You're right. I'm not either of those people but this surely isn't the place for discussing spelling or back slapping each other over how long you've been using computers. If you truly don't know who those people are, then maybe you should spend some time at the cygwin community web page. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/

If we continued on this discourse, Corrina and Igor (whoever are these people?) would comment that we are on the wrong cygwin list. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Chris Green Sent: Mon, November 21, 2005 11:06 AM To: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com Subject: Re: FIXED my freeze on startup problem On Mon, Nov 21, 2005 at 10:51:41AM -0500, Soong, SylokeJ wrote: > > In the UK the tendency is (or at least my tendency is) to use program > > for a computer program and programme for a radio or television > > programme. > > > I was born and then schooled in a time and place > where there was no distinction between the schemes > of thought in tv and computer programmes. > Yes, I am that old and ancient. > I wonder if you are older and ancienter than I am?

RE: FIXED my freeze on startup problem
I was born and then schooled in a time and place where there was no distinction between the schemes of thought in tv and computer programmes. Yes, I am that old and ancient. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Chris Green Sent: Mon, November 21, 2005 10:47 AM To: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com Subject: Re: FIXED my freeze on startup problem On Mon, Nov 21, 2005 at 10:40:03AM -0500, Soong, SylokeJ wrote: > > An irrelevant thought to nibble: > I spell programme rather than program, not just > because of my origin, but also when spelt as > program, southerners like jimmy carter pronounce it > as "progrom" which sounds discomforting. > In the UK the tendency is (or at least my tendency is) to use program for a computer program and programme for a radio or television programme. -- Chris Green ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) "Never ascribe to malice that which can be explained by incompetence." -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/ -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/

RE: FIXED my freeze on startup problem
As opposed to freeze-on-startup, I experience a freeze-when-network-busy. More precisely, it is freeze-after-network-busy, because even after the network clog has cleared, cygwin/x remains frozen. I am on wireless, and at times the bandwidth to my laptop is reduced by traffic. I use a motif activity intensive programme called SAS. When bandwidth gets clogged, all cygwin/x windows comes to a standstill, xterms and non-SAS windows as well. When clog is cleared and bandwidth returns to 54Mbs, all of cygwin/x remains frozen. I have end cygwin/x, lose all my charts and code written to restart it. An irrelevant thought to nibble: I spell programme rather than program, not just because of my origin, but also when spelt as program, southerners like jimmy carter pronounce it as "progrom" which sounds discomforting. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Andy Schmidgall Sent: Sun, November 20, 2005 12:57 AM To: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com Subject: FIXED my freeze on startup problem A few months ago I wrote asking for help with my freeze on startup problem. I just now figured out what the problem was. I did some more looking at the log files, and XWin was waiting for a hung sh process that was doing something with keyboard maps. I found a post that suggested adding a -kb to my XWin command line parameters, and that did the trick! I just wanted to let you all know another possible cause for the freezes on startup. -Andy -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/ -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
