Actually, its not quite that simple. The contributions from individual people will expire at the end of the term (think of the difficulties required in changing the license from gpl 2 to 3 and contacting all copyright holders)
This means that some parts of the system will be public domain whilst some are copyleft, I am not an expert in copyright law but it seems like it will be messy.
Sure, you can recode the bits which expire but can you so easily say it won't become an issue in future?
Didn't GNU software start 25 years ago? its not as far away as you think.
The problem with this is, the "scream" a planet produces is insignificant to the SCREAM the star it orbits would produce.
Its like trying to hear what someone is saying when they are stood next to the speakers at a rock concert and you are on the other side of the stadium.
You would be better getting a video camera with a telephoto lens and trying to lipread:)

I have returned to c this year after a few years in higher level languages and am seriously considering a couple of basic additions to c which would require similar principles as original cfront. There is no point in reinventing the whole wheel and c++ -> c is no different than [anylanguage] -> asm compilers that exist all around.
I thought you would want something with a low boiling point so you can move the heat as far away from the source as possible? you just need to use more of it to ensure it doesnt boil dry.
Do I recall recently that some sort of worm had attached itself to different forums around?
from the pdf:
page 5 3) It was noted that posting to some web forums through PageSense caused the Javascript tag to be appended to a number of users' posts. A fix was provided for this by 121Media towards the end of the trial, following which the issue was not detected. It should not arise with ProxySense as no tag is appended.
shocking. So far the rest has been as bad if not worse.
I noticed this as well, the comment titles also used to collapse so i could cull the stuff I've read. the first time i did it this evening it opened the comment thread from that location.
Ok, an incrimental improvement where the additional bits of information (2 bits per gun) is used to control the intensity of the LED backlight for that pixel sounds like a massive improvment.
Especially when you consider that black is not black on most monitors.
I got over 12000 one night from a mailing send out to some "Liquid club in Santo Domingo". They sent out a massive world wide spam inviting people to their club.
Its half way around the world from me and I got every single bounceback.
They did it again a few days later as well. Most made it into my gmail spam folder but hundreds didnt.
Depending upon how you build it, you could have an entire roll of foil lenses available and just wind the roll on when the current item gets too damaged.
Of course limit the chances by using a partial enclosure, but since some of it must be open to space then its wise to have spares.
Look for the settimeout values which indicate you want a callback event raising after a specified period.
The period is set to 0, but as with all callbacks, I believe it does not run instantly. (This code used to fail if you just call the flashblockShowPlaceholder() function directly because the actual DOM is not completely initialized)
Most of the time the flash will be blocked instantly, but if other threaded operations are ongoing and the page load is not simple then the flash actually gets time to run.
(If its totally changed and is really secure I will be very pleasantly surprised, but from the looks of things it hasn't yet).
I am also a huge fan of flashblock (I helped code up some bugfixes for it in a prior version), but be aware of its limitations.
Flashblock does not prevent flash running. It removes existing flash from the DOM AFTER it has already been inserted and sometimes the initialization of the flash starts before it is replaced by the clicker.
Granted, most of the time it is removed before the ping time of the destination server with the SWF, but not always. (Notice on a very slow page with lots of html you may see flash for a couple of seconds).
The only way to allow flashblock to block in a sane manner would be to replace the actual Flash binary with our own binary clicker that only calls the original adobe flash binary after clicking to view. Everything else is a hack.
Its a lot more difficult for someone sat outside in their car to jack into your internet connection if you use those antiquated things called wires.
Initial security via a big lockable door is better than any encryption.
(Yes, once it leaves the house it can be jacked with a MITM attack, but I believe most wifi jackers don't carry the equipment necessary to get into my ADSL line or cable connection).
Isn't the problem with XP software that most programs now expect to use more than 800*600? ie: this is not just a problem for Microsoft, but for all app developers. I know in our shop we stopped really worrying about 8x6 a long time ago since most customers prefer detail over big fonts(low dpi) and scrolling - if we design most windows for use at 8x6 it looks awfully cramped on anything larger.
(having said that I am undergoing a retraining of sorts as I adapt to my n810)

What happens when its the Penguins turn?
Then Tux and Linux reach the end of their copyright term will people be happy that the GPL just stops?

The nokia tablets run maemo linux and have a nice hi-res display as well as USB/wifi/bluetooth as well as a camera.
The older models can be obtained for little money and run very well indeed.
Terraforming and manned exploration could occur in parallel.
Yeah, that works really well in all the movies.
KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!
Aren't you just a bit biased?

I doubt its the content, but the passing themselves off as if they are wikipedia.
Thats phishing in my book and very wrong.
If you are that frustrated with it, why are you still using it?
Or are these niggles which can be ironed out and you have routed around them?
Cool, thanks for the clarifications.

Hmmm, i just refreshed slash and "Does ballmer need to go" was at the top.
I thought hmmm dupe time.
Then I noticed EVERYTHING from today was gone.
ahhh well, its back now.

Maybe not worth storing the movies, but you can certainly store the scripts.
Without checking I cannot be certain, but I would imagine that anything hooking onto the DOM event tree is too late.
It may be interesting to see if noscript suffers similar issues.
Maybe some enterprising young security guy could investigate (send reports to flashblock so they an make improvements if required).
Yes, I am sure.
You are right, and I pointed that out at first, it doesnt happen most of the time, but it can occur.
go read the source.

Do I need a password?
It runs native XP apps without having to get a special version.
You have a whole back catalog running on a cheap UMPC platform.

The Windows Me situation was different.
Microsoft had the entire Windows NT branch practically ready and waiting in the wings to replace it with.
With XP coming to the end of its life for desktop machines, what can they move to this time?
