    Does that sound like I'm quoting researched material? The "what" and the questionmark? I guess the English classes weren't quite up to par with the CS classes at that high quality education of yours.

    No, I cannot validate my figures. Yes, I just made them up. Yes, it was a fairly educated guess, but still a rough estimate. Sheesh.

  2. Best school for OO software construction? on Ask Slashdot: Comp-Sci Graduate Schools · · Score: 1

    A lot of the comments so far suggest figuring out what specific CS field one is interested in and then look for a school that's good within that field. Well, I've figured out mine: Architecturing, designing and constructing object-oriented software. Anyone have any suggestions as to what schools are good at that?

    Well. Considering the fact that, what, 70-80% of the Slashdot readers are American (?), I don't think it's a bad or biased or unfair topic. Besides which, I believe quite a few of the international slashdotters are interested in studying CS at an American college. Say what you want about America but their CS education is the best in the world. Well, hrm, at least for the rich it is. :P

  4. Re:Quick'n dirty translation on Linus To Recieve Honorary Doctorate · · Score: 2

    Bah, you beat me to it. That's what I get for staying outside in the sunny weather rather than spamming ctrl+r on Slashdot like I usually do. Btw, my English lexicon says that "promovera" = "confer a doctor's degree on". Oh the joys of academic Swedish.

    So how's mudding going? ;)

    Wow, great site. The NHF concept is really useful, hope it catches on.

    What's that in Central European again? 22.15 - 23.15?

  8. Any good mail clients for Linux on CDE vs Gnome · · Score: 1

    Procmail... there's that word again. :) I'm on a dial-up account getting mail with POP3, sending with SMTP... can procmail help me?

  9. Any good mail clients for Linux on CDE vs Gnome · · Score: 1

    Checking out the TkRat homepage right now... As for XFmail, it was kinda neat and seemed to have a lot of nice features. But it locked up on me thrice (during roughly an hours worth of testing) and I had some problems with the overall L&F. As for kmail, I read in a review somewhere (think it was Ars Technica's review of KDE) that it had some problems with leaving/deleting mails on the server and that is the one issue that it *can't* have a problem with -- I need to be able to read my mail from home/linux, home/windows, from work and from school.

    Procmail... if I've understood it correctly, it's running on the server that receives the mail? I'm using a dial-up connection, getting mail via POP3 and sending with SMTP... can procmail help me here?

    Overview. I may be scared by Pine, but I just can't see a console mail reader where I can get as good an overview of my mailboxes and incoming mail as I can in Eudora. Or am I wrong here?

  11. Any good mail clients for Linux on CDE vs Gnome · · Score: 1
    This is hopelessly OT but here goes.

    Are there any decent non-beta e-mail clients for Linux? The only reason I still run Windows NT is because Eudora is my best friend. I spend about 60% of my computer-time writing mails and I need a quality e-mail client to be able to cope with the amount of mails I get.

    What I need from a mail client:

    • Graphical interface. (No Pine!)
    • Powerful filtering capabilities
    • Stability
    • (Optional)Capability of importing Eudora mailbox-setup and filters
    I'm currently reviewing xfmail. It's good, but not quite up to Eudora's standards -- and, doh, it just locked up on me. :(

    What's everyone using?

  12. I'd pay on Slashdot Moderation:Phase 1.1.1 · · Score: 1

    Yea, I would pay for a /. e-mail address. emil@javamud.org looks nice, but emil@slashdot.org looks even better. :)

  13. I'm impressed on MP3 Dead? What, Already? · · Score: 1

    Cool and thanks for pointing that out. I've always used double-hyphen myself, but never really had any good reasoning behind it. So a double hyphen is the standard replacement for a dash? Hmm, what does a dash look like then? Don't we have a 7- or 8-bit ASCII representation for that?

  14. Hemos' dashes on MP3 Dead? What, Already? · · Score: 0

    When's someone going to point out to Hemos that putting one space before and after the dash ('xxx - xxx' instead of 'xxx-xxx') does wonders for readability?

    Maybe it's just me.
