Now who's talking bullshit? The GPL places restrictions on what I can and can't do with it. What if I want to develop a closed source commercial product and incorporate some code from a GPL'd product? Can I do it? No! I'm restricted from doing that.
The GPL restriction are not on end-use (I mean running the code) but on distribution. You can do whatever you want with GPLed source code for your own usage. The licence restrictions applies only when you want to distribute the code to others. This is why the GPL is not a licence to which you have to agree for using a program (a licence screen with a 'I agree' button is useless in a install program). So the parent is right.
Do they actually include Jet as part of Windows now?
Yes, they do. Jet was even used in Windows services in Windows NT 4.0 Server, such as DHCP or Winbind even if the the database didn't had a.mdb extension. I don't know if it is still the case in Win2k.
Your problem is not related to XFree or to the rootless mode but would be the same with any X server.
When you start an X server, only the local (started from the same machine) client applications are allowed to display on the X server. If you want to display applications running on another machine, you must explicitly autorise this. From the cygwin bash prompt: export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 xhost + remote-host1 remote-host2 remote-host3...
I made a small batch file that I use to start XFree in rootless mode:
@echo off path.;%CYGWIN_ROOT%\bin;%CYGWIN_ROOT%\usr\X11R6\bin;%P ATH% start XWin -multiwindow set DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 xhost + host1 host2 > NUL
Instead of needing multiples requests from the proxy to find the "proxytorrent.info" which will not exist for most sites, it would be more appropriate for the target server to have an HTTP header (or a tag in HTML) in the reply that says "proxytorrent.info is there", the same way browser find "favicons".
RSS on P2P would be good, but not with BitTorrent

RSS & BT Together?

Distributing RSS feeds on a P2P network may be a good idea. But BitTorrent is not the way to go.
Distribution of content to clients machines is what was called "push" by software companies (Microsoft and start ups) around 1997. Finally they abandonned the idea, as few content was distributed and no standard emerged. RSS feeds is just that, and is succeeding thanks to blogs. In 1997, P2P was a therorical concept and has not been implemented for so-called "push".
The main problem with RSS feeds is not the distribution of the RSS page, but the notification of changes. Today, smart RSS readers (may be they are to few) use HEAD HTTP requests instead of GET requests to avoid loading the whole RSS feed every hour (assuming HEAD requests are correctly handled by the server to return the last modification date). However the ultimate solution would be to replace pulling by pushing. Notifying RSS feed changes over IRC or Jabber seems to be a better idea, while keeping the RSS content distibution with HTTP. For content distribution, a P2P network may be useful to distribute the load after the notification of a change. But the protocol should be much lighter than BT which was designed for big files.
I've searched for a while how to generate documents from a template and data in a database to publish on paper the schedule of my hikers association. A requirement was to be able to reformat the document with a word processor to tweak the page setup after the extraction (so PDF was not a solution).
Finally I developped a solution generating OpenOffice.org Writer documents using Java and Velocity (jakarta.apache.org) -based templates for content.xml/styles.xml of the OOo document. The Java code expose an object model (built from Java classes that handle database extraction) to the Velocity templates.

You are thinking too much with arrays. Two pointers is not two arrays. You can have two pointers that points to the same memory block (the same array).
One pointer will contain the address of a[i]. The other will contain the address of a[i-offset]. Using pointer is more efficient as you avoid one substraction at every step of the algorithm.

There is some other reasons why Sun isn't supporting Eclipse: - NetBeans was open-sourced by Sun before Eclipse - Eclipse is based on the SWT GUI framework which is an alternative to the official AWT/Swing framework bundled with Java - The name of the project is not just a joke, and Sun is not crazy to eclipse itself!

Yes. Microsoft Access stores the application code, forms and all in the .mdb file with the data.

I still don't know how to copy a zip file created by WinXP to a floppy disk. Any ideas?
Take your brain, unplug it, place it back into the box it was delivered in, and ship it back to the factory.
Network is probably the solution as they are already displaying X11 applications on a Cygwin/XFree86 Windows host.
Cygwin/XFree86 can be run rootless, and even using Windows as a WM for better integration.
From the Cygwin bash prompt, launch:
XWin -multiwindow &
There is a startxwin.bat that does that and that is bundled with Cygwin/XFree86.
Very interesting link.

Do you known that there isn't just Europe, US and Canada in the world?
The previous official french word for e-mail was "mél". See http://www.culture.fr/culture/dglf/cogeter/2-12-97 -mel.htm.
However, nobody uses it. And most people don't even know what it means. At least, "courriel" is more obvious so it will probably have a better future.
But how will you add a word to your document?
You should compare what is comparable. Word documents are editable. PDF are not.
It seems you haven't used the graphical SQL OOo query tool. It is exactly the same as in Access.
OK I admit it is quite hidden in the interface.
