And if you buy it at BestBuys, maybe you can get the parts for $16.23 (if you can risk an arrest.)
Not to start a licensing flame war but... Can you relicense a derivative of an GPL library(QT) into LGPL?
I'll make a install key which is only valid when the sum of the digits is evenly divisable by seven. Nobody will ever guess the algorithm.
Imagine a beowulf cluster of these nuclear detonations?
'It's called Sorceror Linux, so why not have a command called cast? Seems logical for me.'
You haven't read the article did you? They do have a command called 'cast'!
