...with a Palm m505 (possibly others). The newer Palms don't just slide onto the cradle; they snap in, and removing them from the cradle requires pulling the Palm out horizontally a couple of inches. With the cradle mounted the way it is in the mod, you would have to pull the Palm up, past the boundries of the slot.
Besides, I like to sit my Palm on my desk and still have access to the screen. But at least the mod looks cool!
Although Matchbox "wastes" real estate with titlebars, it uses them very smartly. As you can see from the screenshot in the article, the titlebars double as taskbars. If I ran KDE's kicker on my iPaq, I'd have no room left for anything. So, since everyone needs a taskbar in order to switch windows, and since I don't want to have to press a hard-button to do that, I think Matchbox does it very logically, in an interface with which everyone is already familiar.
What you say makes sense, but it gives me no aversions to Matchbox; it looks damn slick!
the 109kb exe I ran the other night on Kazaa,... [I am] a moron
Hrm, you have [not] my sympathy:)
Anyway, the ease by which Windows programs can take over an entire system, or even an entire LAN, is exactly why Windows boxes have so much cruft. It is oh-so-easy to make a crappy installer that creates a hundred random registry entries and starts a dozen tray icons, all of which take up RAM and resources.
To relate this to your story, we should think of *all* windows programs as virii. Especially anything you download off Kazaa, or even Kazaa itself (sure it doesn't spread by itself, but it sure fux0rs you once you install it). Tray icons are a plague.
Why is that an advantage? All I had to do was go to another terminal (wait a while for it to start up...) and type 'killall bash'. I lost all my terminals, but it pretty much was fixed after that, no reboot necessary.
I've never had this problem with my cable modem, but I used to have it absolutely horribly back why I had a 56k modem. I couldn't use any type of filesharing program and surf the web at the same time, and I whenever I would download a file my ping times would go up to about 5000ms. This seemed to be even worse in Linux than in Windows.
It seems like PPPD (the Linux dialup program) should automatically activate some kind of traffic shaping, giving ACKs higher priority or something (I don't know that much about how it all works). Modem access with Linux is just about unusable when trying to do two things at once, the way it stands today.
You're comparing apples to dog biscuits. You are WRONG. Don't use lies to diss on the project.
Then again you are probably just a troll, so I don't even know why I'm bothering...
You can view a repository in most WebDAV clients (AFAIK it works with Windows and Nautilus), but I believe it is read only right now.
Subversion 1.0 will have improved support, and Post-1.0 will move towards being a generic WebDAV server (with DeltaV extensions)! That will be so cool, to just drag file in Nautilus and have it take the diff and do revision control automatically.
It's quite usable.. but I'm really waiting for subversion to get mature and usable for production..
Just so you know, Subversion is rapidly approaching Alpha (later this week) and soon Beta and 1.0 within a month or two. I have been using it for my own projects (despite the team's warnings) and have found it to be extremely stable, even in its pre-alpha state. The team has put a lot of effort into keeping the HEAD stable.
So if anyone wants to try it, go ahead and do it now! Subversion is *so-much-better* than CVS, and better than anything else I've tried. You won't regret it.

You should tell your mom to come squish Hemos... really, I'm suprised that no one seems to have noticed the blatant duplication from just 6 hours ago.

how may people can these folks contact in an hour?
They just contacted 500,000 on Slashdot in less than that... and another 2,000,000 in the Wall Street Journal. I'd say it's working fine.
Let's review:

Bad link (sorry, I don't feel for html now):
The sad part is it took you longer to type this than to type <a href=""></a>.

Yeah, but I fell for it :)
Nice sig. For the sake of countless harddrives that are doomed to thrash for hours, I hope most people are not so gullible...
