I wish they pushed out smaller packages, I expect that 5% of the components are affected by the update, sloppy, yet typical configuration management can only be to blaim for this.
Almost every project I have ever worked on has sloppy configuration management, typically involding overwriting the whole system with the update. This is a problem because it shows that they are unable to track what has been changed, or just don't havethe confidence in their tracking to do a delta rollout.
The lack of tracking also makes regression bugs a pain to fix, and roll backs next to impossible.
I don't know but Konq is definatly the most bugging browser I've used. What they need to do is fully encapsulate the components in seperate threads so that when KHTML crashes it doesn't take out all my Konq windows.
Threading apart from the obvious benifits to be gained from hypetthreading and multi-core processors that are going to hit the desktop in the next couple of years, would also enable pooling which would mand you could have 50 konq windows open, but only a couple of khtml parts doing the work, giving a lower memory overhead, and allowing the application in the forground to get priority over the application in the background etc...
Linux certification for applcations is great (though I havn't got a clue what you'd do about GUI ones!), but what we really need is a linuc driver certification program. Vendors don't like realeasing software unless they can get somones QA rubber stamp on it.
Wrong, havn't you read anything on this story. 1: SecureId, the password changes every few seconds making logging pointless. 2: Biometrics, biometric data changes all the time so an exact copy won't work as a password.You could probably use HMM and try and put some natural looking vatiation into the data.
Hey, thats what I do at work. It's no like their arn't a million other people who would just give you the info.....I phoned up my previous empoyer the yesterday to get my payroll information for the last couple of years, and there going to stick it in the post to me without any requirement for ID, now if this were a small company you'd say fair enough, but its one of the largest holders of personal data in the UK and should be a little tighter with there security.
Keyboard logger, anyone who could get that close to you could put an in-line keyboard logger on you pc and get you password that way.
Failing that I'm sure you can measure inductance in the wiring that makes up a keyboard, every time a key is pressed you'll get a different amount of induction because of the longer and shorter circuits.
When you were young, and then when you were older, it's got some seriously dark undertones, which is one of the things that Tim Burton has always done well. I expect you'll be supprised by the remake.
Sadly missed will be support for Animations,CSS, Paths and Filters from ksvg..
It would have been nice for them to drive to finish off core existing features
Shouldn't it just be a 3.3.2 as the only major new feature I can see is XSL, xpath and editing support for khtml and a few async speed ups here an there (dbus anyone?)
A plug-in is something that integrates with a product.
Something that a product integrates with is a library. so libjpg is a library.
If you give the user the a choice of what to open the data with then it's not really a plugin anymore because the intergration is working both ways.
Most people given a choice will make one and not get too pissed off, infact they'll probably be happy knowing somethings happened.
I would also expect that a number of people have hit the reset switch thinking their computer has crashed, when it's just opening a pdf with acrobat.
There are much better free jvm's than suns one, so people should be given the choice. There are also much faster PDF readers than acrobat, and probablty alternitaves to flash.
Chances are everything will start to go SVG (maybe 5 years!) and you can ditch flash and Acrobat.
I get annoyed when firefox decides to download a file when the application I want to open it in supports streaming, I know I can probably fix it, but I shouldn't have to.
I get pissed of when I accidental click on a pdf file and then have to wait for a week because the browser has let Acrobat embed itself.
We don't need less choice we need more choice...
Now all the browsers have to do to work around the patent (and do some innovating at the same time) is use heuristics on the choices that I've made to pick which applied or plug-in to use, which of-corse I patented yesterday.
There's a hell of a lot more than just a few frameworks, say documentation, refactoring tools and testing tools, some of which exist as 'free' projects but they don't tend to be as complete or support all languages and some companies won't even touch it unless they own it, just incase.
There's also a lot more stuff out their then there used to be, no thanks to my employers though!
I have worked for one company that was quite happy for my to use and improve OSS but it's quite seems rare.
I seem to remember a story (don't have a link) about a guy who thought up something while he was employed company X. when he went to market his idea company X said that they owned it because he was working for them at the time.
Like, when I do work and invent things it's usually the company I work for that gets to keep my inventios.
What would be nice is if I could take a little portfolio of tools and libraries around with me, It seems stupid to waste time writing the same kind of libraries every time I start working for a new company.
We've now moved to 'chip+pin' in the uk for credit card transactions. This means that you type or pin number into a little box in full view of everyone in the cueue.
What ever happened to never tell anyone you pin number.
I should imagine that you could use the length of the keyboard loops in the pin entry box to work out the pin number remotley.
Then all you have to do is mug the person, when they pretend they don't know their pin it's ok, because you do, so not even a GBH charge for beating it out of them.
I shouldn't imagine they've used anything better than 56bit encrypition on the chips either, so you should be able to brute force in a couple of days or so.
With a bar at the top/left/right/bottom of the screen that displays the status of loading applications. It's enough to tell people whats going on without getting in their way.
You could even put a few bars under the mouse pointer if you wanted something a little more in your face.

Ah.. I see we have a 10year old genius.
Keyboard logger as a noun could be one word.
Keyboard logger as a job would be two.

don't relly on passwords use things like RSA secureid cards.
The basicly generate a new psudo random number every 20 seconds, you login with your id, your 'password' and the random number.
That way users can pick weak passwords, backed up with one that changes every 20 seconds.
