OT - Please don't feed the Troll(s)
Folks, I fully understand the emotional need to respond to one who throws around terms like "Communist", "Tyrannical", etc. even if ostensibly framed as a rhetorical question. Certain terms and phrases are by nature pejorative and I;m sure the OP knew this when he entered his post. My feeling was the OP is either an ignorant, unappreciative, self-centered, and emotionally

MIT vs GPL vs LGPL for open source project
I intend to release a project I wrote with Rails. What is the right licensing scheme for a web application (content managing system) which could grow with plugins and add-ons ? Personally, I would prefer the GPL but does that mean any add-on to the CMS (like task management) will have to be GPL ? If some people contribute to the code could it still be double-licenced so that the people who

...made an error in injecting political rhetoric into his answer to Thomas Leigh. And, yes, that's Business 101. I now choose to probably not use the product because I choose not to support anti free market thinking. * Free Market is not an American Capitalist "buzz word" as you pejoratively and dismissively put it. It is, in fact, the essential characteristic of a very good system called Capitalism. * You note that Xiph.Org Foundation is a non-profit organization presumably to elevate its agenda to some worldly wonderful purpose ... as if to say "our work is so profoundl...

Clunky Xorg with latest 6.7 upgrade?
What video card are you using? Xorg driver or proprietary binary thing? The next thing I'd do is boot the last kernel under which you saw "normal" performance. If booting the older kernel doesn't fix the problem, then the problem is probably the X11 server. At that point, I'd start using "yum downgrade" to revert individual components, and reboot until you

Hello Jean: Big mistake!! One of the three things that a supplier should never discuss is politics ... that's business 101. Speex may be a very good product, but we will never use it because of the politics that you espouse ... some of us out here believe strongly in the free market. And we also know that monopolies can't exist because entrepreneurs will always exploit the

The Origins of R AND CALCULUS

Reducing the deleterious effects of ego related issues on the list: growing up individually.
Folks, I *suggest* that little or no reply to this is warranted. It's just the statements of an old fart trying to make a (slightly) better environment for all of us. These thoughts are offered for consideration and use as you see fit. For some, "Hey, that'll work for me too" is the hoped for result. No discussion is intended or warranted, IMO.

Customers/clients unhappy with the inefficiency, extra CPU and RAM usage, and performance penalty of JIT. They require a faster, more efficient solution. The solution is to fully compile programs to native code at the time of
