Same here. What they don't tell you, however (at least in Michigan), is that those proceeds just offset what *would have* come from the general fund. In other words, the net gain for education is zero, and now your government has another $x to spend/waste from the general fund.
Can anyone comment on how far the CDT has come in the last 12 months? Oh and also - is there any support for refactoring C++ yet:)
Not very far, AFAIKT. I used it a couple of months ago for some JNI/C++ code I was working on, and found that although it looks a lot like the Java editor, it behaves vastly different.
No code completion, no code formatting, no refactoring.
Just a basic code editor with color syntax highlighting.
So you can write an app which transforms a Word doc to something else, but you can't refer to your app as a Microsoft Word file converter. So how long until we'll have a "Converter for the Evil Empire's word processor document type" project on Sourceforge?

You can tell knoppix your screen res at boot-up. F2 will give a list of boot options one of which is 'screen=[whatever your screen res is]'
Same here - I left EDS 2 weeks ago, spurred on by their announcement earlier this year that there weren't going to be any compensation increases this year, and limited next year.
The result? New job, great (small, growing) company, 17% increase in pay.
There *are* jobs out there, if you look hard enough.
Berlin is a windowing system derived from Fresco, a powerful structured graphics toolkit originally based on InterViews. Berlin extends Fresco to the status of a full windowing system, in command of the video hardware (via GGI, SDL, DirectFB or GLUT) and processing user input directly rather than peering with a host windowing system. Additionally, Berlin's extensions include a rich drawing interface with multiple backends, an upgrade to modern CORBA standards, a new Unicode-capable text system, dynamic module loading, and many communication abstractions for connecting other processes to the server. It is developed entirely by volunteers on the internet, using free software, and released under the GNU Library General Public License.
If it's that useful for you then I don't know why a 30 day period wouldn't be plenty (heck, I give 45) for you to make a decision.
Because evaluating your software is not the only item on my to-do list. The 30-day evaluation period often expires before I've even had time to fire up the software, let alone make an informed decision on whether it's the right tool for the job. 90 days is more reasonable.

I expected to see this http://xkcd.com/radiation/ as approximately the second post, but it's nowhere to be found! /. truly is slipping into obscurity.

Fuck you.
It's all very well saying "build better roads" but are you willing to pay for them?
Yes, we are. If everybody would just go out and buy a goddam new car (from one of the Big 3, of course).
What benefit is there in having 3+ liter engine, as opposed to having a smaller turbocharged engine? Seriously?
Torque. Seriously.
The number in parenthesis refers to the section of the manual where the command can be found. See man(1).

I have to say that I would never give any info to anyone who called me uncolicitated.
I would never call you uncolicitated. Now, can I have your information?
Here, try this one. Only one page.
Damn, never have mod points when I need them. :-)
Good one
You really think that spammers deserver to be locked up with rapists and murderers?
Yes. Yes I do.
am I alone in this view
I, for one, certainly hope so.
You think because it's a white-collar crime, they don't deserve to be locked up? They're assholes, and deserve everything they get.

UP "agriculture" consists of:
- trees

So, I don't think that's a viable option.Having just returned from vacationing in the UP, I can assure you that the results of such a test are: "No Service".
Never mind - you're right. They need to fix their f***ing home page, though.
Our project has been renamed Fresco from the old "Berlin", and most if not all references to Berlin now refer to the Fresco project.
I don't think so.
From Berlin's home page:

IBM has decided to exit the hard drive market citing the market has become too competitive.
