Anybody know what's going on?

no permanent "forbidden" here either and I have some pretty stringent 
controls on my browser.

I cannot resist chipping in here but i honestly cannot think of ONE 
thing thati mproved following a microsoft acquisition, 
truespace(acquired in 2008 or thereaboiuts) abandoned. no longer 
supported despite it being well regarded by many. oh and look what 
happenned to the "partnership" between Microsoft and Nokia!! MS has had( 
and probably still has a habit of) acquirng( or attempting to acquire) 
any company or entitiy that it sees as a potential threat, then grinds 
that company or entity to the ground.

end of rant. ;-)

Re: [Lazarus] Do we really need a PaintSwastika procedure?

2016-01-08 Thread Shaun O'Connor
I concur completely,  Just because a particular  graphic is included in 
the distribution densest oblige one to make use of it.


If we all got nit picky about the meaning of various symbols we would 
never get anywhere, , I say let the matter rest and concentrate on 
continuing the good work of a fine open source project.

My two cents.

This has gotten completely out of hand.  When an item has multiple 
meanings (e.g., artistic, religious or offensive political history) we 
should give it the benefit of the doubt and LEAVE IT IN.


This is Lazarus (an international programming organization), not a 
totalitarian regime.  As was exemplified before, should we paint a 
Hindu who is printing a religious symbol with the same brush as a 
Neo-Nazi?  I say NO.  Most people who are technically competent enough 
to install and use Lazarus have the ability to draw anything they want 
anyway.


PLEASE, LET'S TERMINATE THIS THREAD, NOW!

Re: [Lazarus] Programming tutorials

2015-05-08 Thread Shaun O'Connor

on the subject of pascal tutorials...this site

http://schoolfreeware.com/Tutorials.html

An earlier version of Lazarus is used in the tutorial material but it is
quite comprehensive, well paced and I Believe there is sample code
available.

 Hi,

 Over the years I have often seen posts about people looking for
 programming tutorials on Object Pascal. Last night I found a YouTube
 channel which seems to fit the bill perfectly. It introduces the
 language and concepts in an easy to understand way. There are around 30
 videos of varying lengths.

 It features Delphi programming, but that should translate nearly 1:1 to
 FPC+Lazarus.

 ps:
 Excuse the strong South African English accent. ;-)

part of apple policy unfortunately. they are pandering to demand and
putting quantity over and above quality which will ultimately alienate
them from otherwise staunch supporters of the platform. just my pennies
worth sorry its a tiny bit off topic.

 I now refuse to upgrade my OSX. Every new version is worse that the one
 before. Everything looks uglier and more dumbed down and iPad like.
 Apple keeps [silently] removing features too - ftp server, nfs etc. It
 is so damn annoying.

  Is there any way to receive ALL messages from the list, in full,

  Thank you!
 

 Are you sure your ISP is not filtering or something?, what MUA do you
 use?.
