  1. Re:0.24% on OS X Vs. Linux On The Desktop · · Score: 1

    I would have to say that it is easier to write the GUI for an OS X application since it doesn't involve writing any code.

    GTK+ User interface builder

    Use it all the time. Pure painting.

  3. Re:Hotmail included? on Crazy Stats on Spam · · Score: 3, Informative

    We run small webmail in sweden. 80000 registred users. We get over 100 spam/min which we catch on the connect. 100 spam/min which we catch before it is even sended to us and the rest get through. Don't really know how many that is but it's many.

    We use only the rbl lists right now. Filters take CPU/mem and our E450 2*250mhz 1gb is running at 80% now.

    It's an ongoing fight to catch those spamers. It seems to be getting worse at christmas too.

    Most spam are "guessing spam" where the spammers are just guessing username@ourdomain.

    Oh yeah, I'd LOVE to see a command line only Photoshop.

    Then you should try imagemagick. Rocks your head off for ceratain tasks. Like converting beetween 100 different fileformats or adding logos to images. Far more easy than photoshop when dealing with lots of pictures.

  11. Bussiness model is ok. on New Transgaming WineX Release · · Score: 2, Insightful
    What is so wrong with their bussiness model. They seem to be succeeding very well with their stated goal. To bring games to Linux. Yes, we would like native ports rather than this but it's taking too long time for the companies to release Linux versions if at all. This is the second best option.


    you lose ~user/.config but thats not very important for me or most of the gamers. You also get a speed decrease which is not good but Transgaming seem to be working very well on the issues. Wolfenstein (altough OpenGL) shows 30% decrease from win version, not to shabby. DiabloII is also very playable in D3D.


    Transgaming has also stated that when they got 20000 subscribers they will bring back the code to the main wine tree. Don't think that counts for SecoRom and SafeDisc though.


    The best thing is that I can go out to any computer or toy store and buy a game that works with Linux, the native ports are quite hard to find in sweden.


    I applied for a VISA today just for this service. They are well worth the money.

  14. Re:Or .NET on Portable Coding and Cross-Platform Libraries? · · Score: 1

    .NET may never be seen on unix at all, to early to speculate on that. It's also not mature/tested enough to run this kind of software. Give it five years and come back then.

    I would have seriously considered java on this one. Altough building around QT (which isn't just a widget set) is also a worth some investigation.

  20. Re:Just imagine where we would be now on Ten Years of Apple PowerBooks · · Score: 1

    Would Ferrari do better if they released the exact building specs of their cars?


    Cars are very alike. They drive on the same road. Sure there are minor differences beetween them but cars as a whole is still an open business. All the PC hardware vendors today have patents and implements functions in different ways but the roads, the PCI/AGP/PS2/USB connectors are allways the same.


    Very much like the car industry.


    Of course apple today isn't such closed as it used to be. You can by pretty much the same stuff for PC & Mac and they both work. But apple still don't want to take the final step and open up for the clones which still makes it a closed platform. It's there business, they can do what they want with it.

    Good or bad with custom kernels. It's a matter of trust. If the custom kernels work for you, use them. If they don't work, use another dist or compile your own kernel. Same should go for Mandrake.
