Seriously, under what licensing stipulations can they force you to pay for a license if you are using the GPLed version of QT, internal or otherwise, and you comply with the GPL 100%? As far as im aware, they cant stop you using the GPL version for internal products, as wouldnt that restriction itself be a breach of the GPL? Note that if the company is using it internally, it doesnt have to provide the source to the end users, as they are deemed to be part of the company and therefor the company is distributing to itself.
The only way to have a remote desktop similar to Terminal Services was to use VNC, what about a remote X session?
Just a minor nitpick, but one of the main reasons i use Terminal Services on windows and VNC on X desktops is the ability to disconnect and leave applications running, and return to them at a later date. Im under the impression that you cannot do this cleanly with X. Remote X definately is more useful for exporting individual applications, rather than an entire desktop.
While switching to linux on the desktop over the past few days, I found myself with a situation that should have been easy to solve.
I had installed KDE3.2.1, Firefox 0.7 and Thunderbird 0.5. All worked perfectly, but only Firefox had a consistent UI with KDE, Thunderbirds UI was mainly messed up by fonts, which were 1/2 the size of Firefoxes (which is interesting, considering they come from a common source). I hunted high and low for a solution, to get Thunderbirds and Firefoxes UI fonts to look similiar, but the only solution presented anywhere was to install the Gnome Control center, which through I could alter the font sizes.
This solution proved less than satisfactory, since you cant JUST install the control center, half of gnome wants to come as well. So I eventually solved it myself, hacking the userChrome.xul file and altering the font styles there.
The thing I want to know is, why isnt this user configurable from WITHIN thunderbird itself? None of the extensions I installed gave me the option (and indeed, AdvancedOptions extension installed but crashed the app each time it was run.).
Bearing this in mind, I updated to firefox 0.8 and this time the fonts in firefox turned out to be screwed, so i embarked on the same fix, which worked. So obviously the same UI stuff works in both, so why isnt it possible to set these options from within the apps themselves?
Ok end of rant, I must admit my linux desktop looks fantastic, and the font usage within firefox makes webpages look georgous (i never thought slashdot could look so good!). My only wish now is for a browser that emulated IE, so I can test webpages that I produce. Until this happens, Im stuck with Windows on a few of my systems.
Finally, congratulations to both the FireFox team and the Thunderbird team. Now if someone would do the same as these two projects but for the Mozilla Calendar app, I think we could have a fantastic trio of applications. (I know I keep saying "someone" or "why cant", I would myself, but after looking into the mozilla source once, I had nightmares for weeks afterward. Its not nice:) )
And at least one former prime minister was a Communist Spy (in a loose sense of the word, he was a covert member of the Communist Party, and passed information on while in office).
The UK and the EU situation is sort of like a Priest and a Prostitute. The priest may be caught with his cock half in the prostitute, and he may have a delighted look on his face. But the priest will always deny that he was paying the prostitute and that he was gaining any pleasure from having his cock inside her.
As a nation, we love the hand outs the EU gives us, we love the trade rules the EU gives us (most of the time, the fishing industry disagrees, but then when dont they?). We also love all the other benefits from being part of the EU. We dislike, however, the EU taking money from us, ruling agianst us, forcing us to implement laws that draw us in line with the rest of the EU nations, we hate them forcing us to be nice to EU migrant workers.
Essentially, we are half in and half out, with half the nation wanting to plunge all the way in, and the other half wanting to withdraw. Messy situation.
We have a document at work which is created in Gill Sans, and unfortunately I cannot install this font on my system for reasons I will not go into. If I open the document on my machine, which has its default set to Arial, the page numbering comes out as "Page 5 of 3", as the differences in the fonts screw up the page layout, BUT DOESNT ALTER THE NUMBERING!!!
Industries the government should have no right to regulate:
Operating Systems (Hardly one monopoly, since within 5 miles of my current location, I can enter 4 shops which will sell me a computer with an OS other than one produced by MS, at no markup and usually with a considerable discount. Interesting, considering there are only 4 computer related shops in 5 miles of my current location.)

Broadband: Luxury, you have no need for one to live.

The government should stick to regulating the industries that provide a basic level of living for consumers, that being the medical industry, basic roads and transport services, the military, food production and dissemination, and others. The government should not get involved in regulating those industries that can only be described as luxury producers.
Actually, MS developed the initial versions of Terminal server, and sold the code and license off to Citrix. They then licensed back Terminal server after Citrix had done some development on it, giving Citrix a yearly payment in return. Citrix still owns metaframe and terminal server, and has rights to use it whatever way it wants. In what way is this different to what Intel does, IBM does or any other major business does?
No, Kazaa lite was removed because it was a hacked/modified version of the proper kazaa program, and thus was (oh get the irony!) infringing copyright, which is why it was shut down.
- The jet engines from your aircraft (invented by Sir Frank Whittle in Britain in 1945)
While I agree entirely, Whittle had a jet powered aircraft flying in the mid 1930s. And Germany had operational jet fighters and bombers in service in 1943/44. Just a minor nitpick:)
Means nothing of the sort, MS can still sell in selected countries as this is the _EU_ that is imposing the fine. Contrary to popular belief, the EU isnt all of europe, and indeed some member states get along fine doing their own thing outside of the EU while benefiting from membership.
In this case, its a $2million package for Hubble, which is going to cost you somewhere in the region of $600million to fit. Or you could just go without, as you did before Hubble existed. Seriously, is something going to happen in the 6 years between Hubble being decommissioned and JW being commissioned?
They already have got their reusable spacecraft - Buran. And it's rusting in a junkyard because they did not have no money no will to use it.
That shows that they at least have the guts to says something is too costly for what it will do, and to stop using it. The shuttle is no cheaper than soyuz, so what is the use for the shuttle, precisely now that all shuttle missions not dockable at ISS are not allowed?
Uhm, its already the default search in IE. Type search terms into the address bar and press enter if you dont beleive me, you get taken to MSN. So in what way will this change? People still use google, hell people even install the google tool bar, which has the option of changing the default search engine in IE.
Actually, its supposed to be mainly an educational attraction more than anything, since the majority of the models will be placed within school grounds, or at museums. Of course, it will still be touted as a tourist attraction, but thats one hell of a bus ride from one model to another.
Actually, Uranus is to be placed in Bath, the city where its discoverer William Herschel lived when he spotted the planet in 1781. Coincidentally, its less than 5 miles from where I am typing this.
Since they killed off the previous actor within the movie, and the creators have previously said that the movie was to be included, I would say that the BBC article is correctly worded as the 9th Time Lord. Its possible we wont see McGann being killed off, but we will pick back up with the Dr after a undetermined period of time in his life.
On a similiar note, can anyone tell me the title and writer of the book where the Dr met Hitler? From what I recall, it was written for an older audience than the normal books, and was very good.
No, according to the cannon books, its possible for the Gallifreyian Time Lord council to permit a second set of 9 regenerations, so its not fixed at 9. I cant remember from which set of books I got this from, but its definately main stream (It may have been the Master who had 18 regenerations, but Im not sure). God, Im so going to be labeled as a nerd for this.
Eccleston, who starred alongside Nicole Kidman in the horror movie The Others, will be the ninth TV Time Lord to control the Tardis in a 13-part series.
All this article does is try to legitimise unauthorised copyright infringement. Stop it now, it isnt good for the public front. The only way you can legitimise it is by getting the copyright owners permission, not the fact that it just happens to increase sales (which isnt even proven, its simply a cross corrolation of data).
