You can release the source code of a patented algoritm, but you have to release it after the patent become effective.
Patents laws require taht there is no prior art, not even by yourself. So you must patente before releasing the code.
It is better from a tchnical standpoint, but it could be worse from a practical one. Expecially if WPoison generated pages can be automatically detected.
If I had to print 800 pages I would use psnup to reduce the number of pages by 2.
Here, in Italy, commercial printing cost about 0.03 euro per page, 0.03*400=12.00 euro. Of course it is not cheap, but 12 euro are not that much.
The link you posted refer mainly to astronomical plots. Even if IDL can be considered a good image manipulation program I think it is a real pain to use it for data manipulation.
Furthermore IDL and pm are pretty expensive.
When such a big corporation as IBM say they have to fire lots of employes because of bad financial outcomes you can bet that they are going to move or to outsorce the job to a cheaper country.
In fact it is far too difficult to check if the crisis really occured or if it is a fake. Here, in Europe, a large corporation, or an industry, cannot, in normal conditions, fire so many people.
The solution is both simple and old: a crisis is faked and the people are fired. Then they will hire people somewhere in India or in China. It's easy, you can try this at home!
Perhaps I'm going to burn my karma, but I'm tired of reading this cost/price bullshit.
If you don't want to use windows you simply don't have to click "I Agree" the first time you boot you new laptop. Than it will shut down and you can install Linux on it.
Windows is not really sold, so if you do not agree you do not have it that's all. No expense and no price, simply you should ask the seller to refund you windows in advance. Of course the seller will deny, this because he is a *&%**#@ù, no cost/price bullshit at all.

There are 5 bilion and 600 milions people who don't use Fahrenheit degrees. -20 degrees Fahrenheit = -28.8888889 degrees Celsius
You care about karma far too much, otherwise you would have noticed that OSDL != ODSL.
Pages are in letter size format (187.3x134.9mm^2) how am I supposed to print it with my ol A4 inkjet printer?
If it is written 100% OpenGL *and* it is difficult to port to Linux *then* the programmer is a moron.

$ latex test.tex

and wait until the rendering is finished. (Yes, I'm offtopic)
It was 3 or 4 years ago when I saw a 600 terabytes (0.6 petabytes) tape-based storage system at CERN.
Have you evere tried to compile a LaTeX document including its self?
Perhaps my answer do not answers your question. I think the killer calendare application is not in you PC but it is you mobile phone.

Did you ever drank a granita ?
Communism: The community helping the community, for the sake of the community. Capitalism: The perpetual search for the cheapest solution.
I thought that Capitalism was the overwhelming of men on men and that Communism was the opposite.
Even without the x-ray scanners the cosmic radiation adsorbed by a plane worker (pilot, hostess..) is far more dangerous than any terrorist.
You are so right that nobody will listen to you (please mod parent up).
It took about 25 seconds here at the university on this old amd-K6 (792.57 bogomips).

This is like something that was tried a while ago using graphical passwords.
This is not very different from really old games copy protections.

It's already nearly slashdotted. mirror
If you read the thread on redhat, you will find out that the early-start gdm can shorten the boot process by a dozen seconds. It is not just feel.
I doubt there's much overlap between users capable of doing this and users likely to have malware on their machines.
The graphical easy-to-use task manager uses ps to show you the processes list.
Can any informed person comment on why this is taking so long?
Because linux hackers got tyred of reversing drivers of junk hardware.
Seriously: apple hardware is less common than intel compatible hardware even for linux users.

``and got an apologetic letter too. They EULA says that if you do not agree to the license, you can return it to the retailer for a refund.''
Actually the EULA say that if you don't want to use it yu must return it to the retailer and you can ask for a refund.
