Personaly, I don't really care if there are updates on small window managers. They are most of the time build for fun and don't get to such a big group of people, unlike Windowmaker, KDE and Gnome. Out of those three I think KDE has the biggest future, since the Nostradamus in me predicted the fall of evil (M$) within a decade (more like with the spreading of wintendo XP) and more people will have to turn to better and more stable platforms. Although I use Window Maker, I think KDE is easier to use if you just switched from wintendo to linux. Also, keep in mind that KDE en Ximian Gnome have a bigger group of people working on them than a wm like XFCE (a very very nice wm for people that want a CDE like look on their linux).
But I understand when you say you miss the times of compiling and installing new upgrades of window managers... I miss them too;)
So what is the price for one m^3? I always wanted my own spot in space. You know... to spend my old days. I'm going the full monty with this:) I want my cubic meter of emptyness!
Isn't it so that backdoors in encryption programs will just make the terrorists or the people that are wanted in the U.S., use other encryption software? I can understand that backdoors will be a measure that Bush will take (although I don't agree with it). And is this going to influence programs like GPG, an Open Source project? If it is, Open Source will be under heavy attack and so is the US-government going to be.
Well at least enough stuff happened the last couple of months to influence the Matrix...
I just hope it doesn't get infected by Nimda, that would ruin all my fantasies. Go figure: the Matrix on IIS? That would not be SF anymore, but screaming horror!
I'm wondering when the post offices are going to put spam on their stamps to gain some extra money.
That way you can get a letter from the tax department with the stamp saying "Wanna make $100 fast?" or "Become rich in no time".;)
This is geat news, but scientists also dicovered something else. In the years when the plague was still making thousands die in Europe, some people develloped an immunity, based on their genes. Call it a mutation.
Now the chances are VERY big that this same immunity is causing some people that are HIV possitive never to get AIDS.
Now we can only hope that the two discoveries can work together in ending both AIDS and the plague.
Of all that, cloning is the only thing that materialized so far.
I sure hope that the cold fusion part is going to be more stable. If you know only 5 out of 100 cloning test is a success, that is, the animal will be born but could still die in the days, months, years after being born.
It sure brings back memories. I think those were the romantic days... No cable modem, no spam, no people asking stupid computer question all the time (live spammer those are, a pest). And far away from people having trouble configuring stuff like outlook...
Damn I miss those times.
Studying is expencive and I hope these adds will lower the fees somehow. In.be this we don't really need this because the government pays most off it and if your parent don't make enough money you'll get in for about 30% of the real deal. Anyway, I just hope they don't go spamming as a next step;)
First of all, the two codes look familiar one to another, no doubt 'bout that. So I guess it's up to the Redhad guys that hacked that part of the kernel to add the copyright and maybe make some public apologies. I guess that is the least they can do.
Second thing is that déja vu's are very dangerous... It means that something has been changed inside the Matrix. We have to check if backdoors have been made in the kernel in that glimpse of a fragment of that second Søren Schmidt saw the theft.;)
This would be the first international political party of this magnitude as far as I know. And if it just about IT topics, you can count me in. Just make sure there aren't any non-IT topics, there are too many different kind of political colors reading Slashdot, the party would fall apart in no time.
Just got a phonecall from Siemens SBS in Brussels. Everybody stopped working an hour ago. All PC's have been infected and no more work can be done now! If this continues we are looking at a lot of people going on a paid holiday:)
KDE fscking up systems
on
KDE 2.2.1 Up
·
· Score: 0, Flamebait
I just hope this version doesn't fsck up systems like the previous did. I know someone that had to reinstall his system because KDE fscked up glibc.
Well, I guess kinds were taught to program with flowergames in the 60's, the "stoned peace" age. So it's kind of logical that they learn it with violence now, we are of cource in the "I'm on speed and very aggressive" age;)

I always thought it was part of being geek NOT to be interested in sports!? ;)
Please tell me I'm right... otherwise I'll have to fake!
So what is the price for one m^3? :)

This is nice stuff, but I'm just waiting for that computerized brain stimulator...

I wander who is going to be the One this time? ;)
The day that MS is going to spam my cellphone, I'm going to headbang my keys I think.

I'm going to start on building my own rocket... you know what they say, start small: with this. ;)
This is an update of above. Here are some links:
Black Plague, AIDS immunity linked
Scientists Discover Similarity in HIV and Black Death

"God help all the MS boxes ... again." and suddenly a song pops into my head... "What if God was one of us..." ;)
Let's make some profit out of Nimda :)
:"Suicidal" with a kind of Nimda showing.
:)))
Like T-shirts...
"I've been attacked by Nimda and all I got whas this T-shirt"
"Chicks dig Nimda"
"(front:)IIS (back:) you are dumb"
Or posters...
"Internet map of Nimda infected domains"
New 'Inc DeMotivators' poster
We should inform Thinkgeek of this nifty plan
