  4. Re:Problems with hi-res monitors on Super LCD Screens: 200 PPI · · Score: 1

    irix seems to do this already, all of icos are in vector format and can be scaled, dynamicly, with a little roller bar on the side of all the windows.

  5. Re:yay woz! on Interview: Steve Wozniak Unbound · · Score: 1

    um woz has about zilch to do with apple these days. I don't think his opinion has anything to do with apple strategies anymore.

  7. gizmo on Bruce Sterling's Manifesto for January 3, 2000 · · Score: 1

    "A gizmo is flimsy, cheap, colorful, friendly, intriguing, easily disposable, and unlikely to harm the user. The gizmos purpose is not to efficiently perform some function or effectively provide some service. A gizmo exists to snag the users attention, and to engage the user in a vast unfolding nexus of interlinked experience."

    Sounds like some drugs i've heard tell of.

  8. Re:Server? on Easy MP3 Distribution · · Score: 1

    Open source server is more important I would think. I don't care if it doesn't keep a log. IP information must be in that database somewhere, at least while I'm connected. I only want to share with people I trust.

  9. Server? on Easy MP3 Distribution · · Score: 1

    This won't be cool until I can run my own server. Puleeze when the feds knock down napsters door and snags his logs noone is safe.

    We need an open source server and client pair. Or else it's useless.

    Isn't this just hotline with a built in mp3 player?

  11. Re:A browser with cookie filtering capabilities on Amazon.com Receives Patent for 1-Click Shopping · · Score: 1

    Im really freaking sick of people who don't understand and don't bother to know the facts about cookies. It's really infuriating. http://home.netscape.com/newsref/std/cookie_spec.h tml to quote: "When searching the cookie list for valid cookies, a comparison of the domain attributes of the cookie is made with the Internet domain name of the host from which the URL will be fetched. If there is a tail match, then the cookie will go through path matching to see if it should be sent. "Tail matching" means that domain attribute is matched against the tail of the fully qualified domain name of the host. A domain attribute of "acme.com" would match host names "anvil.acme.com" as well as "shipping.crate.acme.com". " Cookies are only sent to the server if they are in the same domain. I also used to have a refrence or maybe it was just some code that showed that cookies could only be set to have a maximum of 1 year life expectancy, but i might just be smoking crack there. b

  12. 4dWM on SGI releases "Jessie" to the Open Source · · Score: 2

    Now if they would just release the source code for their window manager, that would make me happy.

    I keep an old indigo(irix 5.3) on my desk and find that I use it mostly for an xterm and management station.

    It's unfortunate that 2600 hasn't run an vaugly interesting, or even relevant article, in years.

  17. Re:Oh, it's not a monitor on Wafer-Thin Display Unit · · Score: 1

    From what i've gathered it's monochrome, depending on its refresh rate i'm wondering if it couldnt be rigged up to the linux console.

  20. Carmack FUD Concrete Examples on Q3T on Mac First · · Score: 1
    The point which almost everyone misses about memory protection for MacOS 8.x is that it would throw out backwards compatibility completely

    Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't apple do just that when they went from a 800x0 architecture to the PPC?

  21. The Enemy of My Enemy is My Friend on Lucy Linux, Dressed to Kill · · Score: 1

    "Have you noticed that one and only one software maker consitantly spreads FUD, lies and misinformation about the competetion?"

    No I haven't, not to defend Microsoft too much, but maybe you haven't been listening to Apple talk about MS latly, or for that matter the Linux community in general talking about MS or Apple.



  22. Comic Explorer applet on Linux on Dilbert · · Score: 1

    No it's called "optimized" or "scalable" content it's intel's push to make the "web more fun with a pentium 3 processor". It's a marketing gimick pure and simple, they are trying to convince you to buy yet another processor to keep you on the nice 18 month cycle they have you on.

  23. Rouge Squadron on Segfault and User Friendly threatened · · Score: 1
