just going on memory here, so feel free to correct me.
microsoft was, in fact, the principal developer (or a co-developer?) of OS/2 for IBM, and IBM sold the original versions under Microsoft's name. then Microsoft split off and went their own direction and developed Windows 3 based on their work on OS/2.
something like that. i do know that as late as Windows 2000, there are OS/2 compatibility libraries hiding in the system folder. i also remember hearing about some spat between IBM and MS over ownership of OS/2 source. maybe i'm just dreaming. i am pretty tired. (and far too lazy to go read the wikipedia entry.)
however, i see Blu-ray as an excellt technological achievement. not all Blu-ray discs will have DRM. this is especially the case when single-layer Blu-ray writer drives hit the market in force. who doesn't want to store 25+GiB on a single disc?
i'm behind this format because it's technically very good. i'm against the DRM it mandates for movies, but there is little we can do about that short of a boycott.
my plan: buy a Blu-ray writer when they become affordable and hold out on movies until pirated stuff becomes common fare - because by then, DRM issues are moot.
X and Y are index registers, and they aren't used in calculations or any "real work," just primarily for adddressing memory. (though, admittedly, some basic instructions provided for X and Y could be used for "real work" if you feel like juggling registers.)
i was fortunate enough to see first-hand a prototype of a broadband LAN link (i forget what it's called) that at the time was capable of 800Mb/sec data transmissions with high efficiency when 1Gb links were still a year or so away. it was a chained network that avoided the problem of collisions by providing a direct connection from one computer to any other. the cable was about 0.5m long, but was a 24-line ribbon cable, and claimed to provide "100% efficiency" for over 200 computers. you could tell it was a prototype just by looking at the PCI cards. i think i wondered aloud how they got all that data on and off the PCI bus.
interesting at any rate.
by now, they've likely got it doing 16Gb/sec connections on higher-quality cables.

instant folgers and other such "coffee" substitutes are made from beans which have been over-roasted, improperly ground, and added to water that isn't an appropriate temperature, then it's rapidly freeze-dried to produce the "instant" granules.

either you use a decrepit or old distribution or you're jsut behind on the times. Linux is far easier to use these days - even grandparents can learn to use it, despite the technology gap.
to me, the "it's too hard" argument just doesn't fly any more. it did once. not now. not for a while now. if "it's too hard" for you, then you're the problem. not Linux.

Why do these defendents' attorneys think they have to walk on flowers, when the plaintiffs' attorneys are lauching mortar attacks?
oh, i can tell you. from experience.
they're gathering for themselves experience and testing methods for their promotion to a position as a state or federal attorney.
at least, that's what happened to me and my father when we tried to sue the local police for damages for an illegal arrest - an arrest made on hearsay. our lawyer for our admittedly minor case only took the case for the brief time he did to learn how to fight cases like ours as a state attorney.
this only adds to my belief that lawyers are useless, worthless scum that can't be trusted with the air they breathe.
every time i've used grub, i've lost the contents of my/boot partition on reboot. don't even suggest that it might not be mounted! upon next reboot, it doesn't boot.
that one bad experience is all i need to stop using grub.
i've been using e17 for months now. i have had e17 crash on me. it actually very pleasantly shows you a white text screen that informs you that enlightenment has crashed and asks if you want to restart, exit, or debug. if you select restart, it reinitializes e17 and you can pick up right where you left off.
but you're right. it's not ready for mass consumption. but it's coming very close and is right now as usable as e16.
I had assumed that you were saying that the io-*.c stuff was wrappers that linked to imlib the exact quote is "Gnome-terminal has the added advantage of using imlib2" (which I knew to be false), why else mention where the imlib source is located if you weren't implying gtk links against it? And why mention imlib2 at all?
because, put simply, imlib2 has no relation to imlib except by way of history. imlib2 is a complete rewrite of imlib. and, as you have both shown, gdk-pixbuf is a derivative work of the original imlib.
i've heard that Evas also scales down to run on PDAs of varying power. not to mention Evas natively supports DirectFB, making it usable for graphics on the command-line terminals.
I like the engage launcher/tray better than the default ibar. You can enable it as a module with these commands:
$ enlightenment_remote -module-unload ibar (not essential, but having both is rather redundant) $ enlightenment_remote -module-load engage $ enlightenment_remote -module-enable engage
I also edited the data/themes/module/images/bg_[hv].png files in the engage source before compiling to be completely transparent (instead of 65% opaque) to remove the (in my opinion) ugly background rectangle on my engage bar. I think get-e.org had another solution for this which involved editing the module.ecj file, instead, which probably would have been easier had I known to do it before I did the install. >8)
i take a bit of a different tact. i keep both the ibar and engage around. i settled on this for my normal configuration:
I've been running E17 from that repository for a while now (On FC3) and I really like it. I still use E16 as my primary window manager because E17 is missing a few things I use (like remembering where windows go and a few other things) but it is really nice.
got good news for you then! window memory was implemented a couple of weeks ago. as were a lot of other must-have features from e16.
also, you can edit the menu itself in ~/.e/e/applications/ wherein you can find engage's sticky icons, your icon bar, startup apps, apps to run on restart, as well as your favorites menu.
i've been happily using e17 for a couple months, keeping up with all the major CVS changes. (of course, i'm subscribed to the CVS list so i can keep track of it all.)

AFAIK, in a few states, yes. interestingly, in Washington state, it's legal to discriminate based on beauty.
but apples and oranges are not so dissimilar...
