And too bad if you're running Mono on a non-x86, non-Linux system since winelib is x86 only (for now).
From the Darwine FAQ: It means that WineLib is now working on Mac OS X, and that developers should be able to recompile their Win32 Apps using WineLib and make them work in Mac OS X.
It's kinda weird (in the version I have, anyway, haven't checked if it's the latest) since menus won't close once you click off of them - you have to click the empty area in the menubar, right of the actual menus.
It also disappears when there's no foregrounded GNUStep program, which is kinda weird.
Unfortunately, it runs so slow it's scary. (Interestingly enough, it's clearly my connection - I'm ssh'd into a US server which has instant page loads...).
I have the text from the challenge page so far... Nup, everything else is timing out.
It's not the/. effect though, since I can access it from our US servers, so weird.
msnbot/0.3 accounts for 40% of all of the hits on my blog, and it's not even popular.
msnbot/0.11 is another 8%.
The stupid thing is, the blog's been around longer than they have been spidering it by at least a few months, so it's actually a higher figure if you ignore the time before they started crawling...
If they specified the width exactly instead of relying on the browser to implicitly shrink the column to the width you're used to, you wouldn't see this bug.
Are you saying that if they used an attribute like 'width="80"' instead of 'width="100%"' in a couple of places, that it would never happen?
If so, it's a bit slack not to have done that to allow perfect rendering in what's probably the 2nd most common browser around...
(FWIW I use an FF extension to fix it, but I'd much rather not have to... I'm looking forward to FF1.1, it'll probably be out before Slashdot gets updated;-)
Nothing can crack something encrypted with a One time pad, purely because there is an infinite number of "correct" possibilities, and no way to know which was intended.
Not unless you have a copy of the full pad, anyway.
(Basically, if you're randomly "cracking" the pad, for a five-character message, you'll get all possible five-character combinations as being equally valid! There's also no way to say "well, the first part is [x] thus the second part is [y]").
(The "linux world" is really just one of the descendants of the old "unix world", so it's hardly fair to put a 25-year-old company alongside a 14-year-old kernel. All the same they come out looking pretty good).
Face it, most computer innovations are simply another rung on the ladder of others.
My understanding wasn't that SSNs get re-used, but that back in the day before computer DBs, it wasn't entirely uncommon for two identical SSNs to be given out on the same day, and only discovered later...
My assumption is that a saturated uplink is stopping those ACKs from getting through. Though, I have the problem even after prioritizing ACKs on my router.
I haven't managed to find the right knobs to prioritise ACKs, but I've seen QoS HOWTOs that talks about exactly this problem.
If I limit my upload bandwidth to ~5kbps (on a 64k uplink, max upload is ~6kbps) then it all flies. Let it go up to 6kbps and downloads choke.:)
I would when the application does not need to write anything. Unless I customize its settings in some way, there is no reason for it to write a configuration file at all, and it most certainly should not refuse to run if it can not create one, like KDE does.
Except many apps consider "saveable settings" to include things not in their "Preferences" dialog - things like window states (position, size), open files, recent-files, etc. While a nice fallback of a "BTW these functions won't work" warning would be best, I can understand why nobody has gotten around to it yet!:-)
I don't know much at all about DCOP, but yes it would be better if it would place files in/tmp/, and yes X.org should really use syslog unless explicitly configured not to.
I do think that it's not an unfair assumption for apps to assume that they can write their config files in ~/, but they should at least gracefully error out.

So does this mean that Slashdot can't link to IDN'd names at all?

Assistive technologies are things like screenreaders, magnifying glasses, etc. that are largely intended to assist those with disabilities.
It's a requirement for being usable in some areas (some governments IIRC require it).
"WildMenus" sets up a OSX-style menubar.
It's kinda weird (in the version I have, anyway, haven't checked if it's the latest) since menus won't close once you click off of them - you have to click the empty area in the menubar, right of the actual menus.

base64 has the problem of using both uppercase and lowercase letters.
30 seems a good match for lat/long, but seriously - they're just *encoding* *data*. Base-30 may not be common, but it's hardly innovative.
Whether it's lat/long or random binary data shouldn't matter either, it's all data.
Depends on what sort of average you use :)
;-)
The mean number of fingers would be below 10, but the mode and median number of fingers would still be 10.

Looks like an 'open and shut' case to me...
I think you mean 'open and closed'...
From dictionary.com:A "rolling" stop eh?
I think it's just a matter of speed...
It'd still be moving, but much much slower.

I'm sorry, but I don't think I would consider mailing knives a "simple thing". A hat, sure; a weapon, no.
Whoah, when did knives suddenly get classified as weapons?
Last I checked they were normally classified as "kitchen utensils"...

Hashes have nothing to do with one-time pads.
Don't forget to add Camino to your list!

I dunno, I think they copied too much from The Matrix...
Works great in Windows Media Player. I guess that's what you get for trying to save $99.

$99? I thought the going rate was $699?
I'm taking "linux world" to mean "free world".
Python?
libglade?
Muine?
XUL?
PNG?
Jabber?
Torrents?
reiserfs?

Yes. Occasionally there is a jump up, though.
Its just kazaa but you upload/download at the same time like in bittorrent

So it's like Gnutella then?
Beijing eh?

I wonder who does good-priced one-way airfares...

I'd hardly call being able to write to your own home directory "excessive permission"...
If you can't write to your home directory, how can you write to ~/.kde/ to save the DCOP state anyway?
