I checked the list of games in the book and I didn't found any reference to Diablo. Diablo was the game that had a lot of poetry in it, and you have to play it more than once to see it all.
I can see what you see not Vision milky then eyes rot Then you see what cannot be, shadows move where light should be. Out of darkness, out of mind. Cast down from the Halls of the Blind.
(yup, I don't know if this come from something else, but *it is* in Diablo)
That's funny, 'cause when some dudes from my CS college (/metoo) decided to make annual meetings just to hang together, I came with
"Ok guys, now we just have to make a joke that only we could understand, something that ends with 'and then the bit turns to 0!' and everyone crack laughing".
Well, IMHO, the problem it's not related with a Window Manager, but with the config you are using. You can disable de dock and the clip and even the icons, so you can have all the screen just for you, even still using Window Maker.
There are also some other window managers that you can try: - enlightenment: try the spiff theme - sawfish: spiff theme - icewm: there is a port of tigertcrack, I think it's called 'tgc' or 'IceCrack'. Very small borders and very keyboard friendly. - blackbox, openbox, fluxbox: all the box variants have small borders, and using the slit you can still use your favorite dockapps, using the "auto-hide" feature. - metacity: I don't know how usable it is when not coupled with all the GNOME stuff, but the window title bar is always resized to the size of your font. So, smaller fonts, smaller borders.
I agree with you both, but only that, in a short period, reinventing the wheel will make it hard to choose "the best one".
But, in a long period, the best wheel will succed. And that's a good thing, so we all could have the best wheel in a few years, instead of waiting for decades for something really good or using the same wheel ours gandfathers used.
Well, I bought a PocketPC (an ancient iPaq 3650), running WinCE. It running somewhat nice (well, it never crashed, but made some minor mis-interpretations of my actions - like opening Word when trying to open a txt file instead of the notepad). Then Compaq offered a free upgrade to PocketPC 2002. Since it was free, I took it. It was the worst thing I ever did in my whole life. After the update, the iPaq locked four times in two days (and I had to press the 'reset' button in the bottom of it to make it work again), and I was not doing anything special with it - simply writing some text in Word or Excel. Then I switched to Familiar Linux Distro, installed GPE, and it never bothered me again.
I don't know if it would be a good thing. With it's stock prices going down really fast, SCO will show up with some other weird stuff... That kind of stuff that we are all tired hearing again and again... Probably they will show up saying that they could sue Microsoft and Windows users.
Now just imagine what would happen if they find Linux code inside SCO Unix (and I don't think it's all that impossible). What would happen to all companies that have licenced sutff from SCO? Could they have Linux code on their Unix variants too?
Denying SCO's charges, IBM has filed counterclaims and launched an aggressive attack on SCO, a company based in Lindon, Utah, that had 2002 sales of $64 million.
What? SCO made 2002 sales of $64 million?!? Geez! No wonder they have the money to pay all their lawyers!
Yeah, I was one. Not anymore, since I've learned the existence of giFT I'm not using it anymore.
giFT works with a small server, which clients can connect. So I can control it graphically on my home (using giFToxic) or remotely (using ssh and giFTcurs).
Also, giFT turns all that reseach into garbage, since it can connect on several servers of several different types. Tt currently comes with OpenFT (giFT original protocol) and Gnutella by default but you can also find FastTrack network plugin for it. There is also a OpenNap network plugin in the works (and I just can't wait to put my hands on it).
Yeah, but Fox seems to be the only of those that would publish something like

Yeah, "teh sux0rs r3p0rt3rs, LOL".

Yes. You can even move the "windows" around the screen. But try it on console, not on a terminal emulator. It will start selecting text and not move it. But you can click on the widgets, as expected.

GTK+ 2.4 will have a new file dialog. They didn't show any shots of it, but the new API is already documented. It will be ready for GNOME 2.6 (or they hope, at least).
This is *NOT* an april fools joke. I just grabbed the sources from CVS and compile all that stuff. Configure checks form ncurses and you can run the testgtk stuff. Looks weird, but works.
Ok, that's not something very amusing, they could put all the GTK+ 2.2.2 stuff with a testgtk using ncurses just to fool everyone.
My next step is grab the GTK2 version of Sylpheed and try to make it compile with this lib. My info later.
The thing I like the most in those "worm reports" it's they say everytime that the worm spread throught mail, but never cite that there is only one email client that allow that kind of stuff and that there are alternatives.
Why can't someone come with something inteligent and say "the worm uses Microsoft's Outlook to spread itself"?
I remember seeing a similar post on/. about DMCA bots sending messages to FTPs all around the globe about illegal office distribution. It turned out to be OpenOffice and some really fscked up bots.
Well, just try to compile Mozilla with every option enabled (debug is also important) on a computer with 64mb and no swap. Then figure out what that "Killed" means in the final stages...
BTW, this is a feature added in the middle of 2.4 series. Kernels older than that will just hung.

Now *that's* weird. Most people I know say "Linux 6.1" thinking "Red Hat 6.1", not "SuSE 6.1".

Well, you can try to compile Mozilla with calendar support (yes, I know: it's a bitch to compile that monster).
It probably doesn't show in the binary packages because it's in beta stage, but seems very stable to me (using the 1.4 source package).
