Cristoph just got his ego bruised when he realised that releasing his code under the GPL does not automatically guarantee that he'll be given credit
This is wrong, how many programs from the FSF have you seen whithout the FSF credits ? Let's see some points. Firstly from the GPL-Howto:
Whichever license you plan to use, the process involves adding two elements to each source file of your program: a copyright notice (such as "Copyright 1999 Linda Jones"), and a statement of copying permission, saying that the program is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (or the Lesser GPL).
GPL is not public domain, there is a copyright owner.
Secondly, from the GPL:
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an
appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty[...]
and
2.b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
given that
0. This License applies to any program or other work which
contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License.
So the facts are:
a GPL'd thing as an owner mentionned in the copyright notice
the notice must remain accross the distribution chain
Yuk... since when the look of the GUI depends on the coding language ? Try to do a GUI in Java with the Qt extension, and then proove me the same made in C++ is nicer...
A thing to keep in mind is that the system is designed so as the PhD student requires a good amount of knowledge of her/his director in order to achieve his research efficiently.
What this thing condamns is no more than 'a robbery', not the fact that supervisors have some kind of paternity in the discovery.
The active community of BeOS is small yet productive but in an inefficient way. You have BeUnited, OpenBE, BlueOS, someone else ? We are facing branches without a good trunk.
If BeOS is still not dead, and can't see how those divisions could save it.
Please use the same argues with the car industry. Ask them why cars are so fragile, why so much people are killed everyday in car crashes ? Those situations are well knowns, but despite this you're still not driving a tank ?
If you'd like a PDA for daily use as a useful TOOL
My PDA is a useful tool since I don't have to think about what or why it is running. I don't want to listen to kernel or OS upgrade, I don't want to hear about graphic toolkit and so on. What I want is:
power on
a quarter of second later, do some task _quickly_
power off
a quarter of second later, my PDA is out of my view
I don't want a keyboard, I don't want a CLI, I don't want a developper toy for developpers who are only looking for adding bells and whistles to functionnal apps.

Java IDEs?

Regarding the debugging, using a debugger is really a pain in a multithreaded environnement, such as a GUI app, or a servlet. So a good debugger is not what I'm really looking for in a Java IDE. Of course it's useful if you have one procedure to observe and which is not correlated with other things.
But for complicated services, I really prefer to use advanced logging, such with log4j. They also discuss in the documentation the pros and cons between logging and interactive debugging.

It depends on the plane manufacturer. Some design the link engine/wing as explosive in case of emergency, some don't. It's not a generic rule
