    Yay for portability!

  8. Yes at least in Apache world on How Much Java in the Linux World? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Check out http://jakarta.apache.org . All of projects are under Java and they are highly sophisticated open source project. Also some of http://xml.apache.org projects are under Java too. So I say not maybe highest usage but sophisticated apps are written under Java and most of them are open source.

  9. Konqueror will have it! on Better Browsers for Text & Form Handling? · · Score: 2, Informative

    KDE Developer George Staikos heard your prayers ;) . See http://lists.kde.org/?l=kfm-devel&m=10644750911077 0&w=2. Kudos to KDE team once again ! .

  10. .NET on linux on Windows Cheaper When Studied by MSFT Analysts · · Score: 2, Insightful

    .NET works on Linux too with Mono. Why not compare Mono/Linux to .NET/Windows so we wont compare apples and oranges.

  11. More sites on Sites Shut Down to Protest Software Patents · · Score: 1

    KDE website was down too to protest software patents, Turkish computer related site www.fazlamesai.net was down too yesterday.

    Afaik kopete will support MSNP9 protocol ( its in the works ) . So Kopete users will be able to use Msn after the ban too.

  13. Re:Sigh on GCC 3.3 Released · · Score: 1

    Well testing is helping too just got my gcc-3.2.3-gcc-3.3 patch. I have latest 2.5.x kernel so I can try and report any failures. Btw I did not mean to say gcc 3.3 does suck or anything like that its just they are postponing bugs to get a release done that hardly makes a user happy. I would wait for more if they promised to fix c++ compile time regression.

  14. Re:Sigh on GCC 3.3 Released · · Score: 1

    Maybe the kernel is buggy but what about increasing c++ compile time regressions since gcc 3.0 ?

  15. Sigh on GCC 3.3 Released · · Score: 5, Interesting

    And "cant compile kernel with gcc 3.3" messages started to appear on lkml. Is it me or gcc team goes for quantity rather than quality that they even postponed many bugs ( like c++ compile time regression ) to gcc 3.4 to release 3.3...

  16. Well .... on Microsoft Forced To Translate Office Into Nynorsk · · Score: 1

    For translating KDE programs into Turkish I ( and %99.9 of other translators ) use KBabel which helps you edit GNU style *.po files.

  18. Re:NO NEED TO RECOMPILE on Mozilla 1.2 Beta Released · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Normal anti-aliasing & xft2 anti-aliasing are not the same. Xft2 can anti-alias without using XRender extension of X windowing system and Xft2 is far more easy to customize compared to Xft1. :)

  19. Re:If only... on Mozilla 1.2 Beta Released · · Score: 5, Informative

    It does actually , uses GTK on Linux and native widgets on Mac/Windows when classic theme is selected.

  20. And Blizzard Represents.... on Mozilla 1.2 Beta Released · · Score: 5, Informative

    XFT support on Linux! Now we can get cool anti-aliased fonts on Linux!

    You must compile from source with --enable-xft and need fontconfig & xft2 package from www.fontconfig.org and of course freetype2 from www.freetype.org

    Great thnx to Chris Blizzard for this!

    Oh btw now HTML for controls & scrollbars use your native GTK theme widgets when classic theme is chosen.

  25. Smart Card support with GnuPG? on PGP 8.0 Beta Released · · Score: 4, Informative

    Did a fast googling and found that its already supported :)
    See http://www.opensc.org/

    GnuPG is a better choice for *nix users because it can be used
    from KDE or in your console mail client mutt,pine etc :)
