    wow, i made a mistake, so f*cking sorry, i'll just kill myself ok?

    i don't know why you were modded down??????

    i agree with you, while i work on GTK+ apps, a few friends are using VC++ and are laughing at how ugly my widgets are.

    guess changing the look is harder than i think.

    peace yo.

  4. no worries for linux... on OS X on x86? · · Score: 1

    ... if you read that other story, some dude got linux running on microwave oven, and he even clustered them to play quake.
    os x on intel and powerpc, linux on fridges, curling irons, alarm clocks, pacemakers.....

    we're fine, don't sweat it. curl it

    peace.

  5. not surprised... on Intel's Competitor to the Crusoe Processor · · Score: 1

    ... intel has a bunch of smart kids working for them.
    give smart people alot of time and money and they replicate
    something that already exists, shocking.

    peace.

  6. i think the best point is.... on Is Linus Killing Linux? · · Score: 1

    ...the fact that no one is *really* responsible for linux. the day that changes we'll see bigger companies moving to linux.

    i had to fight tooth and nail to get linux used in a certain bank in canada, due to the fact that support doesn't go thru *official* lines.

    i got it on the webserver, but so far that's it. (there's only so much you can do when you're at school :-). as soon as internship time rolls round linux will be running my department.

    peace.

  7. what about all of us?? on EFF Appeals 2600 Decision · · Score: 1

    what does this mean to all the people that downloaded the software???

    could this possibly get so far out of hand that someone shows up at my door asking to sift thru my computer???

    legal stuff scares me.

    to be honest i use windows2K for quake 3 team arena because that's what i have it for. don't have the linux binaries.

    radeon support is a little better in win2k.

    as soon as i have the time i'll cram 2.4 in and try to get quake running with the penguins.

    peace.

  10. use what is best. on Is Mac OS X Threatening Linux? · · Score: 2

    i say this alot to all my friends: use the OS/hardware combo that works the best for you.

    being a CS student, i have to use a UNIX variant so i use linux most of the time, but windows 2000 for quake 3 team arena. and when it comes to doing a video for my housemates band, we jump over to our mac for iMovie.

    i do think that OS X will threaten linux as well as *BSD, even as far as giving windows a run for it's money.

    there is room for everyone and we NEED variety, god knows that using one system all the time is boring, and i don't really think that you can survive only knowing one system nowadays.

    this is just my experience, family use macs, housemates use windows, CS crew use linux, gotta know them all.

    peace

  11. at mcmaster.... on Are There Any Academic Works On Open Source? · · Score: 1

    at mcmaster university up here in the frozen north our fourth year project (4ZP6) it open sourced, we have to sign a license stating that we will open the source code.

    according to one of my profs the license is based on the berkeley one. taking it next year so i don't know how close it is to the GPL.

  13. cost on Canada May Name High-Speed Access "Essential" · · Score: 1

    right now i pay 39.95 (cable) a month in hamilton and back in toronto i pay 49.95 (DSL) so 50 bucks is not that expensive.

  14. most important aspect on Massachusetts Universities To Require Laptops · · Score: 1

    i think that the more important aspect is the fact that more material will go online therefore allowing the students to pay attention in class rather than wasting an hour attempting to write down what the prof is saying.

    this is my situation at school, all my cs courses have the notes online, so rather than take notes, we dicuss.
    on the other hand my religious studies courses (required) nothing is online, so i write like a bastard trying to get the ideas down.

  15. IBM T86 on Super Large, Super Hi-Res LCD Screens? · · Score: 1

    i picked up a black T86 digital input in august.
    the difference between my old CRT and this is enough that i still look at this thing and think "this was money well spent."

    $4000 (up here in canada) was worth it.

    18.1", digital in, 1280 x 1024, 90 Hz. top notch.
    i'd recommend buying one.

  16. same thing happening to me on Moving From Tech Into Management? · · Score: 1

    my employer is moving me from application develpoment to project management.
    now i'm reponsible for a tech team of 6. i guess what made the decision easier was the fact
    that i'm now much much higher up in the company, responsible for technical direction as well.

    my advice is to go pick up your PMP certificate, i'm doing mine at university of toronto eh.
    hardest thing for me was having to divorce the tech side of my job, which is essentially nonexistent
    now, from the managing side. the upside of that is the fact that i develop much more at home now.

    best of luck

  17. not *that* bad on Apple Licences Amazon's 1-click Shopping · · Score: 1

    i *think* that apple is trying not to put all it's eggs is one basket. if the 1-click thing makes their store better, they'll keep it, if not, out it goes.

    they do have alot of money in the bank.

  18. job determines platform on Has Linux Lapped Apple As Competition For Redmond? · · Score: 1

    i think that the job that you're working on should determine the platform you use. at work, i use NT because everyone else does, and i find that working with sybase and ultradev is better when you have less headaches. at home, the house server runs openbsd because it's nice and secure, and apache screams on it. for the graphics courses the house takes, we use a mac.

    there is room for everybody.

  23. hmmm, on Kuro5hin Forced Down By DOS · · Score: 1

    combine that with the fact that they talk about security alot, it would appear that rusty's threat is not a hollow one.

  24. quick thought on cases. on Rumors Removed At Apple's Request · · Score: 2

    i recently had to move ISA fax cards to PCI fax cards in the dell 4200. the sheer pain and aggravation of opening the case, adjusting the cards and then closing it up again drove me insane.

    now, my dad has a blue and white g3 and to open that and switch the hard drives was like a walk in park.

    apple contiunes to hold advantages over integrators like dell bacause of the innovations that they incorporate into their software and hardware.

    finally, on the software side, apple enforces their User Interface Guidelines because consistency is important to them as it should be. i develop my linux applications according to apple's guidelines.

    thanks goes to eazel and helixcode for seeing that linux sorely needs consistency.

  25. 16 and famous on Interview: Jon Johansen of deCSS Fame (UPDATED) · · Score: 1

    All kids at one point want to achieve fame. is this how you pictured it unfolding in your case? Does the legal aspect of your story tarnish the fact that you broke a relatively strong encryption system while only 16 years old? Or, in other words does the tech aspect overshadow all of this legal hot water??

    Wishing the best outcome for you.
