  1. anyone know if vx30 is also crap??? on CherryOS Not All It's Cracked Up To Be · · Score: 1

    From what i read, everything reated to this albanian guy and kartes is hoax or infringed code. what about this vx30?!?!? anyone recognize it is their code or from a familiar project on probably sf.net? i am curious...

  2. For my trip in Beijing and China on Advice On Notebook Backpacks? · · Score: 1

    I used a normal Samsonite Atom III bag... it is comfortable to take with you, a lot of space and light. a backpack is still very vulnerable and i wouldn't advice to use it on a busy airport!

    i used it for a period of at least two months. most of the time i had my laptop in there: a sony tr1 (slimline), with a dv camera, a camerastand, dsc camera, some batteries and a lot of memorysticks. and still could put the chargers in there with a coat. and if really needed, you coudl also put it in a case as protection if you take the plane (which i did on my way back [in an airporter]). or else, fold it to put it into your luggage if you really dont need to carry it around all the time.

    samsonite is a brand which you could also easily buy overseas and... beware, in some countries it is even more expensive as it is considered a luxury item.

  3. JSP = Java; Re:java!=javascript on Amazon's A9.com Search Engine Goes Live · · Score: 4, Informative

    But the page IS made on Java Server Pages/Servlets. So the reference to Java is correct. That it also uses Javascript is very normal... (Still, Sun and Netscape made the first implementation of Javascript together (First Netscape named it LiveScript). Javascript would 'supplement' Java applets. Javascript looks even a little similar to Java itself. Netscape even had a project to write Java dynamically in the form of Javascript: LiveConnect)

  4. Blender is getting mature on Blender Adds Raytracing · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Hopefully they add even more usable features to it, like a decent shader... and a better user interface. I still prefer Maya for my overall work, but if Blender is evolving in this same pace. It is perhaps someday possible to switch to a cheaper solution

    ICQ has a similar feature, which exists longer then 1996, real time chat. you could see what the other was typing...

  7. ORDBMS and LDAP? on Prevayler Quietly Reaches 2.0 Alpha, Bye RDBMS? · · Score: 1

    Why not use the in between solution, like ORDBMS. PostgreSQL has a very fine implementation if this.

    eg. A Person { } and a User { extends Person}.

    I just started using Directories again and I don't know that much about it's internals. Isn't OpenLDAP based on the BerkeleyDB libs and isn't LDAP somewhat object-oriented?

    drawback for LDAP is that write calls are not very fast. A directory is better for few writes and many reads).

  10. Amiga aliasing on Worst Linux Annoyances? · · Score: 1

    The Amiga way wasn't really that good either, since if you had renamed the disk in the meantime. the system couldn't figure that out anymore (you had to alias the disk, handy feature). and what if the disk was called as the device name, say DF0: ??? then you had to insert it into that drive, and remove the disk that was already in that drive (or else cancel the request).

    we rather fix the problem you claim there is for ourself... SO SHOW US THE PROBLEM AND WE WILL FIX IT...

    until you show any prove about your claims, we are not willing to pat you... perhaps we don't even make any use of the code by having recompiled a linux kernel...

  12. what if... on SCO Targets US Government, TiVo · · Score: 1

    i recompiled my kernel... perhaps it will not even include any part of their 'claimed' code...

    until they show us anything... no payments...

    but what the heck, if they show us... the problem might disappear within a day or two... ;oP... again, no payments...

    so, what is it they are after???

  13. Re:Sony Notebook?? on Sony's New Vaio PCG-TR1A: 12" Powerbook Killer? · · Score: 1

    Yes... and it was even easier to make it dualboot to solaris...

    i have a SR1K, the former version of the TR series... the TR looks more like a SR then the C1 (only for the camera that is).

    It's just laptop based on a standard architecture, so i don't see any problem... but perhaps you meant other in a much wider scope (OS X?) ;oP

  14. Standardize, please... on TransGaming Ports 3 Kohan Titles to Linux · · Score: 1

    Just like with mozilla. I'm sick of having several installations of a similar application om my harddisk:

    * Wine, Crossover Plugin, Crossover Office, WineX.
    * Mozilla, Netscape, Galeon, Konqueror, OEone Homebase/Desktop.

    ARGH! Standardize these so I only have to install the mozilla libs and/or wine libs!

    Don't tell me: Kohan has it's own WineX executable ?!?

    No Loki was out of business. They created native ports. While transgaming uses the 'emulation' approach using wine. Their implementation is called WineX. (emulates DirectX functions and has copy protection verifiers)

    A RIPOFF OF GNUCLEUS!!!

    i really hate texts like: similar interface like morpheus... why?

    MORPHEUS IS A RIPOFF OF GNUCLEUS...

    conclusion:

    NEONAPSTER = MORPHEUS == Gnucleus...

    Gnucleus is a rather good gnutella client... not that stable, but it works... if you use windows, visit their website. and all linux/unix users, use mutella :oP...

    i guess NEO stands for NEON@ZI!...

    and yes, i also noticed it... NEOAUDIO is a ripoff of CDex... never ever heard of before...

  17. Flip the Floppy on Death to the 3.5" Floppy? · · Score: 1

    Floppies are excellent for:

    school: they fit in your bag or pocket

    emergency: you can boot a computer with it and use a uLinux distro to recover files from almost every filesystem

    school: you can take documents with you, since email doesn't always work the way it should

    amiga: can't think of any other way to play my old games... not every game is hd installable

    yamaha: my yamaha sequencer and sampler use floppies for the midi and sample files... a scsi harddrive is handy, but the interface is way TOO expensive!

    summer: handy for your cola :oP)

    etc.

    trust me, i could name more reasons...
