  1. GTK. my god get rid of it. on Evolution installer for Win32 Released · · Score: 1

    Ah. Another wonderful display of the abomination that is called GTK. I don't know who is responsible for this piece of graphics-toolkit but I do hope they go learn from Microsoft, Trolltech and Apple for future versions.

    funny thing is that "Freundlich" in German means something along the way of "friendly","cordial","pleasant" :-)

  3. Re:Konqueror succeeds at ACID2 and gets Adblock! on KDE 3.5 Beta 1 Announced · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I'm not sure I understand your point here.

    Are you an Apple developer so you know that they are "newbie developers" ? Do you know that they littered their source? Have you even looked at WebCore?
    I did, and it is one of the tightest integration of an HTML engine I've ever seen.
    I presume you miss the goal of what was to accomplish:

    1. the KHTML want to make a full-fledged HTML engine
    2. the Apple guys want to make an Apple Webbrowser(!)

    there are fundamentally different concepts of the two being compatible in the process of engineering. that the KHTML guys wanted to know what they did is understandable, as per required by the license, but, once more, the Apple guys were never obliged to make the
    source "generic" as the KHTML engine would need it (one could wish).
    it was only after this reputation clash, that they opened up all of their WebCore to show their good will.

    so no bad rep. to apple for this. also no bad rep. to khtml for this. why?
    because in the end, what matters is, that both of the projects improved.

    oui, but they opened up and that's what matters, after all they were not obliged to do so.
    (the long-old discussion of "choose the right license if you can't cope with it".)

    I say kudos to the KHTML/Konqueror Team for making this world-class engine,
    and also to the Apple WebCore Team for improving it even further.

    Konqueror (I suppose with the Apple patches in, thanks guys) now succeeds at rendering the ACID2 Webstandard-Tests (yes, we know that it's not an official standard. Firefox still can't do this.

    And best of all, its got AdBlock-like functionality integrated, that works like a charm. Even with the Filter G Set for Mozilla Adblock.

    That's one less user for Firefox, I'm sticking to Konqueror now as it is faster and not as memory-greedy.

    Check it out!

    Austria: 9.80 Euro (that's 11.80 USD)

    16er, along with Schwechater and Egger are amongst the most disgusting brews of beer to ever wander the face of Austria.

    lucky bitches that we are, they still even outperform everything else that gets imported
    (with the exception of the fine brands from Czech) :)

    So, if you really want a taste of good Austrian beer try the following:

    -Hirter Märzen (if you like it tasty)
    -Villacher Märzen (if you like it dead-on)
    -Stiegl (if you like it kinda sweet)
    -Murauer (if you like it as grand addition to dinner)
    -Gösser (if you're into kinky stuff)

  19. Re:Time Travel is IMPOSSIBLE. on New Model Solves Grandfather Paradox · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Actually it is proven that time travel forward is indeed possible (Einstein proved that in 1905 with his special relativity). It is happening all the time [sic]. Relative motion in spacetime in accordance with the absolute spacetime is what we perceive. This relative motion's duration is different for every observer.

    So in fact, yes, time travel is possible. It just only proven for forward time travel. Backwards... We'll see about that...

    There is the ESTB (EGNOS System Test Bed) which is generating the information, currently located in Toulouse, France. Yes, you can get EGNOS-data in UK.
    And no, it won't make sense, because WAAS only works above the USA. (as EGNOS only works over Europe)
