Oh, before any tom fool starts stating that a move of Gnome to.NET wouldn't mean rewriting everything in C# remember that the intermediate language best represents C# and other languages do not do nearly as well. Maybe Stallman is smarter than he seems.
Having one person own the entire "tree" of code slows the development process to a crawl. Linux will never be able to bring functionality to the table as fast as Windows if everything has to go through one man. Do you think Bill Gates is sitting at his desk and reviewing Windows XP code? No. He has better things to do. Linus should realize this and work on implementing a development environment that will enable broader management.
Windows XP isn't just a kernel, and Linux (the distro) is distributed across many people.
UML is good when you plan your software. Linus doesn't believe in long-term plans. And far fewer programmers get weary of development in the short-term.
Professionalism comes in many forms. Sometimes it's breaking standards so that Granny using Netscape 3 is able to have an adequate level of usability - and ensuring that the rest of the world browse unaffected.
Which is a possible and reasonable choice for a professional that values 'what works best for users now' over all else.
They can use SVG but most aren't vectors. You could take bitmaps of the SVG at the various icon set sizes to get them for KDE.
The main problem with KDE icons, IMO, is that although you could replace some the the interia of KDE software with KDE looking icons. It's ugly, and there's no simple way around it.
Where does money come from? Its a chicken/egg situation once you realized the entire world currency is not backed by gold.
Strip it back to the basics and then watch it evolve. It's irrelevant that it's not backed by precious metals - they have no inate worth more than paper.
An agreement between two people requires a promisary note - very common years ago. When a pig rangler wanted to get milk from the cow herder he would exchange a promisary note - "This note is good for one pig [signed]".
The cow herder could keep the note and get a pig when he saw fit. Or he could trade the note for other goods/services.
Perhaps a man of status wouldn't trade stock, he would commit 3 squads for 3 weeks to another. The notes could be traded. In time notes were signed by the King to be worth a certain ammount. Those who didn't see value in the pieces of paper didn't involve themselves with it. Those who did see value desired the notes.
Eventually it makes sense to put numbers to your notes. Trying to exchange a note for 15 head of cattle is difficult. But 15 dollars can be broken up into it's parts.
Then Kings produced more notes. The corrupt Kings knew they couldn't cash in the value - but, back in the real world, they didn't have to. They promised more to more people and the value of a note dropped. They stopped handing out duplicate notes and the price rose. They made laws so that they were the ones who controlled this.
Simply said, money is an evolution of promisary notes. Nothing much more, nothing much less.
WTF? Binary isn't more prone to corruption than XML other for the fact that it's smaller so wipping out a byte matters more to binary.
Speed of XML? Parse once and cache binary. The speed isn't an issue. No decent software reads configuration files again and again.
Dumping all system configuration into one file is braindead. One screwup and your system is hosed. But too often people blend the ideas of single interface and single file. No sane person would care that there's multiple files so long as their interface to them is standardised and monolithic.
I assume you mean $300/wk (US)? I've lived on the NZ equivilent of that ($150/wk) for one and a half years before my new job. As the King of the World I expect to be treated accordingly and not abused. I don't lower my standards out of fear - I'm not a coward.
I now have the most kickass job. I'm working on computer accessibility and assisting the government with guidelines. I'm very happy.
I'm sorry it didn't work out for you. I realise I was lucky. But in all walks of life (work/home/play) acting subservient will get people treating you like shit. Fact of life, really, and one that the King of the World knows only too well.
Slashdot Mirror
Make it as a link or Slashcode can't tell the difference between you and a malicious page-widener.

Dude, Schroedinger, dude.
Sorry, I live in another country.
Er, it's on the front page of their site.
They should embrace the trading and take a cut.
I think this officially brings 'mindless hatred of Slashdot' into the same league of 'mindless hatred of Microsoft'
It'll be very difficult to lose, and hopefully the other team will run out of petrol.
I keep the robot building money and spend it on a holiday to England. Hurrah!
BGP4 for the edges... if that helps.
I am plugged into Actrix. Do not get plugged into Actrix.

Storage Review lost their entire database. Scroll down their front page to "A few answers on the event"

And KDE is cartoony... not Jessica Rabbit cartoony, but the 70s-era series of Zorro cartoony.
No... that's too kind. KDE looks like ancient greek art - the type that couldn't draw a face from any angle aside from flat-on.
At least Gnome is AD.

Personally, I wouldn't blame Sue, I'd blame PHPnuke. But that's me.
