  1. Stoopid. on Baseball Fans Must Pay To Listen Online · · Score: 1

    Why bother when I can see the Brewers play IN PERSON for $1?

    Sure, the seats suck, being behind the only two posts in the park (hence the name "Uecker seating") , but nobody said you have to actually sit in them...

    And the Brewers suck too.

    But still, $1 per ticket is a better bargain.

    Yeah, now if only my network card ran for more than 5 seconds at a time before I have to slay and restart its server, it would be perfect!

    If the FreeBSD folks can write a driver that works with RealTek 8139 cards, why can't QNX?

    Didn't crash once in several hours of use, even when I fed it Java.


    You must be using it only for slashdot then. For me it crashes all the time, without warning. Or else it'll hang after it grabs the pointer when I close mail, making the system much harder to use (flip over to another console, type killall mozilla-bin, but what if there aren't any others?)

    All I know is Konqueror (from KDE 2.0) blows Mozilla out of the water when it comes to stability and speed, and if KMail did IMAP (maybe it does in 2.1?) i would neven need to touch Mozilla ever again.

    All around Mozilla is full of bugs, especially the one where you can't install it as root then use it, and the one where it hangs if it doesn't like your .mozilla directory.

    P.S. if you install Java twice it works.
  7. Re:HOWTO-Pronounce on Ogg Vorbis Changes (Just About) Everything · · Score: 1

    I think he pronounces "Lee-nooks" as "Lih-nooks" if you listen really close.

    So, IT DOESN'T MATTER how you pronounce Linux!

  8. What? RMS gets it?!! on Ogg Vorbis Changes (Just About) Everything · · Score: 1

    RMS agreeing to someone's decision to license free software under the BSD license? That's like... Microsoft deciding to release Windows XP under GPL!!!

    Well, actually he sounds amazing rational when he explains that it's a good thing to release Vorbis under the BSD license so that anybody, even corporations, can use the technology. And I agree 100%. I think the BSD license is the best license if you want to establish a new industry standard.

    In any case, I guess this is a case where the freedom of the technology to "infect" everybody takes precedence over the freedom of the code itself.

    I guess this shows how much RMS dislikes the LGPL ;-)

    Imagine going up to the DJ at your local party/rave and not being limited to his/her personal collection


    BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

    I guarantee you, no DJ worth anything would go anywhere nearMP3s, no matter what the selection is. Heck, half of them will slap you around if you suggest they use CD instead of vinyl!

    Not that you would actually notice...

    anyway, I for one want the sound quality of what I'm listening to to be limited by the equipment I'm listening to it on, not the format it's distributed in.

    In the original cartoons, it was merely "Truth and Justice". The "American Way" was added in the live-action television series, I believe.

    Actually, the man page says "Tab Window Manager", but twm.c still says "Tom's Window Manager". Since the source is the ultimate documentation for any program, "Tom's" it is.

  20. Re:UWM? on Interview With Tom LaStrange (The T In twm) · · Score: 1

    Just comment out the definition in Xlib.h. There's a comment there anyway that says to change it, so it shouldn't hurt.

    Unfortunately, once I run it it doesn't respond to clicks, ALT-clicks, SHIFT-clicks, META-clicks, or anything... :-(

    The only thing I can do is type the name of a program in xterm then click the "icon" and choose where I want it to map.

    So, I guess uwm stands for "Unusable Window Manager"...

    P.S. the README says it comes from X11R2, not X10.

    ./segfault.c:1: `#include' expects "FILENAME" or <FILENAME>
    Besides, the message is wrong, and segfaulting programs won't always dump core depending on ulimit settings.

    Try this for proper functionality:

    #include <sys/time.h>
    #include <sys/resource.h>
    #include <unistd.h>

    int getrlimit (int resource, struct rlimit *rlim);
    int main(){
    struct rlimit *limits;
    getrlimit(RLIMIT_CORE, limits);
    if(limits->rlim_cur)
    printf("Segmentation fault (core dumped)\n");
    else printf("Segmentation fault\n");
    }

    Not sure it's perfect, but it's closer.
