  1. Re:Proprietary forks not bad for end users ... on TiVo Says It Could Suffer Under GPLv3 · · Score: 1

    Apple do publish the modified kernel source code, though. And they have contributed a few interesting things as open source, such as launchd and the upcoming Darwin Calendar Server.

    They have also, of course, released their modified version of KDE's KHTML as open source (WebKit), as well as their changes to GCC and other GPL licensed projects.

    So they do release source even when they're not forced by the license. Presumably to gain goodwill. Just freeloading would probably hurt their chances of appealing to the Linux/BSD using market.

  2. Re:Dvorak is fun! on Is DVORAK Gaining Traction Among Coders? · · Score: 1

    The only way I've found is to change it in the registry. Go to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contr ol\Keyboard Layouts\E0010411" (at least on my system) and change "Layout File" to the right DLL.

    Now, you wouldn't happen to know how to change the shortcut for switching layouts to something other than the braindead ctrl/alt+shift?

  3. Re:Want Finder improvements on Apple's Illuminous (Aqua v2) to Compete with Aero · · Score: 1

    I think SpotLight makes use of FreeBSD's kqueue which they ported a while ago. It provides a way for applications to receive notifications from the kernel when certain conditions change. Why doesn't Finder use this?

  4. Re:Changing a system on ICANN Under Pressure Over Non-Latin Characters · · Score: 1

    The Brazilian computer without a Japanese method probably doesn't have Japanese fonts either, so even if the hypothetical webmail server had an ASCII URL, you wouldn't be able to read any of the text.

    If it does have the fonts, but for some reason not an IME, I suppose you could Google for the company's webpage, and cut and paste. Or find the characters with WWWJDIC.

    So kanji in the URL doesn't present any additional obstacle.

  5. Re:One-time importing from SessionSaver? on Firefox 2.0 To Debut Tuesday · · Score: 1
    I have several dozen pages open, and I'm wondering: is there any convenient way to bring those pages forward? Basically I just want to import my session.
    I suppose you've already solved it by now, but if not: Create a bookmark of all the tabs. Then open that folder in 2.0 and select "Open All in Tabs".
  6. Re:Improvements for developers, too on Firefox 2.0 RC2 Review · · Score: 1
    Great, the user data will be stored in blob rather than in textfiles.

    I guess you haven't read about the Mork format they currently use.

  7. Re:It's a huge victory. on The Pirate Bay Is Back Online · · Score: 1

    You haven't looked very hard then. Here's a video from the news where they talk about it: http://svt.se/svt/road/Classic/shared/mediacenter/ index.jsp?&d=52447&a=602092

  8. Re:Linuxulator? on WineX (And Warcraft3) On FreeBSD · · Score: 2, Informative

    I think "linuxlator" refers to the Linux compatibility in FreeBSD. So, yes, it is something different than an emulator running under Linux. It's not an emulator, and not running under Linux.
