The one that still annoys me most is being strip-searched for the silliest items imaginable (name your favourites here), while at the same time you are allowed to bring a big bottle of tax-free alcohol. Ever considered smashing it? Way more threatening than the average pair of nailclippers.
When the dom.disable_open_click_delay pref is set to a non-zero number, window.open will fail when called more than that number of milliseconds after a mouse click.
According to this interview Redhat is having a Q&A-session with Alan. Send your questions to (scroll to bottom of interview for this) asktheexpert@redhat.com
and they'll send the most interesting questions to Redhat.
Always interesting to see a huge group of people storm somewhere to hang people based on just a rumour. *If* AOL/TW decides to buy RedHat, and Alan will resign, maybe then is the time to discuss this? It must be a pretty scary idea, knowing that you say 3 words on LKML and having the whole/. crowd instantly judge you.
Btw, I'm surprised by the ammount of people that go for the Ostrich-approach to principles.
One of the things that's controversial about the mplayer people is their approach to support. Read this linuxworld article if you want to know all about it.
The short version:"They're a bunch of arrogant elitist bastards". (The article's opinion, I've never tried to install mplayer).
It looks like there are still some quota-problems with the Linus-kernels, check this post on the ext3 user-list, in which which Andrew Morton says that there are no known quota-problems with the ac-kernels but that he wants to test a bit more on the Linus-kernel as it used to cause deadlocks.
There never really was a big dispute about the VM subsystem, read alan's diary for an account of what happened in his opinion.
I cite November 2nd: The great VM dispute really isn't. It went something along the lines of "Putting a new vm in 2.4.10 is crzy", "Probably it was but its done so lets make it work" and at 2.4.14pre8 "See it works" "Yep".
All I've read this far was Linus mentioning handing over the 2.4-tree to Alan, I've never heard Linus talk about handing 2.4-stuff over to other people. Last thing I read was that he said it was up to Alan which VM he'd use for 2.4 after he got it.
Am I the only one that's unable to view comments with the archived stories?? Ever since/. switched to banjo archived stories appear with no comments whatsoever.
Pictures of nude 17 year olds are as much child-pornography here in Holland as they are in the USA. The "anything is legal there" view on Holland is not entirely right.
Yes, you can purchase marihuana in shops, yes, we're about to legalise euthanasia but child-pornography is still illegal and one would certainly face prosecution if caught.
Opens mouth.... inserts foot. That's why one should read the article before posting. Gnome did release Tranquility today, I was confused with yesterdays Linuxtoday-article which claimed the same thing.
If you check the gnome-ftp servers, then you'll find out that the GNOME-1.4 that Linuxtoday is mentioning is actually Gnome-1.4 Release Candidate 1. There isn't a press-release up on http://www.gnome.org either. Guess we'll have to wait a little while longer for the "real" release.
In the latest Mozilla-builds (at least it is in Moz 0.8), you can disable pop-ups by adding the line
user_pref("capability.policy.default.windowinterna l.open","noAccess");
to your user-preferences. (See here for the details along with some other neat tricks to switch off animated GIFS.)
Pretty soon these options should show up in the Mozilla preferences-menu so that one can switch them on without even opening a text-editor.
I second you on that one, saw it once again yesterday night and didn't stop laughing till very late this morning. Were the early 90's really that bad??
Basically programming-languages in other languages would follow the same syntax as they would have in English, you'd still need loops, variables, etc. etc. The only thing the foreign language adds is that less people will get it. Take for example MS-Excel, they've translated the all the spreadsheet-commands into native language, which is terribly confusing.
I know what count.if() does in the English version but how on earth should I know that it's Dutch equivalent is aantal.als()?? Or what if I ever were to sit behind a Spanish Excel? It'll read the files I made with my Dutch version without any difficulty but still it's impossible to use either count.if() or aantal.als().
A couple of months ago I remember reading an article saying that you had bought many "bad-publicity" domain-names like http://www.algoresucks.com and likewise addresses and that you had them all linked to the Gore-campaign website. When I re-checked today the pages didn't link anymore. Why did you decide to un-link the pages??

Marrying Christmas for $20? Only in America!
Once these become affordable I can start reading all the books living at project Gutenberg in a sensible way!

Turn on enable pipelining in preferences->advanced->http-networking, it greatly improves your porn browsing-speed.
user_pref("dom.disable_open_click_delay", 1000);
From: the customizing mozilla-guide:
When the dom.disable_open_click_delay pref is set to a non-zero number, window.open will fail when called more than that number of milliseconds after a mouse click.
D'oh! 3+5=8. Make that 8 PM GMT
GMT=EST+5
Which would mean 6pm GMT. Work from there

Just wanted to congratulate the both of you.
If you're an Arab or an Israeli and had to live without the language support before 0.9.8, I think you'd be surprised at how excited you'd be :-)

Sounds like a major VM-change to me
