Qtopia a development kit for Qt-embedded, which is Qt + some drivers for mouse/keyboard, a simple windowmanager and a video output to linux framebuffer.
Some KDE applications run on Qt-embedded directly, and there is a continous effort to kill X11-dependencies to be more easily migrateable along with Qt.
It's is reference to the movie "Bowling for Columbine" where the leader of the National Rifles and Gun Associations (Charles Heston I think) states exactly that.
AFAIK beer is now sold in metric pints, that is exactly half a liter. It was invented because everyone realised pints would never fall out of use, and it has the added bonus of being a slightly larger beer..
It is still pretty good. Wine doesnt run most windows applications out the box, only those it has been tested against made to run. In this case they have properbly ported their applications to a subset of win32 that works well in wine.
Even if not perfect, it shows that they care about the Linux market.
It is quadrupling the price, but only because the stores use the tax as an excuse to raise the profit-margins. The same thing happened here in Denmark, except the price only doubled.
Not a chance. They settled. It was the perfect battle to fight out in courts to raise public awareness of how evil the RIAA are.
I for one wont support them when they chicken out to get a settlement. OTOH if they had fought and been fined, and would be glad to help by even a large amount.

Not directly, but a good compiler could emulate it. By making all pointers 32bit + base. The Base would have to be either a simple constant(like 0) or in a register, but there would still be more registers than in old x86 code.
Not for companies. Before Munich switched to Linux, they where given a special deal not given to anyone else: They were allowed to buy MS Word, without paying for the entire MS Office Suite. That "gracious" offer, was part of what pissed them off enough to buy a 20% more expensive deal from IBM and SuSE.
(I wouldnt do companies any good to buy the consumer versions since they are a lot more expensive per seat)
And then there is the language of Greenland. Although Grennland is in North America, it is part of the Nordic Countries through it's connection with Denmark (and closeness to Iceland).
Is it too much to ask that the next C++ will use the standard C string type instead of its own reinvention and kitchen-sink-itis that it suffers from at the moment?
I ask because the number I've always heard is 200mg of caffeine in a cup of coffee, but I've also been told there is not such thing as real coffee in the US, unless you bring and make it yourself.
In contrast there is about 50mg of caffeine in a cup of tea, but with a tea-cup being larger than a coffee cup. IOW tea is normally a whole lot weaker.
No Europe has required GM foods to be clearly marked, but since the marking system hasnt been finished yet, this has been an effective ban and punished as such.
The system has been delayed since US producers refuse to track the origins of their products, and there has therefore been a risk of having to label all US food products as GM. The US government ofcourse objected to this thus delaying the new system.
Actually Aptivas very utter shit and mostly unsupported even in the old days. My sister had one, and it was so generally incompatible with everything, that it needed special keyboard-drivers even for Win3.1, it never worked under Win95 and has hardware un-upgradable (lots of slots and stuff, but all non-standard and unsupported even by IBM).
IBM are cool and all, but dont get all fuzzy about it. Aptiva is just one major failure, late deskstar harddrives is another.
Those options only enables you to use SIMD-specific extentions in your code. GCC cant do any vectorization on its own yet. People are working on it so expect something good for gcc 3.4 or 3.5.

Don't give them any clever ideas!

And use ID-blocker
No you got it wrong too.
The USA is a Representative Democracy, that just happens also to be a republic too, in both the two ways a republic is defined:
1. Head of State is president
2. Consist of member states with some degree of autonomi.
Same API, same thing.

Why replace them at all?
It worked fine earlier and they are part of latin1, so they should be displayed fine on any computer supporting english(!!).
The what? You mean "rov"?
:)
The danish language is incompatable with your inferior keyboards
Though the term "liter" could refer to just about anything, since it isn't either a metric or an SI unit.
:)
Yes, it is. But english and americans misspell it all the time. The metric and SI term for what you call a litre is a liter. Sorry
It's is reference to the movie "Bowling for Columbine" where the leader of the National Rifles and Gun Associations (Charles Heston I think) states exactly that.
Taking in that context I think it's a joke.

Now we just need metric pounds and metric miles

4) Look at the MIPS ISA.
Why?? When they already owns the rights to the Alpha architecture, which is like:
MIPS eXtreme!

How about 25 million russian deaths?
What does that have to do with anything?

He must be thinking of easy girls, which depending on your attitude can be pretty cute as well.
(IMX, british girls loves anyone who doesnt look like a typical british guy. And you cant really blame them.)

Yes, scandinavia is geographical term, but it is the peninsula that has been named after scandinavia, not the other way around.
It is called the Scandinavian peninsula, because it's the large peninsula in scandinavia, but scandinavia is more than just that.
The "nordic countries" is a political/cultural term for the old territories of Denmark and Sweden.
And then there is the language of Greenland. Although Grennland is in North America, it is part of the Nordic Countries through it's connection with Denmark (and closeness to Iceland).
Do you know how much 2^48 bytes is?
Mark my words: No current 64-processors will work with 2^64 bytes of memory..
The first 64-bit mainstream processor the Alphaes, could by default only access 2^42bytes of memory and that is still pleanty for many years to come.

Computers with AMD chipsets (76x-series) have something similar, and the most recent VIA chipsets has as well.
Also Intel has the majority of the chipset markets, so all new common desktop computers can generate random noise ( What a truly amazing feat).
