i just installed kdevelop for the first time yesterday and i was was pretty impressed. on the down side it only supported C/C++... even in the syntax highlighting part - when it shouldnt be too hard to have it for other languages as well... but ok it's 'an ide for c/c++ development' whatever... i'm so sure you're all thinking 'real coders use VI';-)
konqueror's just awesome. it does crash from time to time, but i'm happy with the features, especially with being able to just enable cookies for just a few sites in particular - like slashdot so i dont have to relogin everytime i come here, load my prefs just to filter out all my jon katz posts...
mozilla has that too, but it loads too slowly.. but konqueror's loading faster.. could this have anything to do with it being "integrated" with the kde desktop? man.. this thing is sounding like IE with windows... they're saying about implementing activeX in this thing in future releases... oh boy... next thing, "KDE updates" anyone?
Koffice is nice... one great thing they can have is to include a pdf writer into it... ps2pdf isnt good enough... fonts arent always supported properly..
i just switched from 2.1.1 to 2.2.1 or whatever it is (the one available in debian testing to one in debian stable) last night. very pleased. but so much slower. this thing does eat up a lot of RAM - eventhough i've got plenty of it.. but still...
kde-look.org's got some great themes for 2.2.1 (despite recent random postings of ugly themes and porn...)
check out the QNX theme. looks great.. but it's not just bells and whistles we're about right?
isnt this just about fuel cells? i thought the people have been discussing this as an alternative a long time ago... i remember being in highschool in the mid 90s and they were talking about this
if this is your first year, switch to an engineering degree. if you want something related, go for a computer engineering program. you get better or even more jobs that that CS degree - even with the poor job situation right now. or you can even go for the useless commerce degree and specialize in MIS... something the management people get just for doing something anyone can do. or if you want to this degree as something concrete, get an arts minor or something.
>>Few things are cleaner and simpler than a stripped-down CDE desktop. A drawer with the 4 or 5 most common applications, a clock, a trashcan, and a drag-and-droppable printer icon. No taskbar, no nested program menus, no disk icons, no desktop clutter.
how can you have drawers with no taskbar? i've never used a stripped down version of CDE, but it does sound good if i can get rid of that ugly annoying bar! gnome just runs too slow. KDE runs slower but functions better. i dont know if having nautilus will benifit anyone at the work environment...
why would anyone want to bring a portable burner? isnt this what it is essentially? this really implies that the person carrying this device is going to bring with him a few blank CDs. CDs itself arent small (except mini CDs - if this device is able to burn them that would be great). and does this thing take 30 mins to burn up each CD? talk about unusability!
making something opensource guarentees that it will never die but does NOT guarentee that it lives. for instance look at mozilla. look at openoffice. look at....
linux is the one opensource projects that i say is really 'living' - because people *know* how stable it is and how well it can do as a server.
as far as BE goes, it's good for multimedia or something (please confirm)... ultimately the larger part of the marketshare (i'm using wrong word here if they arent planning on making money as opensource..), they have to be installed at offices. obviously co-operates offices arent about multimedia and the type of 3d-games you can play in your cubicle (*ahem*)... ultimately people DO have to get work done. so as far as BE goes - dont be so sure that it would alive - alive as active alive, not as in just living.
i was wondering - if the school's poor, how would they be able to afford copies of mswindows and office 97 in their computers? since it's a school i doubt that it's running pirate copies. speaking of money, with the price that you can spend on getting win95 and office 97, you can use the same ammount of money and get a computer that's better than the 486 DX2 they're using. linux is practically so easy to set up for the internet these days i'm surprised that they arent using that.... same amount of money, double the number of computers....
remember everyone complaining about their nvidia cards not being supported under X?
wait, what kind of graphics card the the PS2 use?
well, on the same note, if people are able to get linux running under the X-box (which is to come out pretty soon supposedly) then... well that would mean there's going to be drivers for the nvidia card out there too...
the ones on cnet and yahoo are pretty bad.. but the worst ones are the flash ones that espn uses sometimes... or the java applet ones.... not to mention the X10 popups... of course they can all be disabled by mapping to bogus ip address locally on/etc/hosts or c:\windows\hosts... but hey what can you do
doesnt it sound yummy?

GNU Emacs 21

· Score: 0, Flamebait
Now all we need is a port to GTK/GNOME....
now i must say with the GREAT emacs together with the GREAT nautilus on gnome - by "GREAT" i mean bloatware, we finally measure up to microsoft software - as measured in clock cycle times and operations per CC!
GNU Emacs 21 is finally released! Image support
great... now emacs include "Image Support" - whatever that means - it sounds like it once again have followed the emacs trend - support of something that a text editor's not really suppose to support. i hope this isnt the terminal mode we're talking about... it wouldnt make sense anyway... yet
the site's down - and i dont think it's because use overclocked machines as their servers which overheated but rather because of the slashdot effect.......
... from the article they say they are "merging" with debian proper - of course that's what a company would say. it's all about the wording..
i've tried using progeny for about a little bit, but when i try shifting and symlinking my/home ->/var/home it doesnt seem to like that. it's got great hardware support, but unfortunately that was only good for the period it was released. it was good for fresh installs, but the inability to do that/var/home ->/home is just pretty bad...
it's also got a whole bunch of wrappers used everywhere - in places where it sneaks in a few progeny logos here and there. well you cant blame them - they're were a company afterall.
release 1 was quite a while ago. on the other side of the spectrum, redhat's constantly releasing beta software... what's a company to do? *sigh*
in the first place, people use progeny because they have all heard that the distro's based on debian with great hardware detection. people are attracted to the robustness and... well things actually work in debian unlike certain distros that are entirely based on rpms....
hmmm...corel, storm, and progeny are all gone.. all based on debian
we all have used windows before one way or the other and we hardly ever pay for it anyway...
either from pirate CDs, or warez or a copy from a friend - whose copy's probably pirated as well..
i'm really trying to understand something here. if you never payed for a copy of windows, why would you want to save up the money for a copy of XP?
another thing is that they people who want they old copy of windows would keep it... win98 SE is one of the better/moderately stable ones that dont take too much resources - relatively.
hmmm wait a minute. they probably need the extra cash for more RAM, more diskspace, and a new chipset whether or not they're going to pay for their copy of XP?
maybe we should aution off our pirate copies of BOTH MS_OFFICE and MS_WINDOWS....
... i guess win 3.1 all the 386es out there can run anyway..
i've been using gnome this whole time. but after reading about all the stuff that's suppposed to be good about it, i decided to give it a try... i had it installed but never really used it for my day-to-day tasks...
i'm very interested why after 5 years of development of kde there still arent many themes out there... kde.themes.org seemingly never updates, and kde-look.org has a lot of themes but they all require you to compile from source, which is annoying especially if you lack a few libraries and you need to find the right package and download them. cant they package it into something like sawfish-themes so that i can do an apt-get and everything is installed?
