Not all developers agreed that Wine should be under LGPL so another fork, ReWind was made that continues to use the X11 license.
Also, it would be worthwile to note that the ReWind project was started mostly with the backing of Transgaming, and it was their idea. Basically they needed Wine to stay X11 so that they can continue to ship their copy-protection stuff in commercial builds but strip it out of publicly available CVS.
That, and they are not forced to contribute back to Wine (or ReWind). Makes you wonder..
This seems to be exactly the case!
The short as % of float for SCOX is 60% while its something around 1-2% for normal companies.
Looks like investors are desperately trying to short this stock.
Employees of a company going public usually have a lockout period in which they cannot excercise any shares. I doubt google employees (or even founders) would be able to offload their shares in the first month, let alone the first day.
And then you see posts about how horrible (for example) religion is - causes people to kill each other for no reason.
And here we have people determining whether another is a friend or foe depending on the terminology he uses for specifying a certain number.
There's definitely no hope for us..
I also switched from a Palm III to a Tungsten T.
But its not the color that adds legibility - its the resolution and quality of the LCD.
I've seen a Palm m130, which is color, but the resolution is 160x160 and the color is much more washed out than on the TT. Being the "business" model, the TT has much more quality (display, case, feel, etc) than the lower-end Palms, and can be had quite cheap nowdays (below $200) as the newer models - T2 and T3 our out.
Quick search on google shows its above $500 for the 80GB version, and much more for the 120GB.
Why so much? I can get a small 80GB headless desktop from parts, and install linux to give all the filesharing / print / web / ftp server for about $200. Charging an extra $300 basically for a cute case is not my idea of a breakthrough product.
Friend of ours rode his bike to work. My dad used to drive a car. So the friend asked my dad to put the bike in the car once, since he was afraid it'd be stolen otherwise. Put it in, locked the doors.
The bike was gone in a few hours. (Car still there thankfully;) )
I guess I haven't been into gaming recently.
I thought you were kidding, but the specs do say 5.5GB of hard drive space! That's quite insane if you ask me. (me coming from the days where games fit onto single-sided floppys, and were still quite enjoyable:) )
I'm sure they could get it much much smaller with some effort : compress the textures, sounds and maps, use a tracker (i.e. MOD files, etc.) instead of a digital soundtrack for each level, use procedural textures, etc.
But as someone pointed out, that just doesn't pay anymore when 100GB HDs are under $100.
Still, 1.5GB for maps does sound a bit extreme, no?
An excellent point!
I was also comparing what I had learned in college with my father's experience (PhD from Russia), and by the end of undergraduate college its pretty even. Where the un-even-ness is, is the level of education in elementary and high school. In Russia you would know Calculus, Chemistry, Phyiscs and Biology by the time you leave high school, in the US, you'd be lucky if you take one.
However, in college you are forced to quickly catch up on all of those things, which places you in a lot of stress, and since it is learned much quicker, it is also quicker forgotten.
The education level of the elementary and high-school systems in the US needs a lot of work.
Tha battle of Stalingrad (formerly, and now, Volgograd) was the turning point of WW2 for Russia.
It is nowhere near Leningrad (see map here. Look for Volgograd aka Stalingrad - in the south, and St Petersburg aka Lenigrad in the north!)
The Germans advanced all the way to Stalingrad, with Russians retreating, and maintaining a sort of scorched-earth policy. At the epic battle of Stalingrad, (winter of 1942-43) the tides turned, and Russians started taking back territory, eventually marching all the way to Berlin.
I know! I mean, look, has any DARPA project ever done anything good for the human race?
Just look at the silly Internet (originally ARPA-net) project - just brought us all this spam and pop-ups.
First, the antivirus and firewall utils are unnecessary for linux (yet) : no widespread virii for linux, and firewall config utilities come with any decent end-user distro.
(Since firewall is built into OS, no need for a separate SW package).
Realplayer has a linux version as well, and there are plenty of good alternatives, like Xine or GMplayer, which support a LOT of codecs.
For Kazaa work-alike, there's a bunch of Gnutella clients around
This is called a "passive" alarm system, and it gets you an extra 1-2% off your car insurance.
The idea is that the alarm is armed even if you forget to press the button. (Which people do quite often.) There is a level of annoyance with this, but I've gotten used to mine.
A much more annoying feature is the one which locks your doors automatically when the alarm arms. I've gotten locked out of my previous car a couple of times because of this stupidity.
Bullshit!
Everyone knew. There were delgations of Jewish leaders to FDR to urge him to bomb Aushwitz, and other death camps.
During the war, refugees were not allowed into the country. Boats were turned back.
Here's a link that comes up first in a slew of google hits on the subject.
Not so easy. I tried reporting spam to the ISP's abuse address. For the next few weeks I was indundated with 1000 bounces a day - the spammers (who apparently owned the servers), retaliated by using my reply address as the spamming address.
I just got the first one as I was reading the story on./ !
Weird thing is : it arrived to a non-existant address on my domain (and was forwarded to the catch-all). I have no idea how it got that email...
Pretty stupid trick : the attachment was README.ZIP, which contains the filename README.HTM_______________.SCR (the _ are spaces) so it looks like an html file at first glance..
Nicely done, but good luck trying to infect my Debian:)
Anyone remember booting linux from dos, with a UMSDOS filesystem?
True, its not quite the same (linux actually took over the machine, just the FS resided under a DOS directory) but this seems to be a similar silly trick.
UMSDOS fs was slow as hell, while this solution promises not just to be slow as hell, but also get all the.. ahem.. advantages of running as a user process under Windows..
Why would I ever want this?
Yeah, thats all very nice.
I just wonder why you were referrning to "the jew" as "he" all the time?... Hmmm...
(And female rabbis in the orthodox jewish movement!? In 10 years?!? That'd be something.)
Yeah, the little radio is utter crap. I got the same type for singing up for a Citibank credit card. So its leats its not a proprietary Microsoft piece of junk.:)
BTW, in my opinion, the MS people looked pretty silly sitting there at _LINUX_ World, trying to show how you can get a unix shell under windows. Why?? *Shrug*

Its (possibly) called attitude because it resembles a person's mood - whether the face is pointing up or down ;)

I find it degrading to be forced to use your heathen server patches on my pure desktop! Begone, foul server distro's!

Hmm.. if a guy who's playing around with codec's for some time can't configure it "properly", you have to ask, how userfriendly it really is.

So the only thing that remains is tax software..
