  1. Aeron, of course on Geek Christmas Ideas · · Score: 1

    Everyone already knows about Herman Miller's Aeron. Once you sit in this chair for a day, you can never go back. Only a scant $749 if you buy direct...

  2. Re:Small hacks on SourceForge Goes Public Beta · · Score: 1

    SourceForge doesn't mandate that you use all of their services. You can pick and choose to use forums, CVS, mailing lists, etc. So, sure, if it fills a need put it up. You might also consider putting the program as a module alongside XCDRoast if you can arrange this with the XCDRoast developers.

  3. Re:Bogus site certificate? on SourceForge Goes Public Beta · · Score: 1

    That Verisign page claims that Netscape 4.06 and later are not affected. And the Y2K CA rollover is not supposed to happen until after 1/1/2000: "Netscape Communicator version 4.05 or earlier and Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.01 for Macintosh include a root CA certificate set to expire at the end of 1999. Users of these browsers will experience an additional dialog box when connecting securely with your site after January 1, 2000..."

  4. Need to be logged in... on SourceForge Goes Public Beta · · Score: 2

    You need to be logged in to submit a bug. I just submitted a bug about the blank page you get back when trying to submit a bug and not logged in. :) As for the certificate, it works for me (Netscape 4.7) -- I'll put a report in about that as well.

  6. Refuge for community sites on R.I.P. Linuxbox · · Score: 1

    Sites that are homeless because of this loss might want to contact VA Linux; VA provides free hosting for a large number of Open Source / Linux community sites. I'm sorry to see Linuxbox go...

  7. Re:wtf - linux.com's HTML code is DOS formatted on Linux.com to go Live Tonight · · Score: 2

    I am not sure how you came to this conclusion, but I can assure you that 100% of the Linux.com development took place on a Linux box. The only 'tools' we use to make our html and PHP are vi, vim, and emacs. Any tabification of the source is done by human hands.

  8. Re:linux.com on Linux.com to go Live Tonight · · Score: 1

    Unlike gerard and most everyone else on Linux.com who use vim, I am an emacs-addict. :)

  9. Re:Rather weak first attempt on Linux.com to go Live Tonight · · Score: 3

    One of the biggest challenges of getting Linux.com up and running was our time constraint. We had to build a site that could stand under the pressures of LOTS of hits, be maintable by a large group of community volunteers, and be able to expand quickly -- and the site had to come together in a few weeks time. Right now, the Linux.com you see is just the beginning. The infrastructure is built so we can add features newbies need, better resources for support, etc.
    If you don't see a feature you want, or think we should change our content, tell us at feedback@linux.com. Community suggestions and ideas are what drive Linux.com!
