That what you talk about is nor real altruism. Real altruism, like on the entomology definition, means "Behavior costly to the individual but beneficial to others".
Let's say, a bee is altruist, because sacrifies itself (literally) to sting a predator and protect the hive.
I quote, "Some projects are started because the programmer had an alruistic motives". But if these developers were not harmed while starting the project that is not real altruism, but natural group dynamics.
But, on the other side, the people on the optimization team can do its job better if they have decent equipment.

You try, unsucessfully, being funny.
The problem to be tackled here is that some KDE core developers spend over 24 hours in a full compile. That is way off from your "Hello world", surely made from already compiled libraries.
culturally, the OSS 3l337 reject anybody without super-skills. don't even pretend that this isnt true.
First, there is not such a thing as a "OSS 3l337". On this business everybody has its own slice of the community, there is not a high level conspirancy as you imply.
Second, everybody has super-skills of some kind. If someone gets rejected on any sector it is not for not having them, but for refusing to let them show.
Well, I was not really asking for the obvious; I was expecting that people that had done that before would tell me how is it done. But you hit on good points anyway; it's good to work on increasing the userbase first.
And at risk of sounding presumptuous, I DO have talent of my own:)
>>>Do you know that sourceforge has a "Project Help Wanted" forum, right?
Well, that's why was I asking. I'd like to hear experiences of other people with that kind of things.
>>>Get something usable (or at least a proof of concept) working
Working code ready.
>>>Four, Usenet.
That's something I still have to try, thanks.
>>>go ahead and tell us what your project is
https://sourceforge.net/projects/elcad/ Please don't slashdot my poor homepage:) I didn't want to appear as simply promoting, but thanks for asking.
>>>I think one of the reasons that people build open source projects is to prove themselves
I have high expectations about that project, and can't find the time for fixing autoconf, setting.deb packages correctly, building a user interface, and that's just what I've found until now. I don't think that the "lone programmer" paradigm will be enough for it.
Not exactly the 49%. If I remember correctly, between 22-24% are average, around 38% are under average and 38% are over average on a normal distribution. That's from the back of my head, it's probably a bit off.
That is the point where most people learns that they have gone too far. But did they? No, of course not. May this serve as a lesson for future generations.
I would, but anyway I'm not expending my money on a company that treats me like that. If someone would be so kind of sending me a dump of the CD to crack it I'll think about it. And only on my spare time. None of my money will go to them.
But if you have an OpenGL driver, what does Mesa do?
a) Shows you how is it done, since you can peer at the source, and b) gives you an alternative if OpenGL is not good enough for you. Small benefits, and you may not care, but for some people these are good qualities.
At apache you can use mod_rewrite
to forbid access to files ending with a tilde automatically. Optionally, turn off backups at your ~/.emacs or set the backups directory out of your public_http.
Slashdot Mirror
cat has eleven options. Eleven. For an application that only redirects a stream.
It concentrates on only one task, but for its weight I'd say it's feature rich.
voice control
I don't think so. Many people like working in silence.
That's because there's not such war. I found this explanation somewhat convincing. Not a war, at most a contained set of incidents.

Has nothing to do with repairing your own car. It is about the RIGHT to repare your own car. If you decide not to use it, fine for you.
Agree.

Advogato sounds like a great idea, thanks. By the way, I was already using a plugin-like system; my program extends using Python modules.
Interesting? That's at best funny... and the kind of thing that I'm avoiding already!

There's no toolbar button or hotkey for this
If you press a key combination while some option is active on the menu, that becomes the hotkey for that command.
Number one software rule, respect the OS GUI's guidelines.
Silly me. And all this time thinking that number one software rule was "Do not dereference a NULL pointer".
Nothing. But since this one is hopeless that's the best I can expect.

When everything else works just right, thank you, and wants to upgrade only Direct3D.
That poem reads just like a song from Laurie Anderson...
"screening out the huge amount of unlistenable crap that's out there"
Word on the street can do wonders at screening quality. Or at the web. You just have to ask to anyone that knows. That's enough for me.

Easy. Blender. Or any 3d modelling app. You're going to need acceleration on that cases.
