  1. Picture and more info... on X-43 Scramjet Rollout · · Score: 2
  2. What about the "Jedi religion?" on A Host Of Star Wars Bits · · Score: 2

    In New Zealond, a bunch of fans are claiming "Jedi" as their religion on the census! If enough people do it, it must be declared as a viable religion... Food for thought, young Jedi.

  3. Too distracted? on Ximian gets new CEO · · Score: 4
    Is Ximian too distracted these days, with all these changes going on? Name change, CEO change, etc.

    It's been ages since they've released their latest warez, yet very few of them are actually available! Solaris packages haven't been updated in AGES and still have old GNOME, etc.

    Considering how much they're in the spotlight, along with GNOME - through Sun and HP... You'd think they'd be a little more diligent.

    Don't drop the ball on this, Ximian - this is MAJOR!

  4. Solaris - nice clean build! on Samba 2.2.0 Released · · Score: 2

    I compiled it last night on Solaris 7, and it was a nice, clean build. Good work, guys!

  5. GTK Themes? on QT Mozilla Port · · Score: 2

    How does one enable GTK look-and-feel with Mozilla and/or Netscape 6? I had it working and then upgraded to v6.0.1 and deleted my old ~./mozilla directory... D'ohhh!

  6. Funny how many of you maggots responded! :) on Gnome 1.4 "Tranquility" Released · · Score: 1

    Dumbasses.

  7. Correction on Gnome 1.4 "Tranquility" Released · · Score: 1
    Actually, it is an important story. It's about the single most important commercial entity in the Linux realm.

    It's certainly more important than a software announcement. That's what Freshmeat is for.

  8. Wrong download link on Gnome 1.4 "Tranquility" Released · · Score: 1
  9. You knob gobblers! on Gnome 1.4 "Tranquility" Released · · Score: 1
    Submission:

    • 2001-04-03 00:20:09 GNOME v1.4 Released! (articles,news) (rejected)

    Submitted, last night. Rejected.

    Not to mention this tasty morsel, which was also rejected. Worried that Andover.net is next?

    • 2001-04-02 19:35:28 Red Hat (RHAT) Makes cnnfn.com's "Top Ten Stocks to Avoid" (articles,news) (rejected)\

    Fascist Slapdork bastards.

  10. Issues w/Nautilus and GNOME on Eazel Tells All · · Score: 5
    Be sure to also read "GNOME 1.4 Release Candidate 1 available" over on the Gnotices site, and see all the issues that are arising because of Nautilus' inclusion in the next GNOME.

    There are a lot of issues that need to be addressed like instability, inability to compile on various platforms, bloat and other things.

    Be careful before you rush in to embrace it.

  11. What I'd Like to Know on Eazel Tells All · · Score: 3
    Is when they plan on releasing binaries for the platforms that have vowed to include GNOME in the next release of their OSes - namely Sun Solaris and HP HP/UX...

    So far, only Redhat and Debian have releases available to them.

    This is a very visible time for both Eazel and GNOME, and they need to get on the ball. Especially since these new platforms can do a lot of good to those projects.

  12. Waitaminute... on Baseball Fans Must Pay To Listen Online · · Score: 1
    This makes NO sense.
    • What if you're in a car, driving?
    • On the subway?
    • Don't have a laptop?
    • From an older generation that doesn't dig tech?
    ...These are just some examples. How can they no longer broadcast baseball games? That's just... Un-American!
  13. Imagine the fun! on Mouse Begone: Use Head Movements And IR Instead · · Score: 2

    Hang a disco ball over your cube and just beam the ring into it... Have everyone in your office yelling in no time! :)

  14. Depends on your monitor on Mouse Begone: Use Head Movements And IR Instead · · Score: 1

    With a 24" beasty on your desk, trust me - you'll be moving yer head all over the place!

  15. Ooops... on Mouse Begone: Use Head Movements And IR Instead · · Score: 5

    I sneezed and deleted my C:\WINDOWS directory!

  16. Cost? on But You Can Download It For Free, Right? · · Score: 1
    One thing they forgot to figure in is the cost of your "speedy Internet connection" that is busy for the 2-3 hours it takes to download it.

    Now, assuming a $39.95/month fee, and not including the cost of the modem... It comes to about $.17 for a three hour download.

    Tell you what. I'll give you $14, and we'll call it even. ;>

  17. Foot-and-Mouth on Foot and Mouth Virus and Outlook · · Score: 3

    Oh, sorry - I thought it said "foot IN mouth."

  18. Neighbor snooping? on Free Wireless For Fun And / Or No Profit · · Score: 1
    And people were worried about the ne'erdowells out there snooping on cable/broadband networks...

    Oh my!

  19. I think you mean... on Bundeswehr Says Microsoft Software Verboten · · Score: 1

    "Die Bundeswehr sagt das Microsoft Software verboten ist." ;>

  20. URL here... on Geographical Borders on the Web · · Score: 1

    The URL to Global Dispatch would be nice... ;>

  21. Resonate on Geographical Borders on the Web · · Score: 1

    Check out Resonate's Global Dispatch which is a WAN-based traffic management that provides consistent, reliable availability and performance across multiple sites and geographies.

  22. I Gotcher Poll Right Here on Busting Microsoft's Patent On Web-Polls? · · Score: 1
    You mean something like iVote?

    Written in Perl to work with Apache and mod_perl for high-speed, it's an image-based polling/voting system with a nice GUI and a bunch of good features.

    Microsoft can't have it, and I ain't sharing. :)

  23. Dear God! on NCR Claims Palm Infringes As "Personal Terminal" · · Score: 1


    Stop the insanity!
    I think the plummeting economy has got people all riled up with nothing better to do than to come up with, and sue over - stupid shit like this.

  24. Zeus vs. Apache, Velocigen vs. mod_perl on The Fastest Web Language On The 'Net? · · Score: 1
    Zeus beat the snot out of Apache "out of the box" already, which I kinda expected - with Apache's motto being "correct first, fast second" and all.

    I should have the Velocigen vs. mod_perl tests soon enough, which I'm kind of anxious to see. I predict a similar stomping.

    Granted, neither of these are free products, but then again - speed always comes at a price, unless you're talking about hookers. ;>

  25. Perl? on The Fastest Web Language On The 'Net? · · Score: 1

    If you're into Perl, check out Velocigen - it's like mod_perl, but a much, much better/faster design. Depends on if you want a free solution, or a commercial one and how fast you want to go. Everything Solaris will be doing a "shoot out" between Apache w/mod_perl and Zeus w/Velocigen, among others like iPlanet and Roxen shortly.
