  1. Re:Why cvs history is important for Khtml etc. on Safari And KHTML May Never Meet · · Score: 1

    Well only confidential part is partner/website names in the cvs log. Rest is just code.

  2. Re:Why cvs history is important for Khtml etc. on Safari And KHTML May Never Meet · · Score: 1

    Khtml developers were ready to sign NDAs to sanitize those cvs changelogs but Apple never reacted on that.

  3. Why cvs history is important for Khtml etc. on Safari And KHTML May Never Meet · · Score: 5, Informative

    Every change in khtml has to be run through a regression suite to make sure it doesn't break anything. Now if you fix something a new regression test is added for that.

    If you get fixes with no log of what they fix you will end up with bunch of code which you have no idea how to test for regressions. This is just one of the reasons why diffing codebase doesn't cut it.

    Another good reason is damned diff is ~6mb because Apple guys never send small patches but only dump WebCore tarballs.

  4. Re:Stop complaining on Safari And KHTML May Never Meet · · Score: 4, Informative

    Huh? They got Khtml and Kjs from KDE, without them there is no Safari , No Dashboard. Got it?

  5. Re:diff -uBwr KDE_KHTML/ Safari_KHTML/ on Safari And KHTML May Never Meet · · Score: 3, Informative

    When the diff is 6MB yes its damn hard.

  6. Well well on Microsoft to Introduce PDF competitor 'Metro' · · Score: 1

    After all Adobe & Microsoft are indeed competitors. This might even explain latest Macromedia buy out.

  7. What about wmv/wma dlls ? on Microsoft to Launch 64-bit Windows on Monday · · Score: 1

    Will they bit 64bit too? Then we could use them for mplayer on pure 64bit Linux's which currently only supports dll loading on 32bit due to the fact that no 64bit dll is around. OR will Microsoft cheat and just provide 32bit versions of these which I think is more likely.

  8. Thank you IBM! on Help For Those With Shaky Hands · · Score: 2, Interesting

    My hands are shaking since I was a child and doctors say there is no direct cause for this ( ie no known disease ). And its usually tedious task to use mouse. So thank you IBM =)

  9. Not a joke on Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger to Arrive in April · · Score: 5, Informative

    Safari team is getting ready for a new Webcore release too. So Safari 2.0 is near that means Tiger is coming soon.

  10. Re:Don't feed the troll on GNOME Ignoring its Own Users? · · Score: 0, Troll

    Now she became a troll because she no longer writes pro Gnome articles?

  11. Re:Novell's attitude towards Linux desktop on Bounties for Gnome Optimization · · Score: 1

    KDE would develop in a faster rate if corporations like Novell support it more. There are many big plans for KDE4 but without corporate support it just takes more time to implement those.

  12. Novell's attitude towards Linux desktop on Bounties for Gnome Optimization · · Score: 4, Insightful

    As you can see from Novell's actions they are totally biased towards Gnome but still they make more money out of Suse distribution which uses KDE extensively.

    Feel the irony?

    They should instead be desktop neutral and support KDE developers too...

  13. The need for kernel security advisories on Security Holes Draw Linux Developers' Ire · · Score: 1

    You should note that most of us learnt the last do_brk() vulnerability from Slashdot. And kernel hackers just fixes big security holes like this and silently updates Changelog. Imho there should be advisories from kernel.org .Its not a valid excuse to wait for distribution's advisories. All other projects publish their own advisories and kernel is not really different from those.

  14. Fixed kernels on Local Root Exploit in Linux 2.4 and 2.6 · · Score: 1
  15. Re:Konqeuror Crash on Google Suggest · · Score: 1

    Yeah it works fine.

  16. Konqeuror Crash on Google Suggest · · Score: 1

    It shouldn't crash in KDE 3.3.2 or KDE 3.4 alpha1 as khtml is much more mature now. Just FYI.

  17. Re:Guys please! on Former Turkish DMOZ Editor Draws 10 Months In Jail · · Score: 1

    I don't approve this behaviour. Free speech is lacking in Turkey like this. TRUE.
    But never ever call a Terrorist Organisation a "Worker Party".

  18. My goddamn point! on Former Turkish DMOZ Editor Draws 10 Months In Jail · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I don't approve or say its ok to jail someone because he wrote something on the web.

    I just want you to know that PKK is not a "Worker Party" but a Terrorist Organisation.
    So you should call them so.

    How about you do a research and see that even Europen Union aknowledged PKK being a terrorist organisation?

  21. Re:Guys please! on Former Turkish DMOZ Editor Draws 10 Months In Jail · · Score: 1

    Calling them a "Worker Party" makes me feel sick. I saw the children they killed on TV. Sorry If I'm being too emotional but you can't call them a political party. There are just bunch of terrorists.

  22. Re:Guys please! on Former Turkish DMOZ Editor Draws 10 Months In Jail · · Score: 1

    Also EU acknowledged PKK being a terrorist organisation but still lagging on Kadek afaik.

    No my point is they are not a "Worker Party" but a bunch of terrorists.

  24. Guys please! on Former Turkish DMOZ Editor Draws 10 Months In Jail · · Score: 2, Informative

    As a Turkish guy I can tell you PKK is a terrorist organisation now known as Kadek.
    Guilty of killing about ~30k people including children and women.
    Please see http://www.teror.gen.tr/english/organisations/pkk. html for more info.
    Also note that USA acknowledged recently PKK/Kadek being a terrorist organization.

  25. Tested Konqueror on IE Shines On Broken Code · · Score: 4, Informative

    None of the samples in http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/mangleme/gallery/ was able to crash Konqueror from KDE CVS Head. Heheh time to praise Khtml developers again!
