As it is now, GNU project can only be described as a huge success. My computer runs a completely free operating system, from the kernel to the desktop environment. It's all compiled with GCC (free) and edited with Emacs (free and awesome).
With all of those components in place... Is there a big, new project in the pipeline for GNU? A free social network - GNUbook, Gnitter, GNUedIn?
Forgive my ignorance, but what do you mean, exactly? How does using VNC help this as opposed to using x-forwarding?
It's probably something like this: Open VNC session, start application on remote, close session. Open VNC session, the app is still there as you left it. I'm not 100% sure if that's possible to do with X11.
The real problem is that the poorly handled introduction of KDE4 sent a lot of long-time KDE users to another desktop. Now there is a significant amount of inertia to overcome to get any us back since we've gotten used to something else and our current choice has not pissed us off. KDE-technowhiz alone won't do it.
Honestly the stupidity of people never ceases to amaze me. The 4.0 release had big, huge, honking warning labels telling everyone that this was the first release in the 4.x series and that the API was stable — and that you should avoid it at any costs if you were a regular user. Seriously, the only way the KDE people could have made the message even more clear, would involve replacing the zero in 4.0 with the goatse guy.
And there's a tip for everyone working on Gnome 3.0...
There's no pass by reference in Java, it's all pass by value. Yes, I'm a pedantic Coward
That can't be right. Passing everything by value would mean that an object modified simultaneously in two threads would get out of sync immediately. Also, a quick Google search shows that Java actually passes objects by reference. So much for pedantic cowards...
Yes, my pictures from the vacation 2009 might end up in the "vacation 2009" directory. It only becomes a problem when you also want to find all pictures from your vacations where James is present, or the beach pictures in 2009 and 2007 that has your wife in them and that you would rank 4/5 or higher.
One solution is to have a silly amount of directories, and doing hardlinks of images. That isn't very wife friendly, though. The tagging that KDE implements is a easy solution.
PS3s are big endian machines.
Xbox 360s are little endian.
Q.E.D They can't talk to each other.
Oh, right, that's why all of those PowerPC equipped Macs couldn't connect to networks and exchange information with my x86 Linux server: they had different endians.
No, actually, that's bullshit. There is absolutely no reason at all why the endian should matter. If a piece of software can't communicate with another because of different endians, the programmers should be dragged out into the woods and be shot.

Dude... You're talking about a company residing in Norway. The third largest export after oil and salmon is Black Metal. Which is kind of bizarre, as Norwegian is probably one of the most cheerful languages there is.
I think you're drawing the wrong conclusion. If a third-party publisher would create a game with the same high standards of Super Mario Galaxy or Metroid Prime 3, instead of bad PS2 ports or quick hackjobs... Don't you think they would sell tons and tons of them? The Wii is perfect for FPS games, moving from the clunky and worthless dual-analog control to a mouse+WASD compatible scheme. Despite that, noone has really bothered with doing anything for it other than Conduit.
Strange. I seem to recall the GNOME project being started because of KDE using the Qt toolkit, and then trying to catch up with KIOSlaves, DCOP, KParts and other superior technologies in the KDE camp.
Basically, it's a realtime distributed editor, but has a native format that saves who authored what. Works really well. http://www.codingmonkeys.de/subethaedit/
A decent API that isn't actually a pure pain to work with, and that works the same across the three major platforms: Unix+workalikes, Mac and Windows. I haven't found anything like it yet. If you know of any - PLEASE tell me about it.
Oh, and before anyone suggests it: Gtk+ and wxWidgets are not good options.
Alright, what do you prefer: a sniper taking out some bastard holding a gun to your presidents head, or throwing in a ton of explosives in a container (more known as a "bomb") and wiping out the entire administration?
Hey, if it's Bush we're talking about, I'm all for the second solution.
the nintendo piss is a pile of crap. just a faster clocked gamecube (which was itself crap) with a stupid gimmicky controller that has not revolutionised the way we play games
So I have three choices for this generation of consoles: (1) higher clocked XBox, (2) higher clocked PS2 with slight motion detecting controller and (3) higher clocked Gamecube, but with a new controller that contains gyros, can tell where you point it and allows for several attachments.
I'll just pick the one with the games that interest me. Possibly even a PS2, since I haven't played any of the Final Fantasy games for it yet...
I've never thought about the displaying of threads, simply because my standard action when receiving email is to read and delete. Can't help you there. However, it works just great with Gnome, like any other non-Gnome apps such as Emacs.

So *you* were the other one. Nice to meet you finally. :-)
Another one here actually, running a mix of Warp and Slack. Interesting, we all have UID:s below 10k. :-)

Uh... Both deci and seconds are SI units. If you can use decimeter and decibel, why shouldn't you be able to use decisecond?
Nerds I'd Like to... You know what - nevermind.

Thats the thing though, Milk is great for Vitamin D - and Chocolate Milk is a favourite amongst gamers.
However, just having the D in your system doesn't get it to work, something in the sunlight "activates" it. I heard it from a girl one time.
You actually TALKED to a girl? Wow. That's just incredible

Swapping is a *bleeping* killer!
I'm sorry, but did you mean to write 'fucking' here?

Try searching for beavers, you probably won't get many hits for the animal. Some of them are even shaved.
I mean, it can't accelerate with more than 9.82m/s, and the article doesn't say a word about the terminal velocity.

FRA stands for FÃrsvarets Radioanstalt, if you really want the swedish word for it.
I would call English the big loser here...
