Yes... and AmigaBASIC was a rip off of AppleBASIC, everything done by Micro$oft.
I remeber the features quite well...
- the interpreter was the biggest file on the whole AmigaOS 1.3 distribution
- it was the slowest BASIC interpreter for AmigaOS
- and it was not compatible to AmigaOS 2.0 and newer
Why can you still connect with the original Yahoo! (tm) Messenger (no matter whether windows, linux or freebsd version)?
I see only two possibilities:
1. Some (large) parts of the Y! protocol are still unknown to developers, so activating some new functions leads to nonfunctioning of all clients that do not understand this.
or
2. Everytime the protocol is changed, a new algorithm is activated. All official clients have a several protocols builtin, and that code exists for months to years (the linux version was last changed some years ago).
So... how do they do it? How did they do it in the past?
My shiny new computer (second hand) came with some mystique winmodem. Some little googling showed me that there's a driver for 2.4-kernels called
"pctel-0.9.6.tar.gz".
It works for Via, Asus, CM8x, Sis, PCT and AMR based modems, but only "old" 2.4-kernels.
It should be possible to port it to 2.6 (some include file has to be fixed).
Debian is also a quite nice distribution but it lacks up-to-date packages. At least in the stable-branch.
Examples?
1. There is not recent version of boa available. Having written some weird CGI-progs I need the most recent version which fixes some bugs in boa. (And, no, apache is not an option for me!)
2. All the rest of my favorite software packages is not quite actual... Mozilla-1.0.0 (in stable), Sylpheed-Claws 0.7.4claw3 (in stable). Unstable is a bit better but still not up2date.
eight megabytes and constant swapping is a way of life, not a simple text editor.:-)
If you want plain text editing use e3 or nano.
vi with insert mode as default is a good alternative for plugins because it doesn't get in the way and is still powerful. All other texteditors use some cryptic Control-something-shortcuts that nobody understands anyway...
I agree that vi is a PITA when you are used to the new colorful world of windows, buttons and menus.
But... this project is aiming at providing a plugin-like editor for all applications.
Example: I am currently typing this text in a small textarea in Opera.
Imagine I'd like to replace all occurences of "I" with "we". What can I do? Search and spell checking works fine in Opera (I don't know about other browsers), even on texts in textareas, which is already something. But a Find&Replace function is simply not there.
Now imagine your browser with your favorite editor (like vi) as plugin. You do the great vi-magic like:s/I/we/g and you are done.
This approach targets only a minor part of the group of diabetes-patients.
Group 2 diabetes patients have a peripheral resistence to insuline - their cells do not react to all the insuline in their blood.
It's no big use increasing the insuline load.
On the other hand, we have some never drugs than the cited metformine already available.

Your keyboard supports only IBM-AT, PS/2 and DOSV (whatever that is) as protocols. However, when using a simple PS/2-USB-adapter that does not do protocol-translation, your keyboard must be able to understand USB.
I had the same problem when I bought a mouse with PS/2-serial-adapter. It worked fine until I changed the mouse against another PS/2-mouse. This new mouse didn't know about serial dataflow and refused to work with this simple adapter.
The most important thing is to get the mentally ill person to accept this fact him-/herself. Most patients still insist that they are not ill, but everybody else is. There is no way of having a good relationship (neither doctors nor friends) to someone who is suspecting lies and danger everywhere. Certain drugs might help to start this process of understanding the disease.
After accepting the disease he/she will probably be "compliant" (take drugs regularly) which should help a lot for living a nearly normal life. But - as shown in A beautiful mind the patient should still be controlled from time to time because many of the stop taking medication because of the sometimes severe side effects.

I don't know about the costs of preventing a virus attack, but I know pretty much about how much my boss has lost during 3 days where he couldn't use his computer... (it's around USD 1000).
First we didn't know what was happening: The computer kept sending packets which I discovered by accident. One day later we heard about MyDoom, again one day later we knew how to fix it.
And the worst thing is: We still don't know how it got in there...
1) Post dupes to/. editors.
2) See dupes appear on the front page.

Wouter van Oortmerssen has created several programming languages...
Some of them were plain beauty, others had a quite small compiler, others were a proof of concept of his PhD-thesis.
Granted, none of them ever became famous, but I still miss the ease and power of AmigaE on my Gentoo box.

I'd love to... but I still don't understand why everybody is raving about *BSD being dead.
After having learned that Windows XP is a VMS clone and that Linux is a Minix clone which is a UNIX clone which is a MULTICS clone which is a CTSS clone which is a FMS clone which I have never heard about and which is probably dead, dead, dead I'd think that everything - even BeOS and QNX (and this FreeBSD clone MacOS X) are UNIX-influenced (if not based) and therefore dead, dead, dead. 8-)
I used to prefer FreeBSD over GNU/Linux because of the straightforward install without bells and whistles and the easy way to compile parts of the system. The only disappointing thing is the lack of drivers for my exotic hardware, at least I was so far not able to find working drivers for my external CD-writer, my laptop's USB and a single of my three USB webcams.
Well... then I discovered Gentoo and everything was fine again... 8-)

I had a quick look at XAML and it looked quite straightforward and simple.
So... besides XAML coming from Micro$oft and aiming at being yet another WWW-defacto-standard, what's bad with it?
There's the Mozilla SVG Project.
I suppose we'll end having browsers that support everything from HTML to XAML and Flash and SVG.
