The answer if you can't handle Linux being bound to GPL2 when the rest of the world goes GPL3, is to drop Linux for a GPL3-compatible system. Don't get me wrong, I like Linux, but maybe this will cause a lot of movement from Linux, not to Hurd - Hurd is still shit - but to FreeBSD, which is the next best thing to Linux and the license ought to be compatible with any version of the GPL.
And besides. In this "GPL vs Proprietary! White vs Black!" debate that's been going on past 15-aught years, I've sided with NetBSD.
How many roads must a man walk down Before they call him a man How many seas must a white dove sail Before she sleeps in the sand How many times must the cannonballs fly Before they are forever banned The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind The answer is blowing in the wind
All in when you start. I'd say if kids start IM'ing before they've developed proper English, IM-lish is going to taint their written English, but if they've developed proper English first - 5th grade's long enough I think - no problem, they should be able to tell the difference; like reality/fantasy separation - if you reach that point and can't tell the diff, something's seriously wrong with you.
Computers in schools are overrated. We need TEACHERS to TEACH. Not to mention the price of maintaining the computers is obscene - especially if you live in a district where the computers are likely to get ripped off, sold for drugs or destroyed.
We don't need more than one computer per classroom - for the teacher to use to do her own job.
There was a shareware Tetris clone for DOS, that unfortunately shares its name with the online Tetris clone Netris. I call it Nyetris or Notris instead. It had the same pieces as Tetris, plus bombs (small and large), guns, compactors and inverters.
If I were a better programmer, I could make the project I've wanted: an update of GNUstep to be more library-compatible with OSX, and an OS using it with Darwin.
When I go to the store that has self-checkout I use it, but only if it's all scannable items. If I can't scan something, I check out the old-fashioned way. And I do not recommend it to anyone else. It's for geeks who can scan fast and like tech. not for Jane Average.
Is an income of $690 a month in the US middle class? (I would assume not, since I'm entitled to food stamps.) Yet I have a reasonably fast broadband connection and a relatively new computer. I live damn high off the hog for my income and yet don't have a fucking penny of debt. Fucking proud of it too.

That's not what GEM looked like prior to 1999.

I'd be willing to maintain such a project, if I could actually contribute to it (but it's so far over my head it's scary).

I'd just like to see more OSX capability in GNUSTEP, so that we can have a free and open OSX as we're getting a free and open Windoze in ReactOS.

The thing is you can convert BSD license to GPL license. There's nothing stopping you from doing that.

You can't always assume the customer is always right... sometimes they're just wrong and you just have to let them know. It's all you can do. :/

Half those rules are unnatural to English and Germanic languages anyway, but are just people trying to apply Latin grammar rules to English.

I believe they're ideal and should be used everywhere. They're THE system here in New York State, anywhere I've been.

And yet hasn't OS/2 come with this functionality for years? Once again M$ is just playing catchup to IBM.

Now that I can see being a problem. I would have tried porting AppleWin to Linux but it does a lot of VC-specific things.

I found mingw and cygwin remarkably easy to get running, so "whatchu talkin' 'bout Willis?"

I wish there were an SDL version. xD

Depends on the game really. For 1:1 fighters and FPSes, and platformers, yeah. I like a story. But games like Tetris, nah.

3.1 (Sarge) was a breeze to install. Did it twice. Almost as easy as Ubuntu.

Anna Konda eh? Anaconda, anyone? (Sounds clever to me)
Sounds interesting, but has it been tested yet? Things tend to bork mysteriously if they haven't been tested.
