There is no excuse for Oil being a raw material needed to ship food No, there isn't. Which is why those who can are switching to gas (which, lo and behold, farmers can produce that themselves) and hydrogen and trains anyways. The only problem is the lag of the infrastructure, that is, inertia. But that wasn't the point, I see. And as for hydrogen: how do you make hydrogen? By using energy to first get the hydrogen? I'm not familiar with the process. I know you can make hydrogen from water, by dissecting water into pieces through electrolysis. But this costs you energy - the electricity that it takes to make hydrogen may be more than what you are in fact getting OUT of the hydrogen that you produce. I'm not sure though. Then again, it does cost us money to run oil rigs and etc. - and we do get more oil out of the ground than it costs us to retrieve the oil. _ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives

Takes a long time to wade through all the rants on that site. comments on the wiki entry Open Source Service Scared Him: The one who wrote that pamphlet sure hasn't been a farmer. Food is easily replicative, what a joke. Any idea how hard it is? All farming methods, crop tricks, etc. should be shared among farmers Of course, it is unethical not to. If one doesn't share the tricks and someone else messes up and causes half of the population of the country to starve to death because the harvest is ruined, then one must _really_ like killing people. What a bad example the food example was. There is no excuse for Oil being a raw material needed to ship food No, there isn't. Which is why those who can are switching to gas (which, lo and behold, farmers can produce that themselves) and hydrogen and trains anyways. The only problem is the lag of the infrastructure, that is, inertia. But that wasn't the point, I see. '..but what are farmers going to do for a living? How are they going to continue to pay their bills if there are always helpful open source farmers working on free (as in speech and open source) food crops?' If nobody works on maintaining soil, most of us are dead. Hence someone does. So it's a strange idea to have in the first place. And how would he not get paid for doing *actual* work? But he shouldn't get paid for the selfless service of keeping tricks secret and causing half the population to die, obviously. And there is such a thing as too much work to handle for one place. Software is different in that 1) it's very easy to write, I can write working new apps in a _week_ 2) it requires peer review to be any good / secure / trustable 3) it's easily copied at almost no cost and time at all, it's like you had a star-trek replicator that clones whatever food you want, and additionally, takes almost no time and energy to create an identical clone. (*especially* 2)) Are you telling me 400 hours of software work is easily replicative? No, but the result is. The work is paid. Copying the result isn't. How about the fact that food requires no maintenance with regards to system administration? It does, tons of it. So hard that you need generations of knowledge just to know how to do it. There are advantages with other materials than just software. Just because software can be copied easily, does not mean it can be maintained easily. It doesn't need to be maintained at all, if there are no changes in requirements. if there *are* changes in requirements, someone that did those is going to pay someone to change the software or do it himself. Oh yes, the real world is different and not made of candy. Yes :) Software doesn't go bad. I use programs I/someone else wrote years ago without having to do any changes. The major reason for the stinted view that open source programmers carry along with them, is that they must get paid money some how. They feel, that the software can be free, but something just can't. Money? Free? how are those related? O_o I don't need to charge extortion money, I got enough real work to do to keep me busy for the next three lives. Of course I don't get filthy rich but I sure sleep better. Note that I actually am _against_ working without getting something out of it (Not neccessarily money though). But the many things I do write without getting money for them (search google) take _forever_ and then some to complete. But they get done.

Quick question for everyone. As some might know, I am working on a program in Lazarus with a group of people fairly spread out. The project manager is in northern Brazil. He has developed the beginings of an interface and it is working fine on WinXP, but it is not working under Linux. Unfortunately, he does not know how to quickly set up a Linux box so he can debug. In response, I have created a vmware system image of a linux machine with lazarus and zeoslib/firebird and svn version of OpSim which builds OpSim quite nicely. It is runable with the free version of vmware player ( http://www.vmware.com/products/player/ ). Here is my problem, the zip'd image file is a little over a GB (I did not strip everything out of a Ubuntu installation for fear of not having a stable system). Samuel has given me access to a ftp site to put it on. However, so far I have not been able to upload it ... the file gets to 600 mb and the server stops responding... Does anyone have a location (ftp or web based ) that I can place this image for a couple of weeks? Anyone is free to use it.. it is a fully usuable pre set up linux installation.. it just needs the svn synced to the current version. I need to get this done fairly quickly as I have a flight to Singapore set for Monday and hotel links tend to have slow uploads...Matt Henley
Re: [lazarus] Temperary FTP Speace
Have you tried www.rapidshare.de ? You can break the image into some 6-7 files under 100 MB and upload them there. Timothy. Matt Henley пишет: Quick question for everyone.

Re: [lazarus] Temperary FTP Speace
You could split the file into pieces and rejoin it together later. I'd do it in 100MB splits, or 50MB splits.

Anyway it was fun to build the program.. the real problem was my google skills weren't good enough. Some times I don't know what a certain feature is called. Resume splitting? I don't know. I needed to learn a bit about splitting files in Pascal, so I wrote a util to gain some pascal knowledge. Unfortunately I didn't come from the TurboPascal days where it was very common to split a file onto several floppies. I don't have that experience. :-) p.s. just buy EditPlus and skip Synedit. It's faster than most Synedit based editors. Just pay the $30 for EditPlus already and quit the Synedit nonsense. But of course, synedit is fun to learn about and can always do more then editplus will ever be able to do, due to extensibility. Actually that's why I wrote the file splitting utility - it is inhouse software that I need to extend later on in a few months anyway.
