Quit a job because the company attempted to take an open source project off me (that I'd worked on in my spare time) and sited clauses in the Job contract as to why they could do this (it would never stand up in court) but what really anoyed me is that my boss said 'This is the way the software world works, if you don't like it you can stack shelves for Asda', I quit after my holiday in Boston;-) saying 'Not only would I get paid better stacking shelves, but I wouldn't have to argue why my own creations are not owned by the company'
These sorts of systems are feedback and the brain would get used to it, as long as the window returned to the same 'space' when the head was in the same area and it had motion stabalisers to stop the window wobbeling it should be ok.
The parents parent is just unimagenative view point who's getting to middle to late age.
Engineers make thing from whats avaiable to produce the best design for the end result
Developers create new ideas and methods that seem really cool
Programmers code the idea's into a working product
It's even better when you can get a person who good at all 3, more likly there good at 1 and 3 or 2 and 3
Emails are comunication not office/production I always regarded bundeling Outlook in MSOffice as a bad move and Never install it.
besides, Thunderbird is much better and getting even better every day, why bother with Outlook any more?
I belive 'a' can be licenced under what ever terms you like, but 'b' and 'c' must remain under GPL and what ever changes you make to b or c must go back to the comunity.
unless 'a' is apart of 'b' or another GPL led project and then you attempt to take 'b' with 'c' propritory by adding 'a', then I belive it wouldn't work and you'd be in violation.
It's better to work with moduralised code because then 'a', 'b' and 'c' have more definition and you won't get stuck releasing glue code to your 'a'.
Interesting you should say that because one of the effects of autism is the inability to see wholes, suffers can only see parts.
There is a theory that autism is an extreme male brain, with all the balances gone. it is probible that men find it harder to comunicate simply because they are men.
(not an excuse just a theory)
Does anyone know what the copyright is on Terries work, because normaly you need to ask the auther before doing such things.
Maybe theres a clause somewhere that you can make a film of a book as long as it's for charity, but I dout it.
Your right that KDE/Gnome are becoming too heavy, they have big problems when it comes to modularity and I'm sure there working to redress them.
There are also problems with the lack of development on Xfree which is only now being addressed by xorg, but that will take time to get to anything like Mac/NextStep/Cocca
There are problems with hardware information standards, i.e there are none, it's all higled pigldy even if a module exists in the kernel for my dodar the connection between device information, hardware information and driver isn't as standard or compleat as would make it powerfull.
I say invest in Linux ground projects to better the information flow and standards in the core, look at what proper standards did for html, I would like to see that in Linux.
I kind of like IBM making money out of Linux, it means they have a stake in what happens to it and will more than likly contribute to it's growth and development.
since Linux will remain open source it's really both of us that benifit, the company makes money and Linux gets some of the holes filled in with great wads of cash.
This sort of thing should be illgal and land the people involved in serous jail time for attempting to take control and/or influence a governments elected by the people.
It's a crime and I want any CEO/Manager/Owner of such activates to take social responsibility for their actions.
It's a funny irony that as Linux has grown, simply because of Microsofts attitude, that Billy and Steve have become almost obsessed with Linux. that they have in my eyes ended up looking like silly cartoon villians.
The UK has Data Protection laws now which mean that if employees have access to personal information they have to have a damn good reason, and if they don't the company is liable.
thats not wealth, thats technolegy and invention, remember inflation and remember how many people had carts back in the days.
look at the figures, I agree that quality of life is better but freedom is not, because a few still control the worlds resources.
When someone buys the right to wear sweaters, is it then fair that he prosicutes you for 'stealing' his interlectual property even though the sweater is yours?
thats what is done with software, I come up with an idea, on my own, investing my own time, and some big company comes along and says 'we own this, it's no yours any more' and they do this all the time and you can't see whats wrong with this.
I belive information and idea's have no right to be patented, a patent is a monopoly on an invention _NOT_ an idea, to have a monopoly on an idea is very bad thing which becomes even more acute in the fast paced idea hungy IT world.
so no RSA and LZW shouldn't be patented as idea's, only as inventions, and since they don't make sense as purly inventions can't be patented.

Can you impliment Qt as a layer?

With our higher population density 57 million british out number each other much more, droning out the sickly sweet american 'culture'
Not quite, the generators don't work like that.
It'll be a barrier to coastal erosion which badly effects some parts of the world.

I'll get you next time Linux! just you wait!
no evil is correct.
Yes but while humans have massive error correction, 802.11b/g dosn't.
Whats with the personal attack? mental help, sir I take offence!

The poor these days tend to end up with debts rather than nothing, thats a good place to be for most.

At least with Linux you can fix the problem.
