You are completely wrong, monumentally misinformed, and do not have the

Off topic. Re-read my original post; I discussed publicly funded
research, not published code. You are replying to me, not me to you. If
you want to set the topic, then post first.

Off topic. I said pubicly funded research is *not* in the public domain.
Yet you persist in attempting to shift the topic to public domain issues.

What does that have to do with copyright attributions? I don't give a
shit about the mechanics of the protocol for the purpose of this
discussion, only the copyright issues. Get back on topic.

That's almost what I said, but again you're not quite right. A few more
waffling topic-shifting posts and you should have it.

It would help if you stayed on topic.
As a friend, take my advice, and bail out of this gracefully. I've got
more IP than you've got pubic hairs. If you persist, I will bury you.

Oh shit, Charlie is one of my heroes. Nobody ever wonders what side of

Yeah I'd definitely nominate Aaron... he's threatened to kill Bill Gates
3 times since I've been in here, and he's made numerous threats against
other people. Not only that but the guy is a total loon... I finally
decided to take him off my killfile when I realized the fun I was
missing trying to get him to admit he was posting from a Windows
machine.
And Ebert... God what a nutcase. He seems to have a fascination with
"shoving things up peoples _sses". Go research it on Deja.com, I
wouldn't make that up. His fowl, crude, and low-brow statements make
into my dictionary of some of the funniest USENET drivel I've ever seen.
So I'd nominate both of them.

Okay, but why does it need the GDI to function correctly?
What is the *point* in making the OS depended on the GDI?

How making the OS crash if the GDI crash (even in it's in user mode) cause

Yes, at the moment it run in kernel space, but would it cause such trouble
if it would run on user space?

There is a confustion here.
In Windows, there is the GUI, which is handled by Explorer, and there is the
GDI, which does the screen drawing.
You can kill the GUI & restart it, but the GDI is the one that the system is
depended on.

Okay, this makes much more sense now.
Win32 is depended on the GDI, and if the GDI crash, Win32 will crash too.
This obviously render the system unworkable.
Can the system *restart* Win32 & GDI?
Or would too much data would be lost to make it a workable solution?

I hope you'll forgive us if we all (even including most wintrolls, and MS
themselves) laugh ourselves silly at that statement.
One of the fabulous new added features of both Office XP and Windows XP is
how well it can cope with crashes - automatically recovering documents (for
Office), preparing error reports and sending in details of the bug directly
to MS. If you don't mind the idea of your PC reporting back to big brother
for every problem, and you believe MS will bother trying to patch the bugs,
then this is a good idea. But it really shows the kind of confidence MS
have in their own software when they boast of their new crash recovery and
reporting system.
