Double click is indeed not intuitive.
It probably comes from MacOS since Apple
has always been using one-button mouse.
But even MacOS sometimes needs to bind
more than one event to a mouse click.
Unix GUI traditionally avoids double
clicks in favor of binding events
to different mouse buttons.
The question about double click is
valid and logical. Don't make fools
from those who ask it.
I don't want the government to process
data about me
using the software that neither me
nor the goverment can audit for security.
Even if proprietary software works faster
or (seemingly) more reliably,
there is no guarantee there are no backdoors.
I trust my data to the government but not
to every coorporation they happen to
buy software from.
"Mosaic descendents" means MSIE.
I can easily imagine that MyNetscape
was fitted to work with most popular
browsers including MSIE. Unfortunately,
it's not always possible to make
every browser happy.
Why don't distribuations like Ximian suggest this change?
Perhaps they are busy writing better software.
But IBM is suggesting a very radical change
that would eliminate jiffies completely.
A good summary is
here
An empty 7.1 directory has been seen on mirrors
for days, so I expected it to be released soon.
In the meantime I tried their latest beta,
Wolverine. To my great surprise,
is supports kernels with devfs, although
not without glitches.
Another nice thing - it installs in text mode
on top of VESA framebuffer. I think it's
100x37 characters or so - more space on
screen to select packages and partition the hard drives.
a person who's browser is localized for
the US could type "nike.com" and be
automagically redirected to "nike.co.us".
It would be very hard to maintain the
structure of the national sites synchronized.
For example, I put a link on my page to
http://nike.com/stuff/ which resolves to
http://nike.co.us/stuff/ in my browser.
Then some person from Germany visits my page,
clicks on the link
and goes to http://nike.co.de/stuff/ which
doesn't exist, and reports broken
link to me, not to Nike.
One of the greatest thing about the web is that
URLs are universal resource
locators.
>The energy from oil isn't put in it by the refinery or processing.
The energy is not. The enthropy is.
The second law of thermodynamics is about enthropy.
It's much easier to mix oil and other stuff than to separate them.
Doesn't "Open Universe" sound confusingly
similar to OpenGL?
We are just lucky that "Universe" has no "L",
or SGI would sue the entire Universe
for being open.

I wonder if somehow, something bad will eventually
happen to Microsoft and cause it to shrink into
underdog status, just like it happenned to IBM.
I envision M$ advocating GNU/Hurd in Times Square
and voting for copyright protection built-in into
microwave owens and toasters. Maybe in 2011.
How about improving "apm -s" so I don't need to manually
unload my cs sound driver
There is already an API for power management events.
It looks like your driver is not using it correctly.
Other sound drivers register a callback for PM events
and save the device state when going to suspend.
It's a minor driver issue. You don't need to be a
core hacker and OS architect to fix it.
Lucent cards don't support 128-bit
encryption. The allowed key length
can be 5 bytes (40 bits) or
13 bytes (104 bits).
I admit that 104-bit encryption
is as hard to break as 128-bit
encryption now, but Lucent
is exaggerating the card's
cryptographic strength by
a factor of 2**16=65536.
Not good!

Both PC speaker and AWE 64 are ISA devices. Perhaps you meant more modern hardware.
You have missed JFFS and JFFS2 - journaling flash filesystems. Both are in the kernel (2.4.4-ac2).

What if more than one person wants to make a parody site for Slashdot? Who gets slashdot.parody? First come, first served? Sounds like "first post".
