I was reading about NX a few months ago and saw that someone is writing a NX-extension for X11 so you can just ssh to a box, set DISPLAY to something like "nx/192.168.0.1:0,port=6789,ssl=1" and run single applications using the NX protocol, MUCH MUCH faster than plain old remote X. It also enables you to "take over" an existing session. It requires that the extension is enabled on both X-servers. Unfortunatly their site is currently slashdotted so I can't find a link..
If more people would start posting magnet links to their files, then you wouldn't have to.. The magnet link contains the MD5 (or whatever it is) checksum and that gets passed right to your P2P program.
It's a SHA-1 checksum (which is even more secure than MD5), but you get the checksum for the file, even if it's a trojaned one. The only way to verify is to compare checksums with the file from the original site.

Yes it is. You probably have "pc102" as your keyboardmodel in your XFree86/Xorg configfile. You need "pc104" or "pc105" or one of the specialized models (logitech desktop for example) so the X-server can see the keys. Most distros handle this by default but if you created your own configfile you may have missed it.

The Windows key is a better candidate for this as it's not used for anything on a Linux system anyway.
Except for opening the "Start"/"K"/"Foot"/"Whatever"-menu just like in Windows.

As the other poster said: Insightful, not Funny.
For example SmartEiffel compiles Eiffel-code to assembly-like C-code and then compiles the C-code to executable code using an ANSI-C compiler. Smart and efficient way to make a new compiler produce extremly fast code and be crossplatform without an extra effort.
Wait until they add the special variables like $_ and $^... I'd like to have a chart over how to do simple stuff like accessing a string in an array in a hash.. I always forget where to put that cryptic $\@%-stuff..
If you like the concept of Perl but hate the cryptic syntax and feel that Python isn't flexible enough without being too verbose, have a look at Ruby! It's 100% OO down to the core and it's simply beautiful! It's Perl done right.
It's nice to see companies supporting Linux, but unfortunately I can't use it until they make a amd64-version since 64-bit browsers can't use 32-bit plugins..
The Linux kernel can run 32-bit code but can't link to 64-bit code so to have a 32-bit browser I'd have to also have 32-bit versions of all the libraries it depends on, and their dependancies, all the way down to glibc and ld.so.. Not worth it.
Is it possible to run isolated 32-bit code inside a 64-bit program? Something like an exec32() libc-function or something? To make 64-bit Mozilla run Flash and make 64-bit MPlayer load win32-codecs.. I'm sure you'll have to make some kind of wrapper-code to convert int-sizes etc when sending/getting data from/to the library, but would it be possible at all?

Great, now all the ____ fanboys are going to forge results to make their codec look good. Talk about useless tests.
Not possible. All you will get is a bunch of WAV-files, you have no way to tell which file belong to which codec.
That said, I don't care which codec wins the test because Vorbis is still the only one free from patents and the margins are so incredibly small. Vorbis will win for me even in the unlikely scenario that it comes out last.
Redesign filters to use Sieve internally. Allow editing of Sieve scripts on IMAP servers to get rid of the bug reports a la "KMail doesn't support IMAP folders for fitering"

Did you even read the blurb?
"Red Hat has released GFS under the GPL"
Ok, so you only have to get that acidic skin condition. Sounds easy enough.

PHP has the command "pear" which does exactly that. I even think it's installed by default in recent PHP-distributions.

Just imagine being able to say "Main screen turn on." in THAT place!
I probably still will be using Dosbox, UAE, MESS and MAME to play some 80s games every now and then. :)

If it just runs as the user (which it appears to) then you could erase the users information that way, but not the disk.
Oh, so it will just erase all of my 100s of hours of work but not the reinstallable OS? What a relief!
One question is, how bad can it get? Will there one day be a "Worthless" project? There is already a "Waste".

Well, I've seen better names than ProjectTraq Intranet System Services aka "PISS" anyway..

Still better than "WMA WMA WMA" :)
Yes, like tan and stuff.

Why is it Microsoft's job to sacrifice it's own profits for the benefit of society as a whole?
Because.
Let's just hope that they don't screw it up by requiring a bunch of Gameboy Advance to get the most out of it... :P

No need to mess with the BIOS, your bootloader could do the work.

Not if the disk is whiped clean before boot.
10 Bitch about something Microsoft did.
20 Clone it like hypocrites.
30 Goto 10.
You're forgetting that the people who "clone" and the people who bitch are usually not the same persons.
