Virtual desktops are nothing new in the Unix world and most window managers or desktop environments have this feature. There is a lot of prior art, so we can safely ignore this patent.
This is not a solution, it's just a short term dirty hack. The long term solution is NGMP (Next Generation Mail Protocol) or similar protocols whch makes mail storage the responsibility of the sender. There is already some form of a working implementation at JabberStudio. Yes, it's also going to integrate with Jabber style open IM fine.
Huh? Hideously ugly? WTF? I find Perl to be the most beautiful language around. I bet you can't write so cool poems in other languages. Perl was designed to look like natural language. In fact I really like languages that look somewhat like perl (PHP for instance look like a mix of perl and C).
30 seconds to take the test? If Ace Ventura had one of those things in the car, there probably wouldn't be a second Ace Ventura in Africa at all. Anyway, I bet the ignition thingies can be easily defeated.
The OpenBSD group has done great work in the past taking ipfilter out of the code base and replacing it with something better -- packet filter. I hope this great work gets integrated in every BSD out there.
Theo mentioned forking -- it has already happened. While the XFree86 codebase is huge, I guess it's better that they don't fork it themselves, but rather join one of the groups that forked XFree86 already (either Xouvert or the freedesktop.org team) and merge efforts. It's a question of objectives and the OpenBSD team is well known for doing things themselves. But then again, three X forks is too much and no vendor will support all of them -- they scarcely support Xfree86 anyway.
It's good that the distributions reject this kind of David Dawes style sabotage licensing bullshit. This kind of sabotage didn't work in the past and will never work. It just adds more nails into the Xfree86's coffin.
Well I guess this is the first step at digging Xfree86's grave, isn't it? Distros will stop shipping it, people will stop using it, what's left of the developers at xfree86.org will lose interest in developing it and the whole project will head towards a slow death.
It's a bit early to draw conclusions but if all the distros will drop it one by one, it's just what will happen. I'll theink we'll be better off with the alternatives (Xouvert & the X server at freedesktop.org) anyway.
That's a lot. Why the hell would anyone pay that amount anyway, because the stone isn't natural in the first place and they can make 10e6 pieces a year on a production line just like cars and other goods. Why would anyone want a diamond that's not unique at 30% discount from the real thing? I mean it has to cost a fraction of the equivalent real diamond. I bet the production costs are a fraction of what they seel the diamonds for.
Yup, I wanted to write about it too but I looked in the thread first and here it is. Seems pretty logical diamonds could form in the center of gas giants at that pressure & heat.
Well the available models are way to expensive for me. If there was something more entry level like a Palm m505. I suppose Linux is not exactly good for cheap devices since it needs some more powerful processors? What about a cheap PDA with ecos or equivalent on it.
SeLinux by itself doesn't just "enhance security". It's merely a security extension. Good coding techniques and code auditing does, as proven by the OpenBSD project.
So rip off the tags! I rip off tags from T-Shirts anyway as they itch at the back of my neck. Hmm I also bet that if you wrap them in tin foil nobody will be able to scan them. Electromagnetic fields cannot travel into a tin foil closed cavity.
I don't like digital watches. I'll use an analog watch as long as it's going to be around. I just take a peek at it and have a graphical representation of time. It's just like a pie chart if you wish. Hm, Douglas Adams didn't have very good opinion about digital watches as well:
"Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-two million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea."
Yes, the NGMP implementation is here. NGMP is an implementation of Dan Bernstein's IM2000 concept using the XMPP protocol. It uses XMPP to notify you when you receive a new message. Notifications are sent via XMPP so it will also integrate with XMPP based instant messaging (aka Jabber).
The whole idea of spam filtering is flawed on the long term. It's a vicious circle. Anti-spammers make new innovations like Bayesian filtering, spammers pay Russian and Eastern European hackers with questionable ethics to develop new spam filter evading techniques and viruses that open up mail relays, etc. We should instead focus on developing alternatives to SMTP like NGMP and such, which make mail storage the sender's responsibility.
I think i've seen something about NGMP at the Jabber Software Foundation and if I recall accurately there already is some implementation.
I wonder how to get KDE see SMB shares in a painless way. Remember, the blonde secretary can't/won't mount a smb share from Konsole! On a SuSE 8.1 box it would work with smb:// but as soon as I start a transfer the progress bar freezes in a dead position. I wanted to test it in a business environment to see if it's ok to migrate some users from Windows to Linux but as long as thins doesn't work.. I tried LISA server or whatever it's called but no luck.
The editors forgot to mention that it looks ugly. The iPod has a way better design and the fact that the mini iPod comens in different colours is not dumb. To bad iPods have an internal battery that costs too much. I'd rather have 2x NiMH AAA or AA batteries.

Yeah then I'm gonna patent buttons, scrollbars, windows, ppull down menus, etc.

Matroxfb ain't working. I'm not going to switch until they fix it.

That's bloody stupid of them. They just lost some marketshare with this 'smart move'. It would be cool if Apple would make it's own PDAs.
What about the pilot-link tools? Do they work on MacOS X too?

And get further bad press? Linux is already well known, so bad press doesn't help anymore.

I bet a Mac would work better for your grandparents. Windows problems can make people 10 years older.
I always said governments were blind and this futher proves it. I could read Times New Roman 14 from space.

I wonder why RMS's website is down.
Well they should have taken Netcraft joke advice seriously and change the www.sco.com A pointer towards 127.0.0.1 or similar.
Just makes me sick that it pops up a windows asking you to update every time. I don't wanna update, get it Apple, eh?!
