  1. Re:Firefox on Fedora Core 6 Released · · Score: 1

    Firefox 2.0 wasn't released in time to make it into the distro, so no. I don't think it's likely that you'll see an official FC6 update to 2.0 either, but I guess you could allways install a dev package once it becomes available.

  2. Re:"Cool!" on Amazon Unbox Video Store Launches · · Score: 1

    I'd like to chime in as well. Extremely fast and free delivery on everything, very good prices, most often the cheapest after you take free shipping into account, and last but not least their customer service is EXCELLENT.

    "kinda strong" eh? That should be easibly crackable with a simple dictionary attack.

  4. Re:KDevelop on What is the Ultimate Linux Development Environment? · · Score: 1

    Yes you can. I've got everything organized into subfolders that get compiled into static libraries and then linked with my binaries as needed.

  5. Re:link to article on COWS Ajax - Ajax Evolved · · Score: 1

    No. You meant to shamelessly promote your own company and product on /.

  6. Re:KDevelop on What is the Ultimate Linux Development Environment? · · Score: 3, Informative

    It's definitely improved. Good "IntelliSense" like funtionality in the editor, expand/collapse scopes in code, gdb and Valgrind properly integrated, nice class browser, nice build manager... all in all there's not much I don't like about KDevelop these days. I don't think I've ever had much need for the manual so I couldn't comment on that. What do you mean exactly by "grouping" source files?

  7. Chapter 11 filing on the horizon? on Phantom Lapboard On Sale August 15th · · Score: 1

    If you click on any of the investor related links they refer to IFLB as the ticker symbol. Well, IFLB is gone and Infinium is now a IFLB.OB toy stock, trading at $0.015.

    I know where my savings are going!

  8. Re:But what about "seeing" with our ears... on Gaze Detector Lets You Hear With Your Eyes · · Score: 1

    That is scheduled for 2.0

    It's supply and command you know!

    I'll second that! Quick link for the lazy

  11. Re:Ugh, now you tell me... on Eight Hour Coding Session Causes DVT · · Score: 1

    Stretch your legs once in a while and you'll have no problems, even if it's just a few short trips to the vending machine or a chat by the water cooler.

  12. Re:Damnit! on Debian Etch to be Released in December · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Sounds like you chose the wrong distro... use CentOS instead.

  13. Re:FreeOTFE on Open-Source or FIPS-Validated Disk Encryption? · · Score: 1

    According to the website, TrueCrypt 4.2 (released only 2 days ago) now also supports creation of volumes under linux.

    There may be other features missing though, I wouldn't know...

  14. Skolelinux on Linux vs. Windows for Schools? · · Score: 1

    Have a look at Skolelinux ("School linux"), a distro specifically tailored to fit a schools needs.

    Yes, E3

    In any case I'm willing to bet you don't work at either of the two.

    Warning! A PDF is lurking behind the first link there!

  20. Re:Privacy != Freedom && Freedom != Privac on It's "1984" in Europe, What About Your Country? · · Score: 1

    If I call my friend up to chat about the old college days I absolutely have a right to privacy. What I talk to an old friend is ABSOLUTELY none of the governments business.

    And it still isn't. The demand isn't to log WHAT YOU SAY OR WRITE in a telephone call, an SMS or an email, it's just traffic monitoring and it's not ACTIVE surveillance.

    They only want logs that say person A called person B at this date and time for this long. No need to put on a tin foil hat and go hide in the basement just yet.

    I'm not overly happy about this either, but there's no reason to go completely overboard - yet.

    In the words of Captain Beefheart:

    I don't want to sell my music. I'd like to give it away because where I got it, you didn't have to pay for it.

    I mean, that's worse than getting a pair of socks.

  24. Re:Back to the basics on Lego Mindstorms: What Went Wrong? · · Score: 1

    They are somewhat trying to cater for this through their Lego Factory offering. Build a LEGO model using their Digital Designer software, upload it to LEGO and buy a custom LEGO set with all the pieces you need for your design.

    It's still not the same of course - building something hands on is where the fun is when you're a kid, not designing it on a computer.
