7/4     Is anyone on Soda a shareware author for living?  Is it at all
        possible?
        \_ does http://www.wulfram.com count?
        \_ I think this guy has no day job, and probably makes a decent living:
           http://www.winedt.com
           his software really really really kicks ass, though, and
           the price is pretty low for how great it is, so people don't
           feel as annoyed by paying.  if this software were for sale in a
           store for 100 bucks, i'd still go buy it.
        \_ There are a very rare few people in the world who have made huge
           wads of cash from shareware.  There is a slightly larger group that
           makes a living but nothing spectacular from it.  The other 98% don't
           make enough to buy a can of beans.
        \_ I don't know of anyone who does it full-time, but there are a lot
           of people out there who write one or two cool toys, and then
           get a fair amount of pocket money out of it.  Except for the fact
           that he's a really over-the-top jesus looney, the dude who wrote
           UltraEdit is a pretty good example.  -John

4/02    We use Perforce at work for revision control. It seems to work okay.
        Lately, a lot of the newer developers are saying that Perforce
        sucks and we should switch to Mercurial or Git. I have done some
        searching on the Internet and some others have this opinion. Added
        advantage is that Mercurial and Git are free. However, there would
        be some work to switch for the sysadmins and the developers.

1/10    In subversion (svn) is there a way to check out a file from
        a different BRANCH for diff purposes?
        \_ More specifically, do you want to compare your working copy of
           file.c with one in a branch?  Or do you want to compare the
           repository copy of file.c in trunk vs. file.c in branch?
           \_ compare a particular revision in trunk with a particular

10/3    Is there a command in cvs that'll tell me what files I've
        editted/changed from the original cvs update?  \_ Use the -n flag.
        I normally use cvs -n update.  \_ Do you have to use CVS or can
        you migrate to something else?
           \_ Yeah, subversion is quite nice.  I hated it at first, though
              \_ How do you find out what files I've editted in svn?

10/24   So why is Firefox at 2.0 now?  Granted this revision is a bit bigger
        than most minor revisions, but neither the program architecture or
        plugin interface changed much.
        \_ Marketing?  Maybe even free software needs marketing?
           \_ The marketing wants to be freeeeee!!1111

6/14    I am thinking of getting a 17" Macbook Pro to replace my 17"
        Powerbook G4. I haven't been following CPUs lately. Is there any
        reason to wait (i.e. something better is just around the corner)?
        \_ merom is supposed to be released around september.  it will be
           64 bit and use less power than the current chip.  if you can wait
           that long, you might as well.
