moc exists only because older c++ compilers could not compile anything like boost's "signals2" library. Now every c++ compiler available supports templates enough to make moc redundant and silly. And in fact signals2 is more featureful than moc's signals and slots implementation.
Not only that, but I've designed products using a touch pad just like this back in 1989! It was a two-dimensional touch pad with a 68hc11 microcontroller in it which outputted MIDI to a synthesizer. The location of your touch determined the pitch and sound and the velocity of your touch determined the amplitude and the pressure afterwards determined the low frequency oscillator modulation. See a funny video of me playing it at http://www.turnercom.com/compositions-etc/Kit-100.html

I'm sure kernel.org appreciates these links. Now instead of fixing the bug they're putting out fires in the data center...great job slashdot.
Well, maybe the kernel developers or bugzilla developers could use the practice in making a reliable scalable system out of the systems that they design.
One reason they should care is when you start watching porn or something seen as offensive to someone else that you work with who is accidently exposed to what you are watching.
This exposes the company to potential lawsuits for sexual harassment/discrimination/unsafe workplace etc.
I said 'supporting', not 'using'. This means help troubleshoot it, fix it, update it, make the code better. Hey even the hardware design is open source.
Ah, but the problem is that I need a compute cloud which reads lots of data, decrypts it, transforms it mathematically in parallel, and then re-encrypts it. Even with public key encryption, we still need the nodes in the compute cloud to be able to decrypt the data. So same problem, the key can be exposed and therefore the data is too.
Is there something that stops you from encrypting information before putting it on the cloud?
Well, yes... The usual point of the cloud is not just storage... it is computations. I use amazon S3 for encrypted and unencrypted storage, but the Elastic Compute Cloud virtual machines need to be able to decrypt it when necessary. So if the cloud is doing work on the data it needs it to be decrypted.
One time I was driving to Vancouver on Highway 1, completely in Canada, and when the highway got closer to the border I would get a text message on my cell phone saying 'welcome to the U.S. Roaming charges will apply through AT&T" and I wasn't even close to a border crossing!
If I didn't notice it and was doing a data download, I would have been charged big bucks and would probably have no recourse.
This law could also be used to generate more money for developers by suing people or companies violating the copyright of GPL'd software when they don't comply with the GPL requirements...

Your simple program called fork() and it compiled on Visual Studio 2005???

FWIW, I am the author of the Internet Filter and have just blogged about all this.

I wonder if ext4 performs better with SSD's? Or if ext4 doesn't need an occasional fsck like ext3 does?

Babel = Babylon
The form Babylon is the Greek variant of Akkadian Babilu (bÄb-ilÃ, meaning "Gateway of the god(s)", translating Sumerian Ka.dingir.ra). In the Bible, the name appears as ×'×'×oe (Babel), interpreted by Book of Genesis 11:9 to mean "confusion" (of languages), from the verb balbal, "to confuse".

Since it is your license plate that the camera picks up, you get the speeding ticket.

actually that is a good question. Why is mingw version stuck in 3.4 when I'm running 4.2 on mac and 4.3 on debian lenny?
does anyone know?

How old are you mr. speedtux?
I run more linux servers and contribute more to GPL products than you do!
Are you actually involved in the FSF?!!!??/
I hope not.

Can you recommend any good references or books or tutorials for the beginner? How did you learn?

Wow! Thanks for the info on Redmine!
I'm currently using Trac with the multirepos branch, svn and Mercurial. This works well with multiple projects but the install was not so slick.

Apple's products have nothing to do with civil rights.
I support FSF promoting positive change. This is not the way to go about things.
It is unfortunate that the fsf is succumbing to such negative activist group-think.
And i have the freedom to oppose them, and support individual GPL projects directly instead.
If the FSF continues these kinds of wastes of energy, that is their choice, but they will become irrelevant themselves.
