I use this in vim (:%s), but probably 'sed -i' would work also.
I read the release, how is this different from just doing remote X and using wine?
Ie, couldn't Solaris users always ssh/telnet to a linux machine configured to use wine and run an app with the display set back to the thinclient or ssh-X forwarding?
I'm a Christian, but don't believe that things happened in the beginning the way Genesis says the do
However, I do believe in an *all* powerful God. If God wished to create this universe at this exact point in time (as I type this message), so that everything *appeared* to have happened the way our scientific understanding shows it to have happened, then he could have. He could put the current thoughts in my head and all the knowledge, and all my memories, so that I would not have any idea that I didn't have those thoughts, learn that knowledge and create those m emories.
I think one of the Hitchhiker Guide books mentions the aliens who were creating the science project that was the earth buried dinosaur bones. same basic idea.
so, you have to admit that it sure *appears* that our scientific understanding of the history of the world is correct, but if you believe in an all powerful God whose thoughts and actions can not be understood by man then you have to accept we may have been fooled.
Well, I don't know what you mean by "only blocking OSs that have IE available". my debian galeon install gets blocked with "'Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/0.12.4 (Linux i686) Gecko/20011014'"
but if I set it to look like windows/ie 5.5, with:
gconftool -s/apps/galeon/Advanced/Network/user_agent --type=string "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98)"
I'm fine. btw, you can set it back to the default with:
gconftool -s/apps/galeon/Advanced/Network/user_agent --type=string default

Oh, I see. You mean like the ability to play mp3 or ogg or DVD (see this artitcle although I still don't understand why people are so bent on seeing a dvd on their massive 21 inch monitor rather than their 36 inch tv).
Doesn't it seem backwards to anyone that Linux fans in general want a mp3 version? MP3 is pretty much entirely *not* free. I'm afraid that it might be an indication that linux folks are really "free beer" folks as opposed to "free speech".
Granted, its the most free of the widely deployed alternatives, but its not the solution. Go Ogg!
In a related story, a reporter found that the there are actual federal laws in place in the United States of America that do not allow children under the age of 18 to vote.
Massive riots have begun due to the restriction that the government has put in place. It was previously believed that *everyone* was granted the right to vote, but as it turns out, US legislation believes that young, impressionable minds are somehow different than adults.
Check out their paragraph entitled "Was Jesus a Vegetarian"
The Garden of Eden, God's perfect world, was vegetarian (Gen. 1:29-30). Immediately, God calls this ideal and non-exploitative relationship "good" (Gen. 1:31). There follow many years of fallen humanity, when people held slaves, waged war, ate animals and committed various other violent acts. But the prophets tell us that the peaceable kingdom will be nonviolent and vegetarian; even the lion will lie down with the lamb (e.g., Isaiah 11). Jesus is the Prince of Peace, who ushers in this new age of nonviolence. When Christians pray, "Your will be done, on Earth as it is in heaven," the one prayer given to us by Jesus, this obligates us to change our lives, to make choices that are as merciful and loving as possible. There will be no factory farms and slaughterhouses in heaven.
Theres one more paragraph there at http://www.jesusveg.com/index2.html about God not wanting animals treated badly, but basically, it doesn't say a damned thing about Jesus not eating meat at all. Nothing about the loaves and fishes. The only quotes in there are from Isaiah and Genesis, which are in the old testemant!
I just find those arguments (or lack there of) pretty darned funny.
I mean com'on folks. $3000? Thats really nothing to anyone from a company such as Qt, and really nothing as a reimbursement for the amount of time that any of the main debian maintainers has put into this product.
If I were a maintainer, and saw someone offer $3000 for me to sell my beliefs, I think I might take this personally.
Anyway, heres what needs to happen. Qt very simply needs to be released under the LGPL or a BSD license. This isn't news to anyone, so lets figure out how this can happen. Heres my thoughts:
Continue with something like this. Start up a fund by free software developers who want to see this happen (and likely linux software companies too). When the fund reaches something reasonable, something in the Millions, not thousands, then maybe Trolltech will "sell" its product to the GPL.
The other option is for one solid linux company to just buy Trolltech and release Qt under the LGPL. When RedHat got all that money, I dreamed that they would do exactly that, unfortuntately, it seems they didn't. IMHO it sure wouldn't break Big Blue's bank if they bought out TrollTech, and would really show people that they're serious about this "Free Software" (not just "Linux") thing.
You won't get the theme support. the mozilla project doesn't currently have any plans to make them work either. check out http://www.linuxpower.org/display.php? id=168 for an explanation from Christopher Blizzard. that link was posted on slashdot too. So, while you will have a solid browser, you won't have theme support
http://www.htdig.org/ is a GPL'd search engine that will crawl your site. It can go a certain depth, or start from any given page (like a site index page). We use it at saintjoe.edu and it works wonderful for everything we need.
We have the indexer running on a cron job twice a week during the middle of the night. It does kinda screw up webalizer results, but you can work around that.
Theres also one called glimpse, but my experience with that a few years ago showed it to not be as useful as htdig. things might have changed, though, and YMMV.
Duhhh.... www.copyleft.net is the place for geek gifts. my particular favorite is the simple shirt with just "geek." on the front.
And on the top of my list is the Simpson's Music CD, the new one is out now, check it out at amazon.com. This link may expire, so just do a search for "Simpsons" in the "Popular Music" sectoin. They've got 4 albums now, if you include the oldest (and really bad) The Simpsons Sing the Blues.
What else.....CDs full of MP3s are good.....or if you know that your geek has a CD Burner, blank CDs are always useful. You can get them for around a buck a piece at your local best buy.
Also, just check out linux.ora.com. If theres a book there that I don't have, I'd be happy to receive it.
So, GraphOn's Bridges allows you to run a windows application, and display it on your linux box, from what I understand.
If this is true, then why would Corel spend money on such a product when they can get (virtually) the same functionality using VNC?
The only difference between what I understand Bridges to be and VNC is that VNC would put the entire desktop in a window on your Linux box while Bridges would only put the one application that you were running in that window.
VNC is a very solid application, that I've to run those windows applications that I still need while sitting at a Linux box. The only benefit I could possibly see in Bridges over VNC is that Bridges could (possibly) take advantage of the (semi) multi-user part of NT while VNC does not.
While I've not run servlets, I do have experience with IBM's java. While it is much faster than blackdown or kaffe, it has a much larger startup time than perl does from what I've seen. Not that the this means anything, but for simplicities sake try writing "hello world" in perl, and in java, and then run them. You'll see that java was slower, to start up (and thats assuming that you'd be using perl as a CGI--which you probably wouldn't be doing)
It just seems to me, that the majority of web scripts are more like "hello world" then they are like complex scripts that would benefit from OO.
object orientation forced opon you is massive overkill for the types of things that people do with HTML and databases
PHP and Perl are both designed to do exactly these kinds "texty" things.
php and Perl can both do anything that java servelets could do themselves, or by system calls (if you just felt like you needed to use java somewhere then you could do it here)
see number 1, its really true.
Java is not the answer for everything. It does somethings well, and has loads of functions built into it, but it doesn't fit well with CGI stuff.
Linux definitely wouldn't be where it is today if it wasn't open source. There are many reasons for that, most obviously, if only one company owned it, you wouldn't have had all the contributions by others and by the community.
One of my favorite comments about open source was (I think) made by Eric Raymond. He said something to the effect of "Linux is not the end all of operating systems. There will come a time when it is no longer sufficient. However, when that time comes open source will have had such an impact, that the idea that its replacement could be proprietary will be considered absurd"
I agree completely. Linux is great, but things will change in ways that linux can't change, and we'll need another operating system built from scratch with the hindsite we've gained when it does become outdated. (No, I don't foresee that anytime soon). While Linux gets the credit, this is much more an "open-source movement" than a "Linux Movement".
For those above who have cried that this is a violaiton of the Separation of Church and State, I would like to argue agains that.
The separation of Church and State as defined in the Bill of Rights had no intention of keeping Religion from influencing politics. Its sole purpose was to keep politics from influencing religion.
There is no problem at all with fundamentalist Christians voting for a particular candidate based soley upon their religious beliefs. Nor is there a problem when those same Christians run for office, and get voted in. This is a democracy, and when democracy works, the majority gets what they wanted.
What occurred in Kansas is a failure of democracy based completely upon the combination of uninformed voters and non-voters.
It is a sad case, and one that I'm certain will be overturned after the next election for those seats, but it is what the people (the informed voters) wanted. Democracy worked. We should all look at this as a call for us to take elections and our right to vote more seriously.

So if my question was "how is this different than crossover wine + remote X?", the answer would have been just "ease of use".
Thats fine and definitly good for some people, but its not really like its a new development.
I read the release, how is this different from just doing remote X and using wine?
Ie, couldn't Solaris users always ssh/telnet to a linux machine configured to use wine and run an app with the display set back to the thinclient or ssh-X forwarding?
I know I've done this linux->linux.
someone enlighten me?

or did you just want to play those MPEG-1 (there are several others) or MPEG-2 or or
Basically the point I'm trying to make is that the multimedia stuff is there already. just use it.
The one piece I know of thats missing is Sorenson (sp?) codec quicktime player. anyone doing this, or know of a project that is?
