God. Pitiful... just fucking awful. It's like the worst features of Windows meet the worst features of Linux, and a retard put it all together so other retards could half-use it but no one could fully use it. How anyone could consider it even a serious contender on the desktop, let alone a "MS striker", is beyond the comprehension of an intelligent human.
Lindows will die and Bill Gates won't even giggle. That's how little of a threat they are.
QMail is fine for a four- or five-user machine, but the installations who currently require Sendmail's power for their mail service needs would likely be happier with Postfix. It's far more powerful than QMail, while still being easy to set up and use.
Which can be read as "music to a BeOS fanatic's ears". More circle-jerking from the BeOS folks, whose only allies are themselves.
Seriously, the BeOS user community has dwindled such that only the rabid remain. Everyone else went off to use an OS which solves the problems BeOS first half-addressed (and you're lying if you say that BeOS has a hand-up on OS X, or even WinXP).
03) Mozilla (MSHTML FOR WIN32, KHTML for lin32, webcore for bsd/osx, who needs gecko)
I might remind you that Apple's new browser Safari is based on KHTML, making it a choice for BSD/OS X.
And Mozilla is not a real open-source project. It is merely an attempt by a company to have a horde of unpaid drones churn out their code at no cost. It's almost successful, too... too bad it's no good.
There was a long period in which Microsoft did not suck. This ended in 1991 or so, at which point they had the money to be total fucking cockbiters to everyone in their path. Shortly thereafter their software quality went waaay down.
Word 5.1 for Macintosh is the best word processor I've ever used.
Thank you for calling the Well on their bullshit. It seems like every Well member has been gloating since 1995 that they tangibly shaped the future of society, computing, and human interaction (when in reality they were just BBS dorks like the rest of the world).
It's a big circle-jerk. The offenders in question, like most of their Man Francisco pals, would benefit from getting a good, solid ass-whupping.
Information, like free time, should be free. If these techies offer support in their free time, anyone who'd get in their way is subclassing Hitler.

The people are writing machines. They exist in order to fill airport bookstores and CVS book racks. People like Mary Shelley, Stephen King, Dean Koontz... anyone who can churn out 30 identical books should be considered a hack. Or a very well-written bot.:)
Nonono, the whole point is that you can strip the high-precision data without resorting to Nyquist-domain PWMFFT data-whorehousing. Vorbis is exploiting an obscure Principia lemma regarding the theory of superposition, which reduces the problem to a few right-shifts and a stateless iterative loop.
Sulli, a seasoned/nerd like you should know that every time a submitted story on a topic like this doesn't trip the "The exact comment has already been posted. Please try to be more original..." error, it's frontpage.
...so making a new one is a losing proposition. Of course making a new linux distro technically costs nothing, but paying for duplication, hosting, legal fees, etc can make it a financial nightmare if the users don't show up.
For a pretty Linux desktop experience there's Debian; for the more seasoned Linux hackers there is Mandrake and SuSE; for the Linux newbies there's Slackware and Gentoo. Throw in a handful of system-on-a-disk and other special purpose Linuxes, and you've got a pretty full plate. Don't know if there's room for many more pretenders...
and I was once a law student. Anyway, Mr Lockwood's position seems defensible in court, but indefensible in a real-world situation. Using IRC harassment as a precedent, weblog harassment is pretty much as safe as downloading pirated software; you are in the clear unless you've done something really extraordinary. Also, the harassment which Mr Lockwood would like to protest occurred on a server which does not even keep actual logs; they keep logs of MD5'ed IPs and shitcan them after two weeks. In light of these facts, it's not hard to tell that without a truly impressive legal team (a la OJ Simpson) the case will not and can not go far, let alone succeed in silencing for any length of time a sea of anonymous cowards armed with information which has entered the public domain.
In fact I am rather sure this story was posted as yet another dishonorable Ask Slashdot troll.
It's nice that MAME is going open-source, but the code has been there to steal all along. There were parts to which modification was illegal, but plenty of developers went ahead and did just that, forking their own versions. Maybe now the version forks can be reintegrated into the MAME mother tree.
(I don't remember the names of these forks but a Google search should pick a few up)

and I find it pretty pleasant.
at least we're not getting shelled, anyway.
Five years.
How about releasing an IE-killer sometime?
Come on. Has anyone here ever *used* Lindows?

Is it possible to make a real life living in a virtual economy?
As long as there enough miserable bastards to dump all their cash into their online "life", sure. Just don't count on too many well-adjusted patrons.

Good review if you are a fan of BeOS.

seeing as it took Slashdot 35 seconds to serve me up this comments.pl?op-Reply page, yes, i think we are supposed to be impressed.
but then CowboiNeal ran out of beans, so they ran out of fuel.
... Intel and AMD have finally smashed through that 1GHz barrier. Film at 11.

Project Builder is meant to integrate (as you said, through breakpoint control) with GDB. It is not meant to perform debugging on its own.
It's a wonderful development environment -- Project Builder for the code, Interface Builder for the GUI, and GDB for debugging.

So set up two more of them, and multiplex. Bingo! 1MBit.
FCC regulations exist for a reason, folks.
If you want to strangle the Free-vs-Open-vs-Evil retardo nerds who make this a front-page story.

Good for him if he can pull it off, but GnuPG is free-as-in-your-mom. Who wants to pay for it?
