But they do. The GNOME developers are just refusing to use C++ libraries regardless of whether they use KDE features or not, and KDE developers see no reason to develop libraries in inferior languages.
The issue crops up time after time on freedesktop.org. Using glib is "okay", but libstdc++ is evil.
No the POWER architecture is also 32/64bit. The main differences between POWER and PowerPC is the name. POWER supports a few legacy extention that PowerPC does not, and PowerPC has Altivec (IBM has a different name for it though).
The IBM 970 PowerPC is the POWER 4 processor, scaled down a bit to allow for cheaper massproduction, and with Altivec instructions added.
Btw. When IBM first announced the 970, it was promoted as the IBM processor for Linux desktops and workstations, it was only when Apple opened their eyes and embraced it that the focus changed.
No it's a stable point, this means that small changes are unimportant as you will be dragged back in position, unless you exceed the exit energy level.
Couldnt this be a sort of DMCA case. You put something in place to protect your "property" and a company creates a device specifically to circumvent it?
Of course I know that the DMCA only counts for companies, but still...
On the other hand, that's not as bad as it sounds. At least, unlike my nation (Britain), I can't think of any occasions when America has lost any significant military engagements despite having superior numbers and equipment.
That is, isn't the noble prize reserved for those who make a massive contribution to science and/or human wellfare?
There is a nobel prize for literature, but none for computer science. Which makes the biggest difference to humanity?
The nobel prize is just the most famous yearly prize for best scientific accievement. The peace nobel-prize I guess, was made to make up for the fact that the money that funds the prizes come from the Nobel-weapon industry (although they have expanded and now cover more than just explosives).
No, that was more a government spread urban legend. And not backed by any real reseach.
Recent thorough studies have shown no long-term health benifit of circumcision, but instead a very small a risk of permanent damage. For this reason the official recommendations for circumcisions have been withdrawn.
Also the US is the only non-arab, non-isreali country ever to recommend the crazy thing, while the EU, based on the recent research are considering banning it (the same way female circumcision is).
The problem isnt core glib (which arts and some koffice filters already uses), but the extention gobject.
GObject contains the "GNOME" event-loop and object system, and is what makes integrating GNOME and KDE applications hard.
For KDE to use GStreamer, we would need to have two event-systems and two object-systems and a patch to translate between them. Or in other words an invitation to crap.
Oh yes it was. I dont know who invented it or why, but it appeared once in while in the 80s, although it might just have been an intersection of danish and swedish, mostly using words common to both.
We still use some of it when writing danish cheques. We have to write something like "Tretifem" (Three-ten-five) for 35, but in common danish it would have been "femogtredive" (five and thirty).
LEGO also has a trademark on its blocks. That makes it very hard to make compatible sets, because making blocks that looks like LEGO would violate the trademark.
Actually drinking moderate amounts of coffee is know to be benificial to most functions of the body, even resistence to diseases.
The magic point with coffee is around 6 cups a day, where the bad effects starts to kick in (increased risk of ulcers and heart-problems).
We can just hope the risk for diabetes is also reduced for less than 6 cups a day, otherwise we have to count cups to make sure the hit the magic number every single day;)
The argument is still the same. Most movies are released on DVDs for the press before they run in the theater. If the movie is anticipated enough, you can be sure there are DVD-rips available before the premiere.
Like with most things in life. Problems only gets solved once they truly become a problem. Currently banks takes the responsibilty when they are conned out of money. Once they loose more money this way than it would cost to do something about it, it would change.
The same happens with most laws. The laws the politician creates in the meantime are either of no real significance or to boost personal interests.
A bit pessimistic, I think. KDE 3.3 is scheduled for december 2004 if released on time, and talks are going for making it only 3.2 and half, to give more time for KDE 4.0. That would mean summer 2004. Xfree86 4.4 is already in RC2, with the core-team out the way 4.5 should be out by the end of 2004 too. Also Xserver at freedesktop.org is way more interessting than Xourvert, and should make a lot of splash in 2004.

Core KDE uses Qt, but all the auxiliary libraries that have been designed to be usable by other projects dont (stuff like Arts, DCOP and taglib)

It is not in the copier. It is in the currency. It simply cannot be read by the scanner in an old-fashioned photo-copier.

I think that might be to expensive in fiber. Plus people might start to harvest the fiber for resale. I would rather use a separate cupperline.

Most games.. didnt.
The new generic 3D engines all games use, have all been parallized since Quake 3.
Since most games use a licensed 3D engine they are likely to benifit from 2 CPUs, even if the game developer hadnt thought of it.
Nope. It's to be compared with Pentium IV or duron 1Ghz.
The thunderbirds was almost as fast as the XP processors. The last thunderbird was something like 1.4Ghz and faster than an XP1500+ (1.33GHz)

In danish nu means now as well, so I had rather expected it to be the same in norwegian bokmaal.
Since the word is the same in both danish and swedish, I would believe it would be the same in the constructed and now dead language scandinavian.
Yeah, nice circle there. How do you plan to break it?
You have to start somewhere, not breaking UN resolution would be one place.

It does both. Coffee like sugar gives the body a false feeling of being full, effectively suppresing hunger.
It can't even count the number of times when I've forgot to eat because I was drinking cola or coffee (or both).

I can call the Linux API from closed source apps with no license fee
Nope sorry. You'll have to use system-call interfaces unless you are GPL. Fortunatly it is mostly drivers would ever need more than just system-calls.
As the other reply noticed this is a copy from the last article on Konqueror for OS X.
