Back in the old days at Tech, we'd fill up the picnic jugs with beer from Bob's keg, and go drive the back roads until we got stuck or ran out of beer. Sometimes we'd park by the fences of these places, climb over, and climb the tower. The best one was just north of Truth or Consequences; it was two towers, about 150 feet tall, about 20 feet apart, connected by a catwalk. We were all too afraid to walk across (only 2 jugs, and 3 or 4 of us) but we did crawl across. The perspective of looking down from up there at a Datsun pickup (I did say, old days) was truly boggling.
I needed a CD burner in a hurry, ran down to Fry's Electronics, and grabbed the one that looked like the best price/performance: a Sony CRX195 40/12/48. $89.99 with a $20.00 rebate. I installed it, spent 3 days trying to figure out how to get my Linux box to see it, and then it worked. I didn't even know 40X was fast:-)
This guy's obviously in marketing; not just
from the general drift of his comment,
but from his Marketing Math (tm) which
converts a ration of 1 to 4 to multiplying
by 5.
Can you tell us anything about the future of
mainsoft and bristol ? (I think the former did
the libraries used in the Solaris IE5, and the
latter were among your legal adversaries.)
If I were a customer of one these companies,
using their products to port my MFC application
to Unix/Linux, would I have reason to worry
about my ongoing ability to support Unix ?
Does Microsoft have a long-term relationship
with either as a customer (like the IE port) ?
I downloaded it and tried to build on
Sun/Solaris; but way down in
programs/Xserver/PEX5/ddpex/mi/level{3,4}
there are files which reference PEXOCPickXorg,
which I find in no files in the source tree.
I guess that's what I get for grabbing it
so quick.
When we see these agreements on products from big companies, we feel like we're being oppressed. (Or is it only I?) But my company's EULA is largely intended to protect us from even larger ones. We have a modest legal staff (in number, that is:-) but we couldn't survive being litigated by one of the Fortune 500.
Well, they say 1,07,000; what is the number, really ? I interpret this to mean that along much of the 38K route miles, there are parallel rails. (I.e., 1 route mile with 3 parallel tracks = 3 track miles) If that's what it means, I could easily believe there are 107,000 track miles.
I agree that there's no way to make money by trying to counterfeit Athlons, but there are many more fabs capable of manufacturing the parts. Microprocessors aren't the process drivers these days, nor the biggest chips in production.

Now if I could just patent a strain of bacteria :-)
which could generate methane from carbonate rocks

It always irritates me when Stallman makes cogent and pertinent remarks like this, which threaten my image of him as a wild-eyed ranting iconoclast.

Coincidentally, I looked last week to see if a newer-than-5.0 version were available for Solaris; but, not.

A microphone hidden in a table lamp or telephone works the way it's intended to, too. It's that kind of bug.

Right; and why would you call it a pilot project, when clearly it's an engineering project ?
