  1. Keep coming back to Opera on Opera 6.03 - The Wild Child of Browsers? · · Score: 1

    I used IE until the beginning of this year when I dumped my windows 98. I now run mandrake and initially used Opera (with the banners) as my browser... I tried out Mozilla for a while and then Konqueror for a while with KDE3. I found both Mozilla and Konq dissappointing in rendering many sites... and I couldn't access my online banking with them. So, I switched back to Opera when version 6.0 was released... I even broke down and paid for it! It is in my opinion the best browser available for Linux... nothing can beat it for rendering and speed (at least for all the sites I visit on a regular basis).

  2. Quasar Accounting Software! on Personal Finance Software for Unix? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Try this Canadian software companies product called Quasar:

    I've installed on my Mandrake box but haven't really used it much yet.

  3. Just purchased my registration code! on Opera 6.0 for Linux Released · · Score: 1

    I've been using Opera on Linux since the early version 5's... and most recently was running the beta 6. People told me that the new Konqueror on KDE3 is the best so I've been trying that for a while... but I have to admit Opera is the best browser out there. I can handle paying $39 for it as I think it is worth it.
    Konq, Mozilla, Netscape and Galleon just aren't as fast and do not render as perfectly as Opera.

  4. Flood them with complaint emails on Under Attack by PanIP's Patent Lawyers? · · Score: 1

    What if everybody here just started sending letters of complaint to root@panip.com, info@panip.com, etc... Flood their in-boxes with complaints!

    Hey, it's been here for a while and it's called Mandrake.

    There is an article on Linux Today that says the exact opposite, that apache will die... see it here.

  11. New iLamp software on New iMac Announced · · Score: 1

    I hear they are already creating iLamp software for the new iMacs... this software will cause the entire screen to glow in colors of yellow, sky blue or soft white to simulate a desk lamp.
    A special module will be available for treatment of seasonal affect disorder.

  13. Prepare for inevitable on Microchips For Human Implantation As ID · · Score: 1

    YES, it will happen... not yet but some day in the not too distant future we will all be tagged and basic services denied to those who are not tagged.

    Maybe we should all start planning for this already. We need to start creating communities that can exist independently of the rest of society... own power supply, water purification systems, waste management systems and farming. Time to start up a commune I guess.

  14. Cyclone can solve C++ wrapper problems? on C with Safety - Cyclone · · Score: 1

    The interesting thing here is that Cyclone may be able to solve C++ wrapper problems. This is not a new problem in the C/C++ world.

    When programmers started using C++ to enhance systems written in C, they needed some way to allow C functions (functions that had no knowledge of C++ calling conventions) to call the methods of C++ objects. They wrote wrapper functions to do this. A wrapper functions is a C function that is compiled as if it were a C++ function. Because the wrapper is compiled as a C++ function, it understands the C++ calling conventions. Since it is a C function, other C functions can call it. Anytime a non-wrapper C function needs to call a C++ class method, it calls the wrapper function and requests the wrapper to make the call for it.

    Cyclone allows you to permiate your code with wrapperless sub functions which demand redundancy. You can't ask for better than thay when dealing with wrappers!

  15. Uses in the sex toys industry on Intelligent Scalpels Through Touch Technology · · Score: 1

    There is probably a lot of uses for this touch technology in the sex toys industry. The could make certain toys apply the right amounts of pressure to the right places.

  16. Re:Why not just focus on colonizing mars? on NASA On Mining Extraterrestrial Sources · · Score: 1

    Come to think of it, I remember hearing somewhere that aliens had once created a machine in one of the mountains on Mars that creates air but for some reason had abandoned it. If we could find that machine and turn it on... imagine... a blue sky on Mars!

  17. Why not just focus on colonizing mars? on NASA On Mining Extraterrestrial Sources · · Score: 1

    If their going to go as far as start mining on Mars, then why not just colonize it and start up some industry and communities there.

  18. Good idea. on Would You Pay A Penny Per Page? · · Score: 1

    By the same token, you could just create all your websites with very small or hidden frames that refresh their content every second. You could even make "money pit" bomb pages which open up frames recursively only stopping once your computer runs out of memorr/resources and crashes!
    You could send links to these pages via spam emails or better yet, just include the html in the email to link directly to your site.

  19. This idea is NOT even possible! on Would You Pay A Penny Per Page? · · Score: 1

    The author abviously doesn't understand how the internet works. There is no way to charge a penny per page since there is no definition of what a page is on the internet. I think it would have to be done by data amount but even then how would stop people from setting up web caching servers and the web site owners from inflating their sites. Also, who would be responsible for collecting the payment? The ISP or the web site owner? Would you need to sign up in order to view any page on the internet? This idea is riduculous no matter how you try to figure it out. You would in essense need to change what the internet is to accomplish this... then it would not be the internet anymore, but instead some service like Compuserve or AOL or Progidy of the old days. I wish people would stop trying to change the internet into a commercial vehicle.

  21. Command Line still best for file manipulation on MS DOS: A Eulogy · · Score: 1

    I still use msdos on my windows box and bash on my linux box to do all my file manipulation. It is much faster to type what you want to happen then to click and drag over icons and move them. This is especially true when you are interested in moving only certain types of files, it is easy to specify a mask with wildcards on the command line. Try doing any complex file selection with a GUI without having to individually go through and click each wanted file. Ugh!
