Commercial GPL is something like the NPL/MPL licenese that let Netscape keep some code to themselves while still sharing and modifying the Mozilla codebase, I think.
Of course, I see a clear need for LGPL as well here, since that is different than just GPL or MPL or BSD, and very useful indeed. LGPL is what lets me use things like libPNG or ZLib in my commercial application without giving away the unrelated source code to my entire program. LGPL is a good thing if you value PNG support in other programs that aren't going to be using GPL themselves.
That adblock expression will still allow things like: paypäl.com paÿpal.com If you use the regular western windows codepage. Sure its not the EXACT same glyph, but most people might not understand that two little dots above a letter mean anything bad here.
Have you ever ben in efnet's #winprog ? There is a lot of militant MS followers in there, who will paste links to images making fun of Linux all the time. They always say things like "huhuh, lunix is a joke". I can't figure out why they always say lunix instead of linux, because it makes it look more like L(unix), but to them, I think its just like people who say M$ and microshaft or whatnot. These are the people, who don't work for Microsoft, but believe that C# and.NET are great, and everybody should stop programming in C++, think only IIS is a viable web server, and always brag about the latest Longhorn or VS.NET 2005 beta they have.
Who says free software is good? I'm out to make a profit, so I can live and eat. There is nothing wrong with closed source software. I use open file formats anybody else can use. My point is that it doesnt seem economical to port a program to Linux, and it might not even been economical to port to Mac OSX either.
I don't know. If I want to port my Win32 MFC applications to Linux, I am still going to choose GTK, because I can use that under the LGPL, and distrube a binary for Linux without giving away my source code, and I don't have to go buy some extra toolkit to do it. To use QT, I either have to buy it, or link with GPL and give away all my source code. Not going to happen. Of course, this assumes that porting a GUI application from Windows to Linux will yield an increase in sales. Since I doubt it will, I don't bother to port it. I am attempting to port to OSX, but question whether or not that will even pay for itself or not.
I noticed the same thing with OSX, click-hold, control-click, and right-click are all the same, on an OS level it seems. But honestly, its fastest and most intuitive to right-click on things. I don't always have my non-mouse hand even on the keyboard to quickly press control, and I don't have time to wait and hold the mouse forever either.
Isn't it pretty common to have buttons that do one thing when clicked and do a different thing whe clicked and held down for a short duration? I seem to remember Photoshop on Macs working like that for most of the tools. Honestly I went years using Photoshop before I realized there were more options hidden there. The same menus could be found by right-clicking in the Windows version.
I wonder about that. I've never tried anything but my CF reader either. Can digital cameras (like my powershot G5) act as really nice quality webcams if hooked directly with usb?
Hello (http://hello.com/) is really good for sharing pictures with complete idiots like your mom and dad. It automatically shrinks and recompresses the jpgs and lets you chat on the side. Great for my parents on dialup since it saves bandwidth, and if you want you can always selectively download the full image version from a few of the pics you are looking at. I havn't seen much else that is as easy and simple as Hello, but I havn't really looked for much. Email or ICQ or posting pictures on a webpage just don't cut it though.
Yes, SBC does allow opt-out on the port 25 block. My package with the 6.0/608 is not blocked at all, but they do allow opt-out, so please don't spread lies.
I've seen some people with MRTG on their line report that the comcast limit is likely to be around 200GB/month which comes out to a combined 640kbit usage between your upload and download continuously. Basically that means that your connection is only as good as, say, 512/128, since my DSL lets me use the full 6.0mbit/608kbit 24/7.
Comcast won't allow servers, but most DSL providers do, and they don't block your ports either usually. SBC lets you opt-out of any port blocking they do (currently just some outbound port 25 blocking I think, but only for the residential package)
I already have 6.0/608 DSL, I can run servers, no ports are blocked, there are no invisible bandwidth caps, my ping times are better, a couple infected PCs nearby won't slow my connection down like it does with cable, plus the price is lower. Oh, and I don't have cable TV because Dish is less then half the cost and yes I do have a land line beacuse its a lot more reliable then any VoIP will ever be, and its very cheap with no long distance package or extra features I don't need, so its no big deal.
I'm not using sessions or a different php.ini for command line stuff. I've tested this a lot and am easily able to reproduce it with a simple test like
#!/usr/bin/php -q
Then just run this on the command line a few times:./test.php & ;./test.php
A lot of the time you will just see the output like:
[1] 12345 hello world hello world [1] + Done./test.php
But if you do it about 10 times, chances are you will see this output at least once:
[1] 12345 Content-type: text/html
PHP Fatal error: Unable to start session mm module in Unknown on line 0 hello world [1] + Exit 254./test.php
The only problems I have is when two cronjobs are scheduled to run at the same time, such as an hourly one and another one that only runs at 6am. Sometimes one of the two jobs will fail with that error at 6am, but it never fails when only 1 thing tries to run at a time.
I've never run into problems with memory leaks, but PHP is still not designed to really be a shell scripting language. The biggest issue I get is "PHP Fatal error: Unable to start session mm module in Unknown on line 0" from cron jobs. Apparently you can't start two instances of PHP at the exact same time, or you get this problem. The only fix I could find was to wrap each PHP script in a SH script as so:
#!/bin/sh RET=1; while [ $RET != 0 ]; do /usr/local/bin/some_script.php RET=$?; done
very dirty, but it ensures the script is attempted to be run forever until it finally doesn't fail to start up the PHP engine. 95% of the time the scripts run fine the first time, and the rest of the time they spit out the above error once and run just fine the second time. I log all of the cron output and thats all I ever see is this PHP error now a few times a week.
You saw that MS has removed definitions from the antispyware program already, right? WeatherBug complained and MS removed it within a few days from the list of detectable things.
What a waste. Just get OSX VNC and set it to startup automatically. You can enable SSH too. I'm starting to develop programs for OSX as well as Windows now, and desiging my code such that the majority of the code is in a cross-platform library that I can just SSH in and compile for OSX, then later stick a tiny Cocoa GUI on top of.
Anybody else get really into Q3Radiant (the level editor)? Both me and my college friend discovered that and eventually all we could see was what polygons and brushes would be needed to create all the buildings on campus as we walked by them.

Um, Windows 95, and maybe earlier, have this feature, as part of the OS.

Hey at least SBC will likely let you use the full 6TB/month that you could pull with 20mbit, right?
Thats still only 128kbit/sec. Horrible.
5GB/month speed is about equal to 16kbit/sec speed.
Wow thats slow.

No, my DSL + Dish is less then $80 though.

The contents of the script are:

Are you really routing TCP/IP over 802.2 in 802.3?
While similar to 802.3, Ethernet II (aka DIX) isn't quite the same.
