  1. One company to rule them all... on Microsoft, OD2 Start European Music Service · · Score: 5, Funny

    All they want is:
    The Server OS market
    The Database market
    The Office market
    The Home PC market
    The Handheld market
    The Mobile market
    The Game market
    The TV market
    The Instant messaging market
    The E-mail market

    And the hearts of men are easily corrupted.

  2. The GPL war is near on SCO Awarded UNIX Copyright Regs, McBride Interview · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This is the beginning of a stream of events, that eventually will be known as the Great GPL War.

    A company can not claim ownership of a few lines of code, and than steal millions of GPL-ed lines, package them and sell them. This is outrageous.

    FSF is forced to react on this one. GPL is going to court.

    Very nice.

    The problem is, if one wants to use some of those famous multitasking features in Linux and run Mozilla/Emacs/Whatever together with GIMP.

    It could be very nice with some virtual desktops in ratpoison.

    I'm using ratpoison @ work, where we have Sunray terminals and it works pretty good.

  5. Re:ratpoison on EvilWM - Minimalist Window Manager · · Score: 1

    Ratpoison still has some problems with dialog boxes in f.ex Mozilla and it lacks multiple desktop setup, but it is slowly improving. It now also supports resizing of frames and dumping/loading of framesets.

    The Gimp is just such a greedy piece of software. It eats up a whole virtual desktop for popping all this small dialog boxes. Functiolity is there, but the GUI... My God it sux. What's the meaning in having small boxes scattered all over the place?

    That's why I still stick to VMWare/WinXP and Photoshop.

    Who gets most spam?

    People with public e-mail addresses do. Try writing a few usenet articles and have your e-mail address on a web site and wait for the spam to emerge.
