For those of us who are not complete console monks Nedit really is the perfect solution. While it is fatter than vi etc, the absolute difference is small enough to ignore even on older machines.
There is a comment on the ogg site, explaining a lengthy email exchange they had with RMS.
They all came to the conclusion that such a basic building block of the Internet like open audio needed a BSD-style license.
It is one of the most prominent left-wing grassroot sites on the Internet. It routinely gets mentioned in the mainstream media, more than Slashdot at any rate.

It seems to me that this company is guilty of nothing more than being a non-Western financial institution. Therefore as something alien it is threatening and must be shut down.
The White House release says al-Qaida used their services. Well of course they have, the firm has locations through out the Islamic world. al-Qaida has used plenty of Western banks like Britain's Barclays as well. I don't see much happening to them.
I'm sure the officials who decided to shut down the company don't think of themselves as racist. But the thought of shutting down a Western bank wouldn't even occur to them, especially if it was the largest employer in its country.
This is probably against./ party line, but Natalie Portman is a horribly wooden actress. Plus the stilted dialogue doesn't help. I'll watch it anyways though.
I would say that your view is rather one-sided too. Palestinians are not blameless, but lets face it, they react to a situation they are put in by Israel. How would you feel living in a refugee camp without a nation of your own? How willing would you and your neighbours be to negotiate with an occupier who violates international law, demolishes your homes and cries victim at the inevitable backlash?
This is not a struggle between equals. It is up to Israel to change the situation, i.e evict all settlers from Palestinan land, withdraw all troops, and offer a few East Jerusalem neighbourhoods as a capital. Then fortify the border and don't let any Palestinians in. This will mean forgoing the exploitation of cheap Palestinian labor, but hey, get over it.
The ball will then be in the P.L.O's court. They will have to satisfy the aspirations of their people without having anyone to blame.
Its almost become a rule of thumb that IBM technology is great, but that their marketing is not up to par.
What are you going to do to ensure that your Linux effort does not become another DB2/OS2/PPC quagmire, (i.e great technology in permanent also-ran position due to being outmarketed by the competition)
Using Netscape as a pawn has worked well for AOL in the past. Remember Win95? AOL got a place on that desktop in exchange for not using Netscape. And that was back when Netscape, was independent.
Fast forward to present day. AOL's purchase of Netscape has been worth it just for the leverage it gives them against Microsoft.
Is that the only reason for keeping Netscape around though? No. AOL has been slowly acquiring all the tools for dominating the user experience. Lets go through the checklist.
- Web browsing: Netscape
- Media: Winamp, Spinner
- IM: ICQ (bought essentially so they could let it stagnate while they pumped up AIM)
- Content: Time-Warner
Eventually they will declare all out war on Microsoft. Until that comes together, they play for time with tactics like this agreement.
Why do you think they made a version of AOL for Linux?
What Linux user is going to use AOL for crying out loud?
Approach it from another angle though, and it makes sense. A prepackage pre-installed AOL on Linux on a commodity PC would, in effect, be a Internet appliance for the masses.
I'm not saying it is going to work. I'm saying they are going to try
I just installed Mandrake 7.2 and I do have talk.
And gdb. And apache.
Why? Because instead of taking the easy was out and doing the recommended install, I did the custom install with individual package selection and auto dependencies.
Problem solved. Mandrake has everything including the kitchen sink, but its not going to dump everything on you during a recommended install. If you are a power user, then do the extra work and choose the packages yourself.
Lets not start with this ridiculous moral relativism. The rights other groups have should not be extended to pedophiles just because we feel we should be consistent. Pedophiles are persecuted in every possible way in this society. AND THATS HOW IT SHOULD BE.
And to the people who argue that it will cut down on their urges, oh please. Have you done an extensive study?
Or are you, as is more likely the case, basing your position on your unqualified pop psychology instincts?
Boo yaa
Microsoft listed Epoc as Strategic Threat No #1
on
New All-In-One Nokia
·
· Score: 1
Yes its true. I remember reading about an internal Microsoft strategic report that concluded that the whole EPOC/Psion/Symbian crew was the biggest long term threat world-wide to Redmond.
Seeing the very impressive capabilities of this leetle phone, I can what they mean. As wireless blows up, it will be interesting to see how this new battle plays out.
Opera has even ported their browser to EPOC. Very Cool.
Its all very well to smugly talk in broad abstractions about the free market
but the fact is broadband service is quite good
here especially compared with the horror stories
I hear from the States.
(how long does it take to get an MRI in Canada?)
A lot sooner than if I was one of 40 million Americans without health insurance!! The U.S spends 14% of GNP on health care, the highest rate in the world, and 40 MILLION of its citizens are without reliable access to it!

Check it out. Its everything you need
Not funny

$69 for Ximian Connector is totally unreasonable and will slow adoption of Evolution and Linux in the business world.
You're right. Gnutella will eventually be the most robust reliable protocol. Its development is important to the P2P community.
However currently Gnutella kind of sucks in practical terms. The loss of FT is a disaster in my viewpoint.
Oh well, back to Audiogalaxy.

Moderators, please mark this self-promoter down as a troll. All he does is post comments that plug his silly little project.
Click on his user id and check out his recent comments. Ridiculous.
Have a friend read the exchange and explain it to you.

Your quest for a nice server will be a lot easier if you dump MySQL. With the amount of data you are handling you *need* PostgreSQL.
Don't want to start a db flame war, but come on, you've read about Tim Perdue's experiment at Sourceforge.
MySQL is convenient but thats about it. Otherwise its just a speedy SQL frontend to the filesystem.
PostgreSQL on the other hand is a real, bad-ass, ACID-compliant mother that is almost ready to go toe to toe with Oracle.

"Clipart", eh? Is that what you call it?

avoid the lower classes.
I'm sure I speak for those plebians when I say
please keep up the good work.
I don't why people put up with arcane crap like vi. Maybe it makes them feel like 'real' programmers.
