Last year about this time I set out writing the heck hex editor because none of the other hex editors did exactally what I wanted them to do. I have had thoughts about morphing it into a text editor. My point is that people work on these things when they see a need. (I'm sure most of you already knew that.)
It all comes down to the fact that GPLed software is not free. The only real way to make your code truly free is to release it public domain. (For once I'm not being sarcastic.)
I used to stop what I was doing and write a linked list class (or struct and group of functions) and sometimes start reading Knuths books again for the 100th time the other thing I do is write code in scheme. Lately I decided to write a parser. Basically what I try to do is write something I know I know how to do. I don't work hard just little bits here and there.
Unix is good because people can choose their window manager. The whole point is being able to do what you want. If you don't like what's out there then write your own, if you can't write your own then don't complain (or better yet learn how). Code reuse between things like Netscape and Adobe PDF reader would never even be possible becuase the two companies would never share code with each other. On the other hand a stock set of routines to access the printer and such and are the job of things like GNOME and KDE but not the job of X or the kernel. Infact the kernels only job is creating a system to talk to the hardware it's the decision of others what to say. Same with X. X is just a way to get things to the screen, and a damn good one, what you put on the screen is your problem. Just like C is again the chanel for talking but the C I/O lib is what to say.
Whatever that was running on the 3B2 it was nasty. I rescued a few from the chopping block at Western Carolina and hacked on them for a while to get them up.
How does getting a patent keep Microsoft from getting sued?? True they don't have a history of sueing over patents but with things going like they are for microsoft I wouldn't be supprised if they started.
From what I gathered from the transcript I read from the interview with artistdirect (or whoever it was) you all basically feel that no one does anything for free. Can you still say that knowing that a great number of the people who read this interview are doing so using an operating system written by people who do ``do it for free'' moreover knowing that a smaller but still large number of people reading not only use but do ``do it for free'' (myself included).
The only people you have stopped are people who just want to hear the popular singles...either they download the mp3 or tape it off the radio...either way it's not like you are missing much they are getting your song anytime they want for free. Your fans will still support you. Look at the fans of Social Distortion. Social's guitarist died not long ago and there has been an outpouring of support for Dennis's family. If your fans heard that you were soon to end up in the poor house they would come together and help the band through.
Over and above all of this albums come with liner notes (GnR's AfD wouldn't be the same without them) and pretty pictures and the such and to a great number of the general population these kinds of things are important.
I have written proof I'm qualified...it's called code and I have written lots of it in the last 6 years.
Everyone knows that having some peice of paper that says you can do something dosen't mean you can and if that's what some employers are looking for then those are not the kind of people I want to work for.
If I end up the last un-certified hack on the earth so be it.
GDB is the greatest. What should I use instead... dbx...xdb...or some graphical thing. What debugger do you know that accepts things like c 100 to skip this breakpoint the next 99 times. Great when doing things like looking for a certain record in a file.
You can't beat the funnies. It's just not the same looking at them on the web.
I don't watch the local news, TV rots your brain (except for Letterman...and the tick...and maybe inside edition, blah), and the sunday paper gives me a chance to catch up. Althought I get sick of the Red Hat articles (yea I'm from the RTP...well Apex)
At no point during dogma did I see any attack on Catholic doctrine. If you did find this then you are blind. That's right you saw what you saw by being blind. Blinded by what? Media...they told you the movie attacked Catholics so you looked for it you looked so damn hard you found it where it wasnt just like the PMRC foud backward lyrics telling kids to kill their grandmothers in Ozzy records.
So what is dogma about? It's about the fact the we spend 99% of the time worrying about shit that dosen't really matter...Is who got the last cookie going to matter when you die.
Up until the hour before m$ decided to run with the net they fought it fiercly(?). I'd expect lots of this crap for a while then out of the blue one day we will have M$/Linux.

What ever happened to our right (in America) to create satire and farce. (Did I spell all that correctly?)

It dosen't matter right:
(x != y) == (y != x)
Now it will be easer to find him.

Well now we don't have to worry anymore.
