  1. Partition Image on Ghost for Unix · · Score: 5, Informative

    There is also partition image which is more advanced imo.

  2. Re:Essential FOR blogging on Essential Blogging · · Score: 1

    The future version might well support post handling. Right now it deligate all those to the blog service providers. The new version I'm working on will store all your post, so it would be possible to add the capability of uploading pages in the future.

  3. design then code on Are Written Computer Science Exams a Fair Measure? · · Score: 1

    Code on paper is a great way to test that you can design before you code. You can no longer just hammer in code bit by bit and hope it stick. It's really not about the coding they are testing, even if you got the api wrong (spelling, or something minor) they not going to penalize you for it. One of my subject even allow us to bring an api reference into the exam.

    What they really testing is the ability for you to:
    1. Know what the problem is
    2. Design a solution to the problem
    3. Break down the design and put it into code

    Through design it allow us to make better codes that actually solves the problem and period. Its ridiculous how many assignment (where people hammer in code before design) got so many bells and whistles (ascii animation for an atm program? anyone) that the main focus of the assignment is lost.

  4. Re:Well done to the team (again) but.. on Mozilla 1.1 Alpha Released · · Score: 1

    * When you click on some links, it doesn't go to the destination.. and it just displays a picture off of the current page! Hit Refresh and you finally go on your way.

    If you have pipelining enabled you might want to disable it until this is fixed.

  5. Missing the point of text ads on Slashdot IRC Forum · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Text ads in metafilter are very effective because
    1. Not annoying
    2. cheap (relatively)
    3. interesting

    People (ie. users) pay to put text ads on slashdot. You don't have to charge much, given the popularity of slashdot everyone would want to have their ad on it, for they company, they blog, their site or what ever. Text ads generate money through quantity in numbers of advertisers not in money per ad.

    You could have people pay for text ads on front page (cost more) or by category. Have it as a slashbox, people who choose to subscribe can close it, while the rest of "us" (Thats include me) can have the ads while skimming through slashdot.

    Just make a good payment queue so you can have a diy system.

  6. I just want them to play fair on If IBM Is Serious About Linux, What Do WE Want? · · Score: 1

    Instead of providing solutions branded just 'linux'
    they should help promote the projects/distribution that made the solution possible. So we dont have another redhat, or valinux give the impression of been 'the linux company'.
    We want to be part of a independant community with commercial companies support. Instead of a company with community support.

  7. best time to move in. on Microsoft Making Internet Appliance Chips · · Score: 1

    Microsoft have planned this for a while now in my opinion, and it is the best time for them to move into the chip industry. Since intel still lack the support of windows 2000 on their 64 bit platform (which they need), they dont have any choice but let microsoft taking a piece of share in the microprocessors market.
