  1. Re:the real RCA exists no more on New portable MP3 player from RCA · · Score: 1

    Godo to hear that the "real RCA" doesn't exist anymore, that way they can't drive more people to suicide by stealing their patents.

  2. Re:Microsoft and FUD on Microsoft Withholds Y2K Fix for Win95? · · Score: 1

    Give ME a break. Y2k has been a HOT topic in the computer world since at LEAST 96, and in the past year and a half it has gotten major press. We're talking about WIndows **95** here. They've have enough time. MS will be MS, which means, late, lame, and lazy.

  3. Re:Hmm..I see cookie support, maybe Javascript too on KDE 1.1.1 is out · · Score: 1

    Did you look in the extras directroy? Theres a RPM called javascript there, though I am running RedHat 6 and so I can't check it out just yet. Perhaps that is the JavaScript support for kfm you seek. But then perhaps not.

  4. KDE 1.1.1 and RedHat 6.0 on KDE 1.1.1 is out · · Score: 1

    I read the document linked about RedHat 6.0, but that seems to be for people upgrading TO RedHat 6.0 on top of their old KDE. I want to do the opposite, upgrade to the new KDE over the one supplied with RedHat.
    Does anyone have any information on how to upgrade to KDE 1.1.1 over RedHat 6.0?
    Also, does anyone know why RedHat decided to use their packaging scheme for KDE instead of the one KDE (and consequently, all the application authors) use? It is so annoying to install new apps, etc, only for them not to work because RedHat's KDE is installed into different directories.

  5. Re:The prices AREN'T bad on Free Red Hat 6.0 CDs · · Score: 1
    RTFM; RedHat has a several editions of RedHat 6.0 for sale.
    • $39.95, "Core" edition for hackers and slashdotters that is just 2 CDs and the installation guide.
    • $79.95, "Official" edition for everybody else with the extra CD, the floppy (whee!), and the Getting Started guide.
    • $99.95, "Extra" edition, has several extra CDs
    IMO RedHat is just offering some more choices. It seems logical to me, charge more for getting more. But they are still keeping the $40 option, which is fine for me.
  6. And now for the bad news... on The Free S/WAN Project:secure TCP/IP · · Score: 1

    Yeah, thats the only thing holding me up from using it at this point. I'm in the US or I would help them port it over ASAP. Let's hope they get something up quick.

  7. SDK legal stuff on 3DFX Attacks on Glide Wrapper Authors Rage On · · Score: 1

    No, there is a concept called fair usage. IANAL, but it basically defines certian activities that you can do without infringing on copy rights. One of those is short excerpts, and theres some other stuff covered for other academic purposes I think. So no, book reports are no violation (so as you don't copy the whole book in the report :)

  8. Finally on IBM and Mp3 · · Score: 1

    Finally, a company is ready to make an MP3 player worth buying. Rio was cool but 32mb? Come on. Now if only they would add USB for downloading...
