Who says that open-source software has to be compiled by GCC. It doesn't. If you don't shell out, you're SOL. Sorry, maybe you shouldn't be using it.
Intel's compilers come with a 30-day trial IIRC.
On the other hand, why should GCC even expect anything in return from Intel. You can't expect everything for free in this world, no matter how much RMS may think this to be the case.
If you do real work, you need to pay the $$$ for a real compiler.
If you don't have the money for icc, you probably don't need it.
Did you miss the whole "PIM" part? Pine can't hold my calendar and sync with my palm, and itegrate all that with my e-mail. Want to store an email on my Palm for later viewing? Drag, drop, hit the button on the hotsync cradle and that's it.
Bzzt. It cites this: Among the issues Smith called critical is the ability for an e-mail that includes a special HTML tag, known as an IFRAME, to run an attached program. That weakness could be used by a virus to spread to computers through Outlook.
Klez uses IFRAME. Someone sent me Klez the other day. I recognized it as a Klez email right away, but just for yuks, decided to test Outlook. Opening the Klez email did nothing. Problem seems solved to me.
If you want to stick to Pine, that's your problem. I'll take a modern PIM/E-mail client, thanks.
Outlook 2002/XP hardly allows anything access -- shoot it won't even let you save.EXE attachments unless you make a change deep in the registry, or on the Exchange server.
There are pathes available for Outlook 2000, and the previous version as well that adds this functionality, or at least patches the holes. You are misinformed.
...it will be pretty ironic, considering RMS himself is a communist, and the people taking his software license and ripping it to shreds whilst he watches and can't do a damn thing about it -- are communists of the true kind.
Sweet sweet revenge.

OBD-II is required on all new vehicles sold in the US since 1996. The protocol is open, but manufacturers would add additional information that they did not disclose to outsiders.
The modern term is 'PCM,' or Powertrain Control Module -- they're being integrated in most cars now.:D
More importantly, what relevance does this article have on slashdot? How many people here are auto mechanics!? Oh wait, michael posted this, now it makes sense.
Funny thing is that the version of Solitaire on my 1Ghz XP box is probably the same code that I ran Solitaire on my 386/16 with 4 MB of RAM back in the day.
The card deck-spill animation after you win used to take 10 minutes to complete. Now it takes about 0.75 sec.:D
1) I wish I still had my rant about how Oracle should have never been ported to NT. It belongs on Unix -- the NT port is pretty damn crappy. If you're running NT, you should be using SQL Server (ideally) or DB2 (actually the FIRST database to get Microsoft's certification for Windows 2000 -- yes, even before their own).
2) If you're in a budget crunch, you shouldn't be buying Oracle anyway. Oracle is very powerful, indeed -- in fact, I designed a very complex application using Oracle this past summer. But what I found out is that the company I worked for spent somewhere in the neighbor hood of 20-40 million dollars on Oracle licenses (this probably included the uber Sun servers it runs on). (I don't remember if this is the exact amount -- I do remember that I almost shit myself when I saw the numbers.)
If you are running Unix, Sybase and DB2 are viable alternatives. Microsoft did a study once and it showed that Oracle on Unix cost about 10 times more per transaction than SQL Server on NT.
If NT blue screens, something is horribly wrong with your servers. I've seen NT boxes with uptimes in the hundreds of days.
But then again, installing Oracle on NT reminds me of preparing a Thanksgiving turkey.....
There is one reason he's such a big supporter of Linux -- he wants to suck them in to buy Oracle. Sure, you get everyone excited when Linux is *FREE*, but maybe people seem to neglect the fact that Oracle 9i still costs like $40,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 yen.

Yes, but what about AMD users?
Out of curiosity, can your e-mail client do automatic spam filtering, and public key encryption?
:)
Of course!

I'm glad to see that Macs finally support multitasking.

You Unix people amuse me.

Uhh... Bill Gates is a smart guy... you'd think he'd know about the Klez virus...
According to the CIA World Factbook, China is a "Communist state." You can argue what you want, but I'll take their word for it.

No, actually the answer you're looking for is "post something that is positive in michael's view" because he's such an asshole. :D
One might think that, but that stopped being true a while ago.

Sounds like what Microsoft did to Kerberos...

Why aren't we using this??!?!
So, what, you're so smart that you can do it in 10 minutes?
Fucker.
Any Walken quote deserves at least a +1 Funny ;)
If you have a solution that is as fast and low-level as C, yet allows you to do this, please, by all means, speak up!
Yes, Win 3.0 shipped with Reversi and Solitaire.
:D

How much to you think the OEMs pay for Windows?
