But then, perhaps you meant to include those countries in the designation "anglo-american?"
Their law system is basing on the old system which was founded by William the Conqueror. I guess that's bad luck, but it doesn't mean that they are all Anglo-Americans. No, at least the Australians would object, I suppose.
These bans are very specific to the anglo-american law system, I suppose. It works by threatening with punishment for "contempt of court", which is a construct, I think, not present in any other modern law system.
It shouldn't be there either, because it opens the door to pure arbitrariness.
I am always surprised when them development people again and again announce "more stability". I guess they have a different kind of measurement system.
I guess their only kind of measurement they have, is if they fixed the bugs of the people that reported them. I trust you filed your crashers, so they should be taken care of now...
Sigh. Have you ever tried to file a bug that reads "crashed for unknown reason, partly reproducible"? I mean, maybe you have got the time to fetch the most recent binary with the debugging information and start hunting for the bug. Because if you don't, the people will tell you their opinion about such silly bug filings.
Everytime (really everytime) I tried AbiWord, it crashed. I type six sentences or so, do a little formatting, all with my standard fonts, which include German, Polish, Hindi and Gujarati (they are just present - not used in that document), and...barf.
It's not that the print looks lousy, I don't get that far.

Heh, exactly. #1 complaint I've always heard about Macs? "Oh, you have to drag the disk to the Trash to eject it, that's not intuitive."
It's really not intuitive. Intuitive would be if you needed to drag the trashbin onto the floppy, cause that's what most of the users doing all the time: putting trash on their disks.
Why ever not? C++ allows for much better code, you just need a compiler that's up to the task, and runtime ABI that is predictable. Granted, standard C++ may not be appropriate, but with some features disallowed, it is ideal (better than C).
Because C++ makes your program less deterministic. By looking at a piece of code, you can't say what happens where if you use C++. During every single instruction, an (unexpected?) exception might take place, and every single instruction might be changed from what the author has intended (and tested) when somebody changed the definitions of what those methods were inherited from.
As hardware gets cheaper and more powerful and becomes a commodity, Apple is likely to have an increasingly difficult time selling its own line of expensive machines.
Rolls Royce still manages to sell cars.
As far as I understand, Mr. Icaza is now working for Microsoft, and he spends his energy on porting Microsoft ideas and projects to the Linux platform(s)...
So why he criticizes Microsoft plans in the public?
Did you notice that microsoft aren't filtering the netbios type ports? this isnt microsoft being stupid, it's microsoft being smart, trying to prevent hosts hanging waiting for timeouts...
It's Microsoft stupid because the are relying on their own software to be without more faults. (There have been many.)
Who want's to use NetBIOS over the internet (i.e. without a tunnel)? He's not sane!
Intelligent firewall setting would have been what most firewalls call "reject", that means, sending RESET in return if a request doesn't originate from the LAN.

PHP Not Moving To The GPL
·
· Score: 0, Flamebait
it looks to me like the crux of the issue is that the devlopers of PHP don't like being told what 'free' means
Or, is it simply that you cannot live with other people having different opionions and different imagionations of what "free" should mean?
In Germany, an US product called RoboDoc was working for several years doing pre-programmed hip joint operations. Several hundreds of victims are now preparing to sue the hospitals - the ensanguined operations have led to severe destructions in nerves, muscles and bones.
I'd rather like to see Sarge with the new policy enabled, even if it takes two more years or four. (I am young, I can wait.) I mean, Debian is FREE, and so should be its documentation.
Nowadays, it seems, it seems more appropriate to Microsoft to invest several millions in propaganda, than in software improvement. Their recent move in resurrecting the MSIE development team made about.0015% of the available cash.
The shortest valid C program would be "main(){}", the task "return exit code error (non zero) if a file is not readable" could be solved in Python analogous to C:
import sys,os
sys.exit(os.access("/etc/mtab"))
which is about 46 characters. And so on.
That survey would have made be happy if the author had been literate in the languages he questioned...
Yeah, and if you were really as smart as the inventor, you'd have patented it
first.
If you were really as smart as Adolf Hitler, you would have occupied Chechia and France first! You would have tried to kill all jews first! But you didn't, so you are a loser.
The thing about patents is, when one that gets granted that's obvious, everyone
runs around saying "WELL THAT'S OBVIOUS!!"
Of course, when I use something on my system for years, I always say like that. It's like sticking a toothbrush into your mouth... you don't think about it.
I believe that they don't have any solution for popular problems like name/version conflicts with libraries and header files, so GoboLinux can't be an alternative to Gentoo Linux, which at least has a slot concept making it possible two different versions of the same package to co-exist.
The main problem problems with WordPerfect in the past were IMHO that the all (even i18n'ed) versions had problems with X11 international keyboard codes. There were some funny (or destructive) effects, and several key combinations weren't working at all.
You could say that WordPerfect was effectively unusable. As this didn't change with the update of WP 7 to WP 8 (AFAIR), I stopped trying. At that time, I got the impression that Corel was not quite sure about the competitiveness of their own product and preferred the option of letting it die slowly.
I hope that the people at Corel finally understand that there IS a problem and start fixing it.

Hey, did they take my pr0n traffic for account? Obviously not.

Customers sometimes really can be a problem. But in most cases, it seems, it's just that the shop doesn't like customers at all.

The same gene that would make better maize would prove to kill you if it was inserted into E. coli and planted into your body.
You can't say E. coli is harmless per se.
