I've been trying to say exactly that for the longest time. I've never even coded a GUI app but as a free software user I felt stung by the original QT license as well as KDE's decision to use it regardless. I still don't run it. And get upset when I hit some random K based app on my system and it launches 5 or 6 daemons that don't go away even tho I never wanted them.
My laptop batteries will die before Mozilla even gets around to drawing its borders. Sorry, not everyone can afford new hardware every year. The thing is huge and nasty. Still doesn't do referrer headers properly making it impossible to surf any site that uses them to keep users clicking forward and stop them from enterring from anywhere but the homepage. I've had a bugzilla report in on this since.6 and it's only marginally better now.
Wake me when Mozilla lets me set more than one preference at a time. Currently they don't set at all and I get chrome://communicator/content/ errors and shit. Oh and maybe the prefs box should be resizable so I can actually see and/or manipulate the values??
Personally I see Mozilla as a failure of open source. The sick part is they could have done worse.
I'm inclined to disagree that the all-in-one operation is any better or worse than going thru Covad or whoever else. The fone co and the net co are still two different companies with different policies and command structures and trying to get the two of them to talk to each other about the same thing is like pulling out a horse's teeth thru its ass.
Watch how Pac Bell does its best to dilute its name so the govt doesn't see the blatant monopoly. It used to be Pac-Bell DSL. Now it's SBC. Used to be Pac-Bell Wireless. Now it's "Cingular". How much you wanna bet they paid a think-tank many thousands of dollars for that one!
2.4.3 is an EXTREMELY imporant release for 2.4.2 users who assumed loopback filesystems wouldn't up and shit themselves in 2.4.2.
If you don't want to read a story then skip it and don't waste our time with your asshole. er, opinion. Whatever. It's one of those things everyone has one of.
Personally I stay away from KDE and related apps because I'm still pissed about the pathetic licensing for Qt in the early days. It was already painfully obvious that people weren't going to pay for yet another toolkit; know anyone (no, not your company) who owns a real copy of Motif? I didn't think so.
Too little too late. So fuck 'em.
Having a person to answer the fone and write down your question 24x7x365 is only 1% of the job. We've broken Oracle numerous times and it's taken them weeks to get back to us with something to TRY, not even a guaranteed fix.
I think the biggest thing that Oracle really provides is tight row-level locking (Sybase only locks in 4k chunks to my knowledge) and better transactioning or whatever you wanna call it.
Not everybody is as lucky as you to have completely free data rates. Stupid troll.

The point of AOL's parental controls is for a parent to set up a separate screenname for the kids and put the restrictions on that name. Then the parent changes the password on his/her original screenname so the kids can't login under it.
Hey moron, even if what you say is true it's illegal. Regardless of the original source, Chris put his name on content that was not his. You've stated this over and over yourself. You would have saved your multiple personalities alot of trouble if you had just credited the freelancer (read: other surfacing personality) that submitted the story to "Chris". But since that "person" was most likely you anyway there's not much point in continuing this garbage.
I hope one of the voices in your head beats you even more senseless than you already are.
...is that editor Philip Ferreira (Slashdot user 258299 "redir") repeatedly attempted to defend his website (claiming no wrong-doing) as if he was an unconnected 3rd party. I don't think there was ever a point where he admitted his identity even after a number of us posted concrete evidence in the form of reviewboard.com's WHOIS record and searches on Slashdot itself for his past postings. AND he was the one that submitted the story in the first place!
Josh's outrage was more than justified and I think he handled the whole situation famously considering all the facts of the case.
Let he who reads the whole thread cast the first stone.
Doesn't it mean that big companies are in total fear of the very slightest slip up, and are unlikely to take risks and innovate when it could mean that they are likely to lose Billions if it even goes slightly wrong.
I think the fact that M$ lost the anti-trust suit shows that they don't know how to do _anything_ just "slightly wrong."

I distinctly remember it saying 12/29/2000. I went back to check the it later and it said 03/29/2000. Shoulda checked the cache first:(
I wondered about the 480Mhz CPUs too cuz I've never heard of them. Really made me curious since we lose a 400 just about every week due to "e-cache writeback parity error" and there's never been a mention of "try the 480's" in any meetings or from our Sun reps to my knowledge. I asked a couple guys at werk and noone knew anything about 'em.
Has anyone tried to contact the epinions.com authors of the 450 and 4500 reviews? This E450 epinion (posted June 27, 2000) is quite similar to the reviewboard E450 posting. Likewise, this E4500 epinion (Aug 8, 2000) might as well be reviewboard's E4500 post. I believe both epinions were posted at times when the reviewboard posts were supposed to be unavailable.

Please note that I have no idea who's the culprit and who's the victim here. Just reporting what I saw.
I've never met a school-a-holic who didn't tack every suffix he was entitled to onto his by-lines.

Ok, show me one that does image manipulation without requiring a frame buffer device or virtual frame buffer daemon.

What a crock of Cracker shit.
Yeah, what he said. This shit rocks. Not quite mind blowing but just a couple steps below.
