The many versions *does* sort of fly, for just one reason: Visual Basic. How many "middleware" applications use the IE.ocx, or the media player.ocx, or the.ocx that is associated with just about every bundled program that microsoft provides.

Reusing the same graphics for the signs cuts down on the memory overhead. Ever notice how cars all tend to look the same when you aren't looking directly at them? The machine-mind is nothing if not effecient.
Heh. It would be like playing an old 386 game on a modern pentium. The Nazi's would be swarming over you like leeches in a sausage kettle before you even slogged out of the boat.
Close. The GPL's purpose is to *enable* developers who want to kill software companies to do so in the free market. Behind every piece of GPL'd software is an individual who decided that they wanted to share their work in that way.
That doesn't work. People writing *code* in no way influences what can or can't be put into the spec. MS can't steal their actual code though.
Would be funny if you could embrace and extend microsoft though, eh?

Yeah. Giving Arafat and the Isreali leaders those nifty light pens from the previous story made all the news over there just fade away like a bad dream. Good to see Slashdot once more fighting the good fight, et cetera.
Its just time to upgrade to GTA3. I'm always on the lookout for hidden packages now (and its damn surreal when I pass the exit for "Staunton Ave" every evening on my way home...
I'd have to disagree on this particular group of people... most of them wanted the gold star on the certificate to be legitimate. They weren't that false. And they had more girls than our department.
Those are still pretty pathetic statistics... every time my email address is demanded (although it will never be used, whats the point in asking for it then??) I get rather irate... and those were discounted in this figure...

The MIS students at the (Frank) Perdue School of Business successfully petitioned to have C++ dropped from their curriculum because it was "too hard". This very class, numbered only about 120 or so, serves as the introductory course for the entire CS major.
Its a difference between people who just want to know how to use something vs the people that want to understand it. A shame they don't realize that if they understand how it works, they won't have any trouble using it, or anything like it, ever again.
I'm glad I'm not the only person to have read that. My marketting goon ex roomate would never listen to my rantings about his kind and their damned propoganda... I don't think anyone who hasn't read it has the whole advertising/propoganda correlation stuck in their head...
1) Take a copy of gcc
2) Use your power of the source to fiddle with it, so that it isn't *quite* ANSI C compatible anymore.
3) Port the GPL'ed code you want to 'steal' to the new, gonzo implementation of the compiler.
4) Compile it, release the code and source together as per the GPL. Document nothing....at this point, you are not bound to release the code for your modifications to GCC unless you release a binary of the compiler yourself.
Or does my logic have a hole here?
Every time I loop the back way around Wal-Mart to avoid the congested parking lot, I find myself glancing around for hidden packages, and wondering if there is anything cool up on the fire escape/catwalk.
Well, you probably read my 'about' as 'aboot' and my 'aboot' as 'abute' or something of that nature. It is really the sort of thing you have to be mocked with face to face to come to terms with. I have a regional accent myself, but I'll be damned if I know what it sounds like.

I don't see how this would affect AMD though.

As long as the client sends the 'referer(sic)' in the header, you're golden.
Well, perhaps if you had more guns in circulation the IRA wouldn't have to resort to messy bombings and Sid Vicious' girlfriend would still be alive.

Actually, if it suddenly becomes harder to get, the market forces *increase*. Supply, demand and what not.

Yes. Absolutely. There is no contradiction in being in awe of an ability even if that ability is used immorally.
Ask the laserdisk, vcd and divx folks what happens when you market gonzo formats.

But... its Canada. The American legal system won't have a clue what you are talking aboot.
