  1. Re:Should write it in Java on Suck Says Mozilla Is Dead · · Score: 2
    Like this you mean ?

  2. You think it's ugly ? on Suck Says Mozilla Is Dead · · Score: 2
    How about making it look like IE ?

  3. Re:Memory Use? on Suck Says Mozilla Is Dead · · Score: 1

    ----------------------------------

  4. Suck is dead on Suck Says Mozilla Is Dead · · Score: 1

    And I can remember when it used to be such fun to read. They seem to have run out of decent material about 2 years ago, and it's been downhill all the way.

  5. Breaking my toys on NYT On DeCSS Case · · Score: 1
    From the end of the article:"Ms. Peters has been weighing arguments by copyright holders who contend they will have no incentive to produce digital material without the assurance of such protection..."

    That's fine by me, if allowing fair use is such a problem to the studios, let them go back to releasing movies on VCR.

  6. What's the problem with Websphere on Preventing Vendors From Playing The Blame Game? · · Score: 1

    In my current job, I'm using AIX and Websphere (though not EJBs). I've not found any problems with Websphere at all, it was simply a matter of configuring it and letting it run. I was wondering what problems people had encountered with it which made it a bad choice ?

  7. Re:Suspect opening sentence on Paper: "Cybercrimes: A Practical Approach..." · · Score: 1
    Well, that's OK then. If they believe "Hackers" was accurate, then they'll be on the lookout for a self aware computer virus called Leonardo da Vinci, which asks for five million dollars.

  8. Re:It was the dawn.... on Houston, We have a Space Station! · · Score: 1
    "Americans and Foreigners..."

    Actually, Americans *are* foreigners.

    At least to 96% of the world's population.

  9. Future ISS launches ? on Houston, We have a Space Station! · · Score: 1
    In the article it mentions that there are still 100 components to go before the station is considered complete. Does anybody have a link to a launch schedule, or details about what the remaining components are ?

  10. Re:Zvezda has a SPARC, US modules have 386 on Houston, We have a Space Station! · · Score: 1

    MoonOS ?

  11. Re:GTK port? on Star Office 6.0 Source Code GPL! · · Score: 1

    Yeah, GTK swing would be sweet.

  12. Surely on Open Sourcing Closed Sourced Drivers? · · Score: 1

    Surely if your rivals are capable enough to steal your technology, then they must have the means to reverse engineer your products in different ways, other than by looking at source code to drivers. Conversly, if they need to see the source code to figure out how your devices work, then they are probably not capable of putting your technology to good use.

  13. Rebuilding Corel on Corel Claims That The Worst Is Over · · Score: 3
    I would think that right now, Corel needs all the help it could get in rebuilding its battered image. One way I could see this being done would be to completely open source WordPerfect, a la Mozilla.

    Think about it, Corel would get a lot of kudos from the open source community, they could quickly have the best word processor for Linux and other (non MS) platforms and then they could start edging back in to the Windows market.

  14. A really good radio site on Music From The Heavens - For A Fee · · Score: 1
    Check out live365

    You can choose from dozens of radio stations.

    When it prompts you to download the .pls file, download it, and view it.

    Then pass the url you see into xmms.

    Enjoy !

  15. Thank God !!! on Snapshotting the Whole Internet? · · Score: 1
    For a moment there, I thought it said *slashdotting* the whole internet...

    Mind you if we all went to the same sites, one after the other...nah never mind.

  16. Re:Wine for Windows? on How Is Wine Doing These Days? · · Score: 1
    Well, you can run Linux under windows (UMSDOS ??), so in theory you should be able to run WINE on that, and yes, then you could run WINE under Windoze.

  17. What would be really interesting to see on Game Development in Mozilla · · Score: 1
    would be a hacked version of Mozilla running from a command line using just svgalib (i.e. no X windows or WM), or even aalib (text mode graphics).

    In fact, I might even develop a version myself that runs under Curses...

  18. OK so on New Walking Robot From Honda · · Score: 1
    Somebody tell me when the Portman model comes out. Then I might be interested.

  19. Well I wonder... on India Plans Moon Mission In 2005 · · Score: 1
    Will they be opening a curry house up there ? There's a distinct lack of them in that part of the solar system. I was out with a few friends last Friday in the Tycho Crater Pub, and we couldn't find a chicken balti anywhere.

  20. Trash ? on Oracle Says It Investigated Microsoft Allies · · Score: 4
    "This apparently ties in with an earlier [CNN] report involving IGI and the failed purchase of Association for Competitive Technology office trash"

    Excuse me, but I thought that people buying Microsoft trash was their major source of revenue...

  21. Operating Systems on Crusoe To Be Used By Netwinder, IBM, NEC, Others · · Score: 1
    I don't suppose you thought to ask Linus, but I would be very interested to know how well these machines perform running Linux as compared to say, N/T. Was anything mentioned along these lines ?

  22. That's cool but... on An Overview Of PNG; Mozilla M17 (Updated) · · Score: 2
    AFAICS, the M17 milestone hasn't been released yet. Perhaps you are getting confused with the M17 *nightlies*.

    In other words, M16 has been released, the nightlies are now M17, once M17 milestone has been released, the nightlies will be M18, until M18 milestone is released, etc

  23. Re:So how well does it REALLY work now? on An Overview Of PNG; Mozilla M17 (Updated) · · Score: 1
    That was fixed about 2 weeks ago.

  24. Re:Do we only care because it's Linus? on Transmeta To Unveil New Notebooks Next Week · · Score: 1
    Yeah but of course, seeing as it's running an emulation layer, you should be able to run G4 and X86 code all on the same box.

  25. Re:Simple question on Transmeta To Unveil New Notebooks Next Week · · Score: 1

    8 hours ?? That's pretty awful. My Thinkpad running Linux can last over 48 hours in sleep mode.
