    "And if he didn't attack us, why would we do attack him?"

    Man, I wish I knew the answer to that one. Probably all the "nutjobs" that are using nukes as dterence also have that same wish...

    Wow! Using a 403 error page to make another server put bad code into the user's browser is genial. That is why I like security people, I'd never think about something lke that.

    As do some portions of Exchange. The GP was probably after some Funny mods, not informative.

    Funny thing, since WebDav is the API MS created to let other programs access Exchange OWA.

    Well, don't install any Dav file browser trought IIS on a intranet, so. It is so easy to work around such things as not having a web based version control, like subversion, or any kind of web based file sharing... I only hope one's mission critical software don't come with hidden Dav clients.

    No way! But you should try emacs...

    Yep, when you have a problem that big, you want scalability before anything else. How well could the other candidades use a machine that big?

    They did, but they took a lot more time than the FOSS people.

  10. Re:application that will practically require Chrom on The More Popular the Browser, the Slower It Is · · Score: 1

    I like it way more than the JavaScript one. At least on basic HTML I can choose where to open an email, at the JavaScript I'm forced to open within the same window.

    Now, I can't stand any of gmail user interfaces (also, I don't like to trust all my mails to it), that is why I use POP.

    "Sucky non-standards-compliant browsers aren't popular"

    No, those are the ones that are popular. What people don't like are browsers that adhere strictly to the standard when the web is full of pages that don't.

    Elinks also has a lot more users.

    What do you think all the buzz about micropayments is about? No bank handles it.

    From TFA, so others don't have to read it, GPG will stay with SHA 224, SHA 256, SHA 384 and SHA 512.

    They only HAVE to make it work on netbsd, but they put all BSDs and Linux in it just for the fun.

  18. Re:Might be a good idea on Debian Switching From Glibc To Eglibc · · Score: 1

    The funny thing is that both the 'tarting up' and the not 'macrifying' are correctly removed by gcc if you care to ask for some optimization. So, both 'tarting up' will not make your programs slower (you have nothing to worry) and 'macrofiling' won't make any program faster (glibc developers should worry).

  19. Re:Don't be so Glib on Debian Switching From Glibc To Eglibc · · Score: 1

    Hum, what world are you caming from? Desktop Linux needs some resources, but will run smootly on anything that can run XP. It will run smootly on quite worse systems if 3D hardware acceleration is provided.

    Also, you can get quite a passable desktop experience from lightweight DEs, that won't need all those resources... And most deamons use no processing and can be swapped to disk (not on netbooks, ok) most of the time. For the remaining little time they are running, you can annoy the user with no consequence, they are used to much more hassle from Windows "pauses" (I don't really know what causes them, badly designed FS, deadlocks, whatever).

  20. Re:Native apps? What native apps? on Shuttleworth Says Ubuntu Can't Just Be Windows · · Score: 1

    "The "native" Linux app is most likely a UNIX-like utility. I am not sure it can be anything else."

    A UNIX-like utility is the first one to be ported to Windows. The "native" Linux app probaly uses some weard kernel feature, integrates all those UNIX-like utilities or uses a very fat or very slim system.

  25. Re:Is this flu really "special"? on US Declares Public Health Emergency Over Swine Flu · · Score: 1

    I really doubt that we can make flu spread slowly enough to contain it.

    Anyway, we may see much lower mortality rates simply because that virus is less lethal than the 1918 one. Also, we still have the hope of seeing it mutate into something that is quite less lethal and will vaccinate most people against its worse version.
