to give the pro-software party more idea's to get the software patent bill passed:
we will use broad software patents to sue terrorists we will use broad software patents to sue those who do organised crime we will use broad software patents to sue commies software patents will allow the hungry african children to innovate their way out of hunger
sorry, i thought you were the poster i originally replied too.
i assumed that (as the poster i originally replied to), 'your' mother would have a fast enough connection for an ftp account, since storage on gmail is fast enough.
obviously your mother may be in a different situation to the original poster's (im assuming she has dsl)
or the shareholders got sick of balmer's dances and chants and burned down the building, with gates, balmer, the only copies of the source code and all the employees with it.
hey, it could happen.
then we could cite backuptrauma.com to the relatives of the recently deceased.
If Microsoft and its products just ceased to exist (disappeared from peoples computers), it would cause a bit of disarray but after a while, people would have mac's and linux boxes.
Apple and a lot of open source hackers do more than the bare minimum, unlike MS.
Linux development would happen at an even faster pace as all MS users would be forced to jump ship to mac/linux/*bsd/other and it would be better for everybody (so long as those bastard shareware authors dont join in)
i said to one of my college tutors the other day: "shit, ive saved this in the wrong format, do you recon i'l beable to install open office on this box?"
he said: "open office? is that made by microsoft?"
gnu/hurd (honest) fuse kde (kioslaves, kgethotnewshithotacestuff) X (was it OSS when network transparency was introduced?) linux is probably innovative, cant think of anything apt-get emerge amarok (kde media player, im sure thats innovative) slashcode?? basket (new kde tool, have a gander - basket.kde.org)
there's billions more, i just cant be bothered thinking any more
The light on landing strips is a specific colour, just as the lights on parts of planes are different colours (i cant remember which color for which part though)
all this would need is a colour which is not used by anything else (blue??).
Slashes and tags aren't for the 'end user'. They're supposed to be played with by people who know what they're doing, not people like you who are either incapable of coding to web standards or too lazy to bother.
Or, write an application to strip the watermark (i may be way off here, but doesn't apple watermark downloads from itms? also, aren't they removed by playfair or whatever that drm-remover is called)
buy dvd find out how encryption works (using your finger) write software to decrypt dvd (using the key [value of your finger]) extend software to write to an MPEG from video distrobute MPEG
Once the software has been written, it can be distrobuted from france and anybody who buys a dvd can use the software to create an mpeg out of it (although it would cost as much as a fingerprint scanner for the initial uploaders first upload)

I think the religeous right are a danger - they would be loyal until bush tried to outlaw godbothering

just as well, if not better than using gmail for storage (that is what you said, isn't it?)

Just get her a PC without a hard disk, just a cheap CD drive and a knoppix CD or even better - a custom/tweaked distro.
/home mounted to the ftp site.
you could use the fuse patchset (apparently in upstream by 2.6.12) with ftpfs, setup an ftp account and keep
freepgs.com have cheap web server accounts, that come with ftp access and plenty of disk space (no subscription either)

they have a nice 2d political compass for you (autheritarian > libertarian and left > right iirc
G++ 4 has an incompatible ABI iirc
vb has had actual, real data types since vb3 or vb4 iirc, i hate vb (its inconsistancies) but it does not force variant data types.
In Ruby, variables are case sensitive, and with good reason, iirc, they are (recommended to be)named like this:
O NSTANT_HAS_A_NAME_LIKE_THIS
myClassNameInCamelCase
my_local_variable
MY_C
i cant remember what variables local to classes are though.
Its very useful as if you are reffering to A_STRING you know its a constand, etc.
i cant speak for rexx because ive never bothered to learn it.
a list of innovative OSS apps:
gnu/hurd (honest)
fuse
kde (kioslaves, kgethotnewshithotacestuff)
X (was it OSS when network transparency was introduced?)
linux is probably innovative, cant think of anything
apt-get
emerge
amarok (kde media player, im sure thats innovative)
slashcode??
basket (new kde tool, have a gander - basket.kde.org)
there's billions more, i just cant be bothered thinking any more
the whole point of .NET was so they had yet another buzzword to throw around:
.NET?
PHB: Is this 'Linux' thingy written in
tech: no.
PHB: does it leverage the power of XML?
tech: er, no
thats all i'm afraid, my buzzword library has gone blank.
thats because thousands of people would be more than happy to 'upgrade' your password.
But the EU could use it to write software in the public interest, then release this software as patches against linux, kde, gnome, X, etc
dvb-t fta channels for the UK:

couldn't this be useful for controlling a set top box for mythtv?
but for the next-next generation of computers, people will be saying "if its cheap enough sure, i'l want to run longhorn in every room in my house"

That would be cracked, here is how:
buy dvd
find out how encryption works (using your finger)
write software to decrypt dvd (using the key [value of your finger])
extend software to write to an MPEG from video
distrobute MPEG
Once the software has been written, it can be distrobuted from france and anybody who buys a dvd can use the software to create an mpeg out of it (although it would cost as much as a fingerprint scanner for the initial uploaders first upload)
