and-a-half, an amazed crowd of 2,300 at the Joint Computer Conference in San Francisco watched what's still called "the mother of all demos." Engelbart demonstrated a new way to work: personal computer workstations that could talk to each other, allowing collaboration from anywhere in the country.
This was more than a vision; they showed off hardware and software, built by his team from scratch, equipped with some element of virtually every system we use today: the computer mouse, the graphical user interface (visual display of text and graphics), windows, networking, a Web-style browser to fish up information out of cyberspace, e-mail, even video conferencing. "It was one of the greatest experiences in my life," recalls fellow pioneer Alan Kay. "Engelbart was like Moses opening the Red Sea."

But what if, more interresting for the patenter, someone had patented the fact to use metaphor of the reality in a virtual system, covering windows, but also every computer model of part of the world, and as such, preventing everybody to do something useful with computer without thinking really laterally.
I usually use a@b.c, garanteed to go nowhere.
But if the website requesting the adress is a little paranoid, he can check the live validity of the server during the process, obliging to give a valid mail host.
did you read the sdmi spec?
I did. and I found some rather frightening provision : any unmarked music entering the sdmi system has to be marked as valid for only 4 working copies at a time. And so, even if some music work as no copiright att all, once it enter the system, you can no longer make as many copies as you wish.
the simple fact that a boycott is publicized in the "hacher community" with its "strange philosophical principles" must be taken into account by the corporate sponsors of the system.
Some hackers boycott the challenge, peoples who develop computer systems worth of millions of dollars in closed source world, doesn't mean they are going to boycott the hacking.
They are just boycotting the fact they are invited to be a "proof" of the fiability of the watermarking scheme.
And as long as the rules are not publicized, there is no problem wanting to hack with a watermark-remover under GPL, whose copyright is to the author, let him (or her) take the money, and publicize the method of removal.
Publish quickly the result in Europe, software patents are still, perhaps for a few month, illegal here.
It remind me of the macrovision protection, where the legal protection against "analogic hackers" is based on the fact that macrovision owns the patents on the easy ways to remove the protection, thus permitting to prevent construction and distribution of macrovision remover.
So, if you hack (no problem), publish your results in such a way that the hacking is unpatentable.
After more than ten year professionnal practice with relationnal databases, notably DB2, Oracle, Sybase (now ASE), Watcom (now ASA), I think that "paternisation" with the meaning given by the gang of four is not really achievable. It occured to me, some time ago (in 91, I can be specific cause I know for sure I was not married at that time), that a company could be created to try to sell physical data models permitting to implement systems for different activity sectors (being, for exemple, human ressources, accounting, production...), implementing a known working pattern of datastorage, not of data access. But at that time, I didn't know about Internet or GPL, and I couldn't figure out a way of making money. And given my enterprenarial unfriendly environment (living in France), I quite forgot about it, being sorry once and once again about the need to reinvent the wheel each time. There seem to exist emerging way to implement storage, but as they are numerous chapell, there is not one way to do things. And I think an important cause of this state of facts is caused by the absence of one RDBMS implementation. So each one has it's strengths and weakness. And so, for each DBMS, what is working great, in term of data integrity, performance,... can be a killer or completely unfeasible on another DBMS. So a project manager who is an experienced Oracle developper can be a problem for a Sybase development (or the inverse), and a a developper experimented with an old version of a DBMS can miss important novelties of a new version. Perhaps some tendency like SQL92 (imagine, a standard created eight year agos and not yet fully implemented in major commercial products) are steps in the good direction toward the ability to have reusable patterns of database access and storage, but for the time being, the main choice is beetween multi database compatibility and efficiency. And given the tight time constraints of the majority of projects, the easiest way for the management is often to use competent developpers specialist of the target DBMS, with lots of hands-on experience, permiting them to reinvent the wheel, but with the implied knowledge that they will not create costly (in term of debugging, maintenance and tuning) performance bottlenecks, but will instead use every really working feature of the target DBMS (that is, forget marketing hype about features) to go as quickly as possible (even if not the less costly in the long run) toward the creation of the system expected by the client. So, should you wisch pattern for databases, they are in the minds and conversations of experienced developpers, but they are more Oracle 7 patterns, Oracle 8 patterns, Sybase pre-10 patterns, Sybase 10-11 patterns, sybase 11.5 patterns (with row level locking)... and so on.
I use myself a similar setup daily (solaris VNC server, WinNT Vnc viewer). One of our machine use also the ability of VNC to have a java applet as client to display a lot of perfmeter inside a page of our intranet (with a dedied VNC server, and without a lot of security;-). A precision concerning the side note at the end, even if NT is not really multi-concurent-user, there exist a quite efficient-not so bad VNC server, permitting to take control of your NT machine from somewhere else on the Network. The windows manager to use is up to you (and your Unix machine), and I suggest starting with the basics, for exemple openwin on solaris.
