It's amazing what you have achieved in such a short time!
One thing that is still missing is the possibility to configure "everything". To make it even more useful than it already is, it should be possible to configure basically "everything" from the control center. I know this is what the different distro's deliver and there is also the "little" problem that KDE also runs on FreeBSD among others and the differences between the distros. All this makes it more or less impossible (well that's what I've heard/read earlier) to create something like that.
Still the fact remains, it would be nice to have. Instead of having to use YAST in Suse and *Drake tools in Mandrake, etc. it would be nice if it was simply available from the control center - it's the same stuff I want to configure, whether I run Suse, Mandrake, FreeBSD on the box and IMHO it belongs in the KDE Control Center, not as a separate tool. It would make KDE an even more Integrated Desktop
As this seems to be up to the distro's to create such tools, I have a little idea, which probably will never be a reality and maybe it is not even possible (warning: I'm rambling now:) ):
What about creating something that works with a LSB compliant distro and is easy to tailor for each distro maker and even for *BSD, etc. to fit the way the different *nix'es is configured.
What if we found ET? - that would be the biggest discovery imho. Besides that, I think it's "stupid" to discuss what project is better - the result is way to often a flamefest:(
I run Folding@Home myself for Arstechnica (the #1 Seti and Genome team!) though, but that is a matter of personal preference.
We have a nice page with introductions to the different Distributed computing (DC) projects we are involved in right here. We "hand out" that page to new members of our "DC family". Then they can choose themselves what project they would like to support.
This is a major thing - I believe it's going to be as big as (or bigger than) Star Wars.
The book (Tolkiens trilogy, The Lord of the Rings) has been awarded as the book of the century. The previous trailers has been the most downloaded trailer ever, beating The Phantom Menace. It will, IIRC, have premiere in more than 10.000 cinemas all over the world - again, many more than The Phantom Menace.
...I'll probably buy one. But not before. Plextor makes some of the best (if not the best) CD burners in the world - I bet they will create killer DVD+RW drives too.
I use sneakemail (http://sneakemail.com) to create disposable email addresses.
Excellent service, easy to use and puts you back in control of your email address!
Need a working email address but don't want to hand out your real address? Create a new sneakemail address, label it and you got it.
If you get spam on that sneakemail address then you just filter it or delete the address. Furthermore you know that who has spammed you (or sold your address), since you (if you are smart) have only used that address at one particular site.
My explanation is probably not good, but take a look at their site - they have excellent howto's, etc.
As long as (which others have already said) there are more than one standard and nobody yet knows which standard will be the one that wins the race, I'm not buying.
Here is a quote from a faq:
There are six recordable versions of DVD-ROM: DVD-R for General, DVD-R for Authoring, DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, and DVD+R. All recordable drives can read DVD-ROM discs, but each uses a different type of disc for recording. DVD-R and DVD+R can record data once (sequentially only), while DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, and DVD+RW can be rewritten thousands of times. DVD-R was first available in fall 1997.
DVD-RAM followed in summer 1998. DVD-RW came out in Japan in December 1999, but won't be available
elsewhere until mid or late 2001. DVD+RW will be available in late 2001 or early
2002. DVD+R will be available in mid 2002.
From what I have read in the faq, CD+RW looks to be the kind of drive you should buy (this HP drive is such a drive).
Smart Tags aren't spam. Spam (by definition) is unsolicited by the user. Smart Tags are SPECIFICALLY ENABLED by the user.
I don't care whether they are enabled or disabled by default! That doesn't matter at all! Smart tags puts links on my website, links that I haven't put there myself! The links are a part of the content and I would like to be the one that controls that!
I know smart tags aren't spam, but I want spam about as much as I want the current implementation of smart tags!
Smart tags could be a cool feature, if it were implemented "correctly"!
The main thing that makes me mad and say that this is *a really evil thing* is that this is opt-out, not opt-in for the webdeveloper! I, the editor and owner of a website, has to add a meta tag to my website to keep Microsoft from changing it!
If I want Microsoft to put smart tags om my website, I'll take the time to do add a meta tag to my website that allows it, but why do I have to spend any time simply to keep Microsoft away from my website?
Ask yourself, if you would think *spam* should be opt-in or opt-out? Thought so!

Yearh, it does for me too now - it must be an error in Mozilla. I was using the -turbo switch. I've stopped using that again and since I haven't experienced that problem. Greetings Pointwood

Sadly, it has already spread to Europe - we ARE fighting but there are already thousands of software patents in Europe :(
AFAIK, theKompany has started using Qt3 a while ago which should mean that their apps should be available on *nix, Win and Mac.

In folding@home, yes - in genome@home, no. You may as well join the winning team now instead of later ;)
If you like to do something different, you can find a nice overview of a few different projects here.
Further questions can be asked in our forum.

But you are wrong - they will not have an American accent.
Just one comment - it is actually available for download - in several versions/sizes.
This is a major thing - I believe it's going to be as big as (or bigger than) Star Wars.
The book (Tolkiens trilogy, The Lord of the Rings) has been awarded as the book of the century. The previous trailers has been the most downloaded trailer ever, beating The Phantom Menace. It will, IIRC, have premiere in more than 10.000 cinemas all over the world - again, many more than The Phantom Menace.
For more info - hit the fansite TheOneRing.net.
If you are in search for more information - I highly recommend TheOneRing.net. It's a really cool site, updated very often.
you can't get beers in space, I will refuse to leave earth! :p
Which version of Tomcat are you comparing JRun with?
Yes configuration of earlier versions of Tomcat is horrible, but from what others have written here, Tomcat 4 is quite a different beast.
And you are posting as an AC and can therefore be considered as an expert?
As long as you are posting as AC, I really can't take your comment serious.
Bruce Schneier comments on this and also includes good quotes from others in his latest Crypto-Gram newsletter, which can be found here.
AFAIK the KOffice, OpenOffice and Abiword developers are already working together on filters and such stuff.

Think again! We are fighting!

I would recommend supporting the Folding@Home or Genome@Home project.
