Kexis is a GPL'd lossless encoder which has proved to be _almost_ as good as shorten for filesize, is _much_ faster to decode and encode than any encoder I have ever used... The fact that the kexis file format may change in the future is largely a petty issue as you can simply losslessly convert from the old format to the new one. Have a look at it at http://kexis.sourceforge.net
Actually, total cost of ownership (for a server solution) includes money spent on administration, and os repairs. Sometimes, this argument does have merit (for example, microsoft would argue that it takes less time to set up an NT box), though for a skilled linux/unix admin, linux should be quicker...
Actually.. the reason why the mozilla nightlies have ballooned in size is because they now include three themes (theme probably isn't the best word for them, because they change how it works too), which take ~2-3M compressed. It has not been a result of feature bloat, just more optional (or not!;) extras.
Eek. God no.. not audiocatalyst. Use exact audio copy: www.eac.com instead. It uses lame for the mp3 encoder and is free.. have a look at the comparisons between encoders, and what is the best rippers at http://r3mix.net.

No, the best way to read slashdot is with links. See http://links.sourceforge.net. It rocks, I could never go back to lynx again. Just make sure you know about the menu using escape;)
Hmm. I too thought that all of blender was open source for version 2.x, but in fact only some parts of it are. Damn. Have a look at the open source section at blender's website.
Reiserfs uses pretty much the same license.. basically the GPL with the commercial clause, and as far as I know (that is, I'm pretty damn sure, they're trying to get it incorporated in the kernel;), it's open source.
until... web browser include http servers in their scripting language... so warez kiddies can setup their own http servers really easily, hell.. it happened with xmms and icecast..;)
You misunderstand. It saves the settings to the local disk. Storing it at AOL/netscape/etc would not only be insecure, but slow, busy (millions of users) and redundant.
Hahaha. Well.. I have, I just haven't use kde-2.0 much at all, assuming that is where this xml functionality is coming from? I never said that kde didn't have this functionality, just that gnome seems to be further along.
There was an article on zdnet about this a while ago. They have changed their name back to good 'ol borland. The title of their webpage even proves it, as they use the traditional borland over inprise. Bah, guess their marketing guys admitted they weren't right this time eh? =]
You obviously have not used libglade. Libglade is a library that can load the interface xml files created by glade, and create a gui from them at _runtime_. This makes for a lot quicker development as it's visual, no need for a recompile in many cases, and allows users to change the interface files and fix UI type bugs in them without _any_ programming experience. Sorry, I believe gnome is futher along in this arena.
This is normal. In order to get more optmisation, the binary sizes _will_ increase. It does when you enable optimisation with gcc like -O6, this is hardly a new thing, but I'm not sure if it's due to the pentium(or itanium)'s design.
In mandrake-6.1, they used a 2.2.13-pre kernel. As this is just a beta, I'd guess that they'd be using a pre kernel, which isn't so bad for a beta release, but I believe that a full release _should_ use a fully released kernel version.

I found it quite stable and fast. Maybe you didn't remove your .mozilla (or .netscape depending on which is used.. I haven't investigated)
Avifile does almost everything that windows media player does. It's excellent. Have a look at it here: http://divx.euro.ru

Just use rpm -tb sourcetarball-with-specfile.tar.gz and it'll build you a rpm in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i*86/ THen just install it. Easy.
Get the libc5 version of netscape. It doesn't crash. Ever. I mean it. I think it was a malloc bug in glibc that caused bus errors in netscape.
Ok. Here goes. Right click on xmms. Options. Preferences, Options. [x] Pause between songs . Done
me? I'm for MACHO, MACHO matter.
Australian GST is 10%, and I damn well hope it'll stay there like they promised.
Well.... For my super-shitty trident 9750 2mb video chip, it -getimage100 was almost twice as fast. That good enough?
I don't think he's humourless, I just think he keeps his eyes on his ideals, and trys to push them whenever he can. The power to him.
They're also a heck of a lot better for scientific research scenarios (simulations).

Hmm. Posted to another story, or a slashdot bug. Who knows? Too bad, it was a pretty good read (+1 Funny, -1 offtopic) *sigh* =]
