Why don't Linux people use Java (let alone non-Linux users)?
Its crappy.
What??? That flamebait comment was moderated up to Insightful?
Then, it's sadly true. The linux-users amongst the Moderators don't like Java at all...
But I would have hoped they had better arguments then that. *Sight*
Wow. Kuddo to your intrepid self!
Do you also use Mozilla as your email client? Is it confortable or should I wait another few nightly builds before trashing my Gig or so of filed NS4.x emails?
I don't enjoy Microsoft, so I scoop
up microsoft.sucks when the new domains come out, and what happens? More than likely, Microsoft will sue me for trademake infringment.
Just buy really.sucks, and you're done.
Then you can play with microsoft.really.sucks, guiness.really.sucks,... and of course WIPO.really.sucks!

So why don't they fix it and release the final trailer?
Don't tell us they are still working on it 6 weeks from the release date on December 8th...

Keep in mind that the header of an encrypted email is not encrypted. So if you send an encrypted email to one of your fellow terrorist friends, don't be surprise if the Feds show up at your secret rendez-vous because the Subject of your email was "Bombing preparation notes for Oct 28th, Union Square, SFO".
If somebody out there does not know what to do for the next two weeks, I suggest he tries to compile KDE 2.0 on AIX... I'll send him Pizza vouchers if he succeeds!
While many people have mentioned Handhelds.org, I just thought I'd point out that Transvirtual is working on PocketLinux, a Linux distribution
for handhelds, and is initially targeting the V-Tech Helio and the iPaq. Information at wwww.pocketlinux.com.
The only thing I like in IE over NS is the easier method to manage bookmarks. You can right clock on the bookmark menu at delete one or move it around. In NS you have to "edit bookmarks".
I happen to be running Mozilla build id:2000092908 (the same build than NS6pr3), and I can edit my bookmarks with right clicks and the like. Obviously, in Netscape 6 pr3, the feature is also there, but not enabled by default. To turn it on, go to Tabs in My Sidebar and click on Customize Sidebar..., then unfold Recommended and add Bookmarks. From now on, you'll be able to edit your bookmarks à-la-IE, or better à-la-Mozilla!
The concept was originally invented by two Swiss researchers, and was announced 1 1/2 year ago in Nature.
I thought it was a joke because it was released on April 1st, 1999...
The moron answer to this is: Unplug Your PC from the net, oh oh oh!
Funny thing is, it can be done while still connected:
Run your browser from within a VMWare (or clone) guest hosted by the Linux installation you want to protect.
Or run the Linux installation you want to protect inside VMWare and browse from your host OS that you don't mind being compromised (you're only using it to watch DVD and play Diablo anyway).
I'm beginning to think that our descendants will look back on the DeCSS debacle in much same
way that we remember, say, the rebellion at Harper's Ferry.
What's an Harper's Ferry? Can we eat it? Is it a new shot gun? A pr0n movie? A baptist church?
I am afraid most of our highly-cultured descendants will not remember it...
>> Ulysses is the Roman name for Odysseus
> Ulysses is Virgil's name for Odysseus.
Both of you are wrong, buddies.
First, the letter y does not exist in the Roman alphabet, so it is impossible for Ulysses to be the Roman translation or Virgil's name for anything.
Secondly, Ulysses is the English name for the Greek warrior Ulysseus who got some GPS problems on his way back from the Trojan war.
Third, the Odysseus is the name for the epic masterpiece written by the mystic poet Homer to describe Ulysses' journey back home. And no, I don't know what the Roman version is, and I don't care because it is as much relevant to the case as knowing the Turkish version or the Armenian one.
Finally, this must be said at least once on/.: Virgil is big bastard who stole nearly all of his stories from ancient Greece. If he was still alive now, he would be in even deeper shit than 2600 or Napster.
I am good with software, I am good with pc hardware, I am good with any VCR and I managed to handle all the dishwashers I have come across. All this without having to RTFM. I am rarely confused by an electonic device and I enjoy that a lot.
... And every 6 months when I have to use one of my friends' cellphone, I'm at a lost. But I am extremely happy about that as well!
The same thing happened to Metacrawler and that wonderful search engine began is slow but steady downhill fall.
I have been using metacrawler for more than 5 years, when it was still a university research project. I use to say it was the smartest of all the search engines because it was the laziest: it simply forwards the requests to the other search engines, analyses their work, and returns the 10 best results. During five years, it never failed me. I use to think "If it can not be found on Metacrawler, DejaNews or FtpSearch, it is not on the net." Well, this is not true anymore, because now Metacrawler gives me more and more garbage, though, not (yet) as much as the other search engines.
*Sigh*
The thing that I really enjoy the most is the Search as a Phrase feature. I used to find everything with it. For example, to find
acronyms: search for "KGB stands for" as a phrase, and you'll discover that it means Komitet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosti (try to find the same thing on another search engine! No way)
specific definitions: search for "CORBA est un" as a phrase, and you'll be able to explain your work to your French cousin who is visiting you next week.
Ain't that cool? If someone out there knows a search engine as powerful as this one, please let me know. I'm ready to switch.
Other large commercial DBs require you to set the sa password as part of the installation process.
I just installed the latest Oracle 8i software with the Typical Install and this is what I got:
SYS password: change_on_install
SYSTEM password: manager
At least, they warned me, but it would have been slightly better if they had prompted me for a new password. Maybe I should have selected the Custom/Advanced Install.
Websphere Standard Edition (WSE) is Apache (currently 1.3.12) + HTML-based customization front-end + a JSP/Servlet. Open-sourcing their work is moderately useless because the enhancement they made to Apache has already been back-ported and their JSP engine is way behind the current spec level and hence not much interesting for developers who want to play with the latest stuff.
WebSphere Advanced Edition is WSE + an Enterprise JavaBeans container. We slashdotters don't need to know more about it because it is not going to be open-sourced and - to say it politely - it still needs some work (not yet compliant with the EJB1.1 spec, has proprietary features, requires even more memory that M$ Word in auto-saving mode, etc)
WebSphere Enterprise Edition is WSE (not WAE, mind you) + another EJB server from IBM. The same functionality in two different products: talk about confusing the customer! The license price being outrageously high I have yet to find someone who has ever used it, so I am not going to comment about this one, though I heard it was a (academically) interesting mix of C++ CORBA code and Java objects.

Please give some respect to the Blackdown guys and their fabulous work. Thanks to them, I can run my Advanced Imaging servlets on Linux!
And by the way, most of the ISPs who offer Servlet hosting run Linux. Isn't that enough proof?
But what's 2048 used for? A Trojan?

You should upgrade to Linux 6.2 and program in Gnome.
