Yes - I used FTL Modula 2 on my Amstrad PCW. It was a brilliant compiler!!! I think you can still download the CP/M-80 version on the internet somewhere. The interface files beat C/C++'s header files!
There was a/net option in 5.2, which allowed you to install it to a read-only network drive. Users could run it from there, and only the bare essentials would be copied to their home directory.
Okay, it's after the deadline, but in mailing list

Subject: W3C patent policy
If the World-Wide Web is indeed to remain "world-wide", it must not
depend on restricted standards. The W3C cannot prevent others from
developing or using restricted standards, but it should not lend its
name to them.
Therefore, the W3C should adopt a policy that all important standards
must have free patent licenses (and thus allow free software).
Perhaps there are some standards for specialized kinds of
business-to-business communication which are sufficiently unimportant
that it may not be disastrous if they are patented. These standards
do not really deserve the term "world-wide", but they may still be
worth the W3C's attention. But standards that really are of
world-wide importance must be free.
The "back-door RAND" problem pointed out by Adam Warner is especially
crucial. When the W3C decides that a certain standard ought to be
patent-free, no circumstances should be allowed to annul that
decision.
Aside from these substantive changes in policy, the W3C should also
stop using the term "reasonable and non-discriminatory", because that
term white-washes a class of licenses that are normally neither
reasonable nor non-discriminatory. It is true that they do not
discriminate against any specific person, but they do discriminate
against the free software community, and that makes them unreasonable.
I suggest the term "uniform fee only", or UFO for short, as a replacement for
"reasonable and non-discriminatory".
We use CUPS (The Common Unix Printing System) and find it very good. It seems they added quota support in 1.1.5, but I can't find any docs. It may be worth investigating this.
I haven't seen any of these titles, but if someone has one, can they try cdparanoia on it? It's a great program to remove all those scratches and so on...
Use a recent version of ghostscript (eg 7.0), as the pdf generation is a lot better. However the newer versions of GS (always) aren't covered by the GPL, but by the Aladdin licence.

I think you'll find that RMS does not follow the gcc list himself (too busy, I suspect), so feel free to mail suggestions! (PS I follow the gcc list).

Found this on google.
gcc has a testsuite. Mozilla has a form of a testsuite.

Vote for this on kuro5hin, as more people will be likely to see this. submission story page
Get ready for Ximian Evolution! A very nice outlook clone. It should work with standard pop/imap servers and does full groupware type stuff.
Would writing to some part of the American government help?
If there's some sort of power glitch, what happens if the data is inconsistent? You'll probably end up with a completely broken file system.
Consider a simple solution. Add another hard drive and rsync the contents from one to the other every so often. Software raid might be an option, too.
Over a VPN link or on a different port? It'd probably get round their restrictions.
In a few months it'll be fine, but not now. Anyway, RedHat can't change ABI in a .x release.
It seems very biased towards newer games, when other games were much more important. For example:
Elite
Elite II
Adventure (plus other important adventure games)
Pacman
...
Okay they put Tetris in there, and I agree with Doom as number 1.

It appears some newspapers can write good articles. If yours doesn't mention it, write to their editor.

Actually you're more likely to damage the drive by switching it on and off. Continuous use doesn't do much damage usually.
C++ has a non-fixed-length "string" data type which doesn't suffer from overflows. You just need a programmer who's going to use it.
Incidently, you could also code a variable length string type in C, and provide functions to access it, like vstrcat, vstrlen...
I'm there - the new building is called the William Gates Building. It stands next to the new Microsoft lab and the Cavendish Laboratories.
Grrr... makes one want to take direct action! (Only kidding, CU authorities).
I suppose they only did it for the money...
I find ghex is great - it's GUI, and uses the open source gnome libraries.
