I've got several vietnemese friends who are Americanizing their names because most people find them too difficult to pronounce.
Not that I don't give it effort. I've got the pronounciation of Doan and Hoang down, but my throat just doesn't want to make the sounds required for "Dao" and "Giang" Or, rather, my ear isn't trained to tell the difference between the way they pronounce their names and the way I do.

Your approach is not only dishonest, it would ruin the reputation of whoever implemented it. Who wants to use software written by someone who has been known to intentionally write security flaws in their code? Open source or not, it's a risk I wouldn't take.
So, uh, what we need is a material that reflects light differently from different angles, so that your centerpiece can remain still?
Sounds like a job for materials scienctists. You know, the kind of guys who came out with the material with a negative refractive index.
On the other hand, I've always wondered about using a hemispherical lens in order to play recorded images and sounds back in the direction they came from. I suppose it wouldn't be too much harder to use an arc of cameras to accomplish the recording, and use the hemisphere for playback.
He's quoting a fairy tale that was written by a pair of brothers who were sticking it to the authorities at the time by disguising their political views as children's stories.
A quick google didn't turn up anything, but if you compare their stories with the political climate at the time they were written, there's really something to tell.
Uh, MMX and 3DNow are completely different. My Duron supports both. Intel hasn't taken on AMD's 3dnow! and 3dnow!ext extensions, while AMD has dropped in support for both sse and sse2. (And I expect sse3 will be along.)
Under Linux, anything over 3GB requires a few extra hoops to jump through. Normally, the 4GB address space is divided into 3GB/1GB, where the kernel gets to play with 1GB and the rest of the system gets to play with the other 3GB.
Perhaps they were consulting their lawyers, checking to see what they could do about it. Then they could even spend some time doing research about HARCOP's sources...

Sure there is. It just has to be grown first. Hope it's worth the wait.:)
The difference is that the patent holder doesn't have the patent holder doesn't have the right to re-license their patent for use in non-GPL products. The current system says you've got to freely license your patent to everyone, not just the OSS project and its derived works.
It ain't funny. A lot of people still think he should have released it under a BSD-style license, or at least a license a little more "free" (by their definition.)
He released it under the GPL in order, I suppose in order to maintain the community mechanism then in place of everybody's changes being available to everybody else.
I'd like to see a clause in GPL3 that says something like "All patented contributions must be freely licensed for this work and automatically so for any legally derived works."
Or something like that.
Hey! Let's start a petition! Petition the FSF to include a statement to that effect in GPL3, and to release GPL3 by the end of the year.
That'll be something to look forward to.:) I don't have the time to spawn the petition, but if I see it on Slashdot, I'll sign it.
Well, you can certainly see the source if you use something like JBuilder, and an exception occurs within the JRE libraries. (You're shown a screen of decompiled code where the error occured.
hehehe. I don't know if that'd help clarify or obfuscate the distinction between the two. It'd certainly keep most editors from publishing a story on it.
(If it gives them a headache, why risk passing it on to their subscribers?)

Well, since he missed the story here, he's definately out of touch.
Or maybe I'm out of touch with reality. Dunno. Pointers, anyone?
I don't know; I don't find Windows infinitely convenient.

AMD copies all the time. THey support sse and sse2. (though obviously after Intel releases chips with the original support)
Well, there's always the coax running upside the house to the antenna on top. I've got a friend who's had that "loosened" more than once.
Well, more like pinned in three places. Every time he keyed up, all of Grand Rapids went quiet.
Well, the good news is you're no longer the guy writing the cookies for /usr/games/fortune

At least, that's how I understand it.
What is the overall instruction set's name?!
Does it remain "x86-64" in the kernel tree, or do we call it "IA-32e"?
Uhm, wasn't there a slashdot article about a laser system being tested to destroy artillery shells in-flight?

More likely, you tell it your perscription and it prints it. There's a lot to determining what a person't perscription should be.
Are you sure the problem's not with gpm? Whenever my mouse accidentally came unplugged, I restarted gpm and everything worked fine.
Of course, I use a USB mouse now, so I don't know.
Versions of Windows up through ME had the same problem. I'm not sure, but I'd guess that PS/2 mice need to be bootstrapped.

I'll ask. I wouldn't be surprised.
I bit a guy once. But he put his arm in front of my my face, so he shouldn't have been surprised.
Well, a lot of people were pissed off that he put Linux under the GPL.
But personally, I see it as a good thing.
