They're progressive on many issues including drugs, weapons, gays, euthanasia... A good health care and social security system... Fair courts. The country is beautiful. Tulips and cheese rule.
If I had my druthers, I'd live in Amsterdam, The Hague or Rotterdam. I have EU status, so it wouldn't be hard... Just gotta get off my ass.
Granted, I'm of German descent - but Germany has too many employment issues at the moment.
It looks kinda like this. The only difference is that the text is right below "GIMP" now and says, "VERSION 1.2" (no longer saying "Gnu Image Manipulation Program" at the bottom).
As of v1.1.31 up to 1.2.0, something broke along the way that causes serious (fatal) problems on Solaris 7 on SPARC hardware. GTK, Glib, etc. all up-to-date.

Fun stuff like that. v1.1.30 was the last known to work. With v1.1.31, SMP support broke and was quickly fixed in v1.1.32 so that it would at least compile again, but something is still wrong. Possibly something in the code re-organiation...
"Show me the binaries." I didn't see anywhere that you could get binaries - only RPMs and source code tarballs geared for Intel Linux...
Sun announced a while back it's support of GNOME via Helix. How come Sun doesn't offer binaries in native Solaris package format yet? Are they waiting for 2.0? Also, why is the Helixcode distribution for Solaris so rarely updated?
I'm not dissin' anyone here, and truth be told, I use Helixcode's distribution on Solaris every day and am very thankful for it!:)
I use the editor "joe" to this day - Borland IDE and Wordstar keystroke compatible. Best thing since sliced bread? Naw - old habits die hard.
I think WordPerfect deserves more praise than Wordstar, but you know, whatever.
Who didn't see this coming?
First, floundering to scratch out a market for themselves in the post-Corel wonder years with Linux, then realizing that they're not making any money.
My question is why didn't they ever release Corel Draw, Paint and other suite products? I beta tested some of them - progress WAS made!
Whatever. Corel has had the anti-Midas touch for years now. Time to move on folks, nothing to see here.
Umm, Bob - I hate to rain on your parade, but people weren't having problems with Solaris. They were having problems with the CPUs, specifically the 400MHz 8MB cache modules.

Death to spammers!

I did file a bug report with the GIMP crew as well...
It looks kinda like this. The only difference is that the text is right below "GIMP" now and says, "VERSION 1.2" (no longer saying "Gnu Image Manipulation Program" at the bottom).
I'm still using the file they include as "gimp_logo.ppm" but I tweak it's colors to suite my particular theme(s). :)
Otherwise, the GIMP is coming along nicely - very well done! My only gripe is a bug under Solaris that's a show-stopper.

You can download it here.
...I was talking about GNOME & Eazel. ;>
Besides, you still can't just "download Solaris"

It's been "on the drawing board" and in development since shortly after the announcement of TkApache, which was October 15th, 1998.
Hmmm, just as I was reading this earlier today in Wired.
You bastards.
Go back to buying pre-compiled Linux distros and Windows apps.
I have plenty of UNIX/POSIX apps that work fine from one platform to another...
This is a joke. Get it? Devil? BSD?
Is the SPARC chip, baby. UltraSPARC III now, IV and V on the way.
...too bad I beat them with a product called Mohawk...
Taco, you're a moron. But I digress.
These things look cool, and like someone said earlier, Japanese design aesthetics don't necessarily match our own.
I applaud Sony for breaking the mold on boring black and/or grey slabs of no consequence. I think laptops should look cooler than most do these days.
How is this any different than the Powerbook with it's whack glowing apple logo?
What would be especially trick is if that tube around the LCD was a glowing neon tube that glows a bright, healthy blueberry color!
Time to think OUTSIDE THE BOX Taco.

This was a free game while it was under development... I guess it's done now. Hmmm.
You bastards.
