What are you talking about? Of COURSE you can. Think of this situation:
You release a useful library under the GPL. BigSoft comes to you and says, "We'd really like to use this in our closed product. We'll pay you $10 zillion." Now being an intelligent person, you of course accept.
The code is still available for use under the GPL, it's just that there is another license for BigSoft.
A GPA of 6 in DS? Wow, you must be really smart...
For one thing, the highest GPA I've ever heard of is 4.0 (possibly 4.5, if you're in a high school where honors courses are worth and extra half grade point).
And for another thing, and GPA refers to the average grade of ALL your courses, not just one. Unless you took it more than once...;)
XFree86 4+ allows you to do this. I don't know if it's accelerated or not, but at any rate, this is how you do it: (untested, since I have no desire to do this, nor do I really care)
in the Device section, add:
Option "Rotate" "CW"
or
Option "Rotate" "CCW"
CW is clockwise, CCW is counterclockwise.
I don't know if this works for all drivers, but in a quick google search I turned up that it works for the XFree86 "nv" driver (not to be confused with nvidia's closed-source "nvidia" driver).
I did a build of kdelibs on a 15GB reiserfs partition and a 15GB ext2 partition (two halves of a 30GB drive, natch:), and the difference in build times was about 30 seconds out of a total build time of ~1 hour. I think reiserfs was slower, but I'm not positive.
Interestingly enough, though, I timed unpacking of the kdelibs tar.bz2, and it took 55 seconds on reiserfs but only 20 on ext2.
Nobody is forcing you to upgrade.
You can always just get pre-compiled binaries.
So what if it's an hour? Just set it up to build overnight.
Do you want them to remove features so it builds faster?
An hour? That's nothing - KDE2.2alpha2 takes about 16 hours to build! (no kidding - I started it building at 12 hours ago, and it's about 3/4 done)
XFree4 is SOOO much faster for 2D graphics (i.e. movies) than 3.3.6 that you won't believe it. It's like getting a whole system upgrade. I went from not being able to play Civ:CTP to having it run very smoothly.
1.) Buy as many Xboxes as possible (loss liter, MS will loss billions)
Loss liter? I think you mean loss leader, unless...
Hey, that's not a bad idea! Maybe we should get every Softie to donate a liter of blood!:)

I thought that episode was really dumb - how on earth did Kes get as far as Voyager in less time? Unless the delta quadrant is very strangely shaped, it doesn't make the slightest bit of sense.
Not to mention the fact that that episode was incredibly stupid.
No, it's that the captains on the show are supposed to be very exceptional captains, so they can achieve the rank. If they were just ordinary captains, then they wouldn't live through all the incredible adventures they have.:)

"Photon" torpedo is actually a misnomer. They consist of hydrogen and antihydrogen, which when triggered annihilate in a big explosion. They just kept the name from the original trek since they couldn't very well change it, could they?:)

Remember, they used a few alien devices to skip several tens of thousands of light-years - I think at the beginning of the last season they were something like 40k from home.

You're being too restrictive - it doesn't say "stuff that matters for nerds". It can be only one without the other.

Are you really stupid, or do you have no sense of humor? Anyone with half a brain can see that the post was a JOKE.
Yeah - all the radar operators would be so busy trying to remove that image from their minds that they wouldn't pay any attention to their consoles :)
IANARO (I am not a radar operator), but I think the whole point is that radar can't detect something that small.
And just think of the money you could make from selling that on the black market!
:-D
Certainly enough to get a whole silo sealed against leakage.
No fair answering the question for him!

Shouldn't that be /dev/urandom, not /dev/random? With /dev/random, it will take forever...
Well, it's certainly not the filesystem.

ouch - doesn't that stuff burn?
Hmm... it could be because I'm using reiserfs - I'll try a build on my ext2 partition (I've got 5 GB free on there, so it's not prob).
s/but just libs and base/not just libs and base/
I'm talking about ALL of KDE2.2, but just libs and base.
I've only got 128MB RAM - I'm sure that having more really speeds things up.
I've got a Celly 366, which is fairly similar to yours, so the difference has to be in either disk or RAM.

Why would you want to do that when Tribes2 has a perfectly good server browser built in?
