I like corel linux a lot, but it feels unfinished. also, the download version doesn't have all important applications installed by default, e.g. unzip is missing! ; normally this isn't a big problem, you could allways unzip in windows. (it's for newbie's so they probably have windows installed) but unzipping a file who contains 2 files with the same name but other capitalisation is a bit of a problem on windows.

Re:Why do you want to know when Y2K starts ?

When Does Y2K Begin?
·
· Score: 1
I _know_ that, but most people see Y2K as the new millennium, and I'm tired of correcting them. Besides, after newyears we can all say: "shoot, we miscalculated, 2001 is the start of the new millennium!". and have millennium parties all over again:-) ---
I don't think there is such a country. maybe we should buy a small island and declare independance! that way we have our own country where we can put our servers. we can also get our own TLD offcourse (every country has one) , what about.mp3:-) that way we can set up a domain name for our favorite artists! e.g. www.metallica.mp3
It's their own fault! they used a copy protection mechanism that offers no real protection (brute forcing the key is easy) and next they try to sue the people who cracked their code! it's like putting a large bag filled with hundred dollar bills in the middle of a crowded street with a sign near it 'Big Bag filled with hundred dollar bills, please don't steal' the DVD CCA people should have their head examined! I don't know the US law, but isn't it illegal to evoke criminal behavior? isn't it possible to sue the DVD company's for evoking criminal behavior ?:-)) ---
Select the tail of the URL, delete it, and hit RET.
I do that a lot, but on most websites use LONG adresses to pass information to CGI's etc. (e.g. altavista), and even with short URL's it gets irritating. ---
There is on feature I want in a browser and still haven't seen anywhere. I want a button that goes to the main page of the website. e.g. when I'm browsing http://www.foobar.org/foo/bar.html and I press this button the browser has to go to http://www.foobar.org/ does anyone know if there is feature like this in Mozilla ? this would save me a lot of time re-typing the adress in the location bar or searching for the 'home' button on a website. ---
Why has man gone to far if he can create man ? I see this as The Next Step(tm) in our evolution. If we're going to live between the stars, we need people who can survive the journey. this way we can build those people! ---
Why sue? The napster people aren't sharing the mp3's they are just providing the tools! napster is for distributing legal mp3's:-) what's next, are they going to sue the people who make FTP and HTTP software?? it's possible to share pirated mp3's with that too! ---
I've read a review about these things in some computer magazine, can't remember which. they said they where a pain to operate because you had to press the pen down hard to get a good grip. so these things will make RSI even worse.
I would like to buy a linux version but linux games are really hard to get (at least in the netherlands) so I guest I'll have to wait to after x-mas. I think the sales of Q3 are not going to represent the demand for linux games correctly, people don't want to travel 100 miles to get the linux version of a game, they just stick to the windows version and download the linux executable when it's available. we'll all have to go to our local computer shop or wherever they sell games and ask for linux games. if there is a large enough demand they'll will sell them. but for now many stores are afraid that if they put linux games in the shelves, they won't sell them. ---
I think this will make it easier for people to switch to linux. Corel is a well known name and people will trust their software. especially if it is bundeled with office aplications, it will make the Big Turnaround easy. I also hope they will start a LARGE, GLOBAL advertising campaign. ---
that thought also crossed my mind by it not an option. I am connected to a samba network with more than 1500 computers which all contain a few shares. that would mean mounting thousands of shares. ---
I dont want to mount every share, but I want to mount the whole network at once, and have it update dynamically as new servers/share's become available. just like the network neighbourhood works in windows.
All we need now is a way to browse the samba network. I know there are app's like gnomba and LinNeighbourhood. but I want to be able to mount the 'network neighbourhood' under/samba and be able to browse that in every application just like you can allways access the network neighbourhood from any open / save dialog in window$. So in/samba or you have 'directories' that represent workgroups and in that directories that represent computers etc. that's what I would really like. ---
I have something similar. the device is based on a clock that is synchronized with the bank's clock. it uses that for key generation is some way, it also uses a calculator serial number (programmed in by the bank and unknown to the user) plus you have to enter a PIN also, when you're going to transfer money you have to enter a checksum + your PIN into the calculator and it generates a key. IMHO this looks very reliable. you can hammer the code but because it changes every X seconds it's very hard. even if you could sniff the packets (it uses HTTPS) it won't be usable because the code has changed in the time you have found the key you're looking for. these things are made by Vasco data security, it doesn't seem that hard to implement into your original setup to me. ---
Anyone seen they changed the transmeta website ? how long has this 'new' site been up their new design really kicks ass! never seen a website so well designed, and it works with all browsers and it loads fast too. great! kudos to their webdesigner!:-)
Isn't this a bit too large for working, I think it will be more suitable for presentations and stuff like that than for e.g. webbrowsing. It's so large you have to move your head a lot to see all of the screen, and that's not too comfortable to work with. or you have to put a great distance wich has basically the same effect as a closer, smaller monitor at a high resolution ---
Do you have to go to jail for doing your homework? In my school (about 2 years ago) you had to go to the principal if you did nOT do your homework. but knowadays... a 7 year old boy got a 100 for writing a story with some violence in it.Oh my god, he might be a freak planning a massacre!!!!
No matter how much space you have M$ will allways find a way to fill it AND make your computer run really slow. maybe it would be a better idea to a) all switch to linux b) learn microsoft something about not wasting memory

I've seen this link on slashdot before,

it was in a reply to a quicky's post a few days ago.
very funny site, made me LOL then,

First of all, kudos to the developers!.
second, a litte offtopic:
There is on feature I want in a browser and still haven't seen anywhere.
I want a button that goes to the main page of the website.
e.g. when I'm browsing http://www.foobar.org/foo/bar.html and I press this button the browser has to go to http://www.foobar.org/
does anyone know if there is feature like this in Mozilla ?

When man can create man, man has gone too far.
Why has man gone to far if he can create man ?
I see this as The Next Step(tm) in our evolution.
If we're going to live between the stars, we need people who can survive the journey.
this way we can build those people!

Why sue? :-)
The napster people aren't sharing the mp3's they are just providing the tools!
napster is for distributing legal mp3's
what's next, are they going to sue the people who make FTP and HTTP software?? it's possible to share pirated mp3's with that too!
