I'm ok with the apathetic and negative so long as they don't try to infect others. I've no time for whingers, I've a lot of time for people who try - and they may fail (I've had my share of that), but at least they

That's what the IPCC is for, surely. Talk to them. Don't just give up.

You are quite right, I should have stated that.

Which you should use are often unknowable because it's often about how the code is driven by the data - you need to know the characteristics of the data to know how the code will behave, only then can you meaningfully talk about pickin

Emacs docs aren't perfect but they are a major, major strength of it and I wish so much other software would learn from it. The devs are really responsive too - good guys!

Optimisation is a tricky one as you need the various cardinalities, how do you handle that?

"...adding to the existing problems of price rises and waning consumer demand" Not remotely possible that people could be being put off by gouging prices, is it? My local pub/club used to do shots at £2.50 They are now £3.50[

The point is the licenses are irrelevant: The IP lawyer said they take quietly, they incorporate it into their products which they sell. the licences are being ignored . It's what she said.

Yep, very good point. I take it back.

It's extremely easy to say what you say without having written a book. Harry Potter into public domain I'm prob OK with but some people put years of their life into technical books. My father did. EDIT: ach, didn't read your

That's a constructive answer, so thanks, although I have to ask your view of how BSD was used by apple to build a massive fortune but without paying significantly back to the BSD community. Overheard from an IP lawyer I stood near to o

At least a mirror won't tell me "you're fucked, give up now". In that sense, I can expect a less enervating response.

Regarding the interface: no. I bought one of these and regretted it ever since. It may well be better than the competition currently, but it is still got a shitty interface that demands your attention for anything. Small example: to switch

I've just spent 2 years writing something which ain't got anything else like it. It was technically pretty difficult and needed a lot of background knowledge. Should I be disallowed to commercialise it? I partly get where you stan
