I know what you mean, when ever Fedora is discussed on Slashdot any more it's like: Slashdot == Stupidity in numbers!
I WANT bleeding edge. I crave the next release. I'm more than happy to play around the latest stuff and file away at bug reports. All of my issues with FC2 were fixed within a week, that's not that bad.
If anyone has a complaint that the bugs are being fixed in the latest and not the old one, BACKPORT! If you want it, you do it. Anyhow, kind of my point, this is community software, people here are interested in developing the cutting edge, if you're interested in maintaining by all means contribute!
I wouldn't be suprised if someone didn't try to take advantage of their situation, convince people to buy licensing and pull their money before it all comes tubbling down. I'm not saying he did, it'd be pretty stupid to try to pull something like this off with after Enron and with Martha Stuwart in court right now..
People are pretty stupid sometimes though, I'm not entirely immune myself though. I'm just not, say, Darl stupid.
I was under the impression that IBM had some right to use the Win16 architecture because they origionally consulted Microsoft to develop Windows for them. I don't really know, I just figured that was why they only supported Win16 when Win32 was just starting to become the next big thing at the time..
I still have a few boxes of OS/2 in my basement, lol.. I have a few copies of Word 2.0 if anyone's interested also, can be used to make great comparison reviews with OpenOffice! Office is a good application, I'm afraid java just blows. I've been using Abiword and Gnumeric for some time, I'm fairly happy.
This notebook is just a POS Acer with Ferrari's name stamped on it. He goes on about it's poor battery life but how you have to comprimise for a high proformance machine. This is nothing spectacluar, this is AMD's mobile chip, which I've heard runs pretty hot and sucks the juice down. This machine looks very thick, and is 7lbs, not very light.
Just because this thing has a car companies logo on it and is painted steal me red, doesn't mean it's a good machine.
This are encoded files by a Windows tab software.. I want to be able to download the guitar tabs for the songs, and this is really the only way to get it..
(and I could learn music, but music is even harder to find than the tabs)
I agree. I've already order one, although for $199 at my developer discount. I ordered it because they're aluminum now, not shity plastic. The biggest problem with the last model was that the mirroring on the back looked like garbage after a few months, this won't have that problem. I'm not too concerned about the space, my last MP3 player was 32mb not upgradable, granted I got it for $30 after rebate in 1999. I actually got decent use out of it even though it'd only hold a few songs at a time.. I'd probably only add a few at a time on this too, simily because I don't regularly listen to my collection, I'm bored with all of it.
If anyone's interested I have a HP rack with wheels and side doors, front and back rackable, 14U is just right to fit under your desk if you don't have any drawers.. If anyone's interested email me at address below:
To: comments@icann.org; registrar-info@icann.org; antitrust@ftc.gov Subject: Verisign's Unfair Wildcard DNS
I think this change in the global DNS is unfair to competetion in the registration, hosting, advertising and search engine businesses. This feature gives them an unfair advantage over any of their competetors for many internet services. I think this should be stopped immediately and I think the ICANN organization should more strictly control what registration companies can and cannot do. The Internet was essentially created on the.COM and.NET TLD's and giving Verisign complete control over them is like handing them the Internet. Please respond with action and stop this unfair practice from happening.

Great early nighties Sci-Fi.. Most of humanity was nearly wiped out and we servive in these energy domes to fend off mutunts.. alright, doesn't sound so good now that I discribed it, but it was definently under appreciated.
What we need is a Arnold telemarketer responder. "I don't like you!" "You know what?!" "Who's your daddy?"... This might not accomplish too much but it's a riot! Must have speaker phone so everyone can laugh at telemarketer when they call at dinner. This would be great entertainment, I would be waiting by the phone for a telemarketer!!
Rejected, resent, whatever..
<BR>
<BR>We don't want this! And Microsoft <B><I>KNOWS</I></B> we don't want it. Their entire marketing stategy depends entirely on their ability to brainwash dim witted Americans and this still Amazes me after all of these years.
<BR>
<BR>They have enough power now controling the most widely used desktop OS for consumers, just imagine if they had control of our information, our banks, government websites.. They want all of this, and they'll stop of nothing to get it. They're starting it right now with all of the new stuff in XP, they slowly slip in new evil code and introduce it so you're not immediatly repused.
<BR>
<BR>Look at Internet Explorer for example. I've used this for 5 years (until recently as Mozilla build have greatly improved) and I've always wondered why the hell when I type something stupid it forwarded me so some asp on msn.com. I would have loved to edit that out of the registry just because it has that potential to become MSEvil 1.0 but I never could find it. (I don't believe it's in the registry, it appears to be hard coded into IE, don't take my word on it though) About two weeks ago when I typed something stupid it reports it to MSN and tells me what I most likely wanted and does a MSN search. I'm not running MSN Explorer (hell no!), I thought I was running just plain old Internet Explorer but it appears I can't run that anymore..
<BR>
<BR>Luckily Mozilla is really becoming a well rounded peice of software now so this doesn't pose a problem. This doesn't always work though. I'm still running Outlook and I'm a bit afriad of what they have hidden (laying dormat) in there. I really havn't found anything as an alternative yet that can handle the amount of email I receive daily. (around 300+ messages, most of which I need to save and archive) So, until then, who know if I'm being watched, I don't know whats in that source anymore than the other guy..
<BR>
<BR>I appoligize for the long message, however I feel this rant was well founded after years of enduring Microsoft software. Linux is calling, and I mean REALLY calling, I use it through SSH all day, but I still don't have the software I need to all me to move altogether.

Slashdot Mirror
Preposterousness aside, I wish Wink were open source. Being only "free" and not free as in speech really limits it's potential.
Here's a GPL'ed program that has the same function and works via VNC, however it is not nearly as polished as Wink:
