Since the output of a GPLd program is not forced to be under the GPL (e.g., gcc), and the GPL covers distribution, not use, then restricting ASPs would be impossible, since they merely use the output of a GPLd program.
One of these two things must go to restrict ASPs. Which one?
Does this mean that RMS plans to make it illegal to communicate with a GPLd program over a socket? SysV IPC? Files? That's essentially what restricting GPLd daemons from communicating with non-GPLd programs without the non-GPLd programs opening up their source code would be.
Oops, now it's illegal to put a Linux box on the internet, to use XFree86 (ooo, X, socket), etc.
Hypothetical situation: RMS has a stroke, religious revelation, whatever, and decides to make a version of the GPL that changes its entire meaning. since most software these days "can be distributed under or any later version" or the license, that could present a problem.
I've never been able to get xanim movies to play at more than a few frames per second without adjusting the speed manually (and that's inaccurate, to say the least). Has anyone else had this problem?
So MS deliberately staged this 'theft' to kill open-source software? After all, how can anyone *prove* that they didn't look at the Windows or Office source code?
What the hell are you talking about? gcc runs on Windows, and can use DX and the win32 API just fine. (Although, with C++, it required -fvtable-thunks because of the brain-dead COM class layout used by MS.)
Let's not even get into the STL implementation in egcs. When I can't use at() on an STL vector, I get deeply
annoyed. Admittedly, it's a trivial thing to fix, but there are things like that all over in egcs--things which ought to
be fixed, things which are trivial to fix, but which, for reasons unknown to me, aren't fixed.
That's true, but there are replacement library implementations available, such as STLPort.
Oh, and what templates does Kai C++ support than gcc does not? (2.95.2)
couldn't agree with you more. The whole hippie "time-out" crap that permeates our modern PC (thats politically
correct, for everyone who's in a computer-only at work mindset) media. I for one, got the crap beat out of me
when I was a kid. My dad had an unlocked gun cabinet full of different rifles and pistols, and I wouldn't THINK of
touching that thing. I knew I'd get slapped into next tuesday. If and when I have kids, I fully plan on punishing
them properly, and if someone comes to my house and tells me I cant, I'll give them the slap their parents
SHOULD have given them many years ago.
I know I'll loose karma for this, but I must say it:
You need to be shot. At point blank range. Multiple times. In the head. With an elephant gun.
People like you are the reason the country is so fubared. Are you too brain-damaged to realize that this simply fosters aggresion and loathing?
Oh, and a "healthy" "respect" for authority isn't always the best thing for someone either. Go ahead, be a good little drone.

There is no inherent reason why a flat file can't be unicode compliant.
XML is overkill for most things people want to use it for, including configuration files.
Now we can finally manage to do on a computer what the Greeks did 2,500 years ago --- draping cloth over a body to make it appear realistic.
We didn't. MCSEs' *only* brains are in their asses.
Hear hear. I don't see a problem with it at all, etiher. There is still room for interpretation.
People can always use an old version.

No we don't. We put circles on 2d objects in our 3d space. A 3d circle is called a sphere.
In 3 dimensions, that's a sphere.
I've never been able to get xanim movies to play at more than a few frames per second without adjusting the speed manually (and that's inaccurate, to say the least). Has anyone else had this problem?
Circles are impossible in any number of dimensions other than 2.
this document contains more information on the subject.
Don't you *love* when you think you have an original thought but 10e6 other people also have it and post it?
Yes they are. Free win32 headers are available, as are import libraries for the DLLs (which the user has on his system anyway).
Actually, Gnome apps *do* have a crash dialog.

People like you make me wish Slashdot had a killfile feature.

Now we only need to equip it with some Neutron Blasters for when those pesky Antarans attack.
