I read a paper a while back that claimed that visual progrmaming
languages where universally slower to use and either hid rather too
much detial or quickly got messy, depending on the visual programming
language in question. None of the visual languages produced programs
that were any more reliable anyway. Unless you wish to push a CS point
I guess they are not worth much anyway.
Proof methods and analysis in general for such languages is lacking at
the moment, unless you translated them into non-visual versions
first---so if your program fials badly due a race condition or
something you are in there are no current formal, or even semi-formal,
methods to help. (Generally formal methods are good at locating
bugs--you try to prove something and the reason you fail is the bug).

Subject: Help defeat UCITA
Date: Wed, 7 Jul 1999 02:19:14 -0400
[The Free Software Project is posting this message to aid a campaign
led by others (see below) against UCITA. For more information,
please see the web sites below. Please repost this message as
widely as possible, wherever it is appropriate.]
UCITA (formerly UCC article 2B) is a plan to change the law in the US,
state by state, to give software publishers unprecedented power over
software users, through "shrink wrap" licenses. Software owners would
be able to prohibit you from doing reverse-engineering to figure out
the protocol used by the program, prohibit you from telling the public
about bugs you encounter, insist that you can only sue them in
Paraguay, change the license terms post-facto, and enter your computer
to shut off the software if they claim you have violated their
one-sided license.
UCITA would also apply to other products that contain software or
information--for example, digital watches, microwave ovens, and cars.
Wave goodbye to consumer protection laws.
Fortunately, there is a strong campaign to oppose UCITA. Infoworld
has organized a letter-writing petition campaign which you can join.
See http://forums.infoworld.com/threads/get.cgi?115803.
The principal vote (in late July) will by a committee of the state
representatives to the commission on uniform state laws, and there is
also a campaign asking you to write to your own state's commissioner.
See http://www.badsoftware.com/ for advice on how to do this, and much
more information about UCITA. Another resource page about UCITA is
http://www.pdos.lcs.mit.edu/~cananian/UCITA/.
I hope each US citizen or resident reading this message will help
oppose UCITA in one way or another.

Hi!
I am porting small to medium size C++ program written for Solaris (comes

R.H. Linux 5.2. I tried to modify the makefile and run it, but I could not
get it compiled properly.
At this point, I couldn't be more specific than what's mentioned above. But,
in generally, what
should one watch out when porting C++ program from Solaris to Linux?

When I said "European", I was including Russia. Australia/New
Zealand/Canada went wherever Britain went.
As for Japan/China, until Dec, 1941 that was almost a separate, regional
war. Even though there were various treaties and non-aggression pacts
between Japan and the other players, most nations were _not_ at war with
Japan before that, including Britain. Also Canada, Poland, South
Africa, Australia, New Zealand, etc.
Between Dec 7, 1941 and Dec 13, 1941, all those countries (and more)
declared war on Japan, and in addition the U.S., the Central American
countries, Cuba, and a few others declared war on Japan _and_
Germany/Italy.
There's an argument to be made that this mushrooming of the conflict in
the space of less than a week, "choosing up sides" as it were, is the
real start to the _world_ war. Whether it would have been called a
"World War" if none of those things had happened is something we'll
never know.
I actually don't agree with the original assertion; I've always felt
that WWII started on Sep. 1, 1939, no later than Sep. 3, 1939. That's
the beginning of the conflict that directly grew into WWII, with no
intervening peace, so it's all WWII to me. But that's just MHO.
All I was trying to say was that the original poster wasn't saying that
no war exists unless the U.S. is a party to it (which was the ridiculous
comment made in a followup), or even necessarily that no world war
exists unless the U.S. is involved, although some would make that
argument (would we still call it WWII if Great Britain hadn't been
involved, for example? Maybe, maybe not. Does it matter? I can't for
the life of me see how.)
I'm done.

Kayla,
The apps that you mention are probably easiest supported with Microsoft.
LINUX would be tough to find these apps for, harder still to share the files
you create with others in the rest of the Microsoft dominated world. LINUX
would be a good solution only if money is a HUGE concern.
If you buy WIndows 98 or NT 4 now, Micro$oft is offering a "Technology
UPgrade Solution", which basically means you will be able to upgrade for
free when Win 2000 comes around. But I wouldn't worry about trying to
migrate to one platform until Win 2000. If everything is working now, don't
create additional headaches upgrading to NT 4 only to have to upgrade again
in 6 month's time. Also, from a support standpoint, one OS and Office
application suite would be easiest to maintain.

Normally, there is no problem because samba check the password in smbpasswd

you can have a lock user in passwd and the same user in smbpasswd file whith
a password.
try the smbadduser program.

On my system I have these packages installed:
[root@server /root]# rpm -qa | grep nfs
knfsd-1.2.2-4
knfsd-clients-1.2.2-4
[root@server /root]# rpm -qf /etc/exports
setup-2.0.2-1
The good news is that I have finally figured out a way to get around
what appears to be a bug in mountd or nfsd... When I added my client's
IP address into the /etc/hosts file on my server, everything works ok.
That is, I added the clien's IP into /etc/hosts, and the client can
mount the file system without any permissions problems. There is
definately a bug of some sort here because I don't think having the IP
in the hosts file should be necessary, especially given some of the
combinations I was trying in the exports file (allowing all hosts,
specifying the insecure option, etc.).
Does anyone have any idea why the server would require the client IP
address in the hosts file in order for things to work correctly?
In any event, to all the people that replied to my post and tried to
help: Thanks!

Well, I have no idea what was wrong last night, but it works now! I

It worked in neither. Now it works. Go figure.

There is always away.
But here are some points.
The Good:
One:
NetZero Uses standard Dial-Up-Networking (VPN)
and all the Microsoft Default protocols.
Two:
Written in Java! I think? (See coffee cup Icon). :P
And Like a good or bad cup of coffee works anywhere.
Three:
There is WINE (windows emulator) when all else fails. :)
The bad:
One:
Netzero MUST start the services. Probably looking for specific ones by
name.
Two:
This would require knowledge of Linux VPN and Windows VPN.
I knowonly how to setup windows.
Three:
I have no clue what goes on behind the scenes. It would be trial and
error. But since it took me a month of repeated nightly attempts to
install Linux anyway. (my CDRom which isn't supported died). I don't
give up easily. I just need to know what (how to's software etc. to do
this.)
