My team and other teams within Novell continue to develop and use Gtk as their toolkit (recently open sourced Simias/iFolder for instance) and all of the Mono GUI development tools.
Ok I'll bite. Please tell me that you understand the difference between being spied on (US) and being shot in the head for speaking out (Iran). Please tell me that you understand the difference between a bad law (US) that we can repeal just by getting enough people informed and an oppressive regime (Iran) that can jail you or kill you on a whim and there's not a damn thing you can do.
Check out that Hauppauge DVB-T or DVB-S cards. They work under Linux and effectively replace your set-top box, but they're not cheap - about 250 euro here in Sweden, plus another 130 or so for card holder and software codec card (and you still need the smartcard from your subscription).

You're lost. Millions of people read and re-read the source for major open-source projects every day. So what if 99% of the users can't spot a problem? That still leaves a LOT of people that can and would.
Most of the sites out there that explain how to
uncap your modem refer to a piece of software that
I wrote a few years ago (for another, legal purpose).
We (my company) decided to leave the software up
because it is useful to our customers, but we can see
that we get about 300 downloads a week, most of them
referred from uncapping sites.
This whole damn problem stems from the monopoly that Microsoft has already. It's an attempt to remedy the wrong ailment. If multiple vendors produced "Windows", the insecure versions would NOT be purchased by those concerned with security. And the word for the average consumer would at least be "be careful about that cheap Windows from company X, you get what you pay for". As it stands now, hundreds of millions of people simply do not have the option of choosing Windows from another company because of Microsoft's monopoly.
Just buy the damn code

Abusing the GPL?

· Score: 1, Interesting
Tell your company to just buy the damn code under a different license. In most cases this is
not hard to do. If the code belongs to a college
student, as you say, you'll probably get it for a *very* reasonable price.
On more than one occasion I have written to authors of GPL code, stating outright that I am willing to pay for their code under a different license, only to be *given* written permission to use the code in a proprietary fashion.
No it's not. It is possible to conduct business in an ethical manner. A statement like this is offensive to the millions of businessmen out there (which includes me) who do have ethics.
As I understand it China is doing this become more compliant with IP laws so they can become a member of the WTO. It's beautiful, really - they skip paying the capitalists, get the best software anyway, and become 100% compliant with the IP laws. Not releasing the source for their changes would defeat the purpose of their move to free software.
I have also been thinking that an RPM should include a standard file that denotes that it's "KDE Certified", or "Gnome Certified" (or both). The installer should then ask if you want desktop icons, etc, and be able to find them through this special file in the RPM.
You know, something like that. Then you could advise your Dad to only download something that's "certified".
About the installer - I'm not comfortable with every application being an executable binary like "setup.exe". I think it's a step backwards.
I didn't write because it's a long, drawn out argument. I felt like it would take a full history of Microsoft's practices over the last 20 years to explain why Microsoft should be split. In the end, it seemed like "firing off a letter" was a band-aid on a gaping wound.
I have a Nokia 8890 telephone, and it has the standard numeric keypad with "ABC", "DEF" combinations per key. I can press each key only once, and it figures out by the combination what word I want to type. It's not perfect, but it seems this "smart" technology should be standard for input into small devices. So basically with 10 keys I can type very quickly.

So how's your resume looking? ;)
You are, you're France, and yes, you hate your guts. :)
This was my first one. 1979 IIRC. http://www.tcp.com/~lgreenf/otherpag.htm
I think you missed the point: 'if (0 = uid)' will NOT compile under any circumstance.
I completely disagree; I think typing the data is a serious design flaw that will severely limit the flexibility of the command line.
And for Europeans (and anyone else that may be covered by the DVB standard), vdr does the same, but better for DVB.

Tapeware- for Linux, anyway. Dunno about other Unices.

"Score: 3, Insightful" is what's really funny.
Looks like a lot of people are doing this.
The EULA does not allow this.
When it comes right down to it, pal, don't think we wouldn't. ;)
Totally agreed. It's almost comical there's a discussion over two months of code review after 25 years of doing business the way they have.

Anyone here consider Wal-Mart a bigger problem than Microsoft? Please step up and let me know why.

Associate this with RPMs and you're good to go.

Heard a rumor that they may be considering support for IDE in something like this.
