there was another film i saw (had the white bloke from pulp fiction, cant remember his name). some dude was writing a virus (or worm or something) and it said on the screen with a very graphical interface "creating virus" or something.
it made me laugh (isn't gcc good enough for these people that they need a framebuffer and a custom compiler/frontend that says "creating virus" but gives no output)

Next Generation X11

· Score: 2, Insightful
its because xfree86 was so stagnant for so long, now xorg is the popular x11 we are seeing fast development again. hopefully this will continue and we will get a great x11 again.
northern ireland is a separate country from ireland (EIRE).
northern ireland is part of "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland", not Ireland (Ireland uses the Euro instead of sterling, and they are completely separate now).
has anybody seen the episode of the simpsons (treehouse of horror iirc) where the two aliens say "earth was created 6000 years ago by god" then they cross their chests and mumble some religeous stuff?
thats quite possibly the funniest thing those aliens have done.
ianal, iirc: a company name is protected by trademark, if the url is made up from the trademarked name (microsoft.com) and your website is called (microsopht.com), you are infringing on microsofts trademark.
if you write a book called Microsoft's Business Practices, the name of the book is not (usually) your company name and is just a short description of the book.

hmm - how about an activex plugin that only allows activeX plugins from a configurable subnetmask that is hardcoded to allow everything accept 0.0.0.0 (the whole world - therefore useless to home users but not to corporate types).
Or maybe disabled and only enableable through a config file (that would scare most people off but could be distrobuted corporation wide as part of an MSI)
i think opera is by far the best browser on the market (for me anyway). It has text ads (google adwords) now anyway and theyre smaller than they used to be.
i had a friend who put a stick of ram in backwards in his computer (it didn't fit, he just didn't check properly). He turned it on and it started smoking.
usually i'd trust him with my computer but that was appalling(ly funny).
apple is only a monopoly if you fiddle the stats like a salesman. apple is a member of the pc industry, of which it has (iirc) much less than 5% market share.
By your logic, sony are a monopoly because you cant buy a games console thats 100% compatible with the playstation 2.
Microsoft is a monopoly and (with good reason) monopolies have to play by different rules.

the only bit i can remember from that film are that "creating virus". i must have blocked the rest out.
Xorg is a fork of XFree86, they are both implementations of X11 (along with a few others that afaik died a death)
as far as i can tell, its much more smooth dragging a window whilst using kompmgr (not sure about xcompmgr) than it is without.
If only the composite stuff would suddenly become stable enough for everyday use.

I dont think they'd be a problem, im guessing bash doesn't understand outrageous comical accents.

that was my point captain obvious.
seriously though, all i meant was its another tick in the "good signs for life" column

wouldn't geothermal activity by a good sign for life also? (at the bottom of our ocean, specialised creatures live off geothermal vents)

I think it would be more likely for it to do this

i actually stole that phrase from another slashdotter over a year ago and i thought it was funny so it stuck in my head.
Jenna Jameson might not go out with me but there are "Hundreds of hot singles in your [my] area, dying for hot sex" or something like that.
oh rite, i thought you meant a linux license (not for opera), as in you bought mandrake or something in a box.
sorry about that.
for a second i thought to myself "oo! i'l buy one and put my gf's comp in it while she's at work"
:(.
by the looks of it theyre not for sale though
Alternatively enable pop3 from gmail and use opera's M2
when you say linux license, you dont mean from SCO do you? or do you mean redhat/suse/whatever license?
i think opera is by far the best browser on the market (for me anyway). It has text ads (google adwords) now anyway and theyre smaller than they used to be.

i had a dodgy motherboard (the RAM slots were dodgy). Linux installed but was a bit crashy, Windows wouldn't complete the install.
Its because Windows and Linux tickle the RAM in different ways.
troll? no.
mod's on crack? yes.
i was merely stating the facts which the parent (to this comments parent) could not grasp/did not know.

you dont know my opinion of apple suing people over violating NDA's (not that its at all relevant).
Apple aren't a monopoly, different rules apply.
Just out of interest, which CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS are in your make.conf
