Sure hope not. I don't like Gnome. I think it is much slower than KDE (it was everytime I tried it). And I just can't get to grips with the way they seem to have all dialog buttons reversed. Usability experts my.... The button you use most should be on the left. At least in the west, where we read from left to right. I don't get why they want to switch them around.
In Denmark, lets say the police accidentally searches your house without a warrant, and they find something nasty, the law says that just because the police didn't actually have the right to be there, then that doesn't make you less guilty.
I think that is fair enough. Of course I am Danish.
I feel for Borland, but at this point I think they should fold up their tent and die. They're beyond any hope of recovery, thanks to retarded management and marketing.
Could you or anyone else please explain to me why Borland should quit when they have a thriving application lifecycle management business?
What they are trying to do, is to focus their activities on those parts that are most profitable. That means selling off the not nearly as profitable RAD tools. They are doing what many companies that are not making as much money as they should be are doing, which is to concentrate on what they are good at. This makes sound business sence.
Actually most RAD tool customers are fairly happy that the tools are being sold off. For some time they have not been given all the attention they needed, and the quality of new releases has suffered because of it. They are hoping that new owners will bring the tools more into focus, and get some of the few quirks ironed out.
My company uses Delphi as the primary development tool. I think its the best product available for Win32 programming. The compiler is insanely fast and efficient, and the IDE is for the most part very easy and logical to work with. Oh.. And btw.. Object Pascal rocks!
Since the 2.6.16 kernels are still being maintained with regard to bugfixes, the statement is valid. The vulnerability was fixed in maintainance release 2.6.16.24 and versions of 2.6.16 from then on forward are ok.
Oh.. Say.. Just about every business operation in the world?
There are fascilities available to make it easier to type it so in the real world you don't have to type everything twice, although in some situations it is necessary.
I don't think anyone expected that a weekend conference would bring about the final answer to the quantum gravity problem. But getting great minds together to discuss wacky ideas is a good thing as far as I am concerned. Physics conferences are common occurances. I just wish they all took place on exotic tropical islands..
My main problem, being a physicist myself, was that the essay mostly read like mindless gibberish, repeating the same sentences over and over again, as if the repetition would somehow bring more clarity.
You know, to be fair, web/user/virtualmin are probably high quality products on their own. I don't know what it really boiled down to, but the debian packages that was part of the distribution ended up being buggy and unmaintained. Therefore the packages was removed from debian a while back.
One annoyance I had personally was that it didn't use Debians way of dealing with apache virtual hosts, and the config file ended up being one big unreadable mess as a result.
One advice i would give is that as a Debian user, I expect most everything I install to come in nice little.deb packages. I think the effort could be better spend on making debian packages, compared to creating a custom installer.
In simple terms, the reason parents teach their kids 'to be good', is because it's just easier to learn that way. I believe the kid would eventually learn the benefits of being good, just from observing the reactions of others when it behaves badly. But that would be a slower, more painstaking process.
AlternC is thoroughly integrated with Debian. Which means it knows about how Debian does things and doesn't screw up your system, like virtualmin for instance.
I have used it on a couple of sites now, and I am pretty happy with it. The only inconvinience with it is that the lead developers are French, and the English translation isn't exactly perfect, but it is only a minor one.
As I understand it, for what you did to work, the ripper has to generate a fingerprint of the song which can be matched against the database. I don't know the exact details of how it works, but in general terms the fingerprint is not an exact hash like for instance SHA1. Instead it is something that allows for approximate matching, so that if a songs fingerprint matches another fingerprint to a certain degree, then there is some high percentage chance that it is the same song.
Originally freedb did not have fingerprint matching, but perhaps they have made some extensions. Musicbrainz on the other hand has had fingerprint matching for a while. (From the start?)

Are you sure you were not really using musicbrainz? I don't think freedb is able to do this.
If the human body performed universally better when 'it was on' a particular substance. I would wonder why the body hadn't developed the ability to produce said substance by itself through evolution.
This is not the same as the body needing particular chemicals which can only be supplied through the food, since obviously if the substance is readily available in a food source, there would be no need to develop the ability to produce it on its own.

I. Don't. Wan't. To. Use. A. CLI. That's why I use KDE.
Agreed. Even IP Datagrams on Avian Carriers is better in that category. But the bandwidth is definitely higher.
Right on!

You know, the funny thing is, I even looked up 'curriculum' on google before I posted, and still managed to mistype it..
What's wrong with 'And'?
It was on the cirriculum for my english class in high school. And I did read it.
Hmm..And on top of that, they are all features normally associated with overlords... .. I, for one, welcome them..

I was going to say pretty much the same thing.

Seems like the only thing keeping CORBA alive these days is Gnome.
If I understand things right, it is a very fundamental part of the architecture, so it's not likely to go away any time soon.
Hell, a mere followup to StarCraft would be nice. I mean, how much longer are people supposed to put up with 640x480 pixels???

Ok.. Up to tree weeks ago, I would have been correct.. Honest mistake. Thanks for clearing things up.
