I am also very interested in WPA and don't know why it isn't included in Fedora by default or even in the extras repository.
Is there a political reason behind this? Most Linux users are very concerned about security and I don't know why this security feature wouldn't be pushed hard and supported.
The plugin does work quite well actually -- at least the stuff they've created so far. I'm actually concerned about the integration of the Phone Gaim code with the core Gaim code. I've never seen any mention of them working on that kind of functionality at all.
Seems the SIP phone and landline phone tie-in may be a revenue stream for the major distros. I'd rather give my money to Fedora for my long distance phone calls than to Skype, but that's what I do now...
I know this was made by the guys at Lindows but it seems like such a great project. Wonder why the Gaim developers don't talk about it on their own home page?
It seems this would be a great option for GNOME in general. I'd love to have this functionality tied into my Evolution Data Server instead of creating yet another buddy list, etc.
I don't understand why these products don't support Samba shares. That would make it an easily cross platform solution, I would think.
I've waited for a feature like this for a long time and since many of the players are based on Linux I don't see why they don't just thros samba in the mix.
Both of these companies are "committed" to Linux o the desktop yet both of them seem utterly clueless when it comes to fonts.
I have installed an RH 7.3 box w/ Ximian desktop, and for God's sake I can't even read the articles on CNN.com without zooming in at least 2 times! I had the same problem w/ Linux.com but Roblimo came to the rescue and changed the style sheet, as I understand. My email client (Evolution) cannot display HTML emails written with these MS fonts, either.
On the default installation, fonts should be extremely legible. I'm sure companies like Redhat, Ximian, KDE, Sun and Mandrake have the clout and the cash to design the 3 most basic fonts that we need.
I'm not saying that Linux should be able to please the most finicky designers, but a regular person won't think twice about Linux if he/she can't read the first web site they go to.
Actually, I also declined to install the 3rd party software. However, it still installed a program called EzStub which consistently begs my firewall to access the internet.
There is no mention of this program in the Windows Registry, either.
Why they didn't make a model like this one that plays burned CDs is beyond me. If I was going to put a 60 gig hard drive in my car it better do a lot more than play MP3 files.
My company is about to buy 2 Linux workstations, and I'm concerned with which video card to go with.
Which vendors support open source developers (xfree86) the best? I would normally buy Nvidia-based systems for Windows, but from what I understand, their binary-only drivers are a disadvantage.
From what I understand, DotGNU and Mono are complimentary projects.
DotGNU is an open-source authentication service similar to Passport, where Mono is a development environment similar to.NET, and in particular the C# language and compiler.
Am I the only person who things SSL is the most screwed up thing about this program? I love Mozilla (actually, the concept behind Mozilla) but if you can't shop, it's pretty pointless.
I haven't even tried mail yet. Still sticking with 4.x for that.
I think Linus should hand over control to an industry consortium at some time. Maybe now is the time, since 2.4 is finished, and he doesn't seem to be thinking much about 2.5 or 3.0.
Having competing forks, etc would not be the best way to go, and the surest way to prevent that from happening is for Linus to hand over the official kernel to another organization.
I want to know how well it compares to ImageReady. We use it constantly when doing web graphics because it has excellent options for previewing compression settings and animating GIFS.
And don't tell me animated GIFs are outdated, I know it already but they're still cool sometimes.
Honestly, to determine how severe a bug is it should be measured in terms of the number of people it affects.
Therefore, it could make more sense to Multiply the number of available bugs by the number of users of the particular OS to get a sense of how damaging the bug could be.

My post was made over 4G, actually, hahaaaaa!
Hey you smart geeks -- why does this matter at all if the test is done over WiFi?
This has nothing to do with 3g or 4g performance at all. It has to do with WiFi performance. And Wi

When I installed LimeWire 2.02, I requested that ADP wasn't installed, but it is still running in my task manager.
Does anyone know what this program is?
Anyone have a screenshot of this butt-ugly program?
;)

This will lend some serious legitimacy to the Sledgehammer. Plus, it sounds like there will be clones, too! Love it.

Nintendo was making the colored gameboys BEFORE apple came out with the iMac. I think that's prior use, and apple's lawsuits are worthless.

Under this light, Microsoft looks very bad.

Look at the handshake icon for the Contact list! What the hell is that?
My guess is Microsoft over the Kerberos thing.
