Gnu Quotes

We may see a Creature with forty-nine heads Who lives in the desolate snow, And whenever he catches a cold (which he dreads) He has forty-nine noses to blow. 'We may see the venomous Pink-Spotted Scrunch Who can chew up a man with one bite. It likes to eat five of them roasted for lunch And eighteen for its supper at night. 'We may see a Dragon, and nobody knows That we won't see a Unicorn there. We may see a terrible Monster with toes Growing out of the tufts of his hair. 'We may see the sweet little Biddy-Bright Hen So playful, so kind and well-bred; And such beautiful eggs! You just boil them and then They explode and they blow off your head. 'A Gnu and a Gnocerous surely you'll see And that gnormous and gnorrible Gnat Whose sting when it stings you goes in at the knee And comes out through the top of your hat. 'We may even get lost and be frozen by frost. We may die in an earthquake or tremor. Or nastier still, we may even be tossed On the horns of a furious Dilemma. 'But who cares! Let us go from this horrible hill! Let us roll! Let us bowl! Let us plunge! Let's go rolling and bowling and spinning until We're away from old Spiker and Sponge!

By 2009 the Debian version 5.0 of GNU/Linux had 324 million source lines of code, and one study estimated that it would have cost about $8 billion to develop by conventional means

The combination of GNU and Linux created an operating system that has been ported to more hardware platforms, ranging from the world’s ten biggest supercomputers to embedded systems in mobile phones, than any other operating system.

VI was predecessor to hundreds of word processing systems. By now, Unix folks see it as a bit stodgy—it hasn’t the versatility of Gnu-Emacs, nor the friendliness of more modern editors. Despite that, VI shows up on every Unix system.

Stallman issued a manifesto: “I consider that the Golden Rule requires that if I like a program I must share it with other people who like it. Software sellers want to divide the users and conquer them, making each user agree not to share with others. I refuse to break solidarity with other users in this way. . . . Once GNU is written, everyone will be able to obtain good system software free, just like air.”123

The combination of GNU and Linux created an operating system that has been ported to more hardware platforms, ranging from the world’s ten biggest supercomputers to embedded systems in mobile phones, than any other operating system. “Linux is subversive,” wrote Eric Raymond. “Who would have thought that a world-class operating system could coalesce as if by magic out of part-time hacking by several thousand developers scattered all over the planet,

Torvalds decided to use the GNU General Public License, not because he fully embraced the free-sharing ideology of Stallman (or for that matter his own parents) but because he thought that letting hackers around the world get their hands on the source code would lead to an open collaborative effort that would make it a truly awesome piece of software. “My reasons for putting Linux out there were pretty selfish,” he said. “I didn’t want the headache of trying to deal with parts of the operating system that I saw as the crap work. I wanted help.”136

I decided not to have children. (...) I am convinced I made a wise personal decision in avoiding this. But I was not the only one that benefited from it. Everyone did. Not having children is an important contribution to humanity. My decision probably reduced the 2050 population by 5 to 10 people. (...) My decision was a contribution, and enabled me to make another contribution: to launch GNU and the free software movement. Having no dependents, I could dedicate myself to what seemed right rather than to whatever someone with money told me to do. If you are reading this page, it is because that decision enabled me to make contributions to humanity that people appreciate.

Mungkin seharusnya aku menulis buku motivasi saja, mengutip ucapan para tokoh besar dunia dan meramunya dengan sedikit kisah perjuanganku menggapai mimpi. Pasar pembaca seperti itu tampaknya lebih luas—ada terlalu banyak orang yang sebentar-sebentar harus disuapi dengan petuah-petuah untuk memulai hari mereka. Mereka akan dengan rakus membeli dan melahap setiap buku-bukuku. Kelaparan mereka akan mengisi penuh pundi-pundiku. Akan tetapi tanganku terasa kaku setiap aku hendak memulai. Bagaimana aku bisa menulis dan menjadi inspirasi buat banyak orang bila aku sendiri merasa hidupku membosankan—dan hidup dalam rasa frustrasi berkepanjangan?

of pages recently visited. WebKit was originally created as a fork of KHTML as the layout engine for Safari; it is portable to many other computing platforms. Mac OS X and Windows are supported by the project.[3] WebKit's WebCore and JavaScriptCore components are available under the GNU Lesser General Public License, and the rest of WebKit is available under a

download the source you must select a file appropriate to your needs from the many that are listed. In addition to selecting the version of sendmail you want, you must choose between two forms of compressed tar(1) distributions. Those that end in . Z are compressed withUnix compress(1); those that end in . gz are compressed withGNU gzip(1). The latter is the preferred form because the file is smaller and therefore quicker to transfer. In addition to the two forms of distribution, each release has a PGP signature file associated withit.* Prior

The OS model has a natural overlap with much of the founding philosophy of 3D printing and is exemplified by pioneers RepRap. They have fully adopted the OS model and make their software available under a GNU license and include the .stl files for their devices with the sale of any printer. This allows the purchaser to reprint their device and pass it onto a friend.

To a real elephant, and not a sheep, wolf, or gnu in elephant’s clothing, you are not there. There is no You. There is no Is. There is only the Elephant. Don’t you see how silly that

If your software is built using the GNU autoconf system, pkg-config provides a simple macro you can use for finding the required flags for your build in the configure.ac script. You can also specify minimum required versions of a given library, as shown in this example: PKG_CHECK_MODULES(XCBLIBS, [xcb >= 1.6] xcb-icccm xcb-shape)

Apapun teorinya, hari sial itu memang ada. Bila mungkin, ingin rasanya menghapus hari tersebut atau memulai segala sesuatu dari awal. Bagaimana bila kita memulai hari dengan cara yang berbeda, memikirkan dan melakukan hal-hal yang berbeda atau tidak mengambil keputusan-keputusan yang telah kita ambil di hari itu, akankah hidup membawa kita pada akhir yang berbeda?

Finalmente podemos argumentar que esse tipo de pirataria na verdade ajuda o dono do copyright. Quando os chineses "pirateiam" o Windows, isso torna a China dependente da Microsoft. A Microsoft perde o valor do software tomado. Mas ele ganha usuários que estarão acostumados a viverem no mundo da Microsoft. Com o tempo, conforme as nações ficarem mais ricas, mais e mais pessoas irão comprar software ao invés de o piratear. E com tempo, já que tais compras beneficiarão a Microsoft, a Microsoft irá se beneficiar da pirataria. Se ao invés de piratearem o Microsoft Windows os chineses estivessem usando o sistema operacional livre GNU/Linux, então esses usuários chineses não iriam comprar eventualmente produtos Microsoft. Sem pirataria, portanto, a Microsoft iria perder dinheiro.

Der er flere grunde - men få gode- til, hvorfor mange psykiatriske patienter har flere diagnoser. For det første er de diagnostiske kriterier meget brede og meget uspecifikke for de problemer, patienterne har. For det andet er der en masse overlapning mellem de forskellige diagnostiske kategorier og en tilbøjelighed til, at tilstanden kan ændre sig med tiden til noget andet. Dette kaldes ofte komorbiditet, selvom problemet ikke er, at patienten har flere 'sygdomme', men at sygdommene er så vagt definerede, at det er ligesom, hvis en biolog ser en skygge på lang afstand og siger: 'Det er en elefant og en gnu og muligvis et næsehorn'. For det tredje bliver medicinbivirkninger ofte fejlfortolket som nye sygdomme. Ordinering af ét lægemiddel kan derfor ofte føre til ordinering af andre typer lægemidler på en kaskadelignende måde. [...] Læger er nødt til at indse, at det er umuligt at vurdere, om en patient virkelig har disse yderligere 'sygdomme', så længe patienten er under indflydelse af hjerneaktivitet kemikalier. Skadevirkningerne kan komme og gå, hvilket er en vigtig grund til, at folk tror, det ikke kan være lægemidlet. På denne måde kan ikke blot den rutinemæssige behandling, men også forsøg på at nedtrappe et lægemiddel - som ofte fremkalder disse bivirkninger - føre til flere diagnoser, flere stoffer og mere skade.

Xhosa has also indirectly contributed the more familiar gnu and – a calque of umkhaya – homeboy. One

When the ANSI C standard was under development, the pragma directive was introduced. Borrowed from Ada, #pragma is used to convey hints to the compiler, such as the desire to expand a particular function in-line or suppress range checks. Not previously seen in C, pragma met with some initial resistance from a gcc implementor, who took the “implementation-defined” effect very literally—in gcc version 1.34, the use of pragma causes the compiler to stop compiling and launch a computer game instead! The gcc manual contained the following: The “#pragma” command is specified in the ANSI standard to have an arbitrary implementation-defined effect. In the GNU C preprocessor, “#pragma” first attempts to run the game “rogue”; if that fails, it tries to run the game “hack”; if that fails, it tries to run GNU Emacs displaying the Tower of Hanoi; if that fails, it reports a fatal error. In any case, preprocessing does not continue. —Manual for version 1.34 of the GNU C compiler

This means that there were two major influences from Unix to Linux—GNU, which remains a prominent component of many different distributions of Linux, and the initial development of Linux done within the MINIX system.

The gnu gives a panache turn to my guardian in the pneu.

When one’s time approached, how much better to go out in a blaze of glorious lunacy, on a gnu, than to dribble one’s life away in a rocking chair. Alexander,

From a low hill in this broad savanna, a magnificent prospect opened out to us.7 To the very brink of the horizon we saw gigantic herds of animals: gazelle, antelope, gnu, zebra, warthog, and so on. Grazing heads nodding, the herds moved forward like slow rivers. There was scarcely any sound save the melancholy cry of a bird of prey. This was the stillness of the eternal beginning, the world as it had always been, in the state of non-being … I walked away from my companions until I had put them out of sight, and savoured the feeling of being entirely alone.

For less than the cost of a standard Windows license, you can download GNU tools and a fresh Linux kernel or good free software which you will enjoy much more.

No gnus is good gnus, unless you are agnother gnu.

Un shell permite ser ejecutado de forma interactiva cuando acepta comandos directamente desde el teclado, no interactivos cuando aceptas comandos que provienen de un archivo.

Over the past decade Stallman created a powerful editing program called Gnu-Emacs. But Gnu’s much more than just a text editor. It’s easy to customize to your personal preferences. It’s a foundation upon which other programs can be built. It even has its own mail facility built in. Naturally, our physicists demanded Gnu; with an eye to selling more computing cycles, we installed it happily.

The longer you live, the more involuted and unique all your friendships become, until each is as exotic and alien from the others as creatures on widely divergent evolutionary branches, bearing as much resemblance to one another as a lightning whelk and a gnu.

hard·ware n. The part of a computer system that can be kicked.
