This is something we (jagadishm and me) were were waiting for (/speculating about) some time ago.
konqueror gets there on 19th August 2006. (current rating: 2276)
Also, a congratulatory thread on the TopCoder Forums.
Edit: Can any of you find konqueror's real name for me ?
Edit2: Solved by the man himself; thank you.
This plugin is used to send the log of the current IM window to the user whose e-mail address is thetoaddress@targetdomain.com when the user types
/sendlog thetoaddress@targetdomain.com
as in IM window.
Get the readme.txt file first and read it completely before you get and use the plugin.
Get the GNU/Linux binary (.so), source, some additional required files, (and readme.txt) in a compressed file here.
Update: Memory allocation bug detected. Version 0.02 will be out soon to correct this.
Change the [1000] to something higher (or allocate dynamically) and recompile before use, else Gaim will crash if you put/get messages bigger than 1000 chars. If you can't do this, do not use this plugin in version 0.01.
Speaker: Richard Stallman
Date: 19th August 2006
Venue: Faculty Hall, IISc.
Capacity: 160
Attendance: 120 at 11 a.m. to 140 by 11:10 a.m. to 120 by 12:40 p.m. to 80 by 1:35 p.m.
11:03 a.m. - 12:40 p.m. -> Talk
What was said: The usual. Humorous in parts, as expected.
Jokes like:
"GNU is often mispronounced as gnu or Linux."
"It's a moral duty. If there was a person drowning, and I knew swimming, and the person wasn't Bush, I'd have tried to save him."
Always expanded DRM as "Digital Restrictions Management", and TRIPES as "The Restrictions and Impediments to Profession, Education, and Society".
The 12:35 p.m. Saint IGNUcius act with the black overgarment, halo, and pose with one arm raised blessing the audience and the other carrying a laptop had the audience in splits.
Stuff I'm more convinced of than before:
The use of free software even if it is less powerful than propreitery software, because it means freedom.
To not use propreitery software _at all_ even if we have not paid for it.
12:40 p.m. - 1:35 p.m. -> Q & A.
1:35 p.m. - 1:40 p.m. -> Distribution of Gnu/Linux stickers for free, and Rs. 200 pins (to donate to the FSF so that they can hire more programmers / pay them).
Things to do:
Spend a few minutes a day advocating the goals of freedom to people using software, and if that's not possible, at least spend a few seconds a day calling GNU/Linux by it's correct name.
Notes:
Try pronouncing guh-noo, knew, new, gnu. The last 3 are pronounced the same by Americans (at least).
The right pronounciation of GNU is guh-noo, but one doesn't need to stress tooo much on the guh. Also, EMACS is pronounced e-max (not ee-max, e.m.a.c.s. etc.).
Richard Stallman doesn't get too tired even after 2 hours of speaking standing, doesn't need a prepared speech, wants a good mic and the air conditioner turned on high, and thinks his speech is the best at the start and will wait for people to enter so that they get to hear it as well. Pauses in the middle at times, but as expected, is very fluent and has an understandable accent.
Possibility, not possiblity.
Theorem, not theorum.
Sentence, not sentance.
Negative, not negetive, though.
Weird, not wierd.
Also, 'hierarchical' and 'arbitrary'.
Any more words frequently used and mis-spelt by you ? Comment.
