the story of the ATM machine left infront of a convenience store. People whould come up to it insert their card, type the pin and be presented with an error saying there is no more money left in the machine. A week later the machine disappeared. All the people who had used the ATM had given the data form their ATM cards and pin numbers to a fake machine that was logging the info!
atleast they got rid of noatun or whatever that crap that KDE media player was. Good god! was it awful.
You dont know the pain of being a kde user and having to run XMMS!
oh well i use itunes on OSX now:)
i like the new lean yahoo page:
http://search.yahoo.com/
also the results are comparable to google. Searching for my name turned out a few things i had never seen on Yahoo. Quite nice. I think i have another search engine to use.
Gotta love capitalism!
well think of a situation like this: i am distributing newest binary versions of exsting Linux software (apt, rpm, deb whatever) i do this for a while and get a little following. One day i decide i need to root a few boxes. So i take the most popular software i have, and modify the source and put a trojan in it. In addition, i put up the correct md5 values for this build. So when my victim checks (if they do at all), it all looks normal. There is nothing to easily compare it to make sure it is a safe binary other than the md5 and even that, i've provided. How will you know that my binary is safe? probably no way of doing that, but you will install it anyway.
what on earth are you talking about?
im talking about windows. Windows is alot more than the kernel just like Linux is alot more than the kernel. In addition, if you know anything about windows, you know that the windowing system is part of the OS and resides in the kernel level along with drivers.If you dont know what user level and kernel level is, please stop here.
Now, if you want to make an accurate comparison, take the linux kernel source, the X-windows source, KDE source, SDL source and source for tons of drivers and you have something like the windows source.
You should also know that in Linux, the bulk of the code in the source is drivers not the actual OS.
RTFA the code was intended to make windows program compatible with unix flavors. It is not the windows source but the source for some code from win 200 sp1. The code is only 600mb (size of 1 cd) when uncompressed and apparently the entire windows source is 40GB.
So, no, the code will not build windows.
that C# and IL are an international standard (at least in ECMA's eyes) and MS has absolutely no control over the language right? Not just that there are several other compiler for C#, made by german firms i think. FYI, basically it boils down to this: .net = european standards camp
Java = american standards camp, though not fully done yet.
Im on panther befreo that jaguar? mine is tiff by default. I have never gotten pdf. If this guy is not using panther or jaguar then i wonder why he is comparing to an old OS
"In Mac OS X, when you take a screenshot, a PDF file is placed on the desktop. PDFis an awkward choice for a file format for a screenshot and if the desktop is obscured"
As a open source developer who develops Cocoa apps on OSX, i regularly take screenshots of my apps and put them on sourceforge. Im not sure what OS this guy is using, i definetly take my screenshots as TIFF of Jpeg
wonder what happens when you get a kernel oops on your PDA.. i guess on most pda's you can restore Win CE, anyone have an experince like that? im curious.
Now, more seriously, I doubt anyone would like to use linux on their PDA.. at least from the quality of the PIM apps i see on the desktop. The best and arguably the most popular linux PIM is evolution, i think the developers shoudl be targeting their apps to evolution (or maybe even using it on the PDA). In the end folks its all about the PIM it doesnt matter if you can run mplayer with aalib in a terminal on your PDA if you cant take down a meeting time or a note and sync it with your PC.
windows is not included, i would love to see how well linux and windows go head to head when properly configured. A win vs lin photoshop challenge, now that would be interesting..oh wait..
whatever you do dont get comcast(in brighton, Ma), i just got a letter saying that basic cable was only broadcast cahnnels and i was getting the other "basic cable" channels by error. A quick look at their site says basic cable includes a lot of other channles. When comcast was called the people said something similar to the website. The letter threatens to cut all but braodcast channels on march 2nd.
i like it when leftists complain about MS voilating human rights in china and not the Chinese communist gov. I think people are ignoring the main thing here becasue it looks bad for their side. Simply put a leftist gov in china is voilating human rights.
and i dont mean the site asking for caps. The interesting bit it that this will be announced in a big commercial during the superbowl later today that will proclaim that you can legally download free music. i get the impression that this will appeal to alot of people. i hope that it is a huge success.. i know iwill buy pepsi instead of coke simple becasue of the offer:).. i think thw best thing to do is get a song and give to 2 friends as well that way you have 1/3 odds and 3 people:)

i was replying to the parent post which said someone should sue him

C# open standard that no company controls
Java controlled, owned by Sun

nice to see that there are the same number of people using linux as there are people using windows 95..

nazi? dont see what this has to do with socialism or nationalism
funny, my school has MIPS assembly and MIT scheme in the intro level courses. I don't see any other way of doing it.

no they used the Visa check card..
right and compare amnesty critsicm of china with say that of a democratic country like the US. grow up.
Brutal regimes who slaughter their own people have traditionally been called rightwing regimes.
Ah the wonders of denial, now the communist party is rightwing. pathetic and ignorant.
