Seeing that this is the 3rd time Borland has tried to slip something into the licensing and got caught, it makes me wonder how we can trust them in the future. One of these days they're going to slip something in their licensing that will be as bad or worse as this little 'foobar' was, and nobody will catch it until it is too late!
Actually, I thought I read that Andromeda was adaptation of Gene Roddenberry's unfinished story detailing the fall of the Federation/Star Fleet. Too bad they had to modify it to be a story of a galaxy far far away...
I made a few bugfixes to makedepend and submitted them to both the X consortium and XFree86.org about 1 year ago. Nowhere did I ever get any type of response back, nor have I seen any signs that either of these groups incorporated any bugfixes to this important tool. I did get flamed a couple of times on XFree86's maillist just for asking where to submit my fixes. I guess it's not important to these organizations. I do note though how so many other people do their own versions of makedepend anyhow (including the linux kernel source). At least my company has benefited from my bugfixes. I can't say that my first experience in trying to submit bugfixes makes me want to contribute to any other Open Source Projects.

On my RH7.1 Linux machine, I downloaded and untarred the java-2 sdk from Sun (java.sun.com), then I just put a soft-link in the/opt/mozilla/plugins directory to point to the libjavaplugin_oji.so file located in the 'jre1.3.1/plugin/i386/ns600' directory. When I start mozilla, it sees the plugin in the directory
1. I've been burned too many times in cases where I've had to pay a full subscription just to see what content is available and find out that the content is garbage.....And I've never gotten my money back.
2. I don't want to pay for content that delivers advertisements on my subscription price. Hardly any content you pay for is ever commercial free.
3. I want the contents on my terms....It does me no good if I can only see the content, but cant save it for reference later. At least when you buy a book, the book doesn't (yet) self-destruct and I have the content whenever I need it.

Huh??
I'm running Mozilla-0.8.1 now. It is actually more stable than any netscape has been for me.
Oh, you're talking about Redhat's reimplementation of it...(IE-If they did like Netscape, they broke it into 2 packages and permanently put a Redhat Startup page you can't get rid of.)
I've got a funny feeling that you're probably one of the newbies that will never understand Linux because you're reading Maximum Linux and still think that Linux works just like Windows...at least this is what Maximum Linux promoted whenever I read the magazine.
You know you could have saved a lot of money by just going to www.linuxnewbie.org and/or www.linux.org to get articles for newbies. Linux Magazine is also slightly better for newbies/users IMO, and they both also have articles that are online. Don't forget the Linux Gazette, www.linuxgazette.com. Yes, these sites also have a lot of technical information, but you don't have to read those technical articles if you don't want (It doesn't cost you anything...except for Linux Magazine print articles). The best part is that the newbie/users articles within these resources try to get you out of the 'works like Windows' frame of mind....and that's worth more than 2 years subscription to Maximum Linux.
Oh, as far as the Free CD goes, you can go to www.cheapbytes.com or www.linuxcentral.com and get several powertools sets for under $5 which is much cheaper than buying an issue Maximum Linux on the newsstand. In fact, I bet Cheapbytes carry Storm Linux too.
$70K for 2 years of experience would be decent in Telecom corridor of Dallas/Richardson, Texas.
For $70K/yr. in California, It would be like living on $30K/yr in Dallas.
I was working at a startup company about a year ago when they started delaying paychecks to everyone...but we weren't fired and we would get paid back wages. After 2 missed paychecks, all of the employees of this company decided that we had done enough volunteering, and it was time to get a new job. I had a much better job in less than a week too.
So what do we classify the Cable Companies as? Many cable operators port scan at regular intervals on their internet cable services to make certain nobody is running a server on their system.
Why would you expect the FCC (the beaureacracy that allowed 2 or 3 companies to buy up all of the radio stations in our country) to not approve this merger?
It's called being able to run KDE's applications under Gnome just as long as I have the qt library installed. I run Kdevelop just fine under Gnome, so I would also hope the KOffice will also run under gnome.
Comprende?
This is disappointing news. I've been running Applixware since the 4.3.7 days when sold by RedHat. Applixware 5.0 was the best yet and I found it to work superior to Office2K, and I definitely like it better than StarOffice 5.x. To me, it was well worth the $100USD price ($50USD is a bargin).
I guess I'll be looking at Koffice when it is ready...hope it runs under both gnome, KDE, and any other desktop I'm in the mood for at the time.
I hope KBasic will really be based on Dartmouth Basic (the basic that existed before Bill Gates), and that the enhancements all the way to GUI type basic build upon the Dartmouth Standard. It would really be nice to see how Dartmouth Basic could have evolved, and, this time, Gates would truely have nothing to do with it.
I'm not developing apps for KDE or GNOME.

KDE Strikes Back
·
· Score: 1
Here's why:
++Development issues:
KDE - One commercial license is prohibitively high cost for me (more than the cost of an RTOS development license).
Gnome - I feel every time I turn around, there's always another missing package I didn't have to make Gnome work. And now I see that I will have the Helixcode licensing fee issues coming up for the future.
++Consideration for my users:
KDE - will install & compile nice enough, but I don't relish having to expain to my users that if they develop an application that they wish to sell, they have to pay high royalties because of QT commercial licensing.
Gnome - Locked into installing binaries since the sheer amount of sources from different packages is very large (and no list exists detailing every package needed). And if my users have my luck, Helixcode will break any existing Gnome installation .
It simply isn't worth it. I'll just stick to Lesstif where I can both make commercial applications without fear of license repurcussions, and it will install on my users machines (binaries or sources) with a minimum of trouble. And if the Lesstif library is on a user's machine, the application I make will also run under KDE or Gnome.

Same question I ask whenever someone brings up Lindows: Why go half-way with Lindows when you can go all the way with Linux?
