I have RedHat 7.2 which comes with KDE 2.2.0. I used it and loved it. Today when I downloaded the RH72 RPMs for KDE 2.2.2 from ftp.kde.org and installed them, the system keeps slowing around all the time. The processor is not used, but some of the applications like Konqueror and Licq can hang for several seconds, minutes or even hang the entire desktop.
I think the current availiability for stuff on the Internet is good, might even say great. But if that is blocked with DRM, the Internet will just be a place for big companies to make money.
Though, for possible new things, like video-on-demand, etc., DRM is the only way to make it work, and I think it's ok. If I rent a movie and have to return it the next they, I'll be just as happy when I "rent" a video on the net, and it will only be possible to watch it once, or for a limited amount of time.
In the development todo for mySQL 4, they have a list of "Things that must be done in the real near future". Quite far down on that list I found:
"* Add support for UNICODE."
That's great, because mySQL 4 is about to be released any day now.
As a PHP developer I wanted to know if php supports unicode. This is what I found:
Strings: "A string is series of characters. In PHP, a character is the same as a byte, that is, there are exactly 256 different characters possible. This also implies that PHP has no native support of Unicode."
Since they are making new laws to forbid strong encryption, they might do something useful and introduce a law that forbids software which can be (easily) used to run worms on.
That might kick M$ from their chairs and make them focus on the quality of their programs, instead of the quantity.
The beauty of a LFS system is that you are in charge. If you want to (and if you know how to) you can make a clone of a RH or Mandrake system. It's up to you how well it works, how much PITA it is to upgrade KDE and yes, it is perfectly possible to install gnucash on "such a system" (which is btw called Linux).
The only problem with LFS is that you have to have a quite good understanding of how Linux works. But it's also a great way to learn...
Very nice, but still something missing...

Mandrake 8.1 Released

I've been using Mandrake, loved it.
I've been using RedHat, loved it.
I am using LFS, married it.
You say something is good in this distro, something is bad in that distro. Make your lives easy and get the most out of your machines. Make your own distro! I did it and now I'm running the very latest, the very best, and only the things I want to run. Nothing more, nothing less.
From the Mobilization Against Terrorism Act: The purpose of the legislation is to provide the President and the Department of Justice with the tools and resources necessary to disrupt, weaken, thwart, and eliminate the infrastructure of terrorist organizations, to prevent or thwart terrorist attacks, and to punish perpetrators of terrorist acts.
That sounds like a great idea, as long as it means eliminating things that are used for terrorist attacks only!
Using properitary software without a proper license is illegal. How many of us can honestly say that we have never used a pirated copy of anything? Not many.
So what would happen if strong crypto was made unavailiable/illegal? The ones that need strong crypto would still use strong crypto (including the terrorists (if they actually did)) and the only ones who wouldn't use strong crypto are normal people trying to live a normal life (but a less secure one now that crypto is insecure).
They can't stop people from using something, they can only make lives more difficult for us. And because the data they might be interested in would still not be encrypted the way they want, there is no point in the whole idea.
I hope the government would try to understand that before doing something they will regret later on (unless they use terror as an excuse for being able to monitor people for their own purposes).
I am pretty sure we all know his opinion about this, but I'm interested in knowing his thoughts about this, and what it might lead to if backdoors were introduced.
There are not enough positive factors in a cash-less society that it would actually (at least in the near future) become true.
If all the paper bills where removed, you would never actually have any money. It would just be like somekind of a score at your bank's computer. Many and many more need to be able to look at the real money, feel it, smell it and hear it.
And besides, how cool would it look like in a movie when the bad guys come with a steel briefcase containing a credit card?
1) please don't say star office. just don't. this whole shell thing that takes over my desktop just to view a document. t-h-e v-e-r-y s-l-o-w i-n-t-e-r-f-a-c-e.
If you want lightweight, try AbiWord. It's fast, reliable and easy to use. Come to think of it, it's alot easier than Word (which in my opinion is one of the most difficult programs ever invented).
And the KOffice package is quite cool, and after a few versions it might become excellent. If you think StarOffice is slow, you might want to try out OpenOffice.org, which is the new open source version of StarOffice (might be faster, haven't tried it out yet).
...i can schedule a meeting with 8 people all ot once by just checking their diary availability...
Ever heard of Netscape Calendar? That's the same thing, you can schedule meeting in others calendars, etc.
And the most beautiful thing is that if you don't like something in a product, you can always edit the code and recompile. Think about how many lives (or nerves) one could have saved if Outlook was open source. You don't like viruses? Here's a nice little patch that disables all the nasty security holes in your Outlook.
That's great! Let them increase their prices as much as they want. That will cause people to look for better and cheaper solutions, like Linux.
It's kind of weird that they don't realize that increasing prices will do just that, and it will make more and more people download pirated copies of their products.
But hey, that's not my problem... Keep up the good work M$, soon you will make the open source community the market leader.
Why is this? Are Apple more daring and adventureous than all PC manufacturers?
I think it's because Apple is just Apple, and can basically do whatever they want with their systems.
PC manufacturers have to be more careful, because the product has to be supported by other hardware and *all* the different OSes (which usually means M$ Windows). The open nature of the PC makes its development pace in some cases slower than ie. the Mac's.
Who would want to use something like that? The only real use that I can think of for that kind of a keyboard would be for blind people. They might find it easier to find the keys. But for the normal/. reader, that's just another ugly plastic box.
The SirCam virus runs properly under WINE, with a few omissions. It does not properly create registry entries to make itself launch at boot. Also, it did not e-mail itself out to others, but that is partly due to not having Outlook installed under WINE at the time of testing. Thus I am not sure if this part of the program works correctly or not. What does work correctly is extracting the embedded document into your temporary folder.

Since they are making new laws to forbid strong encryption, they might do something useful and introduce a law that forbids software which can be (easily) used to run worms on.
That might kick M$ from their chairs and make them focus on the quality of their programs, instead of the quantity.
The beauty of a LFS system is that you are in charge. If you want to (and if you know how to) you can make a clone of a RH or Mandrake system. It's up to you how well it works, how much PITA it is to upgrade KDE and yes, it is perfectly possible to install gnucash on "such a system" (which is btw called Linux).
The only problem with LFS is that you have to have a quite good understanding of how Linux works. But it's also a great way to learn...
