KDE users can install one of the best distros out there: Suse. I don't see how a distro focusing on one desktop environment is bad, especially if it's aimed at corporate customers.
They are also stupid if they don't add education costs for the developers. In addition to courses, every hour a developer spends learning and not developing is a wast of salary. If the developers in a company has more skill in c++ that in c, then choosing a native c++ toolkit like qt (as opposed to the much less elegant gtkmm) will easily save the costs of licencing it. My point is that you should also consider the cost of deployment.
Evolution will have spam filtering in the future (2.0). Currently you can filter every incoming mail through an external program like spamassassin to get the job done.
Lost of neat effects. Nice music during the end titles. Somewhere there was a plot, where things like the forc.. sorry the *source* and the machines being unable to kill -9 Smith stand out as the most illogical parts. Good entertainment. It certainly doesn't deliver in the story department, though. Ofcourse it could have been worse. The ending could have been all happy, happy, joy, joy...
That plays video hell with standard remote-control apps (VNC, PCAW)?
Only one app can use video overlay in windows at one time. Running Netmeeting and windowed accelerated OpenGL at the same time won't work. We worked on this problem for some while. ConsoleOne (like all remote-control apps) uses video overlay as well. It's all a matter of who reserved it first and since ConsoleOne usually loads on startup...
Just like the latest KDE 3.2 beta announcement leaves it open to interpretation that they are moving to motif (they must be, since they are not mentioning qt). Stop trolling.
A link can consist of more than two jumps. So a link through Google is still a link to the final target as well. So I don't think that argument will work. I hope no argument is ever needed, however.
If I would like to fit 8GB in my brand new Athlon 64 video editing workstation with only 4 memory slots, I would have little choice but to grind my teeth and buy 2GB DIMMs.
Wrong. I'm Finnish. I'm not defending France. I just find it ironic that most critisism on slashdot against France mainly seems to be coming from the US who have a less that perfect record of good behaviour themselves. This is all of course about the nations and their governments and not about the people.
I'm just trying to explain why I believe the US has "a need" to think of itself as a world leader. You just seem to be proving that the US is acting like some sort of free world bully that the UN won't stop. Leaders are followed by choice. Bullies are not. It seems to be popular among americans to bash France for believing they are something they are not. I just think it's there is some irony in that.
I always find it sad to see people bash the though of democracy at nation level.
The UN can be seen as a democratic nation, with all the nations of the world being it's citizens. Got it? Now, this democracy is flawed due to the right of certain nations to veto the decisions of the security councel (US, Russia, China, France and England if I remember correctly). These are all winners of WWII.
The scenario you gave could be rewritten with any other of these nations taking the place of the US, and the UN could do nothing to stop them as they would veto any action against them. However the US is the only nation which actually does this outside of its own borders (the SU did too, but they are no more). The US and its puppets (Israel) is also the only nations which sees it as the world leader. Why? Because it has a psychological need to do so?
P.S. I don't think this pissing contest will lead anywhere anytime soon.
I always find it sad to see people bash the though of democracy at nation level. Why *do* you find the thought of the UN and not the US being the world leader funny?
Simple fact is, the US is pretty much the leader of the world.
Really? I thought the UN was. And you are telling me Americans don't have a need to feel like the biggest, best and most powerful nation in the world that all bow down to? Of course you do, the US propaganda machine (also known as television) has been telling you that for years. Europe and France in particular don't lick your boots, so that's why they must be evil. But don't dispair. We are all brainwashed by our governments, every single one of us living on this deity-forsaken globe (slightly muffled sound of a shotgun. silence)
Slashdot Mirror
It'll never be done unless they write a role for some gorgeous woman to be captured by the aliens. That salesman just doesn't cut it.

Windows NT/2K/XP uses a microkernel, which basically *is* a bunch of subsystems. Linux is a macrokernel which is more like a big pile of bits.
Isn't that a contradiction?

This *might* be due to that GPL vs. LGPL issue again.
If you pet your pet it might purr. If your pet is a dog, you might want to consider taking it to a vet.
..but isn't the disputed ip in the kernel?
About the alternative kernels: I hear the Hurd is about to be released as an end-user product real soon now (tm).

..which is commonly referred to a lossy *compression*. But I agree with your assessment that data reduction is a description of these formats.

Aaaargh! Learning to *write* english would be good too! It's subtitles not subtiles..
Learning to read english is probably easier. Then you can watch the movie with subtiles.
Intresting. Adding steps does not change anything, however. It is still a logical link (not a html link of course).
