For one thing, it would force the authorities to find better methods of investigation, instead of this brute force (i don't mean physical force) method. I mean brute force in the sense that they look at every possible option, no matter how unlikely. In a way that's good, but in a way that is bad. It might even be a matter of letting the local authorities investigate first, an descalate if needed. Don't just throw the FBI at everything.
depends. raytracing is primarily CPU intensive and is unable to take advantage of video cards. However, if you're doing something (modelling, render previews, and other things) with OpenGL, then you will see perfomance gains. I'm sure there is tons of info available on why you can't get performance gains by using a 3d card in raytracing if you look at comp.graphics.rendering.raytracing or similar groups. It's probably in their FAQ.
any way to do a remote BSD install after saying over the phone, "hey mom, put that CD marked BSD into your CDROM tray and reboot the computer. What? Satan? Oh, the little daemon. Yeah, just ignore all demonic references... No mom, i'm not worshipping Satan. No mom, I havn't been outside all week."
will be to move this pile of rocks to that corner of the room. When you are done, report to me for your next assignment which will involve one of the other three corners of the room, and a similar pile of rocks. at the end of the day, report how many piles of rocks you set up, and how many piles of rocks you moved.
pay $100+ to play highschool sports? come on now. i wasn't even a trouble maker in school, but if I didn't have sports (i played 2 per year) i could have been. It was all about having fun with kids after school in a safe way. Some parents wouldn't even cough up $10 i bet.
yep. over the course of 5 or 6 years, its been Slackware->Redhat->Debian->Redhat->Slackware . The redhats were version 5.1(i think) the first time, then 6.0 the second time and upgraded that installation throughout the 7.x something versions. Used that until this past winter when I decided I'd rather be slacking it. Nice full circle...
That's interesting... I searched around and all I found were more references that say "valgrind is a virtual mine field of patent issues" or something along those lines. However I have not seen anything about what patents are being infrindged and in what part of valgrind.

Locality of reference... that's why we should all be using profiling tools. I'd like to take this opportunity to promote Valgrind. Ddon't fear the kde URL, it runs in text mode and the requirements page has no mention of kde libs or even X Windows.
It has awesome memory checking, cache profiling and heap profiling.
I'm just a satisfied user, i have no relationship with the Valgrind developers.
Those aren't pixels, they're rocks, and they're being thrown at you for starting another "back in the good old days..." thread.
and back in the good old day, you were lucky if they threw rocks at you. most of the time it was manure, and you were being thrown into it! Ah, Soviet Russia... those were the days.
You should have left your post at just that. Your analogy that follows fails.
The life decisions that some people make pretty much force them to own a car for their daily needs. You cannot go back and change some of those choices. Adequate shelter from the elements leading to health considerations often limits the ability to live in a park, not to mention local regulations regarding public health and sanitation.
Free does not inherantly make something better, but it does allow you to try it out and see if it is better suited for your needs. Hypothetically speaking, I can sure try walking 5 miles to and from the grocery store carrying enough food and other necessities for my familiy for a week. That would cut into my work day, and in inclimate weather be detrimental to my health.
Better is also a question of perspective. Is walking better than driving? Yes, in some ways. You'll get excercise and be in better shape. You'll cause less pollution. You'll save money. However, as i said in the previous paragraph, walking might not be better in your specific case.
This is all assuming your "free" was in terms of monetary cost. when, ever, has free as in freedom been less desirable than not having freedom. in that sense Free is better. This then is more of a philosophical debate than a question of logic.
I havn't ever contemplated distribution, your assuming too much. 1, This isn't about selling anything. It's about recording for future personal use. 2, that the concert ticket was subject to a non-recording clause.
I created a recording, legally. I've since edited that recording to remove noise and improve the overall quality, for my own use.
Don't a lot of bands that have a big recording fan base allow some link right into the sound board? A friend of mine once mentioned this to me, but I don't go to many concerts anymore.
Yeah, I'm under the impression that the concert recordings I've made were done so legally, and I also own the copyright of that recording. The band (maybe their record company) obviously owns the copyright of the songs. As for distribution, I've got no idea.

personally, I think you are over reacting.
go to POV-Ray's search page type in "SSS", select the "just news.povray.org (our user community discussion site)" radio button and then search.
one of the first results should be this thread which looks quite good.
