  1. Re:depends on Fair Rate for Tech. Authors? · · Score: 1

    Oh, that's interesting. I've always wondered why books used to be so small and "straight to the point" in the past and are so bulky now. Take the original K&R book. It's a small book and yet teaches you exactly what you want to know. I tought vanity played a major part in buying "fat" books (look mom! I know all this now...) but now I know the true reason! :)

  2. There's also this very good book online on CVS Pocket Reference · · Score: 4

    You can find a good part of the Open Source Development With CVS book by Karl Fogel online at http://www.red-bean.com/cvsbook/cvsbook.html
    It's a very easy to read CVS book that begins with the basic steps of creating a repository and goes all the way to cover a lot of advanced aspects about using CVS on a daily basis.

    And who capitalizes Java? Since when is it an acronym?

    Well, "HORRIBLY" is not an acronym either and you didn't comply it's capitalized. :)

  4. If not netscape, what then? on Netscape Users Rejoice · · Score: 1
    We're stuck... Netscape 4.7X has horrible font bugs and crashes all the time with java and javascript (try to make a dead loop in javascript and you'll see...). Mozilla is HORRIBLY bloated, has no SSL and/or JAVA. Galeon is very quick and nice, but again, no SSL/Java/Bookmarks (M18 based). Netscape 6 is a joke, consuming "mere" 45Mb of memory (when it's not hungry, of course).

    I haven't tried Konqueror2 yet, but again, I'll have to install KDE2 (is it true?) and that would make the "browser" bigger than Netscape 6 by comparison...

    I just need SSL and Java (for Sodaplay). Nothing else...

    What a pain...

  5. Re:6000 licenses? Doesn't anyone do site licensing on Virginia Beach Pays Microsoft $129,000 · · Score: 1

    Hmmm. I don't think they do 'unlimited' anymore. They wanna squeeze all the juice fro you... You know Bill... But they DO have site licenses, that's for sure.
