Oh phooey. You mean I'm not allowed to download
600 MB ISOs anymore?
Because EVERYBODY knows that since it's HUGE,
it must be a VPN. Anyway, what if it's a 600MB
ISO image of a VPN server? They'd have to shut
me off for that... But OTOH, it's a server, not a
client.... hmmmhhh.....
That's not what I'm saying; I am saying that it could be done, but I wouldn't want them. I cannot see any good purpose for a fully-blown scripting language in a spreadsheet, anyway, can you? Macros are trivial to change, and scripts for windows probably access the filesystem. Pop quiz: What will the syscall fopen("C:\Windows\FiletoChange.ini") do on linux? They will need to be changed anyway. If macros were implemented, then at the very least, there should be a warning if the file came from a machine of the opposite architecture: "This file contains macros, and came from a (Windows/Linux) computer. It is recommended to disable macros until checking the file. Do this now?" or something of the sort.
Sorry if this came out as flamebait, it was not intended that way.
1, macros are platform-independant. If they are going to release specs, macros are part of the document, and hence part of the specs. 2, do you really want Melissa on Linux? Do you need every macro-email virus running on Linux?
But, on the flip side, if we get Outlook, then then we get IE also, which is what I really want...
"
Ok, go ahead and tell me that I'm wrong in this..."
You're wrong.;)
Ok, mod me down. But before you do, I do actually have something to contribute - you're not wrong. The moderation idea would work, and the end-user should be able to turn it off, or looks at the filters themselves.
Ok, NOW mod me down. Or up. I don't care;)

Yes, they lose $10 per box. But as you buy more and more of them, they regain more and more of their R+D costs back, bringing it to $9 a box.
Now Sega, they are losing money on their $50 DCs, but....

But with Dreamcasts at the price they're at right now...
Who cares about the fact that it's dead - it's really easy to code for
and it still has some sweeet games (picks up his controller and kicks butt in
Rush 2049...)
... you want to run EMACS on it!!;)

Depending on whether the mods are VI-guys or EMACS-men, I'll either get a +3 Funny or a -1 Flamebait.:) But it wasn't intended to be flamebait, just funny....
I did not say that Linus created GNU/Linux - I just said he created the OS. I tried to phrase it simply for newbies (Win98 is just the kernel and Explorer is the OS? What?! or OK, so Microsoft is the shell and Windows is the OS, because Gnu made Linux right?:) )
Linus Torvalds, put simply, created the Linux operating system. Linux was not meant to replace Windows - he just felt that what was available that day (DOS and UNIX) was just either not powerful enough, or too expensive. So he took little bits of his instructor's code, and glued it together to make a platform in which he could code.

Yeah, there are already a million DCast->Other console emulators out. dcemulation.com --joshua
- Make usually calls
/bin/sh -c, returning us to our original problem.
- Here's the problem with CSH.
- Program gets written with a real CSH. (Or with CSH linked to TCSH.)
- End user uses the opposite, which has a different implementation of feature x, or flat-out doesn't have it.
- See step 1.
--j0shuaIt also runs under Cygwin, it's on the XF86/Cyg site. (At least KDE2 does.)
