  1. Re:move to development non US on MS getting rid of SAMBA? · · Score: 1

    ACTIVISM IN WORLD SUMMIT???? You call it what? The violent devastation of a peaceful city, the sistematic destruction of the property of the citizens of Genova, have no excuse whatsoever. The DMCA (spit) act has got nothing to do with it. The would-be terrorists that RAPED Genova do not even know what the DMCA, or EU software patent law or DECSS are - they are just criminals.

  2. Re:Use Mandrake 8, not RedHat, for KDE on KDE 2.2 Tagged · · Score: 1

    This is exactly why we have switched to Suse from RedHat. RedHat KDE packaging is very disappointing, so we decided to switch all our 4 Linux PCs to SuSe since we have decided to use KDE as desktop. We are frankly very satisfied with Suse 7.2 and I would not go back to RH.

  3. Re:What's wrong with Red Hat? on KDE 1.94 "Kandidat" released · · Score: 1

    ...and as far as we are concerned we are sick of RH's choice of poor KDE support and we are going to change distribution on our new server, most likely it will be SUSE.

  4. ...and Linux, and NetBSD... on Intel Unveils New StrongARMs · · Score: 1

    they have all already been ported, they run on an Acorn RISC PC or a NetWinder (AFAIK), both StrongARM powered

  5. Re:That's nice, but... on Canvas 7.0 Coming To Linux! · · Score: 1

    Try Varicad http://www.varicad.com We use it often and it is quite good.

  6. Timeo Danaos... on Will Microsoft Open Windows Source Code? (No!) · · Score: 1

    As someone in Troia said, just before Greeks broke out of the horse: "timeo Danaos, et dona ferentes" which means - I fear the Greeks even when they bring presents. I think the source code to Windows (in what incarnation still remains to be seen, maybe they think to release Windows 3.0 code) is important, but the internal file format of Excel/Word/etc... would be necessary as well - that's another key pillar of MS stranglehold.

  7. Re:Hyperion by Dan Simmons on Sci Fi Literature 101? · · Score: 1

    mmmh, I wouldn't say so, I think they tie up some loose ends and finish the picture completely. Just my opinion...

  8. Re:Dan Simmon's _Hyperion_. on Sci Fi Literature 101? · · Score: 1

    I would surely second that. The Hyperion 4 books by Dan simmons are some of the best SF books that I have read - but I would not recommend them to a 13 years old girl. Wait 2,3,4 years... I'd give my daughter (now she is only 5 so I can't!) The Martian Chronicles by R.Bradbury, and also by the same author 'Fahrenheit 451'. Many Philip K.Dick novels might be very good also for a SF young reader IMHO.
