  1. Re:Riding on the coatails of Amiga? on QNX give update of new Amiga OS and GUI · · Score: 1

    Actually as, last time I checked, Amiga Technologies had signed a deal with QNX to base the new Amiga OS on QNX software, I think it has a right to call itself Amiga.

    Also, maybe it's just me, but even Workbench 3.0 isn't the prettiest of OSes. Before the Amiga fanatics jump on me, no, I haven't seen 3.5, and I know there is NewIcons & co., I even have a 603e PPC Amiga sitting next to me; but still, I think a new look is the way things should go.

  2. Re:QNX Snapshots == Fake? on QNX give update of new Amiga OS and GUI · · Score: 1

    Just a thought, but most of the snapshot programs I've seen output to lossless formats...

  3. Re:Sierra: Port the old games!! on Sierra Studios asking about Linux · · Score: 1

    "Pretty easily" is very relative. It would hardly be a few hours job :) Seriously though, aren't there programs out there to run most of the old Sierra games?

  4. Hmmmm... on Mozilla M6 released · · Score: 1

    Just downloaded it, and I have to say, it feels like a step back, to me. It just crashed on me for
    the first time ever, and seems slower (certainly mozilla-viewer.sh is heading towards snail like, IMHO, and run-mozilla.sh doesn't feel as fast as the last version).

    Anyone else experiencing this, or do I kick my system a few times until it decides to play nicely?

  5. Re:pico/vi/emacs sucks. on Ask Slashdot: Which Web Authoring Tool is the Best? · · Score: 1

    I haven't tried the very latest versions of these, but the web was never designed for a WYSIWYG-ish editor, and most still don't give the control of plain text.

    Also... I once rewrote a 10mb site, created with Frontpage, by hand, and without removing any content, took 4mb out (mostly in FONT tags). Other examples include stripping all the junk out a 125k file to get a more readable 25k file.

  6. Re:Rage 3d pro? on Linux Q3Atest Released · · Score: 1

    AFAIK the cardbus isn't even _close_ to being fast enough.

  7. Legalizing spam is not a good idea on ISP Sues Spammer · · Score: 1

    Here in the UK, (terrestrial) TV licensing is only for BBC 1 and BBC 2, which have no adverts. The rest use adverts to support themselves.

    We also have to pay for _all_ phone calls, meaning spam e-mail directly costs us money, even if we delete it on arrival.
