/usr/local/bin/ymessenger has been great so far, but file uploads don't work; in fact when I last tested it,
file uploading caused the connection to drop. Haven't tested file downloads since I haven't tried it with any Windows users who have a more well-developed yahoo client. Funny thing is, ymessenger didn't tell me my connection dropped... I was just going by the
'spirilis has logged off' message from Yahoo chat. It uses GTK 1.2 for its GUI, and I think it's pretty sleek.
Makes me wonder, though; Yahoo just sorta released it shortly after AOL released AIM for Linux... I guess Yahoo had this client all along?
It's version 0.93.0 so unless they're playing a version number game, they've been developing it for a while...
All around sleek looking though. For other open-source Yahoo clients, check out Chimmy's Yahoo Client (ncurses/console based), GTKyahoo (the link off freshmeat 404's for me... hmm--it's www.unixtools.org/gtkyahoo/) and Everybuddy.
Everybuddy does ICQ, AIM, Yahoo and MSN messengers... but the buddy list interface takes some getting used to.
heh kool, so does that mean Joe A. ScriptKiddie could crack an X-Box and post pictures of nudes getting it on
along with a blue screen background with IBM 8x16 VGA font lettering "wh4s up b1tch I 0wn3d j00r g4m3 5y573m mother fucker! 1llegal operation all the way to your while(1) { cli() }!" ?:)
MP3 players--the mpg123 project is where it's at.
XMMS uses a "libmpg123", which is based off mpg123. Not sure what freeamp uses as its
codec, but the 'mpg123' program is by far THE premier MP3 decoder for Linux:)
haha, I know this was humor, but consider that he xfers his mail like that because his laptop most likely doesn't have an internet connection when he's out and about (probably doesn't like the idea of expensive cellphone-based dialup either)
And besides, Hotmail blows on GNU/Linux anyway; sure netscape works, haven't tried mozilla with it (how do you get SSL working on mozilla? er nm I'll be flamed for that question...), but Lynx/SSL doesn't at all. Anyone know what's up with that? (Lynx and hotmail)
I haven't really used ghostview much, just 'gv', and I always browse a document with zoom factor 2 and antialiasing--which brings me to another question. That ghostscript uses Type 1 fonts, or no? Is it possible to use those same fonts that gs uses to render ps/pdf in X11? Or should I even bother, considering how horribly unreadable it is (even with antialiasing enabled) on my 800x600 monitor?
Has anyone got Galeon compiled on the latest Mozilla nightly builds? Last time I nabbed that gtkmozembed.h Galeon's source code was asking for some enum items that weren't even in there... Is Galeon staying up-to-date with the nightly builds or should I just wait for M17 and Galeon to catch up to it until I compile Galeon again?
I dunno about you, but I interpreted that as "The Open Windows Project and Developers" hold the copyright, but license it under the GNU GPL. Kinda like how GNU software is copyright-owned by the GNU Project, isn't it?
I've got a new point of view: Pirate Windows, and use Linux, but do it because you're a dirty bastard! Not only do you enjoy the freedom and ability to reap off other peoples' work in Linux, but you also embark the dark-side glee of stealing off Microsoft's work! No rationale, just pure selfish greed. Get both your OS's free, one as in speech, the other as in beer, and live the good life like every other hoodlum!:-D
Minus the rest of your post, I'll agree with the topic; any single hot secretaries might consider FUCKing the sysadmin on Sys-Admin Appreciation Day. Trust me, it'll brighten him up a little... and you never know... maybe you'll make one person whose homedirs he won't accidentally delete!:^)
Uhm, I doubt it... the Cryptologic Museum... I've been in it 3 times (twice with my scoutmaster who works there, once with a club in high school) and I don't have security clearance:) I like that Cray XMP-24 they have sitting in there though... it was a cool bench to sit down on;)
You know, your monitor might have something to do with it--my monitor is an old refurbished piece of junk, and white on black proportional fonts (read: thin) are torturing to read... 'cause half the lines fade out from the dimness of the monitor (also read: maximum brightness and contrast settings!)
OTOH, reading a similar site on the 17" Trinitron monitors at my college computer labs with similar fonts yielded different results... and it was FAR more readable! I personally use the 8x16 VGA font with my 'rxvt' terminals with a white-on-black interface... since it's a thick font. But some color schemes still irritate me (like Chimmy's Yahoo client's dark blue and dark green colors on black... yeah I should change that myself)
Restricting people like Joe Sixpack unless they meet some kind of strict safe-driving criteria wouldn't be too bad of an idea to me... perhaps it'd keep the morons off the road a bit? well probably not... but anyway...
To keep even more within the spirit of the Linux community, how 'bout someone just write a Perl script to download the ads (and register the hits) automatically?;-)
I've heard about another format called SMR... which according to one friend is of higher quality than DivX. I don't use Micros~1 Winblows so I'm not really in the loop when it comes to movie piracy...
I'd guess the VNC project would have to revamp their efforts off the current XF86 4 tree... probably building a single X server with all the modules statically linked (is that possible?) I've used VNC from college too... in a Microsoft-centric place, a taste of X11R6 is great:->
On an off-topic note, I just discovered the 'lbxproxy' program that comes with XFree86... Low Bandwidth X Proxy. Lets you run an X server proxy from another machine which relays X events and info to yours via a highly-compressed and optimized X protocol... has anyone used this on a wide-scale basis? Could anyone comment on their success with it?
Well, I've never heard of HomeSite so I don't know much about it, but for highlighting and quick HTML editing (along with toolbars for commonly used HTML tags/constructs), you may consider the Bluefish project: http://bluefish.openoffice.nl/ I thoroughly enjoyed writing my first fairly large PHP project in it, but the only gripe I have about it (and maybe it's a bug) is the fact that I had to sometimes hit F5 or whatever it was to tell Bluefish to re-highlight everything. But when it does it looks nice.
hah, speaking about recording sounds in public places... ever watched Enemy of the State? I hope everything they do in that movie is fiction, but I wonder if it isn't already done in some places...
I can't believe you've never heard of an Origin 2000... but anyway... It uses a MIPS R10000 64-bit processor, at either 195MHz or 250MHz (reading off a spec sheet I have)... Supports the XIO I/O system, which sustain 1.25 GB/sec bandwidth for each XIO device. The "maximum rack system" supports: 1 to 64 node cards (multiple numbers of these racks can link together)... to form a 2 to 128 CPU system "I/O bandwidth: 80 GB/sec sustained, 100 GB/sec peak" Supports 128 3.5-inch Ultra SCSI devices, or 16 5.25-inch SCSI devices Supports fibre channel. The stock Origin 2K's run IRIX 6.5 according to this sheet, and it consumes about 5500 watts (rack machine), with 18750 BTU/hr heat production
I got this all from a small booklet (Product Guide) that I got while on a field trip to SGI in highschool 2 years ago... As for comparing against a dual PIII 800, I'm not sure what the R10K's can do... they're not mega-powerful 64-bit processors but the machine concentrates on the I/O bandwidth more than anything...
I believe this should be at the top of the comment thread along with the rest of the Score:5's... (I read with highest scores first, and I'd imagine a lot of people do). It's rather informative and (for this discussion) critical information.
I'm assuming you copied all of that from a textbook... because I can't imagine some TrOlL having such knowledge. Amazing that I understood it all too...
I think the "prior art" part of that would prevail... although Microsoft should patent the method of "causing other companies to fold", then license its patent only to itself, and use it on itself...

Probably for doing antivirus checks on incoming email, so those who still use Windows have that protection.
