  1. Re:Purify & Motif on Motif Released To The Open Source Community · · Score: 1

    You should suggest that as a project in the Linux Bazaar of the MotifZone (www.motifzone.net). This would indeed be a useful open source effort!

  2. Re:Some of the bigger effects I see this having... on Motif Released To The Open Source Community · · Score: 1

    Actually, there are a lot of excellent open source widget including Xbae, Xmhtml, and Xlt maintained by Rick Scott of the lesstif team. Take a look at the software page of www.motifzone.net, there are more open source widgets to choose from including a ListTree. If you prefer open source solutions like many, then there are lots to choose from without having to buy the ICS widgets.

  3. Re:7 Mirrors active off ICS site on Motif Released To The Open Source Community · · Score: 1

    The source should be available by the end of the day on these mirrors. We (ICS) had hoped that by focusing on the binaries and leaving the source to The Open Group we would be able to better handle the binary demand and the source would naturally drift towards The Open Group. Not happening, so we'll pick up the slack. BTW: The source isn't small either... its 17mb+

  4. Re:Anyone managed to dl it yet? on Motif Released To The Open Source Community · · Score: 1

    Slashdot effect... The files on the ftp server are fine. We now have 7 mirrors online. Hopefully that should help!

  5. Re:Many Toolkits.... on Motif Released To The Open Source Community · · Score: 1

    One of the goals of the MotifZone (www.motifzone.net) is to promote ongoing open source enhancements to Motif. Support for Gnome theme support for Motif applications is underway at the Zone... KDE is not far behind. And then Motif applications will only be as ugly as the rest of your applications...

  6. 7 Mirrors active off ICS site on Motif Released To The Open Source Community · · Score: 3

    Hi, ICS now has 7 mirrors up with worldwide coverage. http://www.motifzone.net/download/ You can also order a CD and avoid the crunch.

  7. Simple.. on The Laptop as a Home Theater? · · Score: 2

    Powerbook 2000, a.k.a. Pismo. Actually, its what I'm posting from. But it is perfect for what you're looking for. S-video out, software, built in DVD player, just add a 1/8th to RCA jack (real short cash at Rat Shack) and you have a portable DVD player, plus a kick ass portable to boot (and yes, it runs linux too).

  8. What's the big deal? on MP3.com's Beam-It · · Score: 1

    The big deal is now I do not have to lug my cd collection back and forth to work. I beam the collection up from home, then when I'm at work and feel like listening to any particular song(s) I may fancy at that time, I can. This is a good thing.

  9. Yikes!! on Humpday Quickies · · Score: 1

    Illegitimate Muslim Fundamentalist Uhmm...yeah. I'd *love* to hear any member of Wu-tan actually say that, or have an MTV News story, and watch Kurt Loder actually keep a strait face while name dropping that bad boy!

  10. Re:The system sucks to begin with. on Geeks, Geek Issues and Voting · · Score: 1

    Uhm..~$140,000 a year is a pretty frikkin high paying job in my book!

  11. Re:say what? on Dvorak on "Winners and Duds of the Millennium" · · Score: 1

    Hey, c'mon, Lets not forget that Steve (and Woz) created the classic arcade game, Breakout!

  12. Re:"Hands Free Poultry Inspection" on Photos From Wearable Computer Fashion Show · · Score: 1

    Oh, man...check the next page, shes got a banana hanging out of her pocket.*buh????*
    " Here, chicken, I got a nice juicy banana for you! "
    Or, yes..she *may* just be happy to see us (insert cymbol crash here)

  13. Re:So when is QuickTime 4 for Linux arriving? on Apple Posts Darwin / Open Source News · · Score: 1

    Actually, the penguin logo is a bit old. I'm not sure when the dear Tux first "hatched", but i think i remember seeing the QuickTime penguin in developers documentation for QuickTime 2.5 or 3.0, or was it their 3d library. Any Mac developers remember??

  14. "truly free"? Not quite.. on Opera Beta Released · · Score: 1

    Amaya package is now configured
    Amaya configured with libWWW
    Amaya configured with Math support
    Amaya configured with Graph support
    Motif seems not installed on this machine
    Thot and Amaya need Motif 1.2 or 2.0
    Thot and Amaya probably won't compile

    Motif isn't free (Yes, I know about Lesstif, doesn't work here)

  15. Re:Collecting E-mail adresses? For spam? on Win an AIBO · · Score: 1

    Ok, everyone.net won't use them for spam, but that does not mean that they wont *sell/rent* the address list. These "privacy policies" are specially written to cover thier asses, and to hide the fact that most email collection isn't for use by the collector, but to be sold to other spammers

  16. DVD changer on Geek Christmas Ideas · · Score: 1

    And Bill's head, on a stick, shellaced.

  17. Re:K7 on Recommended Hardware for Streaming MP3 Radio Stations? · · Score: 1

    Uhm..the QT Streaming server isn't cheap? Last I checked, it was an Open Source project, FREE to download, already ported to linux. You want cheaper than free??

  18. Martha Stuart with a beard!!! on "Fear and Flooding in Las Vegas" · · Score: 2

    Ok where to start on this *bad* piece.
    IMHO, the stupidist line wasn't the 3 paragraph rant on smoke, or the admittion of taping a conversation w/out concent, but this:
    " cDc may claim its beef is with Microsoft; however, users -- not Microsoft -- will be hurt as a result of Back Orifice."
    If I was a CIO, and the techies came to me with 2 server choices (linux, NT) and I knew that BO2K was out there, I'd definatly stay away from NT! Or if I *had* any NT boxes ( I don't, but that's not the point), I would have them removed because of this. Thus hurting MS monitarily (no outrageous "upgrade" costs)
    Also, wasn't the "ExplorZip" virus outbrake over 2 months ago?

  19. Re:iBook Colors on New PowerBook G3 & the iBook · · Score: 1

    Apple uses a smoke and purple color for its prototypes. Why they dont actually *ship* in these colors is beyond me.

  20. Re:cell phone stylings on Fractal Antennas more efficient? · · Score: 1

    They are available in Europe and Asia only, for now. The phone is made by Nokia, model 7110

  21. Actually... on Doom Causes Kid to Kill · · Score: 1

    These morons actually have a pretty good chance of comming out with some cash. See, it's usually cheaper for these big companies to just settle, rather than go through a trial. I don't know if this would be/is the case for the porn sites.


    but personally, i think they should fight it out, and counter-sue for legal costs.

    Then, after that..


    rm -rf lawyers
