  1. Re:21 years? on Study Shows Cell Phones Safe · · Score: 1

    The analog NMT-450 net opened in Denmark in 1982. In 1985 portable phones, as opposed to phones intended for mounting in vehicles, were legalized. But until phones like the Storno Portable http://www.stornotime.dk/images/StornoData/storno- portable-b.jpg were introduced (at about the same time that the NMT-900 net opened in Denmark in January 1987), antennas probably tended not to be positioned right next to the user's head...

    It is also Danish and Swedish for now. The .nu TLD has been especially popular in Sweden; domains under .se used to be hard to get.

    If I was designing a windowing system, the first thing I'd do is make the titlebar only long enough to hold the title.
    BeOS does this. ;-)
    As does twm...

    The behavior can be specified with SqueezeTitle and DontSqueezeTitle in the twm startup file. It can even be done on a per window basis.

  6. Re:Hmm... on SCO Makes Open Source Contributions · · Score: 1

    Cscope is harcoded to use /usr/tmp which doesn't exist on all systems. You can either set the TMPDIR environment variable to, say /var/tmp, make a symlink from /usr/tmp to /var/tmp or modify the TMPDIR #define in common/main.c and recompile cscope to fix it once and for all. With access to the tmp dir, it works fine.
