  1. Re:Gnome's very problem on Has GNOME Become LAME? · · Score: 1

    Are you talking about the development process behind KDE? In that case you're right! :-)

  2. Like in... on VMware: Another Netscape? · · Score: 1

    there will be an open source project called emu86xzilla hosted at emu86xzilla.org?

  3. Re:The worst possible people to do the UI... on KDE And Gnome Cooperate On Interface Guidelines · · Score: 1

    And open source users who think they have a clue about user interfaces. That's why most open source applications have so many options.

  4. Ominious on Updated Information On Columbia Shuttle Tragedy · · Score: 1

    Found in the google cache: 20 Years Later Space Shuttle Columbia is Better and Safer So with all these reports of a possibly ageing shuttle fleet (problems before the launch of the Columbia; possible damage during its launch), what's the use of endangering humans in "manned space exploration"? We could do it with smarter robotics...

  5. Re:Who cares? on Updated Information On Columbia Shuttle Tragedy · · Score: 1

    Why risk precious lives if we could do it simply using better technology. IMO manned space exploration is a relic from the Cold War. I hope the NASA really learnt from Feynman's words.

  6. Re:Accepted by? on Linux Gains Support for NUMA · · Score: 2, Insightful

    the decision of linus to not accept the NUMA patches right away was correct. we now have a patch that doesn't affect non-NUMA archs...

  7. Ah yes, Jamie... on JWZ Reviews Video on Linux · · Score: 1

    Jamie misinterpreting an RFC and getting flamed; I think he misses programming.

  8. Re:Can Linux become Mozilla? on Improving Linux Kernel Performance · · Score: 1

    Sure, here are the first signs. Hard to believe? Even Bob X. Cringely says "Even today, you can still get to a C: prompt under Windows XP, which means a disk operating system is hiding there no matter what Microsoft wants us to believe." I don't know what he means with this, but it has DOS in it.

  9. Dangerous idea on Windows Security Holes Go Mostly Unexploited · · Score: 1

    If everyone leaves their windows open, what's the chance that a burglar picks your house?

  10. Scary on Microsoft Next Generation Shell · · Score: 1

    Isn't this going to scare away users?

  11. Re:Why don't they call their browser... on Phoenix To Change Name · · Score: 1

    AMI?

  12. Re:A good alternative! on picoGUI: An X Alternative? · · Score: 1

    For XFree86 there is Tiny-X.

  13. Hey, it's an ATI advertisement campaign! on Doom 3 Alpha Leaked · · Score: 1

    When reading this article I noticed it had the ATI Radeon 9700 ad banner

  14. Re:GNOME Hijacked to Make Way for Real Users^TM on The Captains of Nautilus · · Score: 1

    Feature rich and user friendlyness are orthogonal.

  15. Tourism? on Mountain Moisture Melting · · Score: 0, Redundant

    A drop of tourism? Should we be worried about that?

  16. Roswell on Boeing Bird of Prey Stealth Fighter · · Score: 1

    Perhaps using technology found at the Roswell crash site?

  17. Re:Code folding! on KDE 3.1 Beta Released · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    try :help folding

  18. Re:GPL on DishPVR 721 Review · · Score: 1

    Probably because of DRM.

  19. album (Marginal Hacks) on To Digitize or Not Digitize the Family Photo Album? · · Score: 1
    album to generate HTML galleries.

    If you have your own server, look for a Apache / PHP solution. Plenty of them.

  20. Re:Borland C memory models on Pet Bugs? · · Score: 1

    You remember 16 bit protected mode, and having far callable functions and the mantra: set DS right!? Ugly.

  21. strncpy() on Pet Bugs? · · Score: 1

    Newbie did this:

    char buf[13]; /* 8 + 3 + '.' + '0' is 13 */

    strncpy(buf, "long-file-name.ext", sizeof buf);

    and wrongly assuming that strncpy() would null terminate the string.
    I hit newbie with K&R.

  22. Re:Gnome 2 vs KDE 3 on GNOME 2.0 Released · · Score: 1

    If you have come from Windows, then you'll probably feel more comfortable with KDE3.
    I'm a developer, so I'm prejudiced:
    you must be really really really self-confident to decide to write a web browser like Konqueror from scratch.
    I don't see anything like that in the GNOME world. (And even gtkhtml was a C port of the KDE khtml library...)

  23. Re:Yet another remake? on 'Solaris' Screen Adaptation Forthcoming · · Score: 1

    What about a Hollywood remake of My Dinner With Andre , with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone (as Andre; talkative for a change)?

  24. Re:Agreed. on Gnome 2.0 Alpha 1 Released · · Score: 1

    I like KDE too, however it doesn't have the flexible panels of GNOME. I don't care about using multiple desktops. I want cool panels.

  25. Re:I'm glad I moved my server over to Windows 2000 on Linux 2.4.8 is Out · · Score: 1

    Dude, you shouldn't update your server box with new linux releases. Stick with one trued and tried kernel version. And believe me, for a server you don't need XFree 4.1.0 or emu10k.
