  1. article? on What Do You Think of the 'Hitman' Ad? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Great, linking to article requiring registration. Link to ad in question would be much better.

  2. Re:You think it's bad *now* on College Student Receives Email of the Lost · · Score: 1

    Hey, but he is not sending thoses messages, he receives them. Charging for incoming SMSes would be insane. It would be so dumb like charging for incoming *phone calls*, silly idea dropped by operators 15 years ago. Before even GSM got popular, when analog cellular telephony ruled.

    A full OpenGl desktop will be problematic when you want to run a 'windowed' version of Quake in for example,

  4. Re:All this will do... on Windows Vista x64 To Require Signed Drivers · · Score: 1

    Signed somehow? Why not just use normal channels -- all those signed drivers didn't fall from skies.

  5. Avatars on Google's GTalk Supports XMPP · · Score: 1

    I tried yesterday to store my photo in VCard on GoogleTalk server. It didn't work, which is strange -- photo in VCard is standard way to define avatars. It works with other jabber servers.

    And support for MUC (Multi User Chat) is spotty -- some users were invisible to google account.

    Both situation tested with Gajim.

    You have to power it anyway, so there already cable. Why not transfer photos with it? Think power-over-ethernet.

  10. Re:Unfree on XGL Development Opens Up · · Score: 1

    I don't get it. I have Matrox G550 with 100% Open Source driver. It allows me to play Quake3 at almost 50+ fps. And somehow this card is unable to draw few rectangles for a desktop? Something is not right here.

    That's what "Do Not Disturb" status is for.

    But still - saying ,,whole Europe use MSN'' is simply not true.

  15. Re:Not a very substantial "article" on Linux Instant Messengers · · Score: 1

    Everybody in the entire continent of Europe uses MSN Messenger

    What planet did you come from? I haven't seen SINGLE PERSON using MSN ever. Everyone is using some local IM (like Gadu Gadu - 5 mln users, or Tlen - about 2 million, in Poland) or use Jabber/XMPP. In Europe.

    Anyway, GAIM is mediocre Jabber client. Much better is Gajim, or Psi, used by majority jabber users.

    What do you fear? Linux already support Trusted Computing. Anyone can start using it now! Microsoft is still at least a year behind.

  18. Re:No translated version on Firefox 1.0.7 Released · · Score: 1

    If you looked harder you would find translations by me in GNOME, some media players, articles. But that's not the point.

    (Almost) nothing changed in user-visible text between 1.0.6 and 1.0.7. So translation from previous version covers newest version, too.

    The problem: mozilla uses very own translation framework instead something standard. Getting translated Firefox out the door takes much more work, including getting approval from mozedevs.

    Translators weren't given any notice that they have to prepare new translation. They didn't know that they have to prepare releases. And this works takes time. Time, in which non-english users are exposed, because there is no their language version available to download.

    And I've seen reports that changing language version could trash profile.

    Those aren't "extra" users. Majority of world do not use have english as they primary language. I bet there are more non-english users.

  20. No translated version on Firefox 1.0.7 Released · · Score: 5, Insightful

    And yet again, users of localised build were left in the cold.
    Think about your grandpa, who doesn't know english. He can't use non-translated build and is left with vulnerable, older version.
    Good work, Firefox developers!

    Do anyone have a link to OSCON videos? I'm specially interested in Miguel de Icaza's keynote.

  25. Re:Well... on AMD and Intel Notebooks Head to Head · · Score: 1

    I'm going to buy some notebook at the end of the summer. While I generally prefer to buy AMD (they are more open when it comes to working with community and providing documentation), the 5h 51 minutes work time of Acer mentioned in article is tempting as hell.
