I'm not sure if this will be a very popular question, but I'm always interrested in why people have chosen the GNU GPL.
Developed under the GPL, you have no need to worry about obsolescence: GnuCash will be there for you.
The GPL expresses many ideals, and there is a differing philosophy between Free Software the Open Source. Perhaps that's a bit broad, but what are your ideals and how do they relate to the GPL?
I must say, I have silently criticised (or laughed) at some of timothy's antics in the past, however at least he remembers the GNU in Linux. Thanks Tim!
I'm not going to lower myself with a First Post!
Ironically it is, sorta. I'm disappointed in this, but they've had the ability to do 'scripts' for ages. ) :
Attacking a criticism says something about the author, who put his intellectual property in the public domain.
Also, a simple analysis of this situation (being between this response, the critique and the original publication) is (in chronological order): 'this is my opinion,' and then, 'criticise! he makes stupid associations!' to 'they're good associations!'
Maybe I'm just disillusioned, but I have more fun playing with people I know and trust then strangers. Strangers cheat.
My Spanish friend said the other day: "I don't talk to people I don't know." I guess it's a more european perspective, but it's true - You can trust people you know.
I deal with a lot of customers in my industry, and I've always had a passion for English and literature, so language anaylsis is a subconscious reaction I have quite often.
Anybody know any AOL users who have tried it yet?
This comment certainly assumes that no/. users are AOL users! *gasp* Is this true?!?!
Simple, but genuine comment: Thank God for open source. This move from Microsoft can only reduce their popularity, and perhaps more persons (both for personal use and business use) may choose another open and free platform. The culture that writes their own software for the greater good can only grow.
I thoroughly miss Bulletin Boards where there was _always_ a good conversation on topics common to all visitors. Lucky we have/., but it still isn't the same as the likes of Star Ship BBS and other tacky-named Star Trek ones:) Not to mention all of the free games!
Sad, yes, but this is another case where/. is pulling news off other sites (and not giving credit), only this time I read it so long ago I can't remember. Anyhow, I used to work in community radio, and the laws differ between each state in the world, but if you use something like 20 seconds (I didn't do programming so I don't know exactly) but it was not considered royalty-eligable use of the copyright.
Now, just how long do you let your phone ring for? Just enough for everyone to notice, or do you hold it up for a while before answering just to piss off the other commuters on your bus route?
And also, it increases awareness for the 'song' - Most of the ones used are trashy modern pop songs that I genuinely say, "who the f' wrote that?" and of course everyone looks at me like I'm strange...
I feared it was a HAL9000 derivative, but it must've made a mistake in thinking the transmission device was damaged. But no 9000 series computer has ever made a mistake...
But then, it's not powered by IBM. : )
I believe I speak for all when I say that we wish you the best of luck in getting your dealings with the lawyors to work better than those damn JVMs. My ex-girlfriend's dad is a lawyor, so I've had my fair share of dealings with them. cPython all the way!
In Australia, we all like to point and laugh and the major short-comings of the United States, like, ummm, George Bush's decision not to follow the international convention regarding fuel emisions because it will hurt the American Economy. The USA emits approximately 30% of the worlds fuel emissions, and Australia a mere 1.5%.
Well if anything, this violates your first ammendment (from what I can remember from damn commercial television *smile*). Freedom of speech?
I work for a cinema in Sydney, Australia, and we're running the print for Memento, and it is bizzare. Some people (the crowd we get are usually nice) have approached me after seeing the film, and one guy said: "That movie is a f'ing scam! If I don't see it again, I'll never understand a f'ing thing." - and yes, that was in jest.
Us geeks achieved solar powered clothing years ago! First we had propeller baseball caps, a fashion statement that transcended decades, and then went electric with solar around about 1982. Some even had fans embedded in the peak to keep you cool whilst coding in the sun!

Wow, just think of the HAL 9000 that can populate with it's twin back on earth! Yes, that is incest and will probably result in some imperfections, however evolution will prevail. Let's hope that IBM doesn't license this, or else the truthful prophecy of Clarke and Kubrick will be very trippy indeed. I don't remember anyone else making the HAL -> IBM distinction during the recent stint of/. articles on 2001 in 2001. Wow...

Houston we have a problem! There is none of our population left to send into space. ( :
I live in Australia. We don't do stupid things. </sarcasm> Well, at least they don't tell us about them (I have to read about them Here ).
From my question (printed in this article):
Well I thought this was a mis-print, so I went to my original post and it was also like this! I swear I wrote it proper!. Was supposed to read:Is /. compressing their dbs? ( :
In Australia, I watch everything on the ABC and SBS (which recently won an international multicultural exposure award.
Sadly, the commercial stations do have The Sopranos, and Voyager & DS9, so I tape these (it's analogue I know, but hey).
But The Bill (greatest show in the world) in on the ABC ( :

OPEN SOURCE means there's nothing to steal? Unless the modified code *gasp*, but you _do_ have backups... right?
/. backs up! ( :

Ironically, I had an interview today for a training course specifically aimed towards IBM Mainframe Operating with OS/390. One of those ironies eh?

Now if you could only use the toaster dials to change the CPU clock and FSB speed. Forget Abit's SoftMenu, now we have physical controls!

Are you this man? If not, are you in any way related to him, and could you please explain.
Hopefully this question covers the Australian fan niche.
