textboxes that lose focus so you have to click something else and click back again - pretty annoying
I changed jobs and waved bye bye
but plenty of people I know who professionally use Photoshop would never get along with the Gimp.
The single feature of photoshop that I miss the most is the mouse pointer changing to the size of the brush. Some of the mouse cursors in Gimp obscure what you're trying to paint on. I've not had the time to dig behind the Gimp scenes and see if there is anything I can do. Luckily for me I write code these days instead of pixel monkeying.
People interested in backup approaches might be interested in plan9's upcoming backup system Venti :
From: Sean Quinlan To: 9fans Mailing list
For those of you interested in the direction we are heading
with respect to plan 9's file system, you might want to
checkout our paper on Venti that will appear in the
USENIX fast conference.
http://www.cs.bell-labs.com/~seanq/pub.html#venti
Venti is a block level storage server that replaces the optical
juke box for a plan 9 file system. Some of the benefits include:
coalescing of duplicate blocks
compression
no block fragmentation
Also, we have switched from optical to magnetic disks as the storage
technology. I know many of you already use magnetic disks to
"fake" a worm, but for those of us using a optical juke box,
the performance improvement is rather substantial!!
they say they switched to a qmail on
Linux that handled all the load they had coming at them with ease, and
they are pretty happy with it and think the government should prefer
open source over commercial software for the adminitration.

using MS stuff as a constant treadmill of change. Look back and see how much the paradigm has changed since IIs got properly started (IIS3 on nt4 I reckon). In that time the model for delivering content has changed wih such diversity and speed. In the MS world you're not allowed to stand still. Bugfixes and upgrades to new methods come rolled into one.
stuff like the MTS appear out of nowehere
Management Console came along and totally changed the GUI
J++ is the big thing for a few months
Com and then DCOM and then comes the CLI and.NET
Rapid change is exhausting and expensive and often uneccessary. The Unix world can still use the same CGI scripts they wrote ten years ago!
And if you want something quick and simple you can make a web server out of a few shell scripts.
GUI computers with binary config files are retarded
If someone asked you how many Virtual Domains you were running at that time how would you count them?
MS don't earn the reputation out of spite, it's from experience

or use micorosft telnet
end then when you get there realise that there aren't any text editors installed you can use so it's
copy con > file.txt
and hoping you don't typo!
And there you are sat at your friends house and you've got to install software just get in which you've got to convinve him to do
nope, gimme a computer I can control with a 9600baud gsm phone on a train or out skiing
that'll be that there unix stuff
oh and while you're there back your web server up without stopping the service
including the server side active X controls
oh, darn, you can't, you've got to reboot to unload them from memory so the kernel will unlock their disk image. How long does it take to come back up? 5 maybe 10 minutes, 20 even for a well used Exchange Server. oops forgot to set that service auto start, doh now it says something's changed and i need to reboot again.

Proper spelling and good grammar are the things that matter when they are lacking. Being accomplished ate grammar and spelling will not make one more persuasive, however the inability to comprehend the difference between "its" and "it's" or "lose" and "loose" will ensure many people (especially influential people) will not give one the time of day.

it's worth $200 to cease experiencing GTK on Windows
mail me a URL when you've done it and I'll go wow cool man and, er, that's it.
there's also the (ridiculous probably) that if you are wearing one exoskeleton you can control multiple skeletons
When the Brisish Troops marched across the Falkland Islands imagine if they had been all in exoskeletons, in triplicate. Quite a sight.
But then throw an EMP mine and they're all stuck still!

In the absence of proof it's not for me to offer conjecture.
Now Napster is to go pay it's in their interests for Guntella to be denigrated.
I thought it was interesting, therefore, that someone chose for these stories to appear almost next to each other on the front page.
tbh. it's probably just a bit of associative submission queue scanning.
.
you might notice no criticism in my contribution
in fact I didn't claim anything or even make any suggestion of improprietry or otherwise
I simply observed a phenomena
the editor said it in his editorial part.
and on the same day someone from Napster says not Pay Gnutella won't scale

last time I looked I was one
so now the poor mice will be diseccted while alive
animals are concious dammit
they are not an IT
I hope whoever is "inventing" this gets plenty of pain

the govt. will require indemnity from software so the OS Vendor will push for signed software ONLY and slip DRM into the bargain.
Just look at plenty of legislation, looked good when it went onto the books
looked bad when it actually got enforced
your treetops so tall

FreeBSD has it all
now maybe the FreeBSDMall will send me the Right T-Shirt in the Right Size!!

:) pld
there aren't any text editors installed
try reading what I said
is this wrong nowadays then :
the kernel locks the disk image of a DLL when it's loaded into memory and the only way to unload it is reboot
to test it, try and rename one of the ActiveX controls you've written and used in a VB script page.
Used to drive me mad
blimey,
it's like being at school again
and you've used windows Edit over windows telnet then?
and edlin, please come one that's a line editor not a text editor
bitter, as expected
maybe Ms would get a tad more respect.

would it take you longer than typing this :

I can't wait until I can't watch all that crap
I'm not sure my life would end should I not be able to see AOLTW content.
It might actually enable people to turn producer than consumer and then they might remember that creativity is more fun than being a passive observer.
Actually, I think it's happening already. The real internet apps are email, chatrooms & weblogs, places where people contribute.
The advertising crowd have had a rude awakening to the fact that Content is not King
but don't take my word for it
