A few years ago I worked at a company that did all their invoices with Filemaker and I
had the task of updating the whole thing, both the look and adding/removing data fields.
I never had worked with databases but found Filemaker a breeze to work with.
You obviously have never used older versions that had no concept of relationships before. What a friggin' nightmare pain in the ass. You had to write logic *IN THE FIELDS THEMSELVES* too. YUCK.
Everything we had to do with filemaker we had to pull some trick to do it. I was so happy leaving that job.
Did I give the impression I thought gmc was good? I deeply apologize:) I *HATE* gmc...and I *HATE* that the kde team went with a GMC of their own with Konqueror.
Now I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to run kfm even with kde2 installed.
This sucks! I really had high hopes for kde, but that's all gone now *sigh*
That's because Nautilus, gmc, etc. aren't designed very well. In a good object model, it would actually be faster to do common tasks using the GUI. Nautilus and Konqueror screwed that up, big time.
It troubles me to see first Konqueror, and now Eazel chasing the whole windoze file management nightmare.
KFM was elegant, easy to configure, and every directory or object kept track of its own settings. With konqueror, we lost a lot of that as it became more of an application than a file manager.
Sometimes simplicity is a good thing. Both KDE and Gnome are losing sight of that. Instead of having a slick, elegant filemanager that seamlessly integrates several other parts of the environment, we are ending up with a big ugly mess that isn't an efficient way to work.
Just my former OS/2 WPS view rearing its ugly head again. The developers creating these environments could learn a lot by reading this.
This isn't really that surprising. IBM has always had great vision on new ideas, but couldn't market it to save its life.
Look at OS/2 Warp as an example. Always was years beyond anything microsoft did (or has yet to do, even).
Now that OS/2 is not being sold anymore, IBM is using linux as its desktop 'solution' (remember, IBM is a solutions provider). This is a very good thing, IMHO. All the things IBM did ahead of everyone else in OS/2 will now be done ahead of everyone else in linux.
I was wondering the same thing. I have *NEVER* used X as root. Hell, I never even log in as root. That is what su - is for! If you have an X environment even configured for root, you are wrong!

Don't fool yourself for a second -- Microsoft's biggest mistake was that it wasn't using a more
secure firewall to protect it's local machines - these machines should have been INVISIBLE to
the entire internet, only available to MS's intranet.
They probably were. But after getting 'the list' one has only to do a phonesweep of M$'s phone numbers, and then access to the internal network is simply a matter of finding the RAS server.
The big bad internet isn't the biggest problem. It's attacks from 'inside.' Dialup lines are a major vulnerability that are often overlooked.
Slightly off topic, but as long as we are talking about excite/@home:
Is anybody else getting a ridiculous amount of spam from gstreet245@excite.com? I have complained to abuse@excite.com no less than 3 times, and it still keeps rolling in.
Is this excite themselves spamming me? One more, and I'll just put a rule on my mailserver, but this is really getting annoying.
Run your own mail server and use dyndns. That's what I did. It's great having full control of everything I do with the 'net (except, of course, the connection itself).
could go on for days here. My point is not to argue that there is no God (or gods, etc),
just that trying to argue such existence from "intelligent design" is a dead end, since
much of our design has not been done so intelligently.
If our design is to entertain, then we are, indeed, intelligently designed.

WHERE IS THE WPS FOR LINUX????
That's all I have to say on the subject.
Isn't this obvious to the french?

And it also had Carrie-Anne Moss in a nice tight t-shirt most of the movie, and even nude at the start :)
Why does he want the records? Of all students, no less?

SHeeeeeesh! It's friggin' MIDNIGHT. What is wrong with those people?
whoah, Bo Derek just came onstage
Bet that was fun to watch :)

HTML::EmbPerl with Mod_Perl works beautifully for me here. The bottleneck is not in the execution of the code. It is in your bandwidth.
Here's a link
What about the excellent HTML::Embperl? I've used this to rapidly develop all sorts of dynamically generated web pages. It uses Mod_Perl to boot.

I wish these game programmers knew how to get some sort of performance out of their code like the demoscene programmers do (did?)

So how did they define what was/was not a pornographic site? Pretty subjective. The statistics are probably meaningless.
