I've compiled gcc 4.0 all night and this morning I'm sort of inching carefully towards installing it in the default paths, making sure it compiles everything I've been toiling over.
I still can't run the C++ programs I made, as libstdc++.so.6 wasn't installed in a globally-searched path (they presumably will run when I install GCC 4.0 and all its shared runtime libraries in the default paths instead of a "safe" area), but so far everything is compiling just fine. I have had to add new #include lines to a couple of sources as g++ is a little stricter about scope of global variables (ie, I was able to use errno without #include before, but g++ 4.0 complained. No biggy.
All that's left is to determine whether or not its "safe" to blindly install gcc 4.0 right now or if I should pkgtool uninstall my old gcc. That isn't a problem as much as what to do if gcc 4.0 ends up disappointing and I want to reinstall the original version of gcc I had before, as gcc 4.0's Makefile doesn't really have an "uninstall" target to cleanly remove it. Perhaps I could turn it into a custom package first so pkgtool can do all that dirty work?
As someone who upgrades major packages even more rarely than once in a blue moon, should I pkgtool uninstall my current gcc installation before unpackaging and installing gcc 4? Or will gcc 4 gracefully install over existing files without problem?
And I use GPL fonts in a document without releasing the sources to my document and yada-yada-yada. What are the GNU people going to do about it? Call the police?
I've read a ton of stories on this incident and I still don't know what the hell is going on.
It's like when you see two hip-hop bitches insulting each other over who dissed who first and talking about "rezpekt" and "don't you take my man from me, bitch" and "nuh uh I ain't going to no Lakers game without my purse" and "oh so you think 50 Cent iz better than 2Pac well nuh uh" but you can't figure out what they're SPECIFICALLY arguing about, they're just arguing for the sake of arguing over something that's probably woefully insignificant in the first place.
Johnny Hawk of Global Goon has been doing this for years with his internet remix contests; Beck, David Bowie, and other more well-known artists have also tabbled cautiously in this concept as well. But Trent is not "breaking new ground" with this.
I haven't actually used AdBlock until I saw some of the asinine crap in these topics. Now I'm going to be blocking every ad I come across. My computer, my property, my rules, my terms.
Something with an old school charm in the phrasing. Dunno, how about:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
Oh that was America 1.0. We're living in the New and Improved(tm) America 2.0, where the Constitution doesn't really mean what it says -- it was just joking and a little drunk when it said what it did. By "freedom of speech" it was referring to how, you know, hound owners teach their dogs to sound like humans. By "right to keep and bear arms", it of course meant ARMS. You know, silly-billy! Those things connected to your torso with the hands on them. I can't say any more -- the FEC might be waNO CARRIER
Gee thanks I couldn't possibly have "gotten" that oh-so-confusing joke without someone explaining it in every minute detail. I suggest you also use hand puppets and cute jingle melodies next time to really drive the point home for us stupids.
[[Do you even know what "freedom" means? I'll help you out; it has nothing to do with "follow the leader" or "do what you are told".]]
Does freedom have something to do with the United Nations' peacekeeping forces sitting by idly while a horrific massacre was taking place in Srebrenica?
The difference is, government is better at stealing than it is at contributing. Was it not a government and its zealous moralistic lawyering that drove Alan Turing to suicide? Imagine what more that man would have accomplished and contributed to the field of computing had he not died at such a young age.

Is there an a series of appropriate words to fit the acronym, WASTEOFTAXPAYERMONEY?
Male trucker = squat, fat, has a mullet, wears a vest, dirty jeans, beer cap, and wears plaid.
Female trucker = squat, fat, has a mullet, wears a vest, dirty jeans, beer cap, and wears plaid.
So how do you know if you stumble upon gay porn or lesbian porn with these rest stops??
That'd be easing to know if it didn't strangely feel like these wacky ideas are being beta-tested in other countries for eventual use in the U.S..

Hmm, not as funny when in written form.
Huh? Where does it say Trent uses Jeskola BuzzTracker?

"Postmodern critical theorists" have been doing this same thing since Foucault.

I'm more surprised that the Internet is now available for computers!!

Look, I can make a union worker robot: (empty soda can)
He looks like Jim Belushi and Chris Penn had an ass baby.
How about letting a Great Dane hump him?
