  1. Re:Tempest in a teapot on Novell to Make Linux Robust and Reliable · · Score: 1

    Is it written somewhere in the OpenSource definition that thou shalt not make disparaging comments about the product?

    It's just common sense.
    If your going to try to sell something that relies on a product, don't offend people that use it. Bite the hand and all that...

  3. Re:I just reported a real humdinger of a bug... on Mozilla Project Turns 5 · · Score: 1

    golden showers all around,
    this sounds like a what just happened to me. I installed 1.3 and though mozilla didn't stop responding, 2k rebooted when I closed it(moz) and all my bookmarks were reset. That said I didn't change any hardware, so I think you can rule that out. I'd never had that problem before with any version of mozilla.

  4. Re:Hm.. duplication... on Operational Testing of Linux Kernel 2.5.x · · Score: 1

    I don't think it could hurt - what's the worst that could happen? They ask you to check your kernel config and tell you if you made an "obvious" mistake. I would just make sure this bug is still valid. I haven't tried the frame buffer @ high res since 2.5.58. I'll try again in a day or so just for kicks.

    Is there a reason you are trying to get this to work? I like high res consoles too, but usually end up in X with two terms per desktop.

    I think he's talking about the console frame buffers - shouldn't really make a difference whether you have X or not. in fact I did what you said and I still had the same problems miketang has(with both vesa and rivafb drivers).

  6. Re:Gnome2 / E16 on State of the E-nion · · Score: 1

    Kinda - I run gtk2 and gnome2 apps with E but I don't let gnome take over the desktop, that way I don't have to deal with panels or icons. I load most of the apps I need after xinit and then just flip through desktops to get whatever app I need.

    or maybe it's because JSP allows their engineering and production staff to be *cleanly* separated. perhaps this is more hype but I've never seen an easy way to seperate the code from the format in PHP. JSP was built that way.

    I didn't try anything. I just assumed that their cvs server was actually up and running, and therefore from a terminal (which I wasn't in front of at the time) you can type in (assuming you have cvs installed):

    cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.cdexos.sourceforge.net:/c vsroot/cdexos login

    cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.cdexos.sourceforge.net:/c vsroot/cdexos co modulename

    ever heard of cvs? if you want the source to the *development* version... aka "beta" then use the source forge link to find their cvs server. it's right there under cvs. otherwise the source to the 1.4 version is with the rest of the tar files. I found all this in less than one minute by following the *open source* link right on the main page.
