Um... since there are thousands of 'coders' out there that work on open source software for free... why wouldn't there be graphics desingers out there that would do the same?
Seriously... why do certain industries get to make ridiculous claims like this (MPAA, RIAA)? Why do certain industries feel that their ancient business models should work for all eternity (MLB)?
Please forgive me oh Great One for my mistake. I meant to say that most users of linux who have multi-processor machines are using SMP machines rather than NUMA.
There is that better? Or should I still go find a restroom?
Not exactly true. They are complaining about the NUMA code. NUMA is "Non-Uniform Memory Architecture." It means that some CPUs in the system may be "further" away from certain portions of memory than other CPUs and vice versa. Most users of Linux are on SMP machines, in this case all CPUs are equally "close" to memory... so this code is irrelavent to most users.
There are digital cameras out there that record on Mini CD-RWs. So, yeah... people do use them.

No... using the "import" keyword adds that package name to the class search list the compiler uses to expand things like String into "java.lang.String". There is no code linking, importing, or whatever going on.
All java classes are compiled independently in individual files. The JVM "links" things at runtime. So, the GPL could only cover the runtime libraries at this point. However, it gets sticky because the compiler needs class information while it is compiling your class... so the compiler reads the runtime libraries to make type checking decisions... but, once your class file is written, it's not "linked" to the library in anyway.
So, if you compiled with GCJ... but ran your class with Sun's JVM... where does that leave you?

There is a totally logical answer to your question:
The problem is that most people pronounce that word incorrectly. Actually, it's duct tape. Two words. Why? Because it's _tape_, that is used on heating and air-conditioning _duct_ work.
This could be good... maybe SCO will kill Linux. Then all the developers will start writing a new operating system that's not an emulation of 30+ year-old technology. Oh wait... that would be against their religion... nevermind.

michael... wow... like we really care about your DSL problems.
go to hell. fag.
Then create one single GUI API that is highly customizable through plugins.
Window managers should manage windows... not the API needed to write applications.
Ahh... 10base2... what a pain in the ass that was.
"Alot" is a proper word in the English dictionary and does not refer to quantity, look it up.
I think the word you are looking for is "allot".
"or we are faced with hiring graphic designers."

you're kidding...
what ignorant fool writes "your" as the contraction for YOU ARE???

They should move their stuff to Petoria... I hear the queen there is like Hillary Clinton... only without the penis.
Maybe Palm will bring back BeOS after SCO kills Linux.

Now we'll just have illegal copies of Linux to go with our illegal copies of Windows.
Even if SCO really does have IP rights to code in the Linux kernel, the disputed code just needs to be rewritten, and new kernels distributed.
Done... end of story.
All that tell me is that just because someone is a CS major, it doesn't mean that they are smart.
Smart people figure things out. Dumb people just copy examples from a book.
Top of the Sears Tower in Chicago. It's amazing. And while you are there, ride on the L... you'll meet some "interesting" people.
Or for NVidia and ATI to develop cards that will run it.
Well, everyone has those 3.2Ghz Hyperthreaded processors now so it shouldn't be a big deal.
