  1. More features on Gaim Forks To Get Voice And Video Support · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Hey devs! How about file send and receive and display pictures for all protocols, please? Pretty please?

  2. Integrity on MS Hires The Salesman Who Won Munich For SUSE · · Score: 3, Insightful

    So people trusted this guy to switch 10k machines to linux. Now, how will people look at his face when he is promoting windows OVER linux? Seems there isn't such thing as integrity.

  3. Re:Qt vs Java/Swing on A Taste of Qt 4 · · Score: 1

    However, since then Sun has done their homework and made Swing fast (indistinguishable from native, for the most part),

    Swing is, and always will be, a running dog. Try SWT. Real, native interfaces, done via jni.

  4. Re:64 Kb on First Person Shooter - Under 100KBs of Code · · Score: 1

    Bytes? You newbie! Back in the day, we only had a few bits to work on

  5. Re:Just curious on Yellow Dog Linux Gets 64-Bit Version For G5 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Who knows, maybe one day we could get our macs without an OS. They are a hardware company after all.

    Apple, are you listening?

  6. Re:But... on X.Org Foundation Releases X11R6.7 X Window System · · Score: 1

    Where's the BSD is dying troll post, renamed to match the X situation, when you need it?

  7. Re:nowhere near on Dan Gillmor Reconsiders Linux on the Desktop · · Score: 1

    Installing for windows. The person knows how to get to the store, fork cask, go home, and put the cd in and click next, next, i agree, finish.

    You said easier.

  8. Seamonkey lives! on Mozilla 1.7 to Become New Long-Lived Branch · · Score: 1

    So it seems that "mozilla browser" and "mozilla mail" is delayed to 2,0

  9. New stuff on Ars Technica Looks At GNOME 2.6 [updated] · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    File selector, after 4 years, finally it doesn't suck (and it's even a gnome thing but a gtk one)
    Spatial nautilus, annoying to me. Good thing i can disable it.
    Better performance in gnome-vfs. Not more the horrid performance of 2.4.
    Improved epiphany. Bah. Back to firefox

    Not much else. Back to kde for me

  10. Re:QT? What about licensing? on Novell Desktop To Standardize On Qt [updated] · · Score: 1

    Dude, that article is dated 2001, when qt 2.0 was around

  11. Ironic on You're Watching Less TV · · Score: 1

    On my newspaper, i saw an article that told that in the year 2003, people watched an average of 15 minutes more than the last year

  12. Re:QT? What about licensing? on Novell Desktop To Standardize On Qt [updated] · · Score: 4, Informative

    Maybe for unix and mac, but there is no windows version. The windows version was 2.something, and if you buy a book you get an older 3.1 version as well.

  13. Re:GTK is out, then? on Novell Desktop To Standardize On Qt [updated] · · Score: 2, Insightful

    my feeling is that all of the existing
    toolkits today (Gtk, Qt, XUL and VCL) will
    become obsolete and we need to start looking
    at the next generation toolkit system.


    Which IS the next gen toolkit?

  14. Re:Novell's Direction on Novell Makes More Open Source Moves · · Score: 1

    3) Early versions of Windows used NetBIOS, which is no good for the routed world.

    I think you meant NetBEUI

  15. Re:New Technologies? on Cebit 2004 Coverage · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Remember when your OS came in 5 1/4 disks?

    And now, some of then come in DVD?

    It's scary. Software programs will get so big that to a point humans won't be able to develop them.

    Now, a decent game takes near 3 years to develop, when those old commander keen games were done in 3 months

  16. Re:Where's VB for unix on C++ GUI Programming with Qt 3 · · Score: 1

    Red Hat: Doesn't include MP3

    Debian: Outdated

    Gentoo: Takes to long to compile

    SuSE: Now we need a new thing to complain about SuSE.

    How about that Gecko think, I never liked him any way.


    I will try. How about the fact that you can't download evaluation isos? Maybe we should have a SuDoRa or something.

  18. Re:Power Power Power on PHP 5 RC 1 released · · Score: 1

    Would you please bother to make an example of this? I may be getting wet into web programming for my thesis and would really like a simple example, like reading a table from a database and outputting it into a simple webpage with some simple CSS.

    As i use macosx, i already have php and apache built in

  19. PHP vs ASP vs Perl on PHP 5 RC 1 released · · Score: 1

    All right, i have never used either, but would like someone to summarize what are these 3 languages about.

    Perl syntax is obscure and complicated, php seems to be only used for small pages, and asp, well i haven't seen much people talk about it especially here, but i do see it getting used in big sites.

    Also, there is jsp/servlets.

    I am one of the guys that think that everything has it uses and that there are things in which a tool excels at. So can one explain me what would be a proper use for all these technologies?

  20. Everything seems ok on Mac OS X 10.3.3 Update Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    Just updated. Nothing broken so far. Waiting to see if they fixed my top bug, which is that finder often hits 100% cpu use without doing nothing and i have to kill -9 it. Don't know what triggers it, but probably is related to having special view options like keep arranged by name, or something weird when receiving files over amsn. I reported the bug, but my .mac trial expired so i dont longer have access.

  21. Re:Meanwhile, MySQL does transactions on New SQL Server Release Slips to 2005 · · Score: 1

    It's still beyond me why people even bother giving MySQL the time of day when the incomparably superior Postgres is available under GPL.

    PostgreSQL isn't GPL, it is BSD-licensed.

  22. Re:Meanwhile, MySQL does transactions on New SQL Server Release Slips to 2005 · · Score: 1

    What is it that makes MySQL so much more popular than Postgres? It sure isn't features.

    A windows version

  24. Nothing really works 100% on Spam Solutions from an Expert · · Score: 1, Insightful

    There is no anti spam technology that actually works. Not even whitelisting, because those viruses fake email addresses.

    Maybe whitelisting with custom mail headers to prove identity

  25. Piracy is king in Venezuela on Obtaining Legal MP3s Outside of the U.S.? · · Score: 1

    You can get cd's on the newspaper on even in street corners. Price is like 0.5-1$

    Sometimes you get a "mp3 cd", so audiophiles can notice the decrease in quality
