  1. Re:Just this week... on Less is More: Thunderbird 0.7 Review · · Score: 1
    The only thing we're missing is Outlooks ability to insert multiple 'signatures'. Anyone know if this is currently possible in TBird? Having blocks of pre-typed text ready to go at the click of your mouse is a real time-saver.

    There is an extension called TagZilla that should do the trick. There is no version for Thunderbird 0.7 yet, but at least you know that it exists.

    Strelka and Belka are the names of the dogs that were sent into space.

    Quote from first google search result: "Belka("Squirrel")and Strelka("Little Arrow") were launched into space on board Sputnik 5 on August 19, 1960. They were accompanied on their historic flight by 40 mice, 2 rats and a number of plants. Belka and Strelka were safely recovered after spending a day in orbit. Strelka eventually gave birth to a litter of 6 healthy puppies, one of which was given to President Kennedy as a gift."

    You, alone with only a few rounds of ammo, no armour kneeling in some dark corner, hoping that nothing shows on the motion sensor. I know the feeling. Great game. Real shame that the sequel is such crap.

    I have made the same mistake with my headphones. Also woke my brother and parents that were in the other rooms sleeping. They all rushed in my room to see what happened, and there was I, on the floor looking scared.

    Never again have I played it with headphones in a dark room :)

    HEADS UP TESTERS: GNOME 2.3.0 is now available for FreeBSD

    Joe Marcus Clarke says that his team has finished updating all the necessary ports for GNOME 2.3.0 (dubbed "Mighty Atom"). He is looking for people to test this pre-beta development release. Since it is a testing release, it does not appear to have been committed to the ports tree as of yet. Use this only if you are not looking for your desktop to be fully functional.

    Subject: HEADS UP TESTERS: GNOME 2.3.0 is now available

    Adam and I have finished updating all the necessary ports for GNOME
    2.3.0. For those that did GNOME 2.1 testing, the procedure hasn't
    changed. For new testers, you should go to
    http://www.marcuscom.com:8080/cgi-bin/cvsweb.c gi, and follow the
    instructions there to checkout the ``ports'' module. Then, download the
    marcusmerge script from the same page. Then run:

    marcusmerge -s /path/to/checked/out/ports/tree -d /path/to/main/ports/tree

    For example:

    marcusmerge -s /home/marcus/src/marcuscom-cvs/ports -d /usr/ports

    This will merge all the development ports with your main ports tree.
    From there, you can run portupgrade -ra (if you already have GNOME 2
    installed), or cd to /usr/ports/x11/gnome2, and do a make install.

    Note, this is a _development_ release. That means pre-beta for the most
    part. Only do this if you don't really care about your desktop
    functioning most of the time. I also encourage you to add the following
    to /etc/make.conf to aid in debugging:

    CFLAGS=3D "-O -pipe -g"
    STRIP=3D

    There may be things broken with the port (i.e. forgotten dependencies,
    missed files, etc.). If you notice anything, please report it to
    freebsd-gnome ASAP. You probably shouldn't file PRs against these ports
    as they won't be reflected in commit logs. However, if you notice
    genuine problems with an application, don't hesitate to fire up
    bug-buddy, and report the problem with the application authors.

    Happy bug hunting!

    Joe

    You seem to have played the wrong games. In one of my favorite space-game, Frontier, you speed up, turn your engines off and let the inertion do the 'flying' for you. Then, when the time is right, you have to fire up your retro-rockets to slow down, or rotate the ship 180 and fire the main engines. If you are good, you don't crash into the space station at 10000 km/s
