I discussed that on a user forum, but really didn't have the time to file a bug-report. Had several errors/detection failures in boot-sequence, X didn't start, machine froze. I've used the same CD for VMWare boots several times, so it should not be a defective CD.
The Thinkpad should have fairly standard hardware, was a bit strange to see it crash that ugly as I never had any problems with any of the Ubuntu LiveCDs.
So, the writer suggests we should rather be using 1.66GHz G4 Powerbooks with 166MHz Buses until end of 2007 or so??? What are you smoking? Apple had to switch, the creative pros were yelling for more power and have been unsatisfied for years!
The switch ensures one thing: in the coming years the standard beige boxes will definitely not have more power than apples hardware. Apple won't have more power too. But that's no drama. Apple will be more creative, better looking and as powerful as the windows-world.
That should be enough to be a fairly profitable company!
Go and include a CSS id or class with every single component in the slashdot template like it's done with http://www.csszengarden.com/ and let the users decide:-)
I'm absolutely enjoying slashdot like it is today, like it has been the last years. It's one of the few constants in the quickly evolving world of the internet.
Slashdot was my first geek newssite I enjoyed reading on a daily basis, it was the only credible and reachable newssource on 9/11.
Ok, yes in fact they do... somehow. They credit the c't magazine in their first sentence for the report. Shouldn't the editor also credit heise (c't) for that?
Or will we see some RSS-IT-news channel being credited for everything interesting in the near future?
of course we do have a website, but the plain WWW is by far too generic, promoting yourself, your software is an extremely time-consuming job. We've got a very specific purpose here, small development team looking for software distribution partner.
There's probably 500.000 ISVs out there, of which only 0.01% might be interested in selling our stuff. Finding these 5 companies via a regular webpage is nearly impossible.
That's why specific platforms for e-procurement, quake 3 discussion forums, pr0n lovers exist. And we're looking for such a platform - be it internet based, or a trade-fair, whatever, that makes it easier to find the right partner.
Filtering and getting in contact with 500.000 ISVs might be a good Plan B but what is Plan A?
"Der Spiegel" is Germany's most influcencial political magazine, their online presence definitely does not count as a geek-oriented webpage and had 276 million page impressions in April '05, Firefox had 30% percent market share.
So... dear Linux community what do YOU want?

Would you like to open your beloved OperatingSystem to the mainstream, would you want to see it become a real alternative to Windows, with commercial and proprietary applications?
Then put your comments ("they rather release the source, k3b is a lot better, I want to compile this shit under gentoo") where the sun doesn't shine. Mainstream and real competetion equals to commercial stuff (and the author of this message thinks this is GOOD).
Or do you prefer to stay geekie? Sugar-coke, kernel-hacks, geek-elitism, no sunlight, no showers, spots (and clearasil), jokes about years old bsd-girl-daemon-pics? Then let them know it (and greet the openbsd community in that case).
we've been waiting for their Palm OS Phones SGH-i500, i530 and whatever they were called, anounced afaik at CeBit April 2003, then delayed and delayed, and delayed, cancelled??? I don't know.
Dear Samsung, somehow you managed to make me wait for for the SGH-i530 and now I'm completely disappointed:-)
We need REAL competition in many aspects of modern IT, BUT face-it many relevant markets are pre-dominated by Microsoft.
The first step of nearly every major player would be to weaken MS in that specific area. What's MS cashcow? Definitely not services. It's Operating Systems and Office revenues.
Why that? Nearly everyone these days (say: every home user) knows how to deal with MS Office on a Windows machine.
If you weaken that fact, your weakening every aspect of MS.
How?
Set up a fund. Let the big players invest, just a bit and bring ALL those great OSS developers into one central project. Improve Linux and OpenOffice, establish a solid gaming API (or improve OpenGL), get around the distri-wars, establish a SOLID competition to MS Office/Windows. Listen to enterprise customers, talk with hardware manufacturers. Bring up an alternative!
Linux needs to take the next step. Employing some hundred of the best OSS developers should be easy for the big players, the costs would be neglectable.
Google could lead that achievement. They could change everything.
Get them as fast out of the public as you can, but DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT simply put them in jail without any kind of therapy (as most countries - especially western "developed" countries do).
Without any kind of therapy you're just producing timebombs that are gonna blow of when someone decides to kick them out of jail (someday).
Everyone knows that these are ill people (the simple disgust most readers here would develop by reading what child molesters do should prove that).
And DO NOT let them out too early.
Any YES the death penalty is no option. It's simply archaic and in-humane.
Especially the menubar is a lot too complicated/bloated for net-beginners (a.k.a. grandparents).
Please add an option to switch between beginners and frequent users mode (beginners should only be offered a stripped down version of the menubar, the configuration options, etc.)
I have not tested Vector yet, but my experiences with KDE 3.3 on Gentoo and SuSE on my Homebox (a PIII-866 with 384MB) haven't been too well.
It looks nice, offers plenty of features. But EVEN if you turn off all eyecandy, care for running kde services (plug-ins, snap-ins whatever) 3.3 still feels sluggish.
I just don't want to test that on a P1-166 with 128MB RAM, should feel like running OSX on PearPC on a Centris.
Go figure for yourself if that's safe(enough) for your. Generally -at least here in Germany- the cars are considered safe, but we don't have that many 5000lbs SUVs to crash against either...

Hi,
how do you "simulate" your second mouse button with a MacBook (without external mouse) on a Windows XP machine?
bye!
SAP has posted very good results lately, has done a good job with natural growth.
& q=l&c=orcl
Market Cap is nearly the same, but SAP is quickly increasing.
SAP == solid growth whereas ORCL == merger chaos

What's so bad about people like us?????
Well... at least now it is: http://kde.mirror.fr/announcements/visualguide-3.5 .php
Like RedHat with Fedora, Novell looks for Community backup with their OpenSuse.org project.
Their best option will be a profitable enterprise-linux distribution with _zero_ community backup.
They're making the life of all those shuttleworths' out there extremely easy.
Not good.
Just imagine that
Perhaps his exec forced him to do that?

Former JASC WebDraw, two-way-tool (source and graphic views on SVG).
Just realized that, as it's not on their webpage anymore. Are they nuts???
Webdraw was GOOD.
Guys like him are needed in such a sitation :-)
Hooray, Ubuntu on the moon!

No Samsung in my shopping cart. Never ever.
... when politicians who might not even know how to turn on a PC comment on IT security?
This is just blatant self-PR from a guy that noone really cares about anymore...

At least here in Germany the situation IS as described above. Linux equals to SuSE here.
People are talking about stuff like "Linux 9.1 Professional" when they just think about SuSE.
Here's the crash test results for MCC Smarts.
Go figure for yourself if that's safe(enough) for your. Generally -at least here in Germany- the cars are considered safe, but we don't have that many 5000lbs SUVs to crash against either...
