Since no one seems to know what the hell any of this (.NET) is, I've decided to take a few minutes of my time to provide accurate and concise definitions of the mysterious terms.
mono. mono as in monopoly. as in ximian assists microsoft in retaining and expanding its monopoly.
It doesn't matter if you reply to spam or not. The spammer still knows that your account is real, because if it weren't, the server would rejet his message. However, he doesn't know if anyone actually reads the account.
There is one big problem with having the menubar at the top of the screen.
If your window manager is in point-to-select mode, when you try to go to the menubar of your application you would inadvertently switch which window is the active window. Then the menubar would be for the wrong program.
I'm using Rock Linux, and they crash quite frequently, although Xine (0.4.3) seems more stable, but I don't know how to get CSS working in Xine. Video Lan doesn't save its settings which makes it pretty unusable.
I've had a similar experience. None of the software is stable enough yet, and it makes me wonder how people without hardware acceleration are watching their movies.
I have a sneaking feeling that the author used SLOC Count by David Wheeler to determine the number of source lines of code--particulaly because of the cost-to-develop estimations that the article mentions. Even if he didn't, this is a nifty tool.
This sounds like the ripe time to make some money. All you have to do is produce a DVD player with these features:
Front panel region selection
No macrovision
Disc script ignoring
Lock-out ignoring
Decent quality
The script and lock-out things are necessary because some (most?) DVD's have annoying "splash" scenes that play when you pick options. Or the scripts verify regions. Also many movies don't let you fast forward (FCC warnings), pause, rewind, etc.!!
Remember when the word hacker used to mean someone who breaks into networks or writes code? And crackers were the ones who cracked the copy protection on software and had the "s3r1a1 #'s". They were always grouped with anarchy, virii, and wares all over the net.
Who cares if "good" and "bad" hackers are called hackers? Most people can understand who you are if you take two minutes to explain which type you are . . . people are surprisingly able to understand these things if someone explains them to them. Most people are willing to listen; just talk to them.
...considering that the developers have been learning how to write a browser at the same time as they have been constructing it: Netscape's code was scrapped. And how many mozilla components have been rewritten twice? Or three times?
Real tough. Look at what Aimster has going for itself:
The phrase "Can't touch this!" is prominently displayed on Aimster's home page. I don't know about you, but I doubt that the RIAA can counter such a profound statment.
"The servers are UP!" Ouch! Are the RIAA's servers up? If they are, they don't say they are!!
The woman on the website sure has some politcal clout right there. Take that RIAA!
The cardboard box had excellent screen shots of the game, and the UPC label had flawless printing: when I bought the game, the price came up immediately and accurately! The M3 error message dialogue boxes were flawlessly rendered and they even used my custom color settings. Also, as is not the case with most applications, my default settings of large fonts did not cause the dialogue box's error messages to be unreadable.
Sound 1/10
The windows "beep" was very entertaining to hear with each crash of M3.exe. I even customized it so that I could hear something different each time I played!
Gameplay 1/10
Sadly, the game crashed quite frequently. However, clicking the "OK" button in the error messages was fast and responsive.
Unfortunately, a known bug prevented me from reading the end credits (best part of it). But UBISOFT said, "Don't worry! It'll be fixed in the upcoming patch! But dont' worry, you're not missing anything." But I was. I wanted the name of every developer who let this crappy product get released so I could call him and express to him my feelings regarding this "game."
Value 1/10
Perhaps this game should have been shipped on CD-RW discs so that I could have actually used them. However, the CD's get points for meeting ISO9660's strict requirements, and the upgrade patch file exe I downloaded was virus free.
Volume 10/10
I'm referring to the volume of the cardboard box.
The box was ten times larger than necessary. This is certainly a good value. Not only did I get a big box, it came chock full of free air. Now I won't have to go to my local gas station for its free air for a long time.
Although MacOS has gone through ten major revisions, there are still plenty of dangerous potential security problems.
For example, IP over FireWire gives an attacker more than enough bandwidth to execute a serious denial-of-service attack from up to 100 meters away, and without degrading his or her or its video camera feed of you picking your nose at the computer, thanks to isochronous transfers. Add USB and AirPort to the mix and you've got some major potential security issues! But don't worry about good ol' IDE; his cable length is less than 3 feet.
Seriously though, if the default browser is still Internet Explorer, that program itself could be the biggest security hole of all.
Okay, I downloaded the file (very fast!). Now what the hell do I do with it???? I can't watch quicktime movies on linux!!
Also, the downloader is very "tricky." When I clicked "close," all that happened was it minimized itself and pretended to be closed--but it was really stealthily serving up data!
Okay, I thought. So then I tried closing this app with my window manager...no dice! That is rather not nice. I had to do a killall java. But I think this thing is still lurking somewhere (after all, I gave it full root access like a good newbie should to all his programs, like red carpet;0)
Slashdot Mirror
even http!
by using gopher exclusively you can't possibly get hit by these things.
yeah they should have had that red code worm attack goatse.cx instead of the white house heh heh
Seriously, what the hell is

I clicked:
Good idea.
By banning the letter "k", distributions would have to refer to their "kernel" package by its real name---Linux! It almost makes too much sense!
As a corollary, maybe they would then call their distributions something besides "Linux". Perhaps "operating system".
Is this (optimise) a new spelling? (It's spelled this way many times in the article.)
Rock Linux uses the Device Filesystem by default.
I don't care if you call your filesystem fooFS; please don't call it BarFS.
I need one for 0.4.3. Captain only has through 0.3.7.

Not only that but the game is called the "manhattan project"!
and sound better to send the sound directly to your brain. (In the future.)

If you see this http://mozilla.org/roadmap/mozilla-1.0.html document you'll see that there are only about 400 bugs to be fixed for 1.0, which is good news.
The mozilla developers are working on a very significant project, and I am glad that they're taking their time to make it a high-quality product.According to Alan Cox, the VM system seems (finally) sane now (since 2.4.4-ac10). Check out Alan's full changelog for extreme details of changes at http://www.uwsg.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel /0105.2/1618.html.
Your double-click speed, combined with mouse acceleration, velocity, and number of buttons is practically a DNA fingerprint of your computer!
