Well.. sure, normally choice leads to innovation, but not in this case. This is about koffice vs. goffice. You don't choose koffice because it's better than the gnome apps, you choose it because kde happens to be your desktop. kde vs. gnome is good. That leads to innovation for your desktop environment. gapplication vs. kapplication is very wrong if you ask me.
Hmm.. I keep on making this argument over and over again.:-(
Oh.. if only applications were 'desktop environment independent'. Unix has a history of having lots of tools doing useful stuff, which can be combined in lots of useful ways. I wish graphical applications were more like that. I don't like the idea of having a "gapplication" and a "kapplication" for everything. That's a lot of unnecessary duplication if you ask me.
I thought that the questions with the highest scores would be sent to the person that's being interviewed.
However, I notice that Havoc answers questions that had a score of 3, while a lot of the questions with score of 4 are not answered. Does the person who is interviewed select the final questions?
Hello, I like both KDE and Gnome very much, but still something worries me: What if a company wants to release software (e.g. Borland releasing Delphi) for Linux and they want their stuff to interoperate with other applications (like cut and paste or DND)... It looks like they are going to have to implement both KDE and Gnome stuff to operate with all popular applications. Or is there any effort to fully standardise things like application interoperation? (I once submitted this as an Ask Slashdot question for more general discussion, but I think it looked too much KDE/Gnome war provoking..) Greetings, Ivo
It's great to have it *at least* Red Hat certified. But it would be even greater if it was "Linux Compatible"..
Does maybe the LSB have any plans on certifying third party stuff as Linux Compatible? If anyone can independently certify something as being Linux compatible, I think it must be them.
What does being from Europe have to do with using Delphi? I'm from Europe, and even I was surprised by the results that Delphi got. Of all the programmers I know (quote a lot) only very few use Delphi.

I think this installation is targeted at people who don't have a kernel yet, so that shouldn't be a problem.
Does anybody know where to get these European versions? I've been looking for things like this for quite some time, but couldn't find any 220V versions..
But still, doesn't article 4 of the osd ("the license may restrict source-code from being distributed in modified form only if the license allows the distribution of "patch files" with the source code for the purpose of modifying the program at build time.") still apply?
I was thinking, when MS was 'embracing and extending' java, Sun could sue them for it, but I think the GPL explicitly gives MS the right to take perl and change it. (I nevertheless expect a lot of 'oh no! we must stop them!' posts.)
One thing though, if they do this, they must release the source to their modifications (don't they?). Will be the first time that MS releases something that 'takes advantage of their platform' as source.
Hmm.. and if they don't release the source code, then we might see the first legal fight involving the GPL (remember the thread a while back stating that the GPL has never been tested in court?)

This leads to innovation?
:-(

And what if someone doesn't use KDE?
Oh.. if only applications were 'desktop environment independent'. Unix has a history of having lots of tools doing useful stuff, which can be combined in lots of useful ways. I wish graphical applications were more like that.

But hey, that's just me.

Hi,
maybe this is what you're looking for:

(It hasn't got mp3 support yet, but I think it's coming soon.)

I'd like these to be full screen and blue if possible. Just for fun.

ARGH Shame on me!!
I hereby deeply appologise for not using the preview button (otherwise I would've seen that I should've used "Plain Old Text")..
Anywayz.. question itself is still valid.

It's in SP4 too. But in SP4 they removed the debug symbols correctly so that you can't *SEE* it.
:-)
In SP5 they made some mistake, due to which the alleged backdoor can be seen.
I still don't believe it's really a backdoor though until I see some proof of that, but hey, it's nice pro-Linux press.

Hmm..
hotmail's cgi-scripts seem to be taken down.. hope they manage to fix the bug soon.
