could not agree more -
I "programmed" auto parts, medical equipment, tile, fine china, military aircraft / satellites, cosmetics, meetings and conventions, pharmacy, railroad logistics, shipping, US government,...
why the fsck this is a "troll"?
It is very important to verify the downloads and Mozilla did not post the checksums!
The one on the Torrent page does not match the actual file. Mine was
MD5(FirefoxSetup-0.9.exe)= bd8b24fab87a39f104674c4689fa3257.
Whoever modded this troll, needs his geek priveleges removed.
that is an interesting question. Mine is
MD5(FirefoxSetup-0.9.exe)= bd8b24fab87a39f104674c4689fa3257
I cannot find on the Moz site what it is supposed to be. Anyone else?
exactly.
And this is just single, stupid, run-of-the-mill moon. How many breathtaking images can be taken throughout our solar system? Orange sunsets on Titan? dust storms on Mars?
Space has the appeal because it is there. That is why I think space tourism is real. People will go and pay for the opportunity to see this.
Will it be beyond our capability to launch a space hotel into long comet-like elliptical orbits?
kinda interesting to watch the JDS effort.
You would think that someone like Sun has nerves,resources,etc. to pull a decent Linux desktop.
The reasons it is not are probably combination of:
internal apathy of the development group - Linux, desktop, whatever.. Any AC from Sun can comment?
cluelessness of the upper management - there is no marketing plan, they just grasping the straws
wrong marketing (different from cluelessness). Wtf it is called "Java"? To me, JDS would mean a Swing-based desktop shell on top of very thin Linux distro. Now, that would be innovation.
Overall, the JDS just confirms the point that you do not have to be a multi-billion-dollar co to produce major product and when you ARE a m-b-d co, your product may still suck. The innovation is the field owned by talented individuals and hungry startups.
I used the Xandros for a while. It is very solid, interoperates with Windows networking very well. It did not run on my laptop, but on the desktop it was stellar.
The only problem it does not have latest and greatest components, the kernel is 2.4.
Look at Mandrake 10 for more general purpose distro on the 'leading edge. Just make sure to try Official, not Community.
.. get people into the habit of running CVS or Subversion client on "their documents" folders. Tortoise integrates right into Windows explorer. Advantages: file versioning, ability to work off line and still sync with the server later, etc.
if people actually work with plain text docs, they would love how CVS,etc will merge multiple users' changes.
Of course you would back up your CVS server but in case of a crash, chances are that very important file can be found on the desktop of the user who edited it the last time. Much better than relying on a network drive and then it is just not there.
So if I am to start developing a new desktop GUI application, what should I use to make it cross platform? And don't say "java" or "wxwindows".
It cannot be C#, Windows Forms combination because Mono does not have real support for Windows Forms yet.
Would I be able to package GTK# in some kind of installable form for distribution on Windows so I can do C#, GTK# on Mono? Is this the right way to think about this?
Can I use Visual Studio to develop Mono, GTK# applications?
How much of the info stored under your various accounts is actually important if you are dead?
if you are running a business, it is generally a good idea to run it the way you can walk away on a moment notice: pass it to someone or put it up for sale. You should already have it planned and documented.
If you do not have a business and we are talking about random ideas and some IP (code) developed over years - how much of it is actually useful to other people? Unless you are one of those big thinkers with unfinished manuscripts everywhere - not much.

Make sure youall do upgrade.
in my case, the difference between "community" and "official" was the difference between "what the fsck was that?" and "rock on!".
it takes time.
Imagine scenario when some outsourced personal data will surface on a website in some 3rd world country. It is only matter of time before it happens. Public outcry will be enormous.
I installed mandrake 10 Official and for the first time ever (under Linux) my laptop was going to hibernate properly.
Unfortunately, now it does not wake up;-)
Oh well, maybe I need to wait for Mandrake 11 for that.
Will be trying Fedora 2 tonight
so maybe someone will enlighten me.
If you build a cluster, among other things, you pay premium for:
high density server components;
major cooling and power.
Now if I use gigabit for the transport, can't I just distribute my boxes throughout the building so they can breathe easily?

... I dont feel very bright this morning.
I kept following these links and they just dont' work!
Then I realized I am in Mozilla, of course.
>>I waited until I came to a point where I absolutely needed the internet
So it is just like with the pay toilets of yore.
.. it is not in the Atlantic, it is not under water, but other than that it is Atlantis just like Plato described it?
no shit. Melinda G. was a project manager on that project and that is how they met. ;-)
For a geek, this is as far as innovation goes

it does not respond on 80 or 443. Anyone knows what the trick is?
And potentially scratches someone's itch too...
the Element has handy shelf to put your gear, 12V outlet and audio IN, but not the AC.

Unions also mean you are paid the same as the idiot in the next cube but less than idiot who is two years senior.
I will take my chances, thank you.
