I'd look to see if you can find the webpage of the LUG that's probably on campus and e-mail them. Haven't been at school for a while, but in my experience the LUG always knew the details of what could be done and what couldn't.
Honestly, I'm not sure. I originally tried to set up the client, but I ran into some of the same problems that wildjim is having. Basically that I couldn't get enough space. My home directory is about 40GB, so I'd need to have atleast that much cached. It is just a guess that the solution would be putting a server on the laptop -- I'm not sure how'd it work out.
I've always wanted Coda to work for this, but I haven't ever gotten it working. My current thinking is that I'd need to set up a server on my laptop, and then have the client talk to the local server. Then the two servers could sync.
Does anyone have any information or case studies on how to make this work for a small network? Easy conversion tools? It seems like the ideal solution to me, but getting it to work seems difficult.
Or a follow up, now that Adobe has decided not to maintain their SVG viewer is there a chance of getting that code into IE mainline? I'm betting Adobe would sell it for cheap.
I do consider the lack of SVG support a critical failing of IE7. SVG is a huge step towards making the web a more beautiful place. The compeating standard is Flash, which doesn't help Microsoft. It would seem that adopting SVG would help Microsoft's design suite.
Seriously, the biggesting then that helped me write better was doing my thesis. The idea that I couldn't "just be happy with a C", it was "I won't graduate until it is good enough". Constant revising. If you can figure out how to put this into a class, you'll be golden.
The problem isn't that Engineers aren't smart enough to write, they just don't care about writing:)
I know that several people are asking for Linux support, and I echo that. But, I'd like to go further and ask about the possibility of specific Linux support, namely Maemo support.
Maemo is the version of Linux that is going to run in the upcomming Nokia 770 which will be a cool little tablet. I think it would be absolutely steallar to be able to play Civilization on this device, all over my house, while watching TV, etc.
So, is it possible that there will be Linux support in Civ IV? Maemo support? If not, why not? Support costs? Development costs? Both?
Not off hand, but if you rendered it with a very large dpi you would minimize the effects of the anit-aliasing. Then you could just reduce the file's size afterwards. Wouldn't be perfect, but you'd get sharper lines.
Actually, this same thing happened to me. I, somehow, got put on the auto-renew list -- which means that they'll hire a collection agency to get their $12. Absolutely rediculous. Anyway, I've cancelled, Wired has said they'd talk to the collection agency, they haven't. I'm still trying to get them off my back (4 months). I would never subscribe to Wired again.
Does Inkscape have a plugin, and scripting capability?
Well, I'm working on it. Currently we can use external scripts that look to the user like they are fully integrated into the program. The scripts basically import/export SVG and then get pulled into Inkscape.
This is only the beginning.
The extensions architecture is designed to allow alot more flexibility than that - but it isn't very mature yet. The Javascript support is getting better, pretty soon plug-ins and scripting will be supported there. We hope to support many other languages also.
That was a long way to say - not quite yet, but it is on the short list.
Anyone tried this with MultiSync? It seems to provide the Palm to SyncML translation (and it will do Evolution). That would be a really cool solution if it'd work (I may have to try it now) -- but if anyone has experience that'd be great.
Screw that, I want to get someone rich's RFID - so that way they'll treat me like royalty when I walk in! That would be way cool. I don't want to block it, I want to use it for personal gain!
Members of the GNOME foundation get to vote for the board. Basically these are the people who contribute to GNOME. So, if you translate or code or give presentations to do with GNOME you can be a member. There is no charge or anything like that.
Considering Gates is responsible for BILLIONS of dollars going toward schools, scholarships, charitible work, health care improvements, etc, I highly doubt that.
Well, I would say that the marketing has worked on you. If you look at many of Gates' earlier statements, he doesn't believe in charitable giving or inheritance (or religon for that matter). But, all of these aren't very pallitable for the American populace. Gates' believes that everyone should be self made, and build their own wealth by themselves (I guess he's libertarian then?).
Anyway, Microsoft marketing started to see that he was considered evil by everyone - and most people associated Bill with Microsoft. Now he's got a foundation. A foundation that buys computers in India right after they agree to use Linux. A foundation that buys computers for schools, as long as they lock into Microsoft software. A foundation that offered to give computers to Liberia, but then analysis showed that with all the MS software they had to buy it was cheaper to buy the hardware.
I would hardly call the Gates' Foundation charitable in the traditional sense.
Yes, but if you fix a crash-causing bug (such as a buffer overrun) on one architecture, it's likely that the same bug was present on others. Or rather, would also cause a crash on other platforms - since a bug is a property of the source code, the meaning of the program, and the fact that a program happens to work on Tuesday doesn't mean the bug is not there.
Yes, but I was thinking more like endianness bugs and casting pointers to integers on 64-bit machines (yeah, there are still people who do this). Things like Altivec support would not pop up on x86 machines also.
But yes, things like buffer overruns and the such would be architecture independent.
From my reading of this, it sounds like the data is going to be architecture specific (i.e. x86, PPC). So that means that those hundreds of thousands of samples that are needed, would be needed for every architecture.
Hmph, mean they probably won't figure out why some programs are seemingly less stable on PPC:( But, I guess many bugs effect every architecture, so I can be happy about that;)
I have yet to be able to open a complex postscipt file in either of these, and edit them like I do in Illustrator 8, on a PII.
Yeah, I wouldn't say either is as good as Illustrator yet for all tasks. But I would say there are many tasks for many people that can be done with either of them. For most people they both have more than enough features.
I'm not sure that a better solution wouldn't be to implement all of the checkbook functions in GnuCash in GnuE. It seems like a more flexible framework for doing this kind of stuff. Plus it provides an architecture that a user can move up the 'business ladder' to eventually become enterprise size.
Now, mind you, I'm not volunteering - I have enough free software work right now. And, I'm still happily using GnuCash - but I still think it's a good idea:)
I heard a rumor that the GnuCash and GnuE folks were talking about getting together at one point, but that never worked out... bummer.
Damn it! I knew I should have read the fine print when I applied for that Target card - but I didn't realize it was going to cost me $3500!
Get a free smartcard reader
Now that's what I'm interested in. I want to be able to grab the numbers, and then change them. I want to be able to walk into a store and instead of "How did you like those pants?" I want it to say "How did you like those extra-large elephant sized condoms you bought last week?":)
There are just so many possibilities to hack these things and have tons of fun with retail stores if they use them for anything useful. Maybe I should start my own organization: The Anti-Datamine (TAD). And we'll go around trying to screw with all the data mining techniques out there.
Other way around

I guess I find this whole thing kinda scary, but for a different reason.
If any time you look at another peice of code, and then code something similar you are making a dirivative work - how much proprietary software should be covered by the GPL? This would mean that because I studied how Linux did scheduling, I couldn't ever work with any type of scheduling ever without GPLing it. It could even be taken to mean that anyone who has ever looked at GPL'd code could never develop proprietary software!
Now, I'm not a lawyer, but it seems that all of this has some scary consequences - not just for Linux. Sounds like I need to get a Law degree and work for the FSF, that's where the real money is going to be in the future:)

I surprised no one answered this.

I know that I'd love a @spamhaus.org address. I bet a spammer wouldn't touch one of those addresses with a 10' pole.
Cool. I didn't understand that from the documentation. Thanks for the explaination.

There's a few. Karbon and Sodipodi seem to be the most popular, but are not the only by far.

Just another tag onto that:
QAM is the modulation that they use for digital cable also. Most networks are QAM 64 today, going to QAM 256 in the future, sometime.
