I am graduate student, and as a part of my masters thesis, I am involved
in the development of a behaviral modeling environment
. We are using the programing language python,
and the GUI toolkit QT and PyQT. The
choice of these technologies has made our tool fairly generic as it runs
without a glitch on Linux, Solaris and win2k. We have not tested it on other
platforms but it should work on all the platforms which run python. Python
is a really cool programing language and PyQT makes cross-platform GUI development
really easy. We have developed fairly involved GUIs using PyQT, like a Topology
Editor, Schematic Editor (to capture the design and topology of circuits)
etc. I would strongly recommend python and PyQt to someone interested in developing cross-platform
applications (with GUIs)
A day after boasting that Windows 2000 has won Common Criteria security certification,
Microsoft was yesterday obliged to warn of two nasty vulnerability affecting,
er, Windows 2000.
The timing couldn't be more embarrassing for Redmond but, let's face it,
the appearance of more bugs in Win2K (or IE, WinXP etc.) is hardly much of
a surprise.
Thanxs a lot! This version (libfreetype.so.6.3.2) dramtically improved the font rendering in my PC (mandrake 9.0 at 1152 X 864 resolution). Earlier I had re-compiled freetype with bytecode enabled as suggested by the author, but it did not have any visible effect. Now the fonts do look better, but still there is much room for improvement
These banks are simply following the law of "demand and supply" (in economics). When the demand for a product increases, the supply automatically increases. Currently more than 95% people use IE as their browser, whereas Mozilla is used by less than 1% of the people. So why will the banks waste their time and money on something whose demand is so low?
Not working in Mandrake 9.0. Someone plz help ...

Font HOWTO For Linux

Now it's time to make them available. Re-start X, and then open the KDE
Control Center as root. Go to System, Font Installer. Click the tab 'Anti-Alias'
and tick 'Use sub-pixel hinting'. Now click the 'Fonts' tab
I am using Mandrake 9.0 and cannot find Font Installer under system
in KDE control center. Has someone tried this in Mandrake 9.0 (KDE 3.0) ?
Modern PCs are blazing fast and have more horse power than the so called "super computers" of the past. But the noise of the cooling fans and the cracking noise of hard-drive still make modern PC sound like soooooo 20th century. Its hard to believe that we are still using a stupid fan to cool the CPU.
A computer plays chess by brute force method. Unlike human beings, it doesnt have intuition and the ability to learn from mistakes. A human mind on the other hand has the ability to recognize the structural pattern of the pieces in the game, and it doesnt rely on brute force.
>>Wow! That's an even better idea!...but the 64-bit iPod project is already in high gear, so we can't stop now, can we?
I always knew that 10 Giga Byte of space was a waste in iPod. Good that they have decided to downgrade to 64 bits !!!

No reason you can't run Linux on them from what I saw
Oh, so you can tell by seeing, where linux cannot run.

I find the safety belt in flight really useless. Can someone tell me, "How will that stupid seat belt help me, if the plane is anyway going to crash"?
