In fact in the demo / training program with the lady in red in the first movie clearly says that Agents can only take over people whoa re still connected to the matrix and have not been freed.
Well, no, Smithis *not* special or unique in that sense - any other agent who was killed in the similar manner and then refused to go back to the source could probably have done the same - there is nothingto suggest otherwise (and we know thats what Smith did, both fromhis words and evidence about other programs having to go back to get deleted).
Don't be stupid - why should they fight against this particular instance of software preference? You can use some other software, you don't have to use Symantec's. And if you library has to use such software, then:
a) that is much more worthwhile to fight against
b) vote smarter next time
* X is slower, and will always include more context switches for local display. This is the price you pay fopr networks transparency. It is slightly less slow (buts still slower) if you make use of say teh SHM extension
* if you are moving that window over other windows, then X will do much worse ifg it lacks backing store or your widget set doesn't cope with it.
* The scrollbar is *not* a integrated GUI package on Widows. Win32 has a similar abstraction between windowing and widgets like X, teh "default" toolkit on windows is not special in some way. You can implement custom widget and toolkits just as easily as under X.
* integrating gtk+ into X is horribly bad idea and will not actually give you that many benefits.
No you don't - and neither do you with normal XML. SAX and DOM are just APIs, and others besides these exist. Look at say XmlReader API. And anyways, you can do something completely different if you are optimising for parsing *one* particular DTD/schema.
Umm.. the 2D parts of modern gfx cards aren't that good. It may well be that drawing polygons (which is waht a lot of X usage is) using the 3d part is faster.
__P () is what lets the same code be compiled by both ansi and k&r c compilers - ansi compiler sees the prototype and k&r sees a version that keeps it civil too.
Because there is effectively no company behind it? Exactly how would one go about signing a binding contract with Debian? And how would Debian be going about making sure its developers follow the terms of that contract?
huh? and exactly who markets linux for large boxes? IBM still only sells linux on up to 4-way boxes and is still in the process of qualifying linux for 8-ways.
20/20 hindsight? get real - the ratio is more or less the same on most of ask slashdot. It might serve as a resource from which you pick up things to reserch, but it is not on itself a credible source.
for what reason do you conisder it to be? count the number of clueless and irrelevant answer to the original post and look at the ratio to ones that aren't - doesn't look like a resource you'd want to use.
matter / antimatter is not just a charge difference, and its not true that non-charged particles don't have anti-particles. consider neutrinos.
and of course there is a anti-neutron - what do you think you would get when a anti-proton and positron fuse ? Hadrons are made up of quarks and these have corresponding anti-quarks - from which you get not just anti-proton but also neutron and anti-neutron.
The problem with your claims being that you list both legitimate claims (LZW patent is legitimate - there is absolutely no reason "software" needs to be involved in any way) and bogus ones.
You didn't actually notice that it was about 'business methods', did you? You don't sell a business method, its how you sell. Hence you cannot have US infrigement, as long as you don't have a real US presence, as you wouldn't actually be doing the prohibited thing inside US.
This just shows you both can't read and don't know anything about Unix history - Sun 'paid off' SCO at a time when Caldera didn't exist yet and Linux was not at 1.0 yet. Which make you just a stupid troll, so hopefully somebody will mod you down to -1.
Slashdot Mirror
how do you know no other agent did similar? after all, there were previous "the Ones" and also, plenty of other rogue programs around.

And the only problem with what you just said is that it is a lie. Worse, you are lieing because it suits your political agenda.
The don't use it - and stop being a stupid jerk

well, goes to show that you never know - big corps do occasionaly do things to improve the general living environment.
Apply a patch and they will too :p
This might be true if you use Windows - otherwise backtick and tilde are something you probably use many many times a day
Its really the same key as Alt Gr on PC keyboards... seems PC makers are saving ink on the 3 last letters
Except you are completely wrong...

Not having sluggish startup time is another reason you should grab 1.1.0

But there is no workstation market any more really, or rather, whats left is less than 1/3 of what it once was.

I'm afraid you are confusing the problems with the legal system in the US with the problems with the patents system.
