Just write a plain HTML page, something that would look ok and be readable without CSS. Then add div:s and CSS.
The result is a page that separates content from layout and works well both with and without CSS. It will also be easy to replace the CSS when you need to. This is also useful when you have different style sheets for different media. Have a "print" style sheet that excludes the sidebar and uses different colours.
It is unacceptable for a person who is aware of the difference between democracy and totalitarianism to defend the "unification" of China and Taiwan.
Sure, when China is the worlds largest democracy, then it might happen in a peaceful way. But if it happens before that, it would be by force and result in oppression. To defend such use of force is unacceptable.
On a related note, does anyone know of a linux e-mail client that actually will use kerberos_v5 authentication well?
When I grew tired of Gnus I switched to Evolution because it was (and still is, AFAIK) the only graphical mailer for X with GSSAPI/Krb5 support and because it's a nice GNOME app. Works well with the Cyrus-IMAPd server.
The Mail app that comes with MacOS X also has Krb5 support.
Doesn't SSH, and public-key based authentication pretty much make the whole thing irrelevant?
No. You still need another infrastructure to get single sign on while avoiding having to passwords to remote hosts and to be able to detect MITM attacks. A PKI will get you some of that, but you'd still need to deal with storing private keys somewhere and figure out how to forward credentials.
Kerberos is good and can be used in an intuitive way in many applications. For everything else, there's nothing stopping you from also using SSH or SSL and (Kerberos) password authentication or even public-key authentication.
Why...what's the long term goal? It's not like we've improved anything on this planet.
Yes we have. Without us, this planet would be very beautiful, yes. There would be large forests, many animals and clean water. We have destroyed much of that. But we can do something no other animals can. We can think. (Yeah, I know, there are monkeys that can understand spoken english, etc. But that's not rocket science.) We can create art and music. We can make scientific progress. We can do more than just enjoy ourselves and reproduce. So what would the long term goal be? The same as always, be it in a cave in France, a palace in India, a university in the USA or a colony on Mars.
Let's assume that this planet holds the only life in the universe. This planet has maybe ten billion years left. How much time does the universe have? I suppose we don't know, but it's a beautiful place, nevertheless. Do you think that we should stay here and die, leaving the universe uninhabited until it is destroyed too? What would be the point of that?
The fact is, the Earth will be destroyed. All human life, no, all life, on Earth will be wiped out. It's just a matter of time.
It could be a bad virus that kills all mammals. Or the grey goo syndrome. Or global nuclear war. Or an ice age. Or an asteroid. Or if we're lucky and none of this happens, then in a few billion years, the Sun will expand, melt and disintegrate the Earth, and that'll be the end of it.
So, you see, we humans must (A) protect ourselves and (B) colonize other parts of the solar system or the galaxy.
Or we can just sit here and wait for doomsday and hope for a place in paradise.
When I (actually my employer) bought my IBM Thinkpad T20 they did sell it with some kind of officially supported Linux distribution. I ended up getting it with Windows 98 anyway, because at the time I wanted to dualboot. It was nice to know that some kind of Linux would run on the thing, though. I much prefer my Fedora installation nowadays, though.
- Why are you using extra virgin olive oil to heat you house? - Because it was donated to me.
Someone pays for the bandwidth. The bandwidth donor might be able to pay for something else instead if less bandwidth was used. Or the donor could donate bandwidth to some other project instead.
It's like GNOME vs. KDE. They both do more or less the same thing, but they're still different.
Sun and Eclipse will work together eventually, just like we now have freedesktop.org. Just cut the politics and "the community needs this and that" and keep doing what makes sense technology-wise.
It would be fantasic to be able to hit a button, have something read the RPM database and automagically reinstall a APT based system (leaving/home and/data and/specified intact).
As Redhat have EOL'd support for their boxed sets at the end of December,
They still support RedHat Linux 9, until the end of april I think. RHL9 is a very good Linux distribution. It's easy to use, it's pretty up-to-date, it doesn't have many bugs (but a couple of rather irritating ones though) and lots of third party packages are available.
A lot of comments seems to be about the problem of migrating. People seems to worry about protocols and applications breaking when they migrate to IPv6.
Well, you know what? You don't move to IPv6! You add IPv6. You can still keep your IPv4 connection. Then you can start adding IPv6 support to each protocol and application, one at a time. You can and will still be fully IPv4 compatible. You'll just allow yourself to use IPv6-only services and make it possible for you to set up new new IPv6-only services even though you've run out of IPv4 addresses.
The "big difference" is that instead of oppening the whole program, images and sibblings in a single window, The GIMP opens the toolboxes and images in separate windows. This allows a serious user to make an optimal use of the multiple desktops avaliable in almost all window manager for X11 out there.
Yeah, you can have one or two image windows on each desktop, and then move around the toolbox you're using between the desktops, because each GIMP only has one instance of every toolbox. (Right?)
Or start multiple instances of gimp and get confused about which toolboxs belongs to which image windows.
Or do it the Mac way: Hide the toolboxes when the document isn't active.
Sweden is bigger than Germany (though smaller than France) but with only a tenth of the population. The country is also long and narrow. This makes the defense difficult and relatively expensive. To cope with this, I think the military is trying to focus on a high-tech defence instead of many soldiers.
A NATO membership would help, I guess.
Besides, Gripen is pretty cool (and means more money for Saab and Ericsson). It will probably be the last "swedish" fighter though.

Re: I don't know how to do it and therefore it can't be done and therefore it sucks.
It can be done. Here's how:
First some good documentation.
Run:
# up2date --install (or yum install) selinux-policy-targeted-sources /etc/selinux/targeted/src/policy
# cd
# make enableaudit
Run whatever service that is currently broken because of SELinux. Then:
# audit2allow -i /var/log/messages -l
allow httpd_t cifs_t:dir search;
allow httpd_t unlabeled_t:dir { getattr search };
...which will tell you where SELinux blocked the service. (Just some sample output here.)
Then add your own rules like this:
# cat >domains/misc/local.te <<EOF
allow httpd_t unlabeled_t:dir { getattr search read };
allow httpd_t unlabeled_t:file { getattr read };
allow httpd_t unlabeled_t:lnk_file { read getattr };
allow httpd_t cifs_t:dir { getattr search read };
allow httpd_t cifs_t:file { getattr read };
allow httpd_t cifs_t:lnk_file { read getattr };
allow httpd_t default_t:lnk_file { getattr read };
EOF
# make reload
The above is again just an example.
Try again. If it doesn't work you need to allow some more stuff, which audit2allow will tell you.

Look for an old RealPlayer8. That'll work.
This problem is fixed in HelixPlayer HEAD, so I suppose eventually it'll get fixed in a RealPlayer 10 release as well.

You missed the point.

GTK (and most GNOME libs) are LGPL. As in: Permits linking with proprietary apps.
So please mod parent down.

Here's another comparison of the next-gen DVD formats. I find it rather balanced.
So, NetBSD is going politically correct? Well, the Linux Penguin is non-PC in a more subtle way. :-)
rpm -ivh http://atrpms.physik.fu-berlin.de/dist/rh9/atrpms- kickstart/atrpms-kickstart-19-1.rh9.at.i386.rpm
Or go read about apt-rpm.

"I work for SCO. I hate it. Please give me a new job."
Yeah... My sister gave me a book written by a priest. Guess I could read it just to see what I think about it, but I don't feel like it...
I also got Spin State by Chris Moriarty and Quicksilver by Neal Stephenson.
Woohooo! :-)
