  1. Re:Looks good but on Sony Ericsson P800 Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Yes it do.

    Specifications

  2. Re:kde on Corporate KDE · · Score: 2, Informative

    That name is just the project name, the server is called Kolab and the client has been named Kontact. Unless I've misunderstood something :)


    Kontact is KDE's Evolution. Check the Kontact site which have more info, including screenshots.


  3. The Sony Ericsson P800 is close on Lust After The Sony Clie NZ90 · · Score: 2, Informative

    You should take a look at that - nearly the only negative thing about is of course that it uses memorystick :(

    It was mentioned here a few days ago I think, but you can see a good (p)review here: http://mobile.burn.com/review.jsp?Id=141

  4. I want self cleaning windows instead. on Multimedia Windowpanes · · Score: 1

    And they do exist: http://www.pilkington.com/pilkington/International +Products/Activ/Activ+Banner.htm

    Not having to clean the windows would be very nice IMHO :)

  5. Re:Replace them? on Laser-Scanning U.S. Landmarks · · Score: 2

    Just adding to what others have already said.

    The towers where build with a central "kernel" (sorry, english is not my primary language) with all the elevators and such, next there where a pretty large open space around the "kernel" and around that a "frame". When the planes hit the tower, they essentially cut the central "kernel" and suddenly only part of the outer frame where left to keep the tower standing.

    That is not the complete explanation, but combine it with some of the others have said (melting steel because of the fire) and you will have most of the explanation.

  6. Re:This is HUGE HUGE news!!! on All schools In Denmark switching to Linux · · Score: 2

    Huh? Where is the connection between Redhat and StarOffice?

    StarOffice is made by Sun and it is available for Windows too. My guess is that the vast majority of the StarOffice installations will be on Windows, since that is what most people use here (yes, I'm from Denmark).

    This is still very cool though. It will make a lot of people familiar with StarOffice instead of MS Office.

  8. Re:why do we care? on Linux for Home Electronics · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I don't. I care about whether it is open. Do it use free, open standards, protocols, etc.? That's what is important. What I'm talking about is http://sincerechoice.org/.

  9. Re:or use a mini-itx for $100 on Build Your Own Crusoe-Powered Computer · · Score: 2

    Yes, I plan on building my own little personal server based on the mini-itx platform. Use one of the CPU's that only require passive cooling. It's got one onboard nic - Outfit it with a second nic, some memory and a quiet harddisk like the Seagate Barracuda's, put it in a tiny case and you got yourself a really nice little *silent* server. The only problem is finding a good case. If someone started selling a system like this, I would most likely buy one as soon as I got the money.

  10. Re:The viewer doesn't work perfectly with CSS on Google's new toys · · Score: 2

    Use Mozilla or some other browser which lets you adjust the font size then. Or is that not possible?

  11. The viewer doesn't work perfectly with CSS on Google's new toys · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Just look at at site that uses CSS instead of tables. The site is perfectly readable, but the design is gone.

    Dang! Of course I just realises that you in fact didn't forget it - instead, I must need new glasses :)

    Sorry about that :(

  15. Re:Let's try this instead on ECCp-109 Solved · · Score: 2

    You forgot The Distributed Folding Project. No, it's not the same as F@H ;)

  16. Re:media="handheld" on Opera Software Brings Its Browser to Mobile Phones · · Score: 2

    If the page have a correct doctype and a @media handheld stylesheet, you should use it IMHO. Of course, you could make it an option too.

  17. media="handheld" on Opera Software Brings Its Browser to Mobile Phones · · Score: 2

    I hope it also recognizes the CSS media="handheld" attribute.

  18. Comming to Europe too on New RedHat Kernel Patch Illegal to Explain to U.S. Users · · Score: 5, Informative

    In case you don't know it, we will be getting something similar to the DMCA in Europe soon :(

  19. Re:Mirrors, mirrors, mirrors on Phoenix 0.3 Is Out · · Score: 5, Insightful

    You want everyone else to use the mirrors and at the same time, you're downloading from ftp.mozilla.org? Nice ;)

  20. Re:unfortunately on SETI@Home Faces Funding Problems · · Score: 2

    You should check out Distributed Folding. Their cool client (it draws color ASCII graphics!) is available for lots of platforms.

  21. Re:There are better things to do than look for ali on SETI@Home Faces Funding Problems · · Score: 2

    Just remember to check the settings after you join. When you install the UD client, you give them the right to run whatever project they want, unless you change it in the settings!

    If you want to support a project where the privacy of the participants are taken seriously, you should take a look at Distributed Folding. This is not the same as the Folding@Home project, but it is doing something similar.

    Unlike UD, there are clients for a lot of platforms and they are going to add more soon.

    Important: Be sure to read the readme for the client! You'll regret it if you don't.

  22. Re:Question. on SETI@Home Faces Funding Problems · · Score: 4, Informative

    I'm a proud member of the Ars Technica DC community. We have a nice overview (called "The Food Court", because all our team names have some kind of relation to food :)) of the various projects we are involved with, right here: http://arsfoodcourt.dbestern.net/

    I'm trying to get all to join Ars (although you're welcome to do so ;)), join slashdot or whatever team you prefer - or join none at all. This list is pretty good IMHO and shows most of the popular projects

  23. Thanks Bruce and others! on W3C Patent Board Recommends Royalty-Free Policy · · Score: 2

    Others have probably already wrote something similar, but it doesn't hurt to be said more than once!

    Thanks a lot for all your hard work!

  24. Looks like most people knows a lot more than I do on Bero Quits Red Hat Over Treatment of KDE · · Score: 2

    It amazes me how much people seem know about the reasons he has chosen to quit his job at Redhat. The post on the mailinglist gives a little hint for *part* of the reason, but I don't believe that is the whole reason. Furthermore, he didn't explain what he meant with "crippleware" and we certainly don't know the internal discussions at Redhat.

  25. Looks cool on Mandrake 9.0 (Dolphin) Is Available [updated] · · Score: 2

    Since I last tried Mandrake (7.x I think), it looks like it has become a lot better. Especially the configuration tools looks much more well-arranged and usefriendly. I have found the previous versions confusing.
