As far as Microsoft's priorities with respect to the proposed remedies are concerned, Sullivan said its top priority is to make sure the company is not forced to reveal more of its source code, insisting that doing so would substantially harm the company and give and unfair advantage to competitors, arguments that Gates and other Microsoft executives have made repeatedly in the past.
I mean imagine how much unfair advantage mozilla wourd get, if it knew of their __preload_my_libs_on_startup() system function.
well the only reason for "on occasion" is that for four vt's the ctl-alt-fx is usually enough, it is just when you need more than the first 10 vts, I use chvt
most things including the sound work perfectly, the only exception being the fonts on the status pad (the one you get for TAB)
my suggestion however is the wine build 20010824. Although it is a bit more jittery (when switching menus), it has everything including sound, which later builds break.
Oh, and do not forget to compile --enable-opengl, and set that in the configuration
now to check if deus ex works with winex (too bad loki did not come out with the port on time -- I would have bought it)
Well the comment above mine is irrelevant since you were talking only open source.
However, limewire is the counterexample...it is at least adware, yet open sourced. I do believe that there are independent copies with ads removed floating around...and that is the protection given by open source.
Yes GIF is small and yes it does animations, and yes it even does interlacing. However, it sucks for anything that is not a tiny little icon. The image is grainy, and its compression makes the smooth color transitions not very good. Also bad is that Compuserve is still the owner of the format.
Although gif may be appropriate for small images, the photo quality images look much better in jpeg.
That said, i think that jpeg is still not the best. I guess that is why they are changing it
I think a better name would be Bonzai Buddy a little tiny kamikaze program, that takes xp down faster than a swarm of scourge bringing down a protoss carrier.
The software can just dump "check for security upgrades" messages into syslog, and the administrator can decide. Now if the administrator ignores those, he deserves to be rooted.
Besides, aren't up2date, rpm, dselect, etc. exist to do the work for a lazy admin.
As for forcing -- i will mirror the general slashdot public -- hell no.
It is nice to see that open source is getting into the mainstream press. RMS is our usual spokesman, but unfortunately his views are a bit to radical....I mean he almost preaches the evils of closes source. I do not think that that is the view that we want the CEO's and the public to have.
Perhaps RMS should yield the layman press to someone with more moderate views...perhaps Linus or Alan Cox.
I am sure there are probably more people with decent public skills who are also moderate OSS activists, unfortunately I do not know their abilities that well....perhaps Bruce Perens (all I know about him is that he has some ties with the business world, and he has contributed many great pieces to the community--thank you for efence, it has saved my life many times).
Anyway, what I am trying to say is that we need to find moderate representatives, not radicals. We want to advertise (ughh, bad wording, perhaps promote), not preach or threaten.
each unit is aproximately 500kb down and another 500kb up. So yeah, it would be nice to deduct a cost of 1 Mb per unit at the current bandwidth prices.......but not possible unless seti would give out receipts, and the prices for electricity and bandwidth were standard
I find it very sad, that companies will trick the user into installing the software without the knowledge. I mean, how many users would mind a spare cycle burner to help the service they like. I mean if they included the abviosly visible message (not hidden inside license agreements) saying something like "We are providing this service free of cost to you, but in return, this service will install software that will use your computer while it is not being actively used by you, and only while kazaa is running. Unfortunately, if you do not wish to run this program you will not be able to run kazaa as our finances depend on it. We promise that no information about you or your files will be used." If such a message came from a company with not a bad reputation (winamp comes to mind), i would install the program, as would many other users, adn both parties gain. When it is done in secret, it only damages the company rep, thus making it even harder for them to make money..
Furthermore, it seems that the wasted cpu tiem is becoming a precious commodity, which I am currently donating to seti, with no financial compension (in other words I am not selling the cpu time). I wonder how long till the government will accept donated cpu time as a real donation, so i can put it on my tax return....hmmm, i am thinking about at least a dollar per unit, and i am now at 780 units, that makes it 780$ deducted from taxes, and if it is a dollar per hour....
that could be a hefty some for stuff donated to a good cause....
maybe someone at seti would give me a receipt...hey, that would mean more people doing units for them...could be beneficial to both sides...
if you have gpm running cutting and pasting is easy....highlight what you want to copy, make sure the cursor is where you want paste and in insert mode, and then just middle click, and voila -- the text magically appears -- props to the gpm crew
Linux builds are already enjoying the so called turbo mode. IIRC the kernel keeps a bunch of memory as buffers, and recently run programs and libs are frequent inhabitants of that memory. Thus if you start another copy of mozilla soon after you close the prev one, you should see a decently fast start, that is if you have a ton of ram.
that is how it was explained to me, i could be wrong though.
By your comment, it seems that you mean that you have a larger win partition:
try adding this to your fstab: /dev/hda1/win32 vfat defaults 1 0 do not forget to change the first argument to the harddrive where your fat partition is, and the second to your chosen mount point (can be anything as long as it is a real existing directory)
after that, just issue mount/win32 or whatever your mount point is
As for the replacing GTK -- no no no no. These gtk's are not truly compatible, and thus you will need both libraries. do not worry as the default install should just put them together. I also would not be surprised if you have GTK 1.0 and 1.2 on your hard drive also, so do not replace, and if you are using rpms, you would not even be able to.

This cool little device showed a lot of promise and was not expensive. Aquapad.
I have not heard it in the news for a while though.
Thu US President's salary is now 400000 starting with Bush. The difference is just enough to keep the entire secret service and the wife quiet.
well the only reason for "on occasion" is that for four vt's the ctl-alt-fx is usually enough, it is just when you need more than the first 10 vts, I use chvt
and it is also useful for scripting
most linux newbies do not have a clue how their ctl-alt-f(x) works, and I have found this tool to be very useful on occasion.
I just want to mention that ide-scsi emulation seems to work fine
not sure if i have the beta -- do not keep track of the versions. I also installed it using other versions of wine so milage may vary....
Umm I recall that some installations could not execute the file they downloaded, and so i looked around for exe in the half life directory.
i found some that looked like they were it (i remember a bunch of numbers), and executed them
just tried it with fresh cvs copy
most things including the sound work perfectly, the only exception being the fonts on the status pad (the one you get for TAB)

...it's for drinking, partying, having casual sex
and of course in most good cs colleges, the m-f ratio is so bad that the administration is actually actively trying to promote it
Sad, I know.
(no, actually, the sad part is that it is not helping a single bit)

web browsers will need a Plug-In for either Internet Explorer or Netscape browsers.
or some of us that compile our own code and use dynamic and static libraries, the change would be as transparent as recompiling libjpeg.
just another reason I like open source.
You are so right, yet so wrong.

If you play this game make sure to set UDP instead of TCP in preferences. TCP is just to slow, and the lag will make the game intolerable.

cool article, thx for posting
however, something about it worries me.....they are recommending using -O9 for compiling the kernel.....does that not sound scary?
Linux builds are already enjoying the so called turbo mode. IIRC the kernel keeps a bunch of memory as buffers, and recently run programs and libs are frequent inhabitants of that memory. Thus if you start another copy of mozilla soon after you close the prev one, you should see a decently fast start, that is if you have a ton of ram.

By your comment, it seems that you mean that you have a larger win partition:
/win32 vfat defaults 1 0
/win32 or whatever your mount point is
try adding this to your fstab:
/dev/hda1
do not forget to change the first argument to the harddrive where your fat partition is, and the second to your chosen mount point (can be anything as long as it is a real existing directory)
after that, just issue mount

You forgot the one guy who posts the predictions for the posts that will be posted.
for *nix try this -- I had a nightmare getting it compiled -- but it looks promising -- uses the H323 and seems to work with netmeeting. Gnomemeeting
PS. I have not actually tested the conferencing part yet -- that would be done tonight.
