  1. Re:Zope, perhaps on WebDAV with a Quota? · · Score: 1

    There's also a QuotaFolder product for zope, which together with Zope offers exactly what you want. You can see a working setup of all of this at FreeZope

  2. How about Tanenbaum? on Cooking with the Internet? · · Score: 1

    Besides Minix, flamewars and excellent CS books, Andrew Tanenbaum has also written a cookbook:

    http://www.cs.vu.nl/~ast/home/how_to_prep.pdf

  3. His goodbye posting on Guido van Rossum Leaves Zope.com · · Score: 5, Informative

    You can read his goodbye posting to the zope3 list here

  4. IP foundation based on "Quicksand" on SCO vs Linux.. Continued · · Score: 1

    Sounds like Opensource FUD - "Don't buy OSS, you may never know who's the real owner of (parts of) the source"

    Asif GPL's open source (and closed source) has never been abused in (other) commercial products.

  5. Canada is not the first? on Iris Scanners in Canadian Airports · · Score: 5, Interesting

    As far as I know, schiphol airport has had irisscans for a while now. See for example this article

  6. Re:Plone on Should Open Source Content Management Interoperate? · · Score: 1

    I'm not to familiar with the plone site or plone itself, but it's probably statement that plone is built *on top* of Zope and CMF, so you will need to refer to those two (and have a basic knowledge of them) to understand things like permissions, usermanagement, workflow and objecttypes in plone.

  7. Re:... well maybe on Microsoft To Make Wireless Networking Hardware · · Score: 1

    Actually, I read an article somewhere that claimed that winwifi (as in winmodem) cards would make sense. The basic ethernet stuff would still be in hardware, but things like WEP would be done in drivers, which would make them more easy upgradable. It wouldn't be asif the driver would have to the entire modem/sound emulation.

  8. A small buffer is already there on Blender Community Rescues Sources · · Score: 3, Interesting

    as far as I can see, E100K has actually been paid. Another E8455 is 'pending', so they already should have some funds for their expenses.

    Great news!

  9. Re:How do these compare to Squishdot? on E2 and LJ, Comparing Content Management Systems · · Score: 1
    If anyone wants to try this combo (Zope,Squishdot), have a look at FreeZope.org


    The free account is somewhat limited - you don't get full control, but it should be a nice first start.

  10. MySQL is an SQL programmable datastructure on MySQL A Threat To The Big Database Vendors? · · Score: 1

    As I see it, MySQL is not much more than an SQL programmable datastructure, and that's also the way many people use it (and for which it is very well suited).

    But MySQL still lacks the features that a *real* RDBMS should provide. Thank god it finally has transactions, but it still lacks views, subselects, foreign keys (as far as I know, though they are planned now for 4.something), pl/sql, good concurrency support (i.e. it has table-level locks), etc.

    And RDBMS should not just provide insert and select, but data integrity, security (possibly through views), triggers (and a language to handle them) and scalability (which at this moment MySQL does support better than PostgreSQL, though I do expect PostgreSQL to be the better/more flexible here in the future)

    If anyone is stupid enough to use Oracle to run his weblog, Oracle may lose a customer to MySQL there. But for the rest, I think PostgreSQL is the bigger threat.

  11. Installation on What is Holding SAP-DB Back? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I tried sap-db about a week ago. The online rpm's are hopelessly out of sync with the online documentation.

    The python that comes with the binary release doesn't even work correctly it seems.

    After an hour of adjusting paths, fixing shellscripts and figuring out what else to install I gave up - I'll just stick with Postgres.

    Also, the features aren't that impressive. I heard that the "replication manager" is just an dbdump import/export script or something like that (though I hope I'm wrong here)

  12. They're pretty lame though on unix.com Wins Domain Dispute · · Score: 1

    I don't know what the unix.com owners want to do with the domain (probably selling it for lots of $$ to AT&T?), but in trying to be 'not related to unix' they behave pretty lame, like stealing the webdesign from zope.org. Have a look

  13. Mindcrafts "objectiveness" and linux equivalent on Mindcraft Posts Linux Hate Mail · · Score: 1
    Well at least mindcraft's confirming who's side they have chosen rather than being an unbiased testing company.

    I bet mayor linux sites (slashdot, linux.com, linus torvalds himself) get tons of mail like this from windows users to lame to be able to install linux, or being disappointed office2000 won't run under linux. How about posting these?

  14. Re:Windows/VMS lost the last round vs. Unix on Metcalfe claims Linux Can't Beat Win2000 · · Score: 1
    As far as I know, Microsoft wanted people to believe that NT was a microkernel. Perhaps it was around NT 3.5, but with it's current integration with the GUI, Explorer ;) etc, you can hardly call it a microkernel.

    I think linux with it's modules is way less monolithic than NT

  15. Easy to install eh? on NT faster than Linux in tests · · Score: 1

    Yeah right. My "previous" win98 (must have been
    some old build or something) did not support
    my 3c509b, which was supported by linux, solaris,
    freebsd and (after a little patching) BeOS.

  16. It's a transmeta.com mirror on Linux.com is Up · · Score: 1

    It's a transmeta.com mirror is what I meant
    to say. It's an exact copy! ;)

  17. It's a transmeta.com on Linux.com is Up · · Score: 1

    Finally! Transmeta.com has been mirrored! :)

  18. It's Andy Tanenbaum on Domain Defense News · · Score: 1

    Tanenbaum's name is with one 'n'. And I
    wouldn't know what Andy would to with a
    world.std.com as he lives here in the
    Netherlands and works at .cs.vu.nl
