Here is my logo entry. At least IMHO, it is better than at least some of the nominations (especially if I'd gotten a chance to polish it up a little more: I had to rush myself just to make the gimp contest deadline).
I thought you were talking about the shortcut arrows for a minute, but you must've been talking about the resize arrows. If they are just like Windows' arrows, I didn't really notice. They seem to be drawn to match enlightenment's default mouse pointer, and that default mouse pointer doesn't look like anything in Windows at all.
No, those arrows are drawn by gmc, which is really part of gnome. That doesn't change how silly and pointless the debate over whether KDE or GNOME looks more like Windows is, though...
Let me tell you a little story about my little brother playing Quake2:
He plays on a Redhat 6 machine, dual p3 450, 128 mb ram. He used to play on a Voodoo2 card. It would freeze. And I mean freeze BAD. Sometimes you could telnet in and "killall quake2" to fix things, but sometimes the machine would be locked up so bad YOU COULDN'T EVEN DO THAT! So, we both got pretty sick of this. We go to the Fry's in Tempe and buy a Mystique G200 AGP 8MB. As soon as I put the card in, install the g200-glx rpm, and switch quake2 over to ref_glx.so, we get NO PROBLEMS (other than the mouse not working, but that's quake2's fault:). No more lockups. No more awkward scripts that require open and switchto to be setuid root.
They call Linus the creator of the "Linux OS" when clearly he is only the creator of the kernel. People are going to get this idea that one single college student sat down and wrote the (original version) of the entire OS. What about GNU, XFree86, BSD, etc.?
The very standard and obvious answer to cope with this is to chroot() the samba server (which you must do anyway if you absolutly don't want risking samba bugs exploits exporting the whole filesystems).
AFAIK, that would only work if each smbd process is dedicated to a single share (which is not the case).
No, it doesn't recurse. After some more thought on this, I think a chdir() then a getcwd() really is the way to go about it (I'm still trying to figure out why you need three of them, though...).
The readlink() function tells you both whether a given file is a symlink and where the symlink goes, so testing whether something is a symlink could indeed be a possibility.
Say I put/home/samba on as a public SMB share. Also say that there is a symlink called "root" in this directory that points to/. Then someone accessing this share can "cd root" to access the whole filesystem. Setting "wide links = no" prevents this by causing samba to check if symlinks are outside the share before following them. However, NT4 doesn't have symlinks at all anyway, so in comparing the two, it is acceptable to just delete all symlinks from SMB shares (or at least all those that point outside the share).
It may not belong there, but it is definitely not a threat.
Eric is referring to the idea that MS might only be releasing any source at all in order to help themselves out in their little antitrust case, saying that a half-assed release will not accomplish anything to that end.

Wasn't the use of freon banned worldwide?
AFAIK, CMYK support is one of those patent minefields. In that case, you won't be seeing the gimp support CMYK any time soon...
This actually doesn't seem to bad, considering they pretty near doubled the included manuals and more than doubled included support.
You can find support under linux for those HP "for windows" printers here:

I'd buy Halflife for Linux. So, I went over and voted for them to focus on Linux games. What is the problem here?

Let me sum it up for you:
voodoo2: weird, unpredictable lockups. retarded scripts.
g200: works perfectly (even after the driver has only been in development a very short time). no retarded scripts. no setuid open and switchto.
Any questions?
I just compiled 2.2.8 not too long ago, and I don't recall seeing anything in "make menuconfig" related to USB. Kernel 2.2.7-ac4 had it, though.
I put some debs of the new kernel up at my ftp server. They don't have SCSI, SMP, or ISDN, but they've got most everything else.
I have converted the .rpm to a .deb with alien and put it up on ftp at 150.135.194.252
3dfx really seems to be having trouble getting a working OpenGL ICD for Windows for Quake3 out the door on time...
Once you pick those random numbers, you have to find the closest primes to them. AFAIK, a simple invocation of bc isn't going to do that...
I found this map. Maybe it will clear things up on this issue:

Just attach a working executable to your email, and you'll still be an arms trafficker in the context of this ruling.

Can a driver be incorporated into the Video for Linux project?
Will these companies reveal the workings of their cards?
I want to use it with X and Linux.
A "yes" to the first question depends on a "yes" to the second.

You can get a lot more money from big video game and porn companies than the parents of some 14 year old psycho.
Just remember this: it's irrelevant whose fault it is; the only thing that matters is who has the most dough.

(laughing out loud) It won't be a problem. I've sure done my best to keep them in your face up until now, haven't I?
