I would like to do that, but my ISP requires me to use their proxy for http traffic, and it's the proxy that resolves domain names. My name server would only be used for resolving the proxy's name. And for non-web traffic of course, I'll admit that.
Making the installer graphical in itself doesn't make any difference towards ease of use. Hardware detection and less technical questions do, but that can be done in a text-based installer as well, with the added bonus that you don't need X just for the install.
I haven't had any problems with the Debian installer , but I can understand it can be daunting to a newbie. Allthough I've seen Debian installations done by people not too acquainted with Linux (but they did have experience with other OSes (sp?)).
Anyway, I'm confident the Debian developers will come up with a decent installer by the time Sarge is promoted to stable.
I'm sure plenty of x86-ities have crept in since they realised no one was asking for cross-platform support, of course.
And on the other side of the pond, Linux was in te beginning not intended to run on anything besides x86. It has turned out otherwise, and Linux now runs on quite a lot of platforms.
I did, at university. Fortran 77. First in 1993-1994 as general introduction to programming (my study was not CS-oriented).
And a few years later, in 1996-1997 to run some very simple simulations concerning... ahum... don't even remember... it had something to do with physicochemics.
Amazingly, I failed the exam, due to a combination of circumstances:
I had been practicing on my Pentium (100 MHz), which compiled the programs in a few seconds, using a decent editor
The assignment asked for a combination of two existing programs (we were provided with a small library of existing programs at the exam)
I wanted to copy-and-paste the two programs into one
The only editor on the PC didn't allow that (!)
I managed to combine them, but it resulted in a number of compilation errors
The damn PC was very slow: a compilation took over 5 minutes, during which I could do nothing else (it was running MS-DOS...)
There wasn't enough time fix all the bugs
2 minutes before deadline, I saw the light: I was supposed to change a few numbers in the first program, let it run, note the output, use it as input into the second program and be done
2 minutes was not enough to implement it that way (remember the slow compilation times)
I didn't see that solution at first because writing down a number on paper as a means of IPC is against my principles
They should be asking "What distro are you using?" and possibly "What version of that distro?", or even "What version of RedHat are you using?" iff they can safely assume they are running RedHat.
But they should never say 'Linux' when they mean the distro.
i am a bit taken aback by this, what i said was by no means to insinuate that children do not develop cancer, nor surely to offend anyone. i think the key words here are "most cancers" this does not mean the same thing as all cancers.
Obviously, children do develop cancer to a certain defree. In an attempt to answer your question why evolution provided us with quite an amount of cancer protection, maybe it is because otherwise even children would develop much more cancer than they do now? Perhaps that would result in even less chance to reproduce than the gained advantage of regenerating lost body parts.
Half of all people are below median intelligence. Average is different than median.
Yes, but in case of a Gaussian distribution (amongst others) the median is equal to the average (and to the modus as well). And I might be wrong here, but I think it is safe to assume that intelligence follows a Gaussian distribution.
Second, how many different polarizations are there?
There are more kinds, circular for example. It means the electric field is rotating, either clockwise or counterclockwise. Eric Weisstein's World of Physics also mentions elliptic polarization.
But, considering that the greenhouse effect of methane is much larger than that of CO2, this is not a problem.
On a related note, many gasses have an effect on the greenhouse phenomenon. CO2 is the most famous one because it's the one that varies the most, and the one that (according to most scientists) has an increasing concentration due to human activities.
If the behavior on Windows is any indication, Delphi and C++ work very well together.
As for gcc/g++, I don't that will be possible. I don't know Kylix but I do know C++Builder (though only with VCL, not with CLX), and it uses a number of extensions to C++ such as properties.
It sounds like "derived" means you've used GPL source in your program instead of merely using a GPL program to create it.
Indeed, that's what it means.
In case you're interested, feel free to read the GPL itself. It's actually written in very understandable English, unlike most other legal stuff. Or see the GPL FAQ for all your questions.
The runtime libraries (which are not really part of gcc, BTW) are not GPL but LGPL, specifically to allow linking non-GPL code to it.
At its conception the LGPL was "Library General Public License" because it was meant for libraries like glibc (the GNU C library), but it's now known as "Lesser General Public License" because it's used not only for libraries but also for a number of applications.
Now there is an exception (caveat: IANAL) - if identifiable sections of a work incorporating GPL software are not derived from a GPL'ed work, then you don't have to disclose the source.
That exception is nowhere in the GPL. If you distribute GPL-derived software, you have to distribute the source. But, when you don't distribute the software (when it's only for internal use), you don't have to disclose anything.
The problem is that (as far as I know, someone with more experience, please correct me) if it was compiled with gcc, it's GPL software.
Huh? Absolutely not! GPL doesn't have anything to do with the input and output of GLP'ed programs, only with the code. Code compiled with gcc is definitely not GPL'ed (unless you license it that way, of course).
Because we don't know if it's off to the low or to the high. If his estimate was 10 times too low, it was really 10B; if it was 10 times to high, it was really 100M.
When travelling a long way, I divide the distance in km by 100 to get the time in hours. Speed limit in Europe is mostly 120 or 130 km/h, so it's somewhat pessimistic, but considering fuel stops and the occasional traffic jam, it turns out to work wonderfully well.
3) Offsides...soo, you're not allowed to have a breakaway at all? I think if you get one you earned it, why should you have to WAIT for a defender to show up so you can continue? Screw that.
I have the impression you misunderstood the rule a bit. If you have the ball, you are allowed to break away with it as much as you like, defenders or not. You're just not allowed to give a pass to a team mate who is camping near the goal.
But I agree the rule as it is should be abolished or completely changed, since it's too hard to tell for the referee in many circumstances.

Blue, and all my ports are closed.
Because Baikonur is in Russia and a Russian Proton rocket was used to place Integral in orbit, as explained here.

Bayer also supplied a lot of the toxic gasses the Germans used in WW I.
There are three kinds of people: those who can count, and those who can't.
(sorry, couldn't resist)
Perhaps, but you can also use View->Show/Hide to make it invisible. Not the same thing as uninstalling, but it certainly comes close.

Let's hope they forget to include monitor rotation devices!!
CH4 (methane) + 2 02 (oxygen) -> 2 H2O (water) + CO2
