4. You may distribute machine-executable forms of the Software or machine-executable forms of modified versions of the Software, provided that you meet these restrictions:
a. You must include this license document in the distribution.

Left that out because it doesn't support your petty little crusade, eh? A lie by omission is still a lie.

Either of these arguments could have equally well have been applied to Elliptical Curve Cryptography when compared with the RSA algorithm, and ECC is only now being 'discovered' again long after its initial description.
Crypto moves forward slowly for another reason too: safety. RSA has been hammered on like mad, we're still not sure that ECC doesn't have some fatal weakness.
the whole hardware-mp3-player hype is mind boggling to me. i mean, i understand it, as a fad and gadgetry thing, but.. you're basically making a downgrade in your audio system when you go from a CD player to a straight-up mp3 player. the hybrids are the obvious, good, middle-ground.. as long as the price difference is reasonable.
In the portable market, it's a no-brainer. No moving parts, so no skip, no wear, ever. Music is easily downloaded from napster (you don't think anyone pays for the music on their portable mp3 player?) As for the component system mp3 boxes, I don't see those lasting, no.

Cellphone, GPS, PDA, maps, compass, radio, and altimeter could all be one device you stick on your belt. Probably the cash and cards too. Probably would use an expansion card for the uber-PDA device for the GPS, compass and altimeter. This way this very expensive collection of devices doesn't peel off when you scratch an itch on your forehead, and it lets you loan it to others as well.

And none of them handle multiple POP accounts. Mutt certainly isn't going to display that scan of the new baby in the message, or show a company logo at the top. I guess no one ever included pictures in snail mail either or ever wrote on letterhead either. But YOU have no use for these features, so they're useless, right?
First, the dark green of links is hard to distinguish from the black in some conditions. Then there's the black for the "clicked link", so after I popped it up earlier then closed it before reading it, the link effectively disappeared. Then there's the philosophy of putting the link to the talk/paper/article *anywhere* but the first time it appears as a noun. In this case, I had to scrub the text with my mouse until the end where the cursor finally changed over "read"
I swear, reading slashdot is like playing myst some days.
> Really elegant boxing would allow you to treat primitives as full, first class objects. Then you could, for instance, have a synchronized block use an integer as its lock object.
Bad form. First of all, nothing about an int says "lock", specialized lock classes like Mutex or Semaphore and whatnot are far more descriptive. Secondly, that lock probably requires a unique value now, where otherwise it could be reused by other unboxing operations using the same value. (i.e. one lock on a "5" object now requires a different object than a different lock on a "5" object)
Smalltalk has been doing automatic [un]boxing for eons now, I'm disappointed to see other languages still don't do this.
I kind of started to wonder about the guy's programming background when he started referring to "classes with holes". Every whitepaper on whatever language I've seen that implements this feature refers to it as "parametric polymorphism". Something java still greviously lacks -- safe downcasts work but are still annoying to do by hand. If I wanted to do everything by hand, I would still be using the switches on the console.
Depends on your definition of correctness.;) If you wrote:
if( myCondition) {
doThingOne();
doThingTwo();
}
1) It would at least run. Can't say that for python.
2) Who writes code like that anyway?
3) By pressing exactly one key (actually a vulgar combination of three bucky bits and a key) in emacs, i can reformat the entire source so it is indented properly (this function does marvelously with C and C++ except for multiline macros, has some problems with perl). Since indent determines scope in python, this trick is impossible with python.
Maybe when I have less worries about being able to pay rent and grocery expenses in the near term (translation: i get a job) I'll resume my work on ni, which stands for "no indent", and will be my attempt at writing a new grammar for python that will still produce compatible bytecode. Just for kicks, I'll probably merge stackless in with ni as well, and will probably start diverging from the language once the grammar is established. I had the basics of the grammar working, but thanks to the coziness of python's lexer and parser, it still has some problems.
Yeah but it was one of those lame "must start with ADV" things. Unenforceable across state lines, incompatible, etc.
I did find it kind of amusing that Qwest does use the ADV subject in their emails to me, even though I'm a subscriber to their ISP service, so they don't really need to. Already raises my opinion of them from the rock bottom USWest occupied.

Try turning off power management in the BIOS, lemme know if this works. I suspect not, it probably issues a HALT or something.

> The software companies would like you to believe that there is a shortage of workers
Because it's true. You think they like paying a premium in a market where the interviewee has the upper hand and feels he can take off for another company if he has a few bad days? This doesn't mean every company is hiring ignoramuses, most would rather leave the position unfilled than pay someone who can't do the job.
> So you feel employees have a right to leak confidential Apple materials for personal gain? Huh?

Qt remains the property of TrollTech. It can't be forked.
Chapter and verse of the QPL that forbids forking, please? Troll.
Yes, and when you look at the sites for the political parties, the Democrats are running NT and the Republicans Solaris. Big hairy deal.
SOAP to handle low-level? My god, you thought cross-process CORBA calls were expensive to marshal, it has nothing on SOAP.
XPCOM is nice, but it's in-process only and any attempt to use component server middleware would be a grotesque hack ala DCOM.
