  1. Gifs are bad! on Guessing Linux 2.6.0 Release Date · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    Shouldn't you be using a .png file instead of a .gif?

  2. Re:Hey on Music Software for Mac OS X? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Lilypond version 1.8.0 came out very recently; 1.6.10 is a year old or more. We use the kernel numbering scheme (1.7.x were development versions; 1.6 and 1.8 are stable versions).

  3. Lilypond on Music Software for Mac OS X? · · Score: 3, Informative

    You want Lilypond, a Free sheet music program. We just released version 1.8. You write an input file as a text file, then run Lilypond on the input file (similar to programming). Once you learn the format, it's faster than graphical mousing to enter the notes.

    http://lilypond.org

    Also available from fink. http://fink.sourceforge.net

    Lilypond runs on GNU/Linux, Windows, MacOS, and other *nixs. It produces sheet music that looks better than Finale, but it is Free software.

  5. Re:The downfall of debian on MPlayer Licence Trouble With A Twist · · Score: 1

    > Debian is great, but their ethics get in the way of putting out a first class distro.

    That sounds like a great reason to use Debian.

    Would Debian be any greater if they _did_ compromise their ethics? *sigh* kids these days.

  6. Re:Just curious here ... on California Consumers Settle MS Antitrust Suit · · Score: 1

    True, the cash value is 1/40th of their cash reserves. But what if every state got the same deal? I have no idea what percentage of the US population California is, but let's assume it's a tenth. If every state got the same deal, Microsoft would be out 1/4th of its cash reserves. That's a bigger deal.

    (of course, if people or schools use the vouchers for purchasing microsoft products, MS hasn't really lost anything. But that's another problem...)

  7. That's what rtf is for on Linux Office Suites · · Score: 3, Informative

    Word processors dating back to the DOS days can read Rich Text Format. If you're sending it to a windows newbie who panicks when it doesn't say ".doc", tell him to open it anyway -- word will understand it.
