No, gnome uses the LGPL (as does KDE by the way, it's only QT that's GPL - or QPL if you so desire)
Which allows you to distribute binaries that are dynamically linked to it without providing source.
QT's commercial license is cheap enough for anyone who's serious - maybe not your average shareware developer, but certainly any software company wouldn't blink at paying that much for quality development tools. - Just look at how many throw away money on junk like JBuilder (my company bought me an $AU6,000 JBuilder enterprise license even after I told them I was going to use Eclise + MyEclipseIDE instead).
I think it's a demonstration of how beauty is in the eye of the beholder, or maybe that we always prefer that which is familiar to us, that people in the USA actually seem to think it's possible for their currency to get any uglier, or that other currencies are uglier.
SPF and Sender ID are not the same thing - though they perform the same role in similar ways. I don't believe SPF is patent encumbered like microsoft's Sender ID was. It's also simpler.
why would that be a reasonable user requirement? It may be a common user desire, but that doesn't mean it's either reasonable, or a requirement.
Hell, I want my optical media to be writeable in 5 minutes, but I've got to put up with 15 - 20 for DVD at the moment.
A user will put up with what they get - if they want a 1TB disc, and the only one that exists takes 2 hours to fill, then they'll deal with it.
Transfer rate has almost never been an important issue in optical media - it's pure storage size that matters most.
also, you appear to have made the rather bizarre assumption that nothing else is going to change in six years...138MB per second may well be quite obtainable.
You mean windows where Adobe have their own interface, every media player has a different interface, and Microsoft invent a new interface with each release of MS Office?
If that were the only error we ever saw, it would be wonderful. At least that is an easy mistake to make, as at first glance it appears to contradict the general rule of 's for possesive.
But things like "then" instead of "than" - or worse the double error of "different then", or the whole they're, their, there mess, consistent bad spelling (rediculous) and the invention of entire new words (virii, and spotted in a comment recently "scenarii") are what really get me down....
I'm not expecting perfect grammar or spelling in every post, typos happen, and when someone is in a hurry to make a point, the style will suffer.
But the frequency of some errors gives the impression that people aren't even trying...
Well as a New Zealander who now lives in Australia, I'm actually agreeing with the Pom. (and that's saying something).
Yes, the rest of the English speaking world pretty much does speak British English. More or less - considering that most of the UK can't even agree on what British English is, there's always some variation.
No, a hue is the actual colour portion - red, yellow, blue, etc.. (hence HSV, Hue, Saturation, Value)
I've heard of tint as being what you get when you add white, but I've also seen tint used in the Hue (colour) sense too, so I'm not sure what the appropriate word really is...
Realtime in the context of 3d rendering engines means that it's intended to be able to render a scene at a number of frames per second - thus allowing changes to the scene in Real Time - ie. immediately. In other words, it's a 3d Engine suitable for use in a game, or other interective software. The alternative is a batch renderer, where you would start it going, and then walk away.
The phrase "Real Time" is absolutely not limited to the applications you seem to think it is, and has a wider meaning that extends completely beyond the software world...
In the real world, "Production software" is software being used in production. Not software that the authors think is ready for production.
Firefox and GAIM have both been used "In Production" for a long time now.
Version 1.0 is completely meaningless as any measure of quality or production readiness, so I think it would be far less confusing if the first version placed out for people to download - regardless of its degree of completion - is called version 1. Because that's what it IS.
People are quite capable of understanding the fact that version 1 is not finished yet, or not considered stable yet, using artificial 1 numbers doesn't magically make version 1.0 mean anything, as it's still just another release in the chain....
Date based release names actually make the most sense, as at least they tell you something relevant about the release (how new it is).

Disable the border then.
It's in the settings for Konsole.

hmmm...airlink, I'll have to have a look for them, thanks.
;)
Buying international probably isn't a good idea, due to differening laws regarding airwaves, but at least now I know what to look for....
I'll read some reviews first of course though
add a zero to each of those figures and you have the cost in $Au.
I've been looking lately and PCI cards are $100, access points are between $130 and $200, and routers/DSL modems are $200 - $300
I'd be interested in knowing what brand PCI card you can get for $US10 and is it a, b or g?
well at least en was at one point in our history an appropriate way to pularlize a word, so I've got to say it's an improvement on virii.

Just thought you should know.
So to do a thorough evaluation of AMD vs Intel performance on Linux we need to compare with a G5?
That's just silly.
Congratulations for correct use of the term "raise the issue" instead of saying "beg the question"!
but that's hardly a new paradigm is it now?
This is slashdot - when contemplating whether or not something is a subtle reference to a literary work, or is just illiteracy, go with the latter.

well, you know what Governments are like, they like nothing better than to be able to tell themselves that they even control the seasons :)
myabe you could read the article where that possibiltiy was explored.
Actually, Summer officially starts on December 1 for us.
even with the apostrophe?
Windows and nibbles on the same screenshot don't have apostrophes - but then again, they're English words....
