I now only use GMail, I never was able to really get Evolution to work for me. Seemed like a lot of extra stuff that I didn't need, and the search is nothing to GMail.
I also like the lable system better than the folder system.
That being said, I will invite the next 3 people to respond to this post.
So all of my nerd friends now have GMail accounts, and I have already had 11 invitations. Yesterday I got 5 at a time.
If you respond to this post I will invite the highest modded replies when I get more invites. Which should be soon since I am using GMail for all of my email exclusively.
AutoPackage is the coolest thing ever! I am frankly amazed that Linux install could be this easy. I am now off to package my own work with it if I can...
If you RTFA you might notice that by living in Pakistan there is no doubt a noticable lack of Walgreens, BestBuy, CompUSA, etc... At least I didn't notice any around there.

Sure, but when you fill the card out you are narrowing the search space considerably. I don't say that I am going to climb Mt. Olympus unless I really mean to, and I will most likely have looked at a map and plotted my route, and told someone about it before I left.
It really just comes down to the fact that there a lot of really stupid people. One time we were coming back down after 4 day hike and this guy was a day out of the base and ran out of food....we gave him some extra oatmeal and just trusted to darwin from there.

So it turns that they already have a system like this... you are supposed to fill out a tag that you wire to your pack, and a carbon copy goes into the box that is sitting out.
Seems to work well enough, I question the need for a high-tech solution. If people want to be dumb, let 'em. Otherwise there is non-intrusive, low-tech, easy to use system already working.
The problem with the proposal is there is no user ibput so you don't know when to start worrying.
The most important thing is that they make the controls like Halo. With seperate joysticks for x-y axis and looking, you have so much more control, and that is why it is such a good game. Its toobad the PS2 controllers suck so hard, since you couldn't have the same kind of control.
Thanks, the AC poster says that businesses don't want to see "Free/G/K/GNU" in the products they use, which I think is wrong.
If a business user is using "OpenImage"/"FreeImage" their PHB isn't going to start wondering about illegal versions since he would realize that it was free software.
I personally find that Illustrator is even more candle repellent. In terms of Vector graphics manipulation, I think it is tops.
This is the company that invented PostScript after all.
I would, and have looked into it and written some code that way. However I am using Piccolo for my graphics, and while there is an SWT port, it just doesn't work as well.
But, since Piccolo has a.NET version I would like to make a GTK# version that uses Cairo and stuff.
So I am mildly interested in C#, being a Java developer. I primarily use Linux, but I do some Windows at home. Can someone tell me how to get mono working on either platform?
I would really like to port my Java stuff to GTK#, since it might be faster, but whenever I try to install mono I get errors like:
MSVR70.dll was not found
and on Linux it seems to just be dependency hell, since we are still on RH9 at work.
Well, any tutorial links( my googling has not turned up anything useful...) will be much appreciated, then I can start DeDRMSing some stuff.
The difference being that Macs cost a lot, and there is no bargain option. Yeah there is the eMac and the quality is better etc. But the computer is being viewed more as a disposable appliance that needs to be replaced evey 3-4 years, so why get the nice one when you know its going to crap out on you? With Linux you can still use the cheap hardware, and hopefully get the usability benifits that Windows lacks.

speaking of yum.... how do add the mono servers to my yum.conf?
- 1-i386
[mono-fc1] name=Mono FC1 repository baseutl=http://www.go-mono.com/archive/1.0/fedora
doesn't work: Error: Cannot find baseurl or name for server 'mono-fc1'. Skipping
sorry, you got beat.
ok, one left.
you gotta at least have username, i.e. no AC's.

Hot Damn!!!

or it is a small company/on campus center wanting to give someone a chance.
Dan Savage shared someone else's experince with doing this sort of thing...

yes,
decent public transportation that doesn't blow.

Why doesn't /. have a Linux section? It has an Apple section so why not a Linux one.
It does, it is just mislabled as "main".

yeah,
You can modify the JVM and stuff, but it still has to pass a strict set of Sun's tests, and is under Sun's liscence and not an OSI certified one.

Hah, you know what...
I totally forgot that it creates an exe on windows. I was trying to do "mono DeDRMS" and gettting errors. I should try this out.

It seems like there should be a Mozilla extension that use the entire GMail API to present the same UI to the Desktop client...
So, what about playing console games? That is the main reason I want one of these... can anyone offer some experiences getting Halo to work well?
