Fink KDE is X11, unless I'm much mistaken, and I don't think I am. So the guy up there was complaining he had built KDE through fink (which is almost always X11 stuff), from source, when there were binaries available. The post is about native KDE apps, and I believe this is the first time it has happened. Fink doesn't give you that, cause it's probably not in a CVS repository anywhere.
According to the KDE webpage, as well, an X-Server is required. So this would also be the first time KDE has been built without X11...
Umm... okay, so I figure you don't know about dselect, or apt-get, which ship with fink. They both install binaries from the fink distribution, without the need to build from source.
Just to check, I went into dselect, and lo and behold, KDE, pre-built, as binaries, is available. Saves ya lots of time. Not everything is available as binaries, but a large portion of them are.
1. Standing upright, turn to face the opposite direction, without continuing to turn, pausing part way through, or walking off afterwards. 2. Remove all clothing, such that you are naked from the waist down, putting that clothing somewhere out of reach. 3. Bend at the hips, optionally steadying yourself with your hands, to form a 90 degree angle. 4. Turn head to the right. 5. Cough.
Actually, there was someone who managed an 8MB upgrade! 2MB is the max for the CoCo 3's built-in memory controller, the 8MB upgrade involved having new registers.:)
Well, how you think of some of these concepts might make it harder to believe than it really is.
The multi-tasking is cooperative, so programs need to yield time to allow other processes to run. The programs are all compiled together, so they each get their own individual space in memory.
Being that everything is compiled together, the themes are compile-time options.
Multiple hardware platforms isn't so hard. It's written in C, and doesn't rely on machine specifics, except in the libraries it includes. This would be the cc65 libraries, in the case of the C64 version.
It's using the cc65 compiler, available here. My TRS-80 CoCo 3 port will use gcc, however, since I took the time to look at some old work done on targeting the 6809 with gcc.
I'm just curious, if it has to answer that sort of question, with the right answer, then it goes beyond human, since most people do not do calculus. As I see it, however, it should be able to answer the question, at least with a "calculus isn't really my strong suit"
I think the only difference, generally, between the two, is nomenclature. Although scripting languages are generally interpreted, all in all, there isn't too much difference.
So the name comes up as the big deciding factor. You call yourself a scripter, you're actually limiting yourself in the eyes of those who want to see a difference between scripts and "programmed" software. I've actually found a lot of resistance among people who write in scripting languages to call themselves programmers, even when, by rights, they do the exact same tasks.
Of course, no one ever stops to question when a programmer writes in a scripting language... except maybe to say "why are you bothering with that garbage?"
Microsoft owns nowhere near 51% of Apple's shares. The shares they bought in 1996 were a) non-voting and b) maybe a percent, at the very most. Although I believe the shares have been converted to voting shares at this point, but still, incredibly far from being controlling shares. Not to say Microsoft still doesn't hold sway over Apple in some way.
And why not? Oh wait... not everyone has the same fascination with antiques as I do... In any case, the point is, there are better gifts than diamonds. As far as gifts go, diamonds are rather shallow. They say something like "Everyone else is doing it, so I figured I'd do it too." What a way to show your love.
Seriously... but make sure she's cool with it first. It's utilitarian, it's fun, and if you're as big a geek as I am, it's meaningful. I've given one myself to seal an engagement, and she was happy with it. The problem is, it's harder to get back when you break it off down the road. hehe...
I see your nick is aCapitalist. Then I assume you think Microsoft should be destroyed, since it represents the end of capitalism.
In any case, we kill animals, right? And very few people are saying we should change that. Aren't we also animals? Especially if we're capitalists. Capitalism is the animal ideal, true competition and freedom from regulation (whether from state or monopolies). Therefore, capitalists should be all for killing humans, if it promotes competition and progress.
Of course, if you're a Christian, you have no right to call yourself a capilist as well. This is due to the fact that Christ preached communism. If you disagree, go read the New Testament more carefully.
Well, when you look at it, it gives a more balanced perspective of war. And it takes advantage of the biggest seller of top-of-the-line games: playing with others. So, it's really a 21st century update to a 20th century game.
OK, I'll rephrase this, so that it doesn't just make you dirty, but maybe smacks some sense into you. In a certain sense, it was their own damn fault. Flaunting power, and abusing it, and aiding and abetting it, is unconscionable.
Sure, maybe there were innocents in there, and yes, any loss of life is bad. But people are only looking into their grief, and feelings of revenge, and not even condering whether or not they were in some sense culpable.
The american press likes to point fingers outside of the US, without trying to analyze whether or not it's actually americans who are the problem.
How many news stories from US sources covered the violent acts against american muslims? These are innocent, american citizens, who are now being attacked by so-called 'innocent' americans, just because they have some sort of religious link to the nutjobs who planned this.
I wish it had been domestic terrorists. I really do. Then maybe it would have smacked some sense into the american people, and maybe have made them question their own righteousness.
I just hope those people didn't die in vain, and that it might wake up the american consciousness to their own problems.
I feel sadness for the people who died. I mourn their loss.
At the same time, I blame the US government, as much as the terrorists for this act. The US government has a horrible track record of perpetrating acts of violence and oppression (feeding Indonesia weapons to oppress East Timor) with one hand, while condemning the acts of others (Cambodia's Khmer Rouge) with the other.
And who suffers here? The people, because they are too ignorant to realize that the kind of governments they put into power cause death, sometimes (and frequently) their own.
So get off your high horse until the US government perpetrates peace, other than through pax imperia.
What's surprising here isn't the issue itself, it's how the moderation system has filtered out all anti-corporate sentiment...
It seems to me, that no matter the government's true intention, that if their actions benefit their people, then corporate rights be damned.
Ooh... poor little pharmaceutical company can't get its inane quantities of profit off a life-saving drug... well they can just go and get it off their useless drugs, like Viagra...
These companies should be subsidizing life-saving drugs, and giving them away, simply for the priviledge of being allowed to keep their corporate charters. Companies cannot continue to exist for their own benefit, they have to be accountable to the public, and of service to the public.
And who cares about the government, really. Castrate the corporations, and you'll see a lot more good coming out of them (governments)...

The question I think the previous poster was trying to bring up was "the hill isn't even there." Just a guess.
In all reality, I think the hard atheist take on it is that there is no hill, and that the journey upwards is hallucinatory, in a sense.

Yeah, that's at least the budget of a small, independent film... you could do almost 3 Blair Witch Projects with that cash...

The Coco 3 has a factory amount of 128k RAM... are you sure it's a III and not a II?
It's using the cc65 compiler, available here. My TRS-80 CoCo 3 port will use gcc, however, since I took the time to look at some old work done on targeting the 6809 with gcc.
The submitter is the original author of the program... My guess is he sent the same news brief to the various places.

And I thought my job working for Vector Marketing, selling Cutco knives was unethical (network marketing... ugh)
