    PLEASE for god's sake, merge ext3 into the kernel. it's nice and stable, and i'm sick of patching.

  9. Re:Bloat? on Gnome 2.0 Alpha 1 Released · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'd agree that KDE and Gnome should be collaborating, but I sincerely hope that the GTK widget set wins through at the end of the day.

    gtk is all blocky and and ugly looking, while qt is streamlined and smooth. if you're ever gonna convert all the windrones over to linux, it's gotta look pretty...

    just my $0.02

  10. total utter bullshit on Huge security hole in Internet Explorer for MacOS · · Score: -1, Redundant

    i can't even *begin* to fathom how this got published. binhex (hqx) is a COMPRESSED FILE, not an executable! if it decompressed it and then ran the installer, or some other binary without checking first, then we'd have a problem.

    has anyone here ever used a mac? good grief.

  11. ezmlm on Managing Mailing Lists · · Score: 1

    too bad there's not a section on ezmlm, the mailing list manager for qmail

  14. Re:best job around on Are There Any Fun Tech Jobs Left? · · Score: 1

    that's pretty cool...i don't particularly like MS business policies, however i never doubted that they treat their employees quite well

  15. i work at a pretty neat place on Are There Any Fun Tech Jobs Left? · · Score: 1

    i just started a new job, for a non-profit. it doesn't pay a lot, but being on a ranch, isolated in western montana is nice compensation. here we have a lake within 100 feet of my front door, nice people, horses, lots of fun.

    my position here is basically maintaining the network, as well as the database and web servers, as well as writing new software which keeps our organization together. i'm rather enjoying it after 3 weeks.

    don't fret folks, there still are enjoyable, fun tech jobs out there - i plan on staying with .orgs as long as i can.

  16. Re:Well that language takes out work-around on MS FrontPage Restricts Free Speech II (It's True!) · · Score: 1

    isn't this kinda like Adobe including language in their Photoshop EULA that forbids the use of the software in conjunction with pornography (as in editing photos) or child pornography (as in drawing your own kiddie porn)?

  19. Re:KDE and Active X on KDE 2.2.1 Up · · Score: 1

    Gnome or KDE on Slackware would be kinda hard without a good package management system... well, okay, not that hard... but it wouldn't be as easy to resolve dependancies with a system that doesn't have that capability.

    ./configure --prefix=/opt/kde/ && make
    ... six pack ...
    su
    make install

    nope, not that hard - tho slack (tgz) packages would be nice.
