  1. Ending a project is (was) not that easy. on How To Tell Open-Source Winners From Losers · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Ok, I confess. I'm one of the guys thats trashing sf.net.

    However, when I realized I would not have time to "finish" my small project (I had a working version up there though) I decided to remove the homepage, *and* the

    Now, callar me stupid but I did not manage. I looked over and over for a way to delete *my own* project but didn't manage. I looked a couple of days later and I then send an email to sf.net and explained the situation to them. What did I get in response? Nada, zip.

    This was maybe 18 months or so ago and maybe it's better now but my long-ago-abandoned program still sits at sf.net taking up space.

  2. Re:Compatibility on OpenOffice 2.0 Preview Release · · Score: 1

    If you really need it to render exactly the same as xxx then don't use .doc, .sxw (or the new .oot) or whatever format. Export as PDF.
    Its available for free in OO.

  3. Xbox2 Mod? on Xbox 2 Concept Designs Leaked? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    One of the most important things that has made XBOX a somewhat sucess is the ability to mod it.

    Now, if you are a student for example now you need only one machine and you get a DVD player, a computer and a game-console in one box. All for a few hundred american money (inkl. harddrive and modchip)

    If they want to continue to grow they must make the XBOX2 "moddable".

  4. Re:A review of a service pack on Windows XP SP2 Beta Reviewed · · Score: 0

    How about the one where you send a NastyProgram(TM), called it *.mid and Outlook (and/or OE) just executed it without checking what kind of file it really was?

  5. Why change then? on Mozilla Branding Strategy Clarified · · Score: 1, Insightful

    If the Firebird name is only for internal use etc, why was there a need to change?

    They changed from Phoenix because that was already taken, why is it diffrent with Firebird?

  6. SMP support on OpenBSD 3.2 Available · · Score: 0

    What I am waiting for? Just 3 things:

    1) SMP support
    2) SMP support
    3) SMP support

    Util that is in, its viurtually usless for me.

  7. Re:Where are the screenshots? on Borland Releases Kylix 3.0 for Delphi and C++ · · Score: 0

    Oh oh.! Better convert those jpeg's before anything nasty happens.

  8. EULA and GPL on Microsoft Media Player "Security Patch" Changes EULA Big Time · · Score: 0

    Don't get me wring here. I think many of todays EULA are a joke.

    However I was thinking. Many say that no EULA's would hold up in court because it was just "a click with a mouse". But is it not the same with GPL (and other licenses?)

    What if someone took a GPL program, modified it and sold it without offering the source in any form and simply said "I don't know what you mean, I didn't sign any contract where I agreed to anything as stupid as releasing my part of the code"

  9. "Glad Midsommar" on Gnome 2.0 RC2 Asks For Abuse · · Score: -1, Redundant

    For those who are not Swedish natives, "Glad Midsommar" means "Happy Midsummer"

    We celebrate this every year with tons of eat and drink.

  10. Re:Why not use pirated software? on Do You Pay for Your Shareware? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Correct. Theft is theft. What we are talking about here is not theft but piracy. Don't mix the two.

  11. Re:OT:When oh when will Debian 2.2 come out??? on Mandrake 7.1 Released · · Score: 1

    Easy. Since Debian is probably the dist that goes through the toughes testings before release it takes a bit longer. Debian also does not have the commerce intrest to release new versions once every 6 months. Result: A more stable and more secure dist. On the other hand, me and alot others have been using potato (2.2) for several months now without any problem.
