frankly, there's no problem with that. I for one don't want a linux world domination. People who use proprietary software aren't forced to move to linux at all and that's fine as it is.
This is very subjective. But the way I see it, this may have reduced the number of people playing music, but on the other hand, technology enabled lots of people to create music. If you do a little check on the internet, you'll find lots of people doing music, even innovative stuff and the current technology played a big role in that.
sid rocks while coding....and delta, this tune really kick ass. (and I didn't even have a c64) for really computer sounding music, gotta check www.chiptune.com this site got all styles of chip modules, synthetic ones...
hey, give a listen to all the new trackers out there:) radix, norfair, warder, mellow-d, latest distance's stuff, brothomStates (ex-dune), hunz! and lots of others...
If we want to stay oldschool, dizzy, heatbeat, audiomonster, don cato, d0h, leviathan, nao... are also very good.
this just doesn't make sense. I don't know of any country that didn't have any measurement unit before the metric system was invented. For example here in France we had units very similar to the anglosaxons' ones. Everyone was dropped when they created the metric system.
That's the premiss to all what made Linux possible. Electronical/Intellectual Property is completly unrelated to 'Real', 'Physical' property.
You advise people not to compare DARE and this program, but make a gross comparaison between crackers and robbers on the only fact that you find their behaviour equally wrong.
Then I feel authorised to say that Cars are Guns, because they both kill peoples. And I could make a lot of silly analogies like this.
Of course you forget that the final stage of the communism ideology (at least for the non-stalinian) was the 'applied communism' which is basically a form of anarchy. (the masses are in control)
The person who live thru the use of free software let his interests be fulfilled (and controlled) by an oligarchy of programmers.
yes you can rearrange things automatically, it supports scripting for window manipulation trough IPC messages. There's a shell, eesh which accepts command like iconify, moving, resizing, provide informations about windows and so on... you can then do your scripts in whatever languages that please you (there are examples in perl in the latest (cvs) release) (and it has an autoarrange feature)
You can also makes it remember where you place your applications windows (location, size, desktop)
I don't think more desktops will make you're window manager crawl, the question here is more about memory than cpu speed. (and I think I saw a screenshot at e.themes.org of a screen with 64 desktops:)
E is useable on a lot of cpu, I used it fairly well on a p100 with an old cirrus (5434) card.:)
I don't know about the MDI fonctionnalities of the windows's applications but all this sounds good to me:)
I'm sure EGCS is considered derivative work of GCC, so the exception would have been applied to egcs too.
The exception is granted to a generic software called 'Gnu compiler'. It certainly includes all derivative works. (If not, there would have been a specific version number in each C library as technically, each new version of the gnu c compiler is a derivative work)
There's nevertheless a license problem in the Libc as I don't see what makes the FSF different from me regarding the GPL, and they explicitely forbid all modifications/additions of their license.

Personnaly I found enlightenment very suitable for my use of the GIMP, I give the gimp a whole virtual desktop, 2 screen wide.
On the left I have my working area, with all the pix I need, all the zooms, and dialogs, and on the right screen I put a 1:1 screen of the picture I'm working on. (removing the guides and selections with ctrl-shift-t and ctrl-t.
I then just constantly switch between the screens.
Another possible setup: in Enlightenment you can bring a desktop part above the current desktop, by sliding it. If you are low on space, you can put the gimp dialogs and tools' windows in another desktop, and just slide it when you need too.
I constantly hear from people that they can't learn another software, it's too hard to learn it again, and so on, either about Gimp/Photoshop or (it's my domain) musical software.
You have all to realise that the concepts are really the same, it's just a matter of passing one week with the program to know where the things are.
Sometimes I feel like you are all so old that your neuronal network is completly blocked on a scheme:)
And it never hurts to let your neurons exercise and learn to use another device... sometimes I think of it as a survival guide. Being able to use any software help not to be blocked when you're not on your own system and you have some work to finish..

You're confused. The free we're talking about is not the free as free beer.
It's natural, and a Good Thing (tm) to be able to make money with the Gimp. That's one of the important aspect of the gpl.
I don't think it's really that important as a customer to pay and only have in return the permission to use a technology. They'd better give a real service for the money their customers pay, like technical support, and the insurance they will continue developping the algo, and derived formats.
I just don't know if they provide those. If not...
Consciousness. Intelligence. Those are vaporous concepts.
Judging by what you've said you're one of those believers of the idea that humans have consciousness and intelligence wheras animals and to a lesser degree ai don't have any?
To me that's seems like the common ego-boosting stuff which comes from 'evidences' like the fact that the sun revolves around the earth.
The only definition of consciousness I can come with is something in the line of being conscious about your own unicity. This is really vague, and wrong.. (since you use the same concept of consciousness to explains it)
anyway to me, "consciousness" is one of the thing you can think you have, but will invariably fail to proove for anyone else. (anyone including animals...)
Yes I'm quite sure most of my reactions are more due to some programmed (chaotic ok) behaviour than some meta-exo-abstract highlevel concept like "Intelligence"
One of the characteristic of western art is persistence. Closed source software can't guarantee it, because a company is not immortal.
We can also argue wether closed source software, binaries, have a real existence of their own. Remember, they are just services, not products. That's all the reasoning around the closedsource license.
On another hand, an open source program is here to stay, and by definition is meant to be studied, read, manipulated. That's also the goal of any piece of art.
Not that OOP is a bad thing, but not all programmers can program OOP (its true!). It has something to do with the ability to abstract I believe, and many programmers like to think of things as one thing after another and what they will actually do, not where they came from.
The abstraction doesn't comme from OOP usually.
What are you manipulating? 'objects' They are either abstract or real, but they are still familiar things. And inheritance is a very common process, that's a bit the way we organise our Thinking. (analogy, inheritance links between facts and concepts)
If you really want an abstraction ride, rather try a functionnal language. And with most ones you can still do OOP. (clisp, haskell,...)

the music scene rules:
there's no greetings order
don't forget the very good individuals, they are too many too list... check ftp.scene.org/pub/music/artists/
get active...
héhé no, at least it brought us the occasion to advocate the scene ;)
seems like the demoscene just invaded slashdot ;)
I will just give you links you should follow if you want to see impressive quick, small 3d rendering code:
I have more links on my page, see the DemosSelection link.
