  1. Re:Quickbooks on WINE 991031 (Hallowine) Released · · Score: 1

    I get that same error. I downloaded and compiled
    the new wine but when I ran it I got this junk.

    I also have my windows font dir on my font path.

  2. A real world example on Bill Joy, ESR, RMS and more on SCSL vs GPL · · Score: 4

    Ok, since everyone is talking about all the
    things that could happen with the SCSL, I
    thought it might be a good time to tell you
    all a real problem with the current Java API
    and how Sun interacts with developers.
    I have been trying to get Sun to fix the
    Runtime.exec() API for more than a year.
    If you are a Java developer, you probally
    already know what I am talking about. The
    exec() method does not provide a useful
    way to set env vars or to exec() a process
    with a current directory other than the one
    the JVM was started in.

    If you are a JDC member you can read all
    about it at this URL. (Sorry, if you
    can not view this URL, but Sun will not
    let people look at Java bug reports without
    joining the JDC and agreeing to a license).


    http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParad e/bugs/4156278.html

    I submitted this bug report on July 10, 1998
    and it was not "reviewed" until June 28, 1999.
    It was then shelved for another 3 months when
    they decided to "fix" the problem. Now comes
    the tricky part. There is no real information
    about how they intend to "fix" this bug, and
    the reviewer mentions that they are not even
    going to fix "all" of the problems with this
    API, just the current directory problem. So
    I still have no real feedback and I will have
    to wait until the new release of the JDK to
    see how they decided to "fix" this bug. There
    is something really wrong here. This
    kind of crap would never happen on a real
    Open Source project.

  3. Re:When will they be cheaper? on New DNS Agreement Announcement · · Score: 1

    Cheaper would be nice, but what about service? NSI
    sucks. I have been trying to get them to change
    the nameserver for my domain for a couple of weeks.
    My emails have been sent to the "automatic"
    update system over there, but nothing happens.
    Is there any other way to get a domain registered?

  4. Re:NT is the most secure OS on LinuxPPC Challenge: Crack the Box and Keep it! · · Score: 1

    I kid you not, I read on a MS page that NT
    5.0 (aka Win2000) would reduce the need for
    "administrative reboots". Now that is a great
    term if I ever head one.

  5. Does Tord need help with the legal bills? on BladeEnc 0.80 released under the LGPL · · Score: 1

    Did anyone else see the Trod's page where he talks
    about these groundless patent threats? Check it
    out at http://home8.swipnet.se/~w-82625. In that
    page Tord says that these legal issues will cost
    him around 1,000 dollars (I assume he means U.S.
    dollars). I use bladeenc all the time and I
    would like to help Tord defend himself on the
    legal front. I would be willing to put up the
    first 100 dollars for a "bladeenc legal defense fund". Who here is with me?
