I think I'm going to "pirate" some GPL'd
code and put it in my proprietary product!
The strength of GPL is that you cannot
do it without getting yourself into a trouble.
If you are making a product you will have
competitors and they will find out
and sue you.
GPL doesn't restrict the use - only the
distribution. It is only restrictive when the
restriction can actually be enforced.
No I don't condone downloading mp3s, and yes, it is theft.
No I don't condone downloading RPMs, DEBs and TGZs,
and yes, it is theft, isn't it?
I wonder how you can tell what is theft
based on the file extension?
Well, if Progeny is not Debian, why
does it have Debian in its name?
If you expect that people will be blamed
for asking support for Progeny in
the Debian lists,
let's open them their eyes now and tell
them that what they are buying is
not what they might think it is?
It's a common misconception that Assembler
is faster than C. Good compilers know
how to group instructions together so that they
execute faster on the given processor.
It's quite hard to do by hand.
Compilers are not so dumb as in the times of
8088, and the processors are not so simple
anymore.
LinuxWorld, Unix Insider, and ITWorld are all owned by IDG, a worldwide
information conglomerate headquartered in Boston, Mass.
Despite your theory, the traffic in Boston and around is not getting any better.
Anyway, let's hope that the fired engineers are responsible
people and will prefer Charles River to freeways. ---
I believe that FreeBSD users don't
need to ask too many questions to be asked in USENET.
FreeBSD is often installed by
experienced sysadmins on the fully supported i386
achitecture for the sole purpose
of running well-tested and well-documented server software.

This "news story" reads a lot more like an advertisement
Actually it is. I'm going to patent a new method of
advertizing in Internet by inserting the word "Linux"
into the ad and submitting it to slashdot editors.
You shouldn't drop a working feature only
because you don't like those who need it.
It is like removing the ability to spoof
messages from LICQ just because you
believe it's immoral.
In the free software world, if you let
someone down, the project can just fork.
Get used to it.
WINE 1.0 has support for antialiasing.
But it probably doesn't qualify because
it does it on the client side,
i.e. it works with XFree86-3.x.x and
even Exceed if you are such a pervert:-)
Moderators, I don't think it's funny, but it's certainly interesting.
It's really very useful for Wine developers
to be able to compare a Windows program
running natively and in the emulator.
I uses to run an X Server for Windows
and a separate Linux machine with Wine to do such comparison.
Now you should be able to do it on the same machine.
Of course, if LINE is mature enough.
Bitness is very important for the programming
model. If (char *) cannot address a byte in
a file of a size comparable to the size of a
modern hard drive (it is not
unreasonable to have such files) it's
a major problem - you must either refuse to support
large files or use long long everywhere,
which is slow without native CPU support.
You probably don't need to save the OS
buffers. The cache could (and should!) be
flushed before hibernation.
But I understand you have no control
over the sources of the OS you are running.
I doubt that you are really talking about hibernation.
Where on the disk does your system save the memory?
Is it a separate partition?
Or is your BIOS supposed to restore memory by reading
files from an ext2 partition?

I believe that it's in the interests of Microsoft to plug this hole unless they are paid for leaving it open.
