For that matter, why should we use Photoshop? That thing has been around forever! Sheesh. Its sure to be ancient technology! (read:sarcasam)
I'm ok with the 80's band thing, tho. As long as you don't diss The Cars or Devo, damnit. Whip it! Yeah! Right On! Yeah! Feel the passsion and depth that went into that one!
BTW: Loose the 'thank you'. It makes your troll way too obvious:)
What do I do, when it seems I relate to Judas more than You?
For sound, something that definately will be interesting to see develop is OpenAL, being developed by Loki. Not sure how this compares to DirectSound (Heh. Gotta love how they name everything Direct- or Open- whatever. Anyone for DirectCrack or OpenBeer?) but it seems to be a 3D Sound API. Does anyone know how this will compare?

They aren't technically "skins" per say. They affect the whole UI- For instance, some of the current chromes change where buttons are, or the menu layout. Its more like an e-theme or something along those lines... Its really cool stuff. For more on all of this, check out ChromeZone at MozillaZine (It will eventually be at Chromezone.org). Be sure to check out Aphrodite, its an/excellent/ gui. The sun is going down, I say we follow it out of town- We've been here for far too long.

(re: the flying train in BTTF)
Thats one thing that kinda pissed me off about Austin Powers 2. I mean, come on! Yeah, your time machine is this car, they were talking about meeting your past self (a la back to the future), and then theres no 88 mph, flux capacitor, OR flames coming out from the wheels?
Sheesh. Some movies are just so unrealistic.

As far as I know, it does-- XFree86 4.0 supports cross-platform drivers (as a loadable, non-platform specific module), and I *think* that would mean that you would get the acceleration, too. But, I may be completely wrong...
Either way, its a worthwile upgrade!

I've been a fan of single-disk distros for quite a while-- after Staroffice borked my libc a while back, its what I used to rebuild. This sounds like a pretty cool implementation of that, especially with X on-CD.
Does anyone have any more info, or has anyone ever used this? Could be really useful as a rescue distro...

I passed mine through bash, worked fine. Seems to work with sh, too... Doesn't look like it works with *my* setup of csh or tcsh...
Hmm... you're using JavaPlugIn_1.2.2.px.sh, right? Thats the netscape plugin- I don't have any experience with the other ones, I installed the jvm1.2.2 from java.sun.com. Also, I believe this is for glibc, if you're still running libc5 it won't work, but I'd think it'd still install... You might want to look around the Blackdown website, too-- they might have some relevant documentation.

perhaps I should enter some of my code from my "Intro to C" class. What can I say, I didn't know what I was doing at that point, and the ONLY thing that saved me was Emacs having auto-indent.
Its never good when you can go back to a program a month later, stare at it for a mintute, and still be wondering what it does...
You know, for commercial, binary-only sofware, theres a simple way for the company to fix incompatibility- make static binaries available along with dynamically linked binaries. Its not *that* tough.
Yeah, it results in a bigger binary, but it solves the incompatibility. Ever run unix Netscape on a computer without Motif? Don't even need the toolkit installed.
The Tripods Trilogy by John Christopher- Good for a young reader, I first read them in elementrary school. Rather Post-Apocalyptic, and really interesting. Wrote on a level anyone can understand.
The Space Trilogy by C.S. Lewis- Also a lot of fun, and at a easy reading level. Definately a more 'classical' sci-fi (more fantasy-like) than others.
Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams- Read it twice or three times so you can get all the inside jokes;)
I'm getting the same problem- is it a bug in the drivers? I'm really beginning to think so. I've had some funky problems with one of my friends OpenGL stuff he's been tinkering with and getting it to run on mine. However, Q3 does work with libMesaGL.so, but incredibly slowly (I didn't even get past the option screens). I know the 128 is kind of an old card, but under windows it runs Q3 perfectly. I guess with the current alpha drivers from nvidia I shouldn't expect much (I can't wait for XFree 4.0)...
But besides that, has anyone been able to load it with the nvidia drivers and the 128?
Both of those actually sound like a/lot/ of fun... If you ever do decide to write them, make sure to make it public. Something like that would be a great addition to the (admittidly bland) game market- games with an original idea, not just another shoot 'em up or starcraft clone.
It depends- how integrated have you created it to be? What does it need to function properly? For instance, we have:
Linux/Unix, where it could just be the kernel and a shell,
Mac OS, where the GUI is tightly integrated with everything, and you must load it (AFAIK),
Windows 95/98, where the GUI and a web browser is built in, but if you have to you can boot into dos.
Each one is an operating system: Linux, where it can be as stripped down as you want it to be (though I really wouldn't want to go without bash, an editor, and a compiler/liberaries), Windows where you have to at least install the GUI (and are pretty machocistic if you are going to use just DOS for anything heavy duty), and Mac where the GUI is completely inseperable with the rest of the OS. Things like wordpad and vim don't really count as part of the OS, but they are included beacuse an editor is usually needed. Then again, I have no idea why Windows had to ship with IE integrated- the file manager as a seperate app worked just fine for me.
Of course, this is all bullocks, because in reality all an OS is is the Microkernel that runs EMACS!
What I was referring to (I guess I didn't make this very clear- sorry) was linux-based, full featured browsers. I would absolutely love to find another browser that works better than those. Usually, I find that when Netscape bombs, it was caused by java or something along those lines- it doesn't usually crash at random. Also, I use plug ins like the scour media agent. If there is another browser that supports java (well) and plugins, I'd love to know about it. I don't think Opera is out yet. Is KFM to that point yet? I haven't played with it in quite a while... OTOH, I really like the way Mozilla is going, and beat on it regularily.
Honestly, though. Did we really expect him to just sit around and say nothing, or just admit 'yeah, we really have tried to stifle our competitors'? Hopefully, the findings in this will lead to an environment where you actually can innovate. I would love to see the best product win out, instead of whichever is pushed on people.
How many of us have thought "I wish IE was available for Linux" after Netscape came to a grinding halt, taking up all the memory. I know I have. Or wanted to be able to USE office and such. Maybe someday with WINE we will be able to do it anyways, but it would be nice to get come competetive products on *nix, too. If all else fails, though, we will do it ourselves. Thats the beauty of having choice, and not having a certain product pushed on you.
I've noticed that lately there have been a lot more bands actually posting mp3s, or links to them. Some pretty cool ones from off the top of my head (warning, punk band links ahead)...
Unwritten Law has some nice, 128 bit mp3s right on their site. Unfortunately, they seem to be going towards Real Audio and MS Netshow for their newer ones
Don't get me wrong, I love Window Maker- it's my favorite WM. But it might not be the best idea...
Oncee, I had the "Superfluious" option turned on, making icons explode into a nifty little firework-like shower when they are dragged off the dock. I left to go home for a weekend and was still logged in (Stupid idea. I know.). So, over the weekend, my roommate had his girlfriend over, and discovered this neat looking game on my computer! And nifty! When you drag them off the bar, little boxes blow up!
Needless to say, I was not pleased. Anyways, I would hate to try to explain how to put icons back on the dock if they have been accidentally blown up. Afterstep or KDE seems like a better idea, since AS is pretty static when set up, and KDE is incredibly easy.

What do you plan to support in Konqueror, ie CSS, Java, HTML type, and will it function as a file manager or will KFM still have that function?
