Do you consider a country "own" after 8 century "invasion"?
During those 8 centuries Moors and Christian and Jew people lived together. They had their spaces, but also had interaction, trade,... . Christian were not obligated to convert to Islam, etc. After Christian re-conquest Moors and Jew were ejected from the territory (or obligated to convert to Christianism- nevertheless I'm not sure they had the same rights than Christians after doing that)
If I recall correctly (I'm a mess in history and dates, please correct if I'm wrong) Granada was taken by catholics in 1492, the same year America was discovered by Cristobal Colon. The same year Jews were told to leave "Spain" - there was no concept of Spain yet-. Islamic people lived in "Spain" during 8 centuries before 1492, and left a deep footstep in art, language, tradition, diet,...
I've built a Sudoku program to help me reduce the boring parts (filling in the only posssible option if it is known)
Wait, those are the boring parts?? Took all the fun out of the game.
I told you!
Nevertheless, as a happy beryl+ubuntu64 user, I no longer use nvidia drivers from repos, since I need the very latest and I want to upgrade when a new driver is released (and perhaps go back if any issues happen) without having to wait someone that packages them unofficially.
So the nvidia installer is the way to go for me already. I guess that is the way to go for most of the Beryl+nvidia users, no matter which is their distro.
And as for desktop stability, Beryl is quite stable right now but lacks of certain polish like proper viewport handling (send windows to # viewport via the window menu), on-top and sticky window handling, etc. You get used not to have them but I understand they are required for a distro in order to make Beryl a default desktop. You are saying that it is not enough stable, and I agree but I want emphasize the enough part; since people that has never used them might wrongly think that they keep crashing often. Beryl crashes are strange, but Beryl has some usability and certain performance issues that should be solved.
Um, no. The work made by the programmer will be available to the user no matter whether the license is BSD or GPL,
Sure, but I was thinking about 3rd party derivatives (as you point in your post). Sorry, since I have not said it explicitly (I only used the future sense in my post).
This stupid license wars is slowing Linux and FOSS community and serves NO FUCKING PURPOSE!
You are completely wrong. License is a key feature of FOSS, and provides the developer which is the freedom of her work
roughly, IMHO,
BSD: the world has the freedom to do whatever: companies like it- not only to use the code but to provide FOSS modules as well!
GPL: the user won't loose the freedom to keep using the work made by the programmer.
Which is better? depends strongly on the programmers intention about the software she is releasing. She has put a lot of effort on that, so she may have an opinion of which is the allowed use of her code.
Saying it is stupid, is selfish as you seem to be thinking only in the present day with the present apps, which seem you have not developed, have you?
Furthermore when I can suscribe folders with evolution+exchange (ubuntu edgy 64bit here). There is no subscription button but folders get suscribed as long as you select any of them. Unsubscription comes when unselecting them (surprise). Am I missing something or what??

so you the award giver, would have to pay:
T=S+P*S+P^2*S+P^3*S+....
Sorry for the notation, I have definitely chosen bad capital letters for the concepts, but I never said T was the tax. T is the TOTAL the award organizer should pay in order to compensate the taxes.
disclaimer: in my native language, tax does not begin with "T".
You have made the whole thing so needlessly complex that
Yes, I tend to drink too much coffee.
I've solved the iterating process that would happen if the organizer was paying the taxes generated by paying the previous tax atomically to the infinite, which is not realistic but is aimed to the thread topic of convergence; whereas your approach is much correct and should be the one to do. Thanks for the point.
The sum converges as far as the tax rate is lower than a 100%
Asuming constant tax rate, P, and calling S the award, then:
1 You are given S
2 You have to pay taxes as P*S
3 Award giver wants to pay these
4 You have to pay taxes as P*(P*S)
5 and so on...
so you the award giver, would have to pay:
T=S+P*S+P^2*S+P^3*S+....
which can be expressed as
T=S/(1-P)
stable as far as P is lower than 1 which is the usual case:-P
Assuming a 20% tax rate (P=.2), the organizer would end up paying 25%.
Being so large prize, I guess the rate is higher.... for instance, supposing a 50% tax rate, the organizer would end up paying a 200% of the original prize!!!. However not all the incomings should apply for the same tax rate... so the real case may be more complicated.
Now go and explain this to the tax authorities:-P.
Call me pedantic, but I love showing how to solve the sum:
T=S+P*S+P^2*S+P^3*S+....
T*P = P*S+P^2*S+P^3*S+....
so, T-T*P = S, and thus T=S/(1-P)
helpfully informs me that the site supports Firefox 2,
Have you sent and email to them informing that the site is no longer compatible to Firefox 2? My bank used to be in trouble with mozilla long time ago and I told them via email, I was told they knew and that they were working on it. Finally, after some time it begun working:-).
Sorry, but as far as I know, flash specification is open and there exist projects that implement GPL flash plugin.
Adobe has always opened the formats (see postscript, PDF). I would not be scared if they stopped developing linux plugin, perhaps it would be better since GPL plugins would receive more developers and resources and perhaps would become even better than original adobe plugin. In the same sense that if Adobe stops releasing acrobat for linux we won't miss it so much we would have missed it some years ago.
What it would scare me, of course, would be if they closed the flash spec.
Mod me redundant if you wish, but I second this.
As an amd64 linux user since a year and about 5 months, this platform is very mature nowadays and it makes sense to be paid more attention from adobe guys:
please learn from nvidia people.
I have a 32bit chroot for any disturbances like this one, but I'm using it less and less.
On the other hand, my own dirty tests show that amd64 behaves about a 15% faster when executing 64bit code than when doing 32bit, so it is not just that 64bit can address more memory: these chips shine at 64bit and deserve a 64bit OS. Sorry but I've not tested intel 64bit CPUs so far.
I don't see any problem with gtk/Qt. There are cross-widget themes like qtcurve -which provides gtk and Qt native themes- that allow you to unify the look in case that is what you miss from other systems. Nevertheless IMHO having same colors through toolkits is fair enough. Motif sure it is outdated, but there are still some efforts to make it better (antialiased fonts are almost there), and some apps like NEdit deserve be used despite of the old look of Motif- again using same colors than your gtk/Qt makes it look quite good.
Having several toolkits has the benefit of being able to have different desktops oriented to different needs. Again NEdit will run on any old machine, meanwhile gedit or kate might be slow there. Anyone remembers tkdesk?. Also, people may experiment with new and old concepts, as GNUstep project does.
On the other hand, I use to work with more than one computer. I love to do "ssh -CX other_computer" and launch the apps I need from there: I don't want another full desktop, just the app(s) I need. In this sense, IMHO the flexibility and performance of X11 over LAN is the best solution. And it is available for *every* app, not just the legacy ones. Even OpenGL apps (thanks to GLX extension) use the display hardware when used remotely
Finally, the look and feel of X11 is being largely improved with Compiz/Beryl. Your pig is a very fast and beautiful one, nowadays.

Oh, I see. I was wrong then. Thanks to your comment (and those two below as well). This changes my opinion of Adobe dramatically :-((
No, I am talking about my own code compiled in 32 and 64bit with the same options.
