Creating a partion with mkfs.ntfs and not seeing it in windows 7 - why ?

2012-03-03 Thread Dan Shimshoni
Hi, I create a partition in Linux (on a dual boot Fedora/windows 7 machine) by mkfs.ntfs /dev/sda6 The operation succeeded ok. I can see the NTFS partition in linux by fdisk -l. However, when I booted into windows 7 on this machine I could not see that partition in windows explorer nor in disk

shared object from object files not compiled with -fPIC - 32 vs. 64 bit

2012-03-03 Thread Shachar Shemesh
I have recently came across a surprising difference between 32 and 64 bit platforms (we are, of course, talking about Intel: X86 vs. X86_64/AMD64). On 32 bit platforms, if you try to link object files not compiled with -fPIC (say, a static library), the compilation passes. On further

Hi Orna, Nadav, Google wont stay with any outdated version and Nadav wont succeed in suing Google for anything. AGPL is an own-goal in the truest sense. Google will simply reverse engineer Nadav's code in a clean room envrionment, if they think that they need it. And if they don't, as you

Hi Nadav, It's a question of how you look at the world - the way it should be or the way it is. The way it is (or was), there was no way either LibreOffice or OpenOffice would ever be GPL and so Hspell did not get in. You can claim a moral victory but the user community is poorer as a result.

As usual, because Hspell is open-source, proprietary software writers have the option to fully evaluate every aspect of Hspell, and its suitability for their product, before they decide to use it. But if they do use it, they should indeed not use the AGPL but rather negotiate a special
