Why not gather all quickies, as done with the Ask Slashdot, under a special menu, so that they are viewable all together? And add a config-item to disable all quickies (If you just want to read larger stories)? Oh, that last is allready possible... Sorry.
So now you have the chanse to create your own new freshmeat-status-thing! Just dedicate a large server and start program some good CGI-skripts to create the site and announce it here or at freshmeat... (I won't do that by myself, not now at least).
I think it's kind of scary. Connection should not be paid for for time meassuerd/bytes transfered, it should be paid for with a unity price (flat rate). And it does not matter if it's about T1s or telephone connections. In Europe everyone is paing per minute for their modem connections... Think we likes it? And I don't think waht is appropriate for The Management and the stock brokers is apropriate for technical peoples.
We don't think in the same way as they do, so we dont work in the same way neither. /Egil
Everyone and their mothers seems to be opensource licensing their products. That's good. So, soon we'l have our files on XFS and our data made visible with Data Explorer. The site seems to be a litle bit thin; there is no trace of the license under which it will be released. But OK, they say they will open the download in two days, and the license may be included in the source tar-ball...
I did not mean "look at the source and write something similar", I meant "look at the source what the datat format is and write a totally new driver for that format". Don't know if this is what you mean by "base a driver on the source code"...
Hm... I'm no lawyer, but from what I know, you can not copyright the FS, just the driver source? So if it is released under an OSL, but not GPL, we just read out how the FS works, and write our own driver? Or am I wrong?

Why not let a file consist of severa "fields", every field content defining the meaning of the next field. Let's say the first field is the name, and the second field the type of the file (Yeh, and we are not in UNIX anymore?), and that type determines the meaning of the next field (For text/plain, that would be a description field and the fourth the content), i.e. the number of fields and their meaning is not defined by the FS, but by the applications using the file? OK, I dont't think this will ever be added to a FS for Linux, but hey, I want to dream too...
OK, my "gymnasium" (Is that equal to high school in the US?) was a newly built one, with some high-tech-wannabe ideas. Anyway, computers where used together with some digital cameras (Wow, those cameras had high resolution!), as a complement to ordinary cameras when teaching photography. That must be categorized as "art". But yes, writing papers is the most usefull area. And don't forget SIAA represents those who sell the programs, what they are doing is trying to convince the politicians who decides over school-budgets to spend some of it on their programs...
I still wait for adist. that has its initrunleveldefault=5 and gdm installed by default. And a GNOMEified installation-program. First autodetect the graphic-card, then boot X and runt that install-program, off of the CD. And, when you're doing it, lets autodetect the rest of the hardware, too. Let the only three questions to the user be "Do you want to do the configuration by hand, or let the installation take care of that", "Please enter the configuration (root) password" and "Please enter a username and password for your account"...
Linux-maker to become honordoctor in Stockholm Linus Torvalds is to be record-young honordoctor at the mathematical/natursientific faculty at Stockholm University Finland-swede Torvalds, who in a pressmessage from the faculty is called "IT-rebel and computer genious", is the man behind the operating system Linux, a free program which is honored by sientists all over the world. With Linux it is becoming possible to, for a reasonable amount of mony, get a computer, which is a lot better than workstations which, just a few years ago, did cost hundreds of thousends of crowns, the faculty wrotes. Three additional honordoctors are promoved; the tjechian professor Josef Houstek and the canadian professors Larry Mayer and Ross Norstrom. All of them are promoved the 24th of september.
By more than 10 witnesses testimon against the spammer? That may be hard if the recepients are spread out over the world... Anyway, such a law and standard must be enforced all over the world, not just in the US, at the same time, to stop spammers...
It may do the work, and does, at least for vmware. There is a thing called single-step in an 80x86, which lets you single step a program, with an interrupt after every instruction, so you may easily look-ahead and see if the next would compromize your emulation... This functionality is used by vmware, while they say this functionality is not available to debuggers running inside a guest-os...

GPL is a bug-work-around for capitalism (IP laws are the bugs). Several other such bwa:s, such as Greenpeace, laws against monopolism, exists. If these are seen as communistic, and communism is seen as bad, then the observer may not be a humanist! To let everybody gain from what everybody create can not be bad; the gain must then be larger than if everybody only gained from there own work!
What is the reason for Linux to exist? There is no One True solution, GUI, API or shell at all, even in the OS. How could you then motivate a One True OS? OSes performs different tasks and are optimized for different operations. That they are able to emulate each other does not say they are the same (I would like to see anyone calling Linux a Windows version, just because of Wine!).
Binaries are Evil, and, while making the market larger for companies porting to Linux (And therefor more interresting), it may perhaps chrinken the number of open sourced programs?
I'm just unable to count them (They are spread over too many projects, and I even don't remember programming on some of the smaller ones)... So, there's no alternative for me! Add one, please!
And then you have UDE, which makes it five... But he forgotten the words "at least". And he forgotten that is not the weakness of Linux, it is its strength!
Studying SC, you lern not only how to do something, but why to do it that way. The drawback is that the intention of the education is not to increase your creativity; only your reasoning capatibility. If not prepered, you may turn from a hacker to a computer software writer droid. The first sign of sush change is that you loose the possibility to get involved in a new hacking project unless you are forced to, by the school or by an employer...
