The only pure colors your eyes can sense are specific frequencies of light that are red, GREEN, and blue.
People tend to think yellow is somehow primary in general because the first place they learn about "primary colors" is in grade school art class where they are learning about the primary colors of pigments, which are subtractive, not additive.
Strictly, the primary colors in the additive model are not "red, yellow and blue" but Magenta, Yellow, and Cyan. Incidentally those are the "secondary" colors in the additive model, while conversely Red, Green, and Blue are the "secondary" colors in the subtractive model.
Go figure.
FYI, the meaning of "subtractive" colors is that pigments applied to surfaces can only lessen the amount of reflected light, so they are characterized by which colors the absorb. Cyan absorbs the red visible frequencies, Magenta the green, and Yellow the blue. Those subtractive primary colors are only "primary" in the sense that an artist uses those exclusively for screentoning to get any mix of color he desires on paper.
But we still only care about the light that's reflected by the pigment, of which only red, green, and blue are actually primaries.
Yellow is an illusion. It's the simulataneous stimulation of red and green sensory cells in the eyes, which can be triggered by mixing red and green light additively, or by a strong true yellow source which has the side effect of stimulating the red/green cells to a lesser degree. (you can imagine that these cells respond to a RANGE of frequencies of light, but they center around R, G, and B.) Because they overlap, we can sense colors in between them in this fashion.
My experience with that...

It's nice, I guess. But what Exceed and Reflection and Starnet let you do which I can't figure out in cygwin is nice is use Win32 window decorations by running it rootless, which really helps since that's how I tend to run most of my session on unix boxes too (remote X windows, not XDMCP). I don't want it taking over my screen, or relying on any local cygwin binaries to provide the windowing environment (even slower).
will not protect her data if the laptop is stolen. It can help prevent remote attackers from accessing it (or you DID help her activate the built in firewall and disable the Windows Server service, right?):-)
That does you little good in some situations as there still are local root exploits. At the very least one should take measures against executable stack exploits (why haven't you used GRSEC yet?)
Also, we need better auditing and unified log formats for PAM and syslog (ala Apache, or Sun's BSM). SNARE is getting there, but it still needs work.
That's red, GREEN and blue that make white. Those are the frequencies the cones in your eyes perceive. When all three are active, you sense white.
Incadescents emit ALL colors, as they are radiating blackbodies (this is also why they are inefficient). Since LEDs can only emit specific colors, they have to resort to tricks to try to mimic the fullband color of incandescents. White LEDs are like florescent bulbs: they emit ultraviolet and use a powder-coating which glows bluish-white as a result. The trick is getting the powder chemistry correct without violating more advanced florescent lightbulb patents.
I've got a case window and I'm working on getting the cpu fire screensaver to work on a strip of ultra-bright LEDs in case instead of pixels on the screen.
The hardest part is getting lots of bright LEDs for cheap, (Still waiting for the mail) and soldering. Yup, I suck at it.
Well, they've got the mechanics down...

Step 1) Download and install NSIS. It's a free script-based install tool creator for Windows.
2) Take a clean system that you want as your "base", then install a patch or an application. Type in the paths, customize the install, etc. etc. Keep in mind whatever selections you choose will be replicated on each machine you will do later.
3) Use the install.log file (used for the uninstaller) and a get a feel for what files, directories, registry keys, etc. it created.
4) Create an equivalent NSIS install script (use the NSIS archive link to find recipes and guides to help out) to do the same actions without prompting.
5) Create the installer on using the files on the test machine and the script from step 4.
6) Put the installer program on a file server, then use SMS or the remote computer management to get each Windows box to download the file and run it at a specified time. This should replicate the installation procedure from the test box (provided you trasnlated the log into the NSIS install script correctly)
I'm sure you could figure out how to use perl to go from the install.log into a NSIS script and build the package all in one fell swoop. You could schedule the machines to all go to download a specific file name every night and run it using the Windows Task Scheduler if you wanted. Just replace it with a do-nothing program when you don't have a patch you want to apply. Just in case, make sure the installer checks to see if the installer has already been run before so it doesn't do it twice and overwrite shit.
This sounds like a cool project! Now I'm all interested.
xine and mplayer have more than once traded code. I expect some crazy fool will take those patches and cram it into mplayer CVS at some point in the next month.
using apache to serve documents to people. (imagine that!)
What about people using java servlets? PHP?
What about SSI and makefile maintenance, or more sophisticated CMS systems?
What about using Apache as a proxy server. Media streaming server... server management consoles... etc.
Do any of those common applications require the use of Perl with apache?
No. So just because you think that they go hand in hand, let me assure you that they are seperate entities designed to exist on their own. Why don't you ask Larry Wall if apache is really an XS module? Maybe you should email the Apache Foundation and tell them to start distributing themselves via CPAN.
the external filtering stages of Sendmail, postfix, qmail or Exchange's SMTP engine. You know, the place where you can run an external program on the email message. Since ALL of the reviewed spam classifiers were chosen because they run from the command line with only the message as standard input and a classification as the output, I'm sure you can write a quick perl script to use it in that context and acheive the mail accept/reject feature you need.
Maybe you add in an extra header: (X-Int-Spam: Yes) to let downstream clients deal with delivery options.
Sorry buddy. You're really looking for Open Office, then, which can sort of understand it. As long as the charts and attached memos aren't too complex (or rely on some weird OLE control), it can usually import them.
Gnumeric is just for straight spreadsheet work (and it's damn good at it too).
I've installed Apache tons of times without support for mod_perl, and let me tell you unless you are doing a LAMP installation you don't want to think about it.
Similarly, there are tons of non-perl apps that use MySQL as a backend for various reasons (usually to supplant huge flat configuration files or logs).

Let me get this straight. He made an analogy about building a company on a LICENSE, to writing software in quicksand.
I think what he meant to say was "Building your enterprise software using a GPL license is like building your company on quicksand" or something like that but he is so full of shit he can't get a coherent analogy to the reporter. Didn't the copy editor of that story pick that up, or do they want him to look like a fool.

1) Hydrogen gas isn't dense enough, even mixed perfectly with oxygen, to provide the force needed to fuse nuclei.

And scratch their beards... Even the women. Right.
They complement each other, really. It's good for Sun to have Linux to push on workstations instead of Solaris.
Linux boxes make good clients (and servers, usually) for NFS/NIS, Sun's automounter, LDAP, they support PAM, etc.
There's a lot of parallels in configuration and functionality, so it's easy to have admins who can handle and integrate both.
I'm not saying other OS's DON'T play nice, but I've found Sun + Linux a natural match in an infrastructure, moreso even than OSX.
I think Sun sort of senses this, and that's why they tolerate and assist OSS (Linux specifically).
should be built into it too?
