You can put *your* GPL code in a commercial project, because, as copyright/copyleft holder, you are within your rights to change the licensing and/or dual license your code.
You took my joke! As soon as I saw that headline, I thought "what??? I might have to pay 10 cents per song from allofmp3?" Even if I did, I would still use it. I know it probably isn't legal, but I figure that the record companies have ripped me off enough (I always buy full CDs if I want the whole CD), so it doesn't really matter.
Well, I imagine personal preference does play a part as well. I, for one, find multiple windows to be an annoyance because it clutters the screen. Plus, having tabs could allow you, if you were so inclined, to browse each site in different windows, or use each window for a different purpose, and open up related pages in tabs.
Well, some linux distros are shitty in one way or another. Given that I don't think any distro has a kernel compiled with all modules, it makes it very logical that one linux distro might support a piece of hardware that another does not. I don't think the "try another linux distro" statement is the same as making comparisions to hitler. It is just advice, which may help to solve someone's problem.
Well, I don't know, but I think it's a permissions problem because it ran fine as root (I only did it to test!). I changed the permissions temporarily on the audio device, so that my user had the same permissions as root, but nothing happened.
Most users don't know they want tabbed browsing, but everyone I've seen who has used it for a bit, gets pissed off when they have to use Internet Explorer. This is especially bad at school because, for some reason, they think it's a security concern to be able to use File->New Window (it says it's been disabled by security settings). This can be circumvented by just starting IE again from the start menu, but it's still an annoying piece of shit.
Because, you know, all of us tried installing the same distro on the same hardware as you. I can say that, in my personal experience, I have not experienced a driver problem with linux. Maybe you tried a shitty distro.
I've not had a single driver problem on Linux, and I have installed it on three off-the-shelf (i.e. hardware not checked for compatibility) computers, as well as run Knoppix on many computers at school, all without a single problem.
I dunno... I'm a linux supporter, but I can honestly say that I've had linux act like this at times. Sometimes audio on flash movies will play, sometimes it won't. It usually requires only a reboot, but it still shouldn't need to. But it's significantly less of a problem than corrupted IDE drivers, especially considering it could (and probably is) the flash player's fault.
Conceivably, you could run an emulator such as bochs or qemu. I agree this isn't the best situation, but when you're dealing with VB in any capacity, you're pretty much doomed to disappointment.
My HS (in Calgary,Alberta,Canada) is really pushing for students to enter the Registered Apprenticeship Program. You either get to go to your job half the day, for the entire school year, or to go fulltime for half of the year. This is because the Oil Sands project needs more workers. Now, I want to be a pilot. I intend on taking the (very well-respected) diploma program from the local college, and I'm already working toward my Private Pilot's License. Now, do you think I could receive a comparable offer to go through flight training? If I got 230 hours of flight time, I could be an employed commercial pilot by the end of my first year. Clearly, the point of high schools is not to prepare students for the real world, or to help them get a job. It is to help the rest of the province/society by pumping out whatever it is that they need.
Umm... I believe I said this before, but, if I didn't, I will say it here: Jews under Arab rule were fine, before Israel came in and started screwing things up. The Jews who had lived in Arabia for thousands of years had (relatively) few problems. It was the influx of Israeli Jews, and the subsequent subjugation of the Arabs/Palestinians that caused the problem.
Also, I think it would be good for you to realize that basic human rights, and standard of living, mean more than the right to vote.
Whether the Palestinians/Arabs controlled the area directly is immaterial. During the high time of British colonialism, many places had their affairs controlled by the British Empire, and the Roman Empire before that. What I object to is the fact that, when they chose someone to hand power off to, they decided to give it to people who had no right to take it, just because it seemed like a good idea at the time. It was based on the fact that, not only do the Jews require their own state, but they require it to be where many of them lived in past history. Naturally, the people who already lived there would have to be pushed aside. And, of course, since it is a Jewish state, Palestinians (Christian and Muslim) wouldn't be given power to control, despite the fact that the Israeli government ruled them. I think, although it is safe to say that the British weren't perfect, they were a great deal better than the Israelis when it came to the welfare of the Palestinian people.
Also, although killing civilians is wrong, it's not like the Palestinians are in any position to fight the Israeli army (supported by the US). They had land that should have been theirs (whether it was before or not) taken away from them, at which time they began to receive treatment as second class citizens, despite having a reasonable claim to rule the land (certainly moreso than a Zionist state created by Britian on, more or less, a whim). Wouldn't you fight to take it back in any way you could?
Also, allow me to point out that one of the reasons that non-Jews wanted the state of Israel to be created was that Jesus would only come back if Jews controlled the Holy Land. How's that for irrational foreign policy? At least Bush gets oil out of the Iraq war...
Wow... I honestly do not think I could have made my first post more sarcastic, but you still missed it. Now, being straight: I completely agree with you. The Arabs never had a problem with the Jews already living in Arabia. If the US didn't keep spending money to keep Israel supplied with weapons (done, of course, to get votes and money from US Jews), several million Arabs would have wiped Israel off the face of the planet, and rightfully so.
What are you talking about??? If you move out of your house, which wasn't ever yours, but you lived there, and then came back a few years later, you should be able to expect that you can come in and claim it for yourself again. And if you're feeling really generous, why shouldn't you be able to leave them in a small, walled-off room, wherein you can come in and take their possessions on a regular basis?
Seriously, it's maybe 5 minutes. I don't believe that anyone other than an OEM does enough Windows installs that this would be onerous. Secondly, if you are some sort of "installer" person, it is billable time. Thirdly, this means that, if all your "installs" have run out, you can explain the circumstances like, "well, given that the poor system security has forced me to reinstall this copy several times..." or "oh, yeah, I installed linux on that box, and since my XP CD isn't an OEM copy, shouldn't I be able to install it on another box?". Seriously, sometimes M$ *isn't* out to get you. This is one of those times.
But don't you know???!!! English is the language of AMERICA, no matter what those British say. It should, therefore, be considered the only true language. The rest of the world is just speaking some insane witchcraft language they dreamed up.
No... gentoo != good server distro. I am a satisfied gentoo user on the desktop, and I run a very small server (alongside my desktop, just for light personal use). I don't use gentoo for the speed, I use it for the customizability. Portage is a great tool. Ideally, the Gentoo project would make portage a tool which can be put on top of other distros, as they do have advantages. Portage, at the moment, is more or less tied to gentoo, so gentoo is what I use. There are binaries for things like KDE, and besides, it's not like I need everything now. I can be patient unlike some people. That being said, these qualities do not make a good server. You might want something like Debian or slackware for that.
It's a subscription... but theoretically you could run a wire from audio-out to audio-in an record every song. It would take a month or two, but it would still be a good deal.
Because I could not find instructions on how to boot FreeBSD (or any other bsd, even net) on an oldworld mac. If you would point me to such a resource, I would be thankful... I was considering a BSD install a few days ago before I found out that booting it would be hard/impossible.
Well, it does say something about the state of the world when someone *can* believe that that person was telling the truth... there are enough crazy Americans that something like this could actually happen.
C# is every bit as good as Java at this point. That being said, being Java's equal is not a stunning approval. I like its design, and its similarity to C/C++. I would say anyone interested in cross-platform development (Windows too, not just different *nixes) should take a serious look at Mono/.NET/C#.
Having recently considered learning C#/Mono, a few things bugged me. Firstly, it was not easy to find a tutorial more complex than Hello World but less complex than "oh, look, we're going to be making a wordpad clone". Considering that it is much easier to program with C and GTK, or C++ and QT or GTK--, it will take some serious work to make Mono attractive if you're looking to attract the people who don't need Windows compatibility.
I don't see any advantage to installing this distro over conventional slackware. Slackware is tried and true, has a long and illustrious history, and is more or less able to run on really old hardware (compare the system requirements). I would also say Debian is a contender in this arena. I have a working Debian install in approximately 1.3GB, complete with office suite and desktop and whatever else you might need (GIMP, etc.) running on a PowerMac G3 (233mhz) with 32MB of RAM.

There is an open-source flash player? Tell me more...

I believe he is saying that Windows has driver problems as well, so Linux shouldn't be thought less of because of the occasional problem.
