I wasn't lazy, I was just in error (I have previous versions of Cygwin, and they didn't include those packages.). And what if I want it on a CD? Hey, I have broadband, but not everyone does.
Also, can I update Cygwin automatically like Yast Online Update in SuSE?
And what proprietary software would I want? And what about paying for nonproprietary software?
I haven't recompiled the kernel, and I have also found that configuring Linux is easier than configuring Windows.
I also checked the cygwin home page, and it does not list TeX or emacs as components. Nor python, perl, php, apache, . .
More choices of what? Proprietary software?
cygwin
So instead of having integrated TeX/LaTeX support, integrated emacs, integrated gcc (does Windows Update update these?), I'm supposed to download the Windows version. This so that I have the privilege of paying for software?
But linking would require that you have the correct library/executable, so why not just use them? How does cluttering up your application directories with symlinks help?
So every app installs its libraries into its own subdirectory? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of shared libraries? Does it also install its executables into its own subdirectory?
What if I have a table of numerical values, and I want the numerals aligned on the right? Am I supposed to type align="right" in every instance of <td>? Gee, I wish there were a way of typing class="numerical" into the table tag and then having table.numerical td {text-align: right;} in some other file. Oh wait, there is.
As this thread is about the punishment of a criminal, then yes, a law book is the only valid source here. Or should people be sentenced to prison terms because they stole kisses?
Then that poster was wrong about needing support contracts to have a good reputation. After all, do Debian and FreeBSD have bad reputations? Or did that poster mean some other reputation?
It may be easier, but will it look as nice? Also, why did you go from dvi to pdf? Why not dvips to print? Also, is really easier to use an equation editor than to type control sequences?
Easier to configure what? And what if I don't like Apple's Desktop? Or its more expensive hardware? Everything that Linux ever was? Does that include free?

Are you sure that TeX and emacs are included with Cygwin?
Also, what happens if I need to update gcc? Some Linux distros will allow me to update gcc (even automatically).
So how does Windows save me time?

But if you link against them, why not just link against a file in /usr/lib?

I have broadband, but I was able to get the modem in my laptop working (oh yeah, it's one of those inexpensive Averatecs ($699 after rebates)).
Hmm. . . A hardware modem costs $80? I want to check on that.

Oh great, just give them more ideas!
No more CSS?
.h files in C?

A good solar system should last much longer than 30 years. :-).

I'm just curious; is your sig the Latin version of Godwin's Law?
Doesn't Microsoft lose money on the XBox itself, making up the loss by profiting on the games?

What about ravioli programming, where you wrap the meat in shells?
Yeah right, it's sooooo much easier clicking for an integral sign than typing \int.
Also, you can use LyX as a front end to LaTeX.
Did your class ever discuss the ethical issues of using such textbooks?

Any reboots?
SuSE has YaST Online Update (YOU) which allows an administrator to set up patching as a cron job.
Dr. No: Missile toppling
Tomorrow Never Dies: Hijacked GPS
But is it as easy to keep Windows patched as it is to keep Linux patched?
duopoly. Think Greek, not Latin.
