On the gnome development list someone submitted a patch for GNOME that puts the menus at the top of the screen (in a menu bar applet). Though this wouldn't work with Mozilla or other non-GNOME apps.
It might be included in GNOME 2.0.

I support censoring people like you so that we may protect the children, and other people from such horrible (communist even) thoughts.
Oh, and you know something? When the clan has a march, and they get the police force out there, who do you think they anticipate is going to start violence? The people PROTESTING the rally, not those participating in it. So I think we should protect their rights against anti-clan thoughts, since nowadays they are beat up more than they do the beating.
See how absurd your line of thinking is? I knew you would.

A graphical file manager and a command line have different uses. The command line is better for selecting files that have something in common and that you can use wildcards on. A graphical file manager, however, I think is better for selecting files which have names which have nothing in common, or selecting many files which have a lot in common, and that would require a lot of tab completions).
I'm mostly a command line user, but am anticipating Nautilus.

I am using Mozilla M18 (nightly builds) and I have both a print button and a home button. You are right about SSL (https://) though. I am running FreeBSD, and can't seem to use the Linux PSM package even though I am running the linux mozilla nightly build binaries.

Without a display. A 17 inch monitor from their store costs 500 dollars. If you buy a computer and monitor, then you get a 300 dollar rebate which makes the price of the monitor good, but that still leaves you paying 1,800 for the computer.
Plus, the cube is 200 dollars more than the tower G4 wich has a floppy drive, and gigabit ethernet, but is 50 mhz slower, but has the ability to add more drives.

I use my CueCat daily. I altered the GNU barcode library to be able to print text labels above the barcodes, and then I made a small python app to generate random barcodes and then take a list of album names and print the barcodes with the labels above the random barcodes. Then I made an Gnome applet that changes your XMMS playlist depending on the barcode you can into the applet's text box (you also have to build a text file with barcode/file relationships for the applet to read.
I'm thinking about distributing it once I get the GNU barcode label code cleaned up. I blindly added code to the library without understanding how it really worked (though it probably has bugs, it does seem to work fairly well).

I have a macintosh classic that has a version of the operating system in the ROM. Just hold down a certain combination of keys on startup, and it would boot the ROM OS.
This was useful for when I had to install OS 7.5 on it, but the current OS (7.0) was eating too much memory to run the extract program for the new version.

But you could imagine someone inventing notation like (x:arg1, f:funcName, z:arg3, y:arg2) in which markers identify the roles of variables rather than their position in the sentence.
You can reorder the arguments in Python (though, the function name still comes first), and perhaps in other languages.

You should try FreeBSD then, with its ports collection. I first tried FreeBSD a couple of months ago because it was difficult getting my USB mouse working in linux, and my ATA/66 controller wasn't supported. I installed the unstable (-current) freebsd 4.0, and my hardware worked out of the box (save for the learning curve of configuring the kernel, and otherwise using a BSD system). I actually spent as much time trying to get my hardware working on a platform that I knew as I did learning a whole new one AND getting the hardware working. I can't play QIII on it or use my video capture card, but dual-booting is a small price to pay for the ports collection.
I did try Debian linux a while back, but the very thing that turned me away was the dpackage that ran during installation
He who knows not, and knows he knows not is a wise man
Ah yes... I installed FreeBSD 4.0 on a box (simple install, nothing special, no GUI, etc), it came out to be around 90 megs. But, it included a C compiler, Perl, and other goodies that MS doesn't come with that take up a fair amount of space.
I don't know how big one's modules directory is upon a fresh install of linux, but you have to take that into consideration (you don't want to have to insert the CD when you install a new piece of hardware so it can copy the module to your HD do you (although all the linux users I know compile their own kernels anyways)). Plus, which distro/version were you using... you would have to compare a linux distro from 1995 with Windows 95. Mac OS 7 fits on 6 diskettes, and one doesn't usually use everything that comes on those diskettes but it wouldn't be fair to compare this, since it was released in 1991 (I believe)

If you can download a piece of software from the internet without paying for that software, it is free. You do not take into consideration the price of your net connection any more than you consider the price of your automobile/fuel for that automobile in with the price of Windows when you go to CompUSA to buy it.
The cost of Debian is nothing, but the cost of acquiring it is not. This is purely semantics, but such an argument is necessary when an argument of semantics is presented.

I think that the idea that such problems are isolated to Americans is false. Firstly, the "common" people have always been entertained by simple things (for example: Roman public executions, vaudeville, sport). Believe me when I write that not everyone enjoyed a lovely five hour political debate with a dinner intermission. Secondly, I believe that there are enough people who are capable of more. Shows like the X-Files wouldn't have lasted so long if this weren't true.
Sure, most of the stuff played on television is crap but this is most likely true of any television network in any country. Meaning that the junk:quality ratio is probably static.
If one wants an epic tale he will almost always be disappointed in television. Movies and books are the sources for epic tales, and television is the source of "quick" entertainment (simpsons, south park, etc).

As long as there is more than one desktop available a lot of the less tech-savvy out there are going to be confused about what exactly Linux is - I've had people ask whether Red Hat or Mandrake was the better operating system
I actually consider different distributions different operating systems. I don't think of the kernel as an operating system by itself. An operating system is the system kernel, and the software that comes with it.
That's why I use FreeBSD:)

BTW, the purpose of/. is to post links to OTHER articles, not to author new articles, and check the credibility of it. Someone submitted this story, and link, and they looked at it, and decided to post it. It is not their responsibility to validate the news, that is the job of the original article authors. Now that that's cleared up, I don't know anything about apple insider, but if it is a rumor site, then/. shouldn't be posting articles from rumor sites. If apple insider is just an apple news site, then that's fine. At least they corrected the issue later on, most ''professional'' news sources tell out right lies, and skew the news w/out ever admitting they were wrong.

No, he is simply applying the substitution to this one post. You cannot assume that he also means to apply it to all uses of the word ``functional.''
