Is that bash, or test? that's be an external in sh.
It may be optimistic to think every scriptwriter distinguishes the -lt and the left-angle-bracket (Slashdot chokes no matter how I try to include the character, yes I know how to in HTML,/. doesn't) semantics; for too many, if it works on the three test runs they make, it's correct. Look how many times the problem with 08 and 09 has to be explained in tclsh groups:p
I wonder, too, about sort... did everytone that wrote a thing that sorted on the timestamp, use the -n?
By forking off new processes rather than having a new process link to all those shared libs as it starts, time and memory ARE saved.
Gee... I thought the OS took care of all that sharing on its own, to save paging and VM. But I can attest konqi is not always loaded; it seems to take forever to start for me. (That may be because us NetBSDers are having a bit of a dispute about the Right Way to handle KDE's modules:p I suspect I still have many that run as processes instead of shared objects.)
As for its rendering speed... I dunno. It may be slower overall, but the progressive rendering of tables on my 56k link make the wait tolerable. GAWD I hated trying to read a large not-completely-crippled/. page on Navigator... You do want something faster than my 100MHz Cyrix, I'll tell you that =)
H'm. I don't see how they can wrap around the existing string, since that's pulling them =)
I don't see how the new string can get any more wrapped around the existing cables than the former string was (although it could wind around the new cable, if you're sloppy, and that obviously accumulates). This install should always have a puller and a "pusher", someone who ensures the new cable enters cleanly and who takes as much weight off the puller as possible... who pushes as much as the cable permits.
Lee Valley sells (or sold, I should check) three grades of nylon braid that would probably be ducky for this. The smallest was 45# strength, and all wonderfully smooth and straight (off the spool:). I've had some out in the fish pond, in the sun and/or underwater for a year, and no serious damage yet. Would probably last nearly forever in a dark dry conduit, assuimg no cable jacket reacted with it.
Ew! Sawing at your existing cables with a hard conductor instead of a soft insulator. I presume you don't mean leaving a fishtape in place, that's obviously expensive.
Konqueror is based on mozilla, NOT
on
QT Mozilla Port
·
· Score: 1
at least, if it were, they majorly violated the give-credit principle on which open code survives.
You grab kdebase-2.1.1.tar.bz2;
you grep it for mozilla, netscape, etc; you'll find nothing of significance. A couple of user-agent strings, and grumbles about Moz still falling short of its compliance claims. Nothing along the order of "we hoiked this from the Mozilla project".
Try framing and answering some very easy verifications before unrolling nonsense like that.
I was emailing a web authoress just yesterday, about how Konqueror's presentation of her... well, `really bad' HTML is the only thing to call it, and offering help, info, etc. She wanted to know what Konqueror was, what she'd been doing wrong, and thanked me much for the philosphical and tehnical background, and started fixing the site.
I wish all web creators were so open to helpful criticism... I find it interesting that it tends to be the amateur, in any field, which has what's usually called a professional attitude...
Anyway, not to say you're wrong about the lack of backlash as such; but this was the first time in years I heard back `I tried it in Messie and Nessie' without it being followed by some snarky `get a real browser'-ilk remark. Is the struggle worth making? Can we win? who knows... but I figure there's getting to be some, let's say, non-fringe competition in user devices, especially handhelds, and recognition of access issues, which might show there's money to be made by compatibility instead of in-. Cross our digits...
An external SCSI drive, like Macs used to have, except with a heavy case to contain the extra feature: a small explosive, incendiary, or strong electromagnet. push a button or issue the right command and foom! data all gone.
Assuming you have data that'd get you in more trouble than the explosives or incendiary.
I thought the best quote was fom the Wall St Journal, where the use of an existing open standard is called "a big mess to clean up" that has to "attacked on many fronts".
pfft. Those drywallers probably left Acadia "U" Fizzplant looking for new challenges, after their crowning performance of using a Sun quad-processor board as a wheel chock.
heehee - Konqueror has no trouble, assuming this is the page in quo.
IIRC that's yet another old Netscape stylesheet bug,
where a missing sheet makes an awful mess instead of just being ignored.
maybe if you guys trimmed down on your HTML and overly image heavy pages, that would speed things up more considerably
Probably would, although there are user options for getting lighter HTML (indispensible under Netscape. but Konqueror's progressive rendering is sufficiently awesome i've gone back to the fancier pages, partly because they have links the plain pages dont *cough*).
As for images... i dunno, expand your cache or something (assuming/. doesn't set something that hoses caches). or turn off image loading.
i haven't found a lot of Louis Couperin (not that poser François), either scores or MP3s, for instance. Amounting to a sheet or two of what I know he wrote.
I haven't found that little intro Fox put in front of sheep may safely graze, either; or whather Bach wrote it or he did.
there're other things but i've forgotten them for now. If they're on the 'net, they're too hard to find; i said ten years ago indexing would be the biggest problem, and I was right. But I wish I'd thought of trying to index it despite the impossibility; i'd have money now:(
i'd thought maybe this one was serious (even with the `olfactory' thing), that someone'd worked out a new additive primary that'd flesh out the video gamut, or maybe about the fourth receptor that some people seem to have that' isn't connected up, but no...:p
Ya know, there's some sort of an April Fool rule against post-noon fooling...
Oh, and thanks to Microsoft innovation - you may remember this from the trial - the browser is integrated with the OS, [etc, etc]
That is inaccurate.
What you quoted is not inaccurate. It was established in the FoF that it is virtually impossible to remove IE from Winduhs98,
and thus simply removing the vulnerable software is not an option. If KDE had such a flaw, you could rm it entirely, or simply stop running it.
What's perhaps worse, is that a lot of Winduhs users I know would think they could avoid
the problem by using a browser like NeoPlanet, not realising it's just an IE wrapper. They'll
plunk themselves into the worse situation of thinking they're safe when they aren't.
That is what M$ innovation gave us.
Ever heard of the term "reuse"?
Yes, it's called linking a library and it wasn't invented with OO. And from the way DLLs get sprinkled all over the system I don't think a lot of SW authors accomplish/bother with "reuse" on Winduhs anyway.
who really thinks that the Columbia would preserve the Public Domain license E. Power Biggs had on most of his recordings, now that he's dead and they're being recollected on CD??
Uh, well... some of us don't want to bother tweaking the code in our operating systems.
I know I sure don't; but when I got desperate enough to use my CD drive that I dove into NetBSD to fix the lockup that it caused, it was certainly nice to be able to. And that the fix, ultimately, was another line in a quirks table, meant it was a lot less painful than I'd feared. Granted, not all OS tweaking is that easy, but I think sometimes there's an aura of sanctity about the kernel that's not always justified.
He's not cocky; he's brutally frank. He'd be cocky if he classified himself as one of the "good performers". But read carefully... if you can:p... he does not do that.
You literally tell the computer what you want
it to do, and its amazing compiler will produce perfect code.
Uh, no. A computer capable of dealing with natural language will make the same errors dealing with its ambiguities as people do.
The idea it'll produce "perfect code" in short order is silly.
I'm reminded of how the very first programmers were so surprised that their programs didn't work right the first time and had to go through test and repair cycling. It's a nice fantasy that it'll produce perfect code the first time; but it's just a fantasy.
Oh yeah, then there's the formal proving thingy
that was a fad a few years ago. You'd write program A and feed it to program B which would
tell you whether A did what you wanted. Beautiful
idea! The reality is you have to tell B precisely what A is supposed to do, which amounts to reimplementing A as C... and then the best that B can tell you is that A and C are equivalent. You
still are unsure A or C do what you want. And of course Turing threw an awful wrench into such ideas by pointing out that B will never finish in some cases - making this
an instance of the idea being provable pie-in-the-sky...
Nope. Sorry. Natural language is a nice idea, and I think we will have useful natural-language
channels to computers one day... but not for robust programming.
You have it backwards. The reason Open Source
is doing so well is all the programmers sitting around bored because "real"
work has been hard to get for a couple of years.
(Matloff mentions ways in which the industry's been
shooting itself in the foot with H-1Bs but this
is one he missed. Or at least he had in October; I haven't read it lately.)
I bet someone's mentioned it by now but in case not... I was installing MySQL and noticed
this article:
On Nov. 6, a team at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center finished the
transition of the NASA Acquisition Internet Service to mySQL with barely a
hitch, said Dwight Clark, computer systems analyst and project leader for
NAIS....
"We noticed an increase in [speed of] performance" since the change and
have not experienced any problems with the product, Clark said. "We kept
waiting for the other shoe to fall from the time we started investigating
mySQL, but it never did."...
The President's IT Advisory Committee
recommended in September that the federal government encourage
open-source software as an alternative for software development for
high-end computing and allow open-source development efforts to
compete on a "level playing field" with proprietary solutions in government
procurements.
I figure it's that last bit, the PITAC's advice, that eventually got Jim Allchin
in a stir a few weeks ago. It only took him five months:p
Slashdot Mirror
(I thought Schindler's List was an unfortunate example, since it's nearly all B&W and hasn't any pickles that I recall... specially blue ones... =)
shrug Some like it done fast, some like it done right.
"agenda" is a plural
BTW I highly recommend O&M to the hackish crowd =)
