  2. Re:$300k apartment? on Revolutionary Tower in Brazil · · Score: 1

    US$ 1.00 is about R$ 2.70. So, US$ 300k is about R$ 800k. In other words, the price is equivalent to US$ 800k in the US market.

    It's not that cheap, specially considereing the cost of life in Curitiba, which is lower than São Paulo or Rio de Janeiro.

  3. Pr0n helper on Building a Better Mozilla With Plugins · · Score: 1

    Magpie also includes tools for adjusting a site's URL by incrementing or decrementing the numbers in it ... This is a good extension for those who do a lot of research online.

    Research, hmm? I see...

  4. Re:Funny how times change. on IBM's Linux Upgrade Roadmap · · Score: 1

    I can still clearly remember the days when IBM was the enemy, up in their ivory white towers. ( 20 + years ago )

    Interesting, that's about the same time the Soviets were the enemy and Afghans the allies...

  5. Re:I hope Peter Jacson finally gets an oscar.... on Return of the King Wins Four Golden Globes · · Score: 1

    Just look at his film bio

    He doesn't need an extense bio to be a good director (see the examples of Quentin Tarantino and Stanley Kubrick). Besides the LOTR trilogy, I only watched Heavenly Creatures , and that's an excellent movie: no big FX, no 9-digits, just a plain well-told story.

  6. Re:Tomcat 5 implements JSP 2.0 on Tomcat 5.0 Released · · Score: 4, Informative

    One of the biggest changes seems to be support for the JSP 2.0 specification, which incorporates JSTL (Java Standard Template Library) version 1.1

    Not really: JSP 2.0 incorporates the EL (expression language), which was first introduced at JSTL 1.0, not the JSTL itself.

    In fact, it's quite the opposite: JSTL 1.1 requires a JSP 2.0 container, as EL handling is now responsability of the JSP container, not the taglib.

  7. Re:Sad, but no surprise on Sun Drops Bid To Join Eclipse · · Score: 1

    yes, it sure would be nice if I could just deploy it as is to other IDEs!

    Sure, it would be very nice. In fact, there is already a JSR for that matter:

  8. Re:About the same as Reloaded on 'Matrix Revolutions' Opens Today · · Score: 1

    <WARNING&>possible spoiler below</WARNING>

    To much mysticism type stuff, where his powers extended beyond the matrix. Matrix stuff crossing over into the real world just didn't make a lot of sense.

    After Reloaded, I'd agree with you. I thought the explanation would be something like there the real world was another Matrix.
    But after I watched Revolutions, I realized Neo doesn't have generic superpowers: his superpowers are limited to the machines, which could be doable (for instance, the sentinels could know he is The One and obey him).

  9. Re:It's a step in the right direction on Brazilian Government Continues Push For Free Software · · Score: 1

    Furthermore, when you hire contractors, you can get a solution which fits better than an out of the package software-suite

    Not only that, but the money spent by the government would be injected in the local economy, not in a foreign company (even if part of it is still invested on foreign consulting companies, most should go local).

    by deploying linux, does it mean they'll pass that along to their customers?

    Sure. Like the movie theaters lowered ticket prices after increasing revenue by selling ads before the movies...

    Yes, I'm trolling. You would too, if you had to deal with Oracle on a daily basis---contractual obligations, you see.

    I used to have the same problem, until I realized emacs have a sql-oracle mode which calls sqlplus inside a buffer. 'Nouf said!!

    It appears not to support scrolling

    The scrolling works if you use J2SE 1.4.x. This is a Java issue.

  14. Re:Gecko? How about Browzilla? on Firebird Database Project Admin on Name Clash · · Score: 1

    However, Mozilla itsef has already inspired several derivated names, such as Chatzilla (IRC), Bugzilla and Crockzilla. So, keep the tradition and rename Phoenix to Browzilla. Everybody will understand that it is a browser and it's a part of Mozilla project. ...or better yet: Geckozilla

  16. mSQL on MySQL A Threat to Bigwigs? · · Score: 1

    Of course, there's no mention of PostgreSQL or mSQL, but I guess that's typical.

    Not being a troll here, but does people still use mSQL anyway? I know it was very popular a couple of years ago, but nowadays I guess it lost its place to mysql...

  19. Re:Annoyance on Mozilla 1.2.1 Released · · Score: 3, Informative

    I think someone posted a hint about that here on slashdot sometime ago. I took note of it, but haven't tried yet. Anyway, here it is:

    You can share bookmarks amoung all your installs of Mozilla, Phoenix, and probably other Gecko browsers (untested). All you do is add the following command to your prefs.js file:

    user_pref("browser.bookmarks.file", "C:\\Documents and Settings\\userdude\\Application Data\\Mozilla\\Profiles\\default\\wx4vqyna.slt\\bo okmarks.html");

    In addition, you can share plugins by adding the following line to your environment. Her is an example of what I did on my Windows box:

    MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH = "C:\Program Files\mozilla.org\Share\Plugin" (in Environment Variables on Win2k)

    Really helps so you don't have to redo plugins all the time and you can share one bookmark file for all!

  20. Re:I'll vouch for that on EBay Letting Fraud Slide? · · Score: 2

    My idea of a way to fix the system is that we should have the money and item go through ebay.

  21. Re:My god! on Interview with Taylor & Pennington from Red Hat · · Score: 2

    The article states that after many years of "It's not a bug, it's a feature!", real resolution changing has just been added to XFree86's CVS.

    Also, I wonder how long will it take to support multiple mice "on-the-fly", i.e., without having to manually setting XF86Config-4 and restarting X.

    That too would be really useful, mainly in the laptop arena.

  22. Re:USENET on Red Hat 8.0 For KDE Users (And Newbies) · · Score: 4, Funny

    (Note: I'm only pretending to be someone who doesn't know what usenet is. I'm well aware that it's an operating system, not an ISP)

    You're wrong. Usenet is just a kernel. GNU/usenet is the operating system.
