IMHO (very humble opinion in this case) SDL might be close to that.
For instance, torcs is a pretty good game with same "look and play" across many platforms.
I disagree.
You are resolving the same dependencies by yourself. OK, you can access the makefile or whatever and change manually the versions involved... but that might affect stability and on the other hand not everyone is able to do that. Glad to see you can:-).
and I fear to install from source as in option 2 above, for I may break the packaging system.
Not necessary since you use checkinstall: ./configure
make
sudo checkinstall
And it might not cause trouble to your packaging system. The only conflict possible is files overlap with other packages (which should cause trouble as well at your Slackware and they may be resolved with the --prefix option passed to configure).
I use checkinstall in my 64bit ubuntu system when I cannot get a certain package from repos (3rd party packages in 64bit are not so widely available)
Airplanes are not made of aluminium, but of alliances of aluminium, which have poorer behaviour against corrosion than the pure aluminium (but they improve the fatigue and strength of the pure alu).
If you could come up with a coloured version, though - that would be useful.
But does this thing protect against corrosion? I don't think so. It it did, it would show and advantage to painting indeed. On the other hand, polished airplanes are perhaps more beautiful than painted ones:-P.
You are right, but 200Kg is pretty low weight as compared to the airliner weight. It is not that a 200Kg weight reduction means nothing, but it is not a big problem after all. On the other side, paint protects the airframe against corrosion.
Some airlines do have polished aesthetics, so weight is a bit reduced but maintenance costs may arise a bit as well.
The device is 20-30% efficient even then. To get by on using an inefficient power source the CPU would have to be as efficient as possible.
The efficiency of the heat->electricity conversion is at most 1-Tambient/Tdevice, because of the second law of the thermodynamics (temperatures need to be placed in Kelvin degrees at the formula). Say the CPU is reaching 60 (Celsius) and the ambient is 15 (pretty cool for an office or a house room), then the efficiency is at most: 1- 288/293 = 1.7%. So the gain of such device is at most marginal.
The 1-Tambient/Tdevice limit is the reason why engines operate at high temperatures (and engineers try to raise the engine temperatures by new materials and better cooling systems). The use of cooling lets having higher Tdevice and thus the efficiency limit is higher but tend to spoil the approach to that limit, so there is a technology-driven optimum in their use.
The GTK-Qt theme doesn't exist.
Do not forget the qt-curve theme, as well. It exists for both Qt and GTK (the GUI config is at the KDE control panel side) and I can ensure that the look is exactly the same for GTK and QT apps (the widget look is the same and diferences are only at file, print, and so on dialogs). The GTK-QT theme has some rendering kirks that have make me avoid it.
The next thing EU will do is tell Coca Cola to share the formula with the competence.
It is not like to share the formula. It is like to know the ingredients.
And yes I *must* know that coca-cola has sugar if I am diabetic.
For anything serious, like hardcore data mining, and you start having to go in the procedural sql code
Perhaps there is place to a library with neutral syntax access which might talk to different SQL providers (a la wxwidgets but in the database field instead of the GUI one). I know this means a new layer... but such operations may be hard enough so a layer is not perceived at all.
I guess so. Ubuntu it is not only easy to install but it is even easier to upgrade.
If you download this release, the install CD is a live-CD as well... so you can check if you will have any problems with driver issues prior to installing.
If you plan ditching XP (I ditched long time ago win95), the challenge is not the installation process nowadays but finding all your needs covered by opensource apps.
America should have been called "Columbia" afterall.:-P
Seriously, for me, a spanish guy, "America" may mean "North America" + "South America" or USA depending on the context. This sometimes may lead to confusion...

Sorry, Torcs is not based on SDL but directly on GLUT. However you may find several good SDL games.
For instance, torcs is a pretty good game with same "look and play" across many platforms.

Oh, yes, that is called inferno instead of hell.

It would be interesting to know the Spam volume as well.
So light won't be able to cross the water afterall.

The GPL goal is not to restrict the use of the resulting code. And from that point of view is the most non-restricting license :-p

Who needs pr0n anyways...
Really? I must be a very strange guy.
There is like a 30m max for that.
Nice, then all we must do is to place the spaceship at 30m from the sun and take a photo.
Nevertheless it is stupid to have 4 characters, since mobile input is very slow and painful. IMHO ".m" or ".mb" might have been better choices
... and i perhaps understand the "artificial" but not the "intelligence" part at AI.
Not really, your genes have built in Unix security model:
ls genes | grep lung | grep cancer
-rwxr-x--- human lung lung_cancer_gene
3,5. Bluescreens.
Simplifly? Looks like MS is getting scared of Gnome. :-P
