  1. Re:So will this ... on KDE Goes Cross-Platform, Supports Windows and OS X · · Score: 3, Informative

    fwiw you can enable x-mouse in tweakui to have focus follow your mouse. I usually use this, but some programs that do not expect it become a little hard to use (certain dropdowns, etc.)

    vpopmail can be used with postfix

  3. Re:Get a Move On on Verizon Might Deliver Google Phone · · Score: 2, Informative

    All those things work on their higher end phones like the Treo. A phone from google would probably be in the same category.

  4. Re:CVS-Subversion anyone? on Subversion 1.1 Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    Alright that was a little harsh :P To clarify, you can do it with things like multiple instances of svnserve and group permissions. Through apache2 it is simple with the authz module.

  5. Re:CVS-Subversion anyone? on Subversion 1.1 Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    Lets see, the access methods are ssh, local fs, http, svnserve... all which allow per-user permissions in any recent version. Grandparent just didn't rtfm.

  6. Re:No more BerkeleyDB! on Subversion 1.1 Released · · Score: 1

    BDB can have issues across different builds. You cannot just tar up a repositor, send it somewhere else, and expect them to be able to use it. Also, certain versions of BDB that distros ship have been known to cause problems. A lot of the issues on the mailing list are caused by BDB. If a BDB file is corrupted, you lose everything. FSFS keeps revisions as files I believe. This means _should_ anything go wrong (is very rare as is) the damage should be contained to the last revision.

  7. Re:FSFS on Subversion 1.1 Released · · Score: 1

    Yes, FSFS is a big deal. I'm looking forward to migrating my customers over once it gets a little more real world testing :) BDB although great overall is the source of a pretty large number of the problem emails on the mailing list.

  8. Re:Free book online on Subversion 1.1 Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    PTR is working on a Subversion book in the Bruce Perens Open Source series. They've sent me a couple chapters to review and it looks like its coming along. It's still a ways off, but it should be nice once its released.

    Google knows this would be tacky too and could just not sell ads for sensitive keywords. It's not that hard...

  16. Re:Pretty simple. on Why MySQL Grew So Fast · · Score: 1

    On top of pg being unstable and slow, mysql was known to have easier admin tools once the install was done. I forget when this stopped actually being true, but in the beginning it was... and the reputation stuck.

    Hey SCO, is that your finger in your pocket, or one big wad of crap?

  18. Re:Mono-Culture? on A Taste of Qt 4 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    My thought is that this has more to do with critical mass than it has to do with any technical merits of mono. Don't bash mono just because we're not ready to use it, when the time comes that some people begin to need/want it we'll be glad that its mature enough to go head to head with the closed alternatives.

    if you like it don't listen to people who tell you not to do it!
    either one of two things will happen:
    1) your site will stay small and you'll be able to maintain it and you'll be happy it was so easy and didnt waste the hour of time learning to use a templating system.
    or
    2) your site grows into a huge tangle of mess and it will bite you in the ass and you'll develop a life long fear or anything that remotely approuches the mixing of presentation and logic and content. but at this point you have a large successful site anyways so are happy while redesigning the whole thing :-D meanwhile as you recode the whole site, your content stagnates and you lose all your traffic. :(

  20. Re:Car vs. Maglev? on Virginia MagLev Project Back on Track · · Score: 1

    The best way to avoid commuting is for people to sit in front of our computers all day with /. as their only friend. The best way to connect large countries is through high-speed fiber. It does not happen today for one simple reason: the artificially low cost of going outside (thanks to government subsidies on air and sunlight)

  25. Re:seriously on State of the Onion 7 · · Score: 1

    congrats on rephrasing everyones complaint about perl!! it was almost like reading an original thought!! ppl always whine like this but its almost always the worst coders who bash languages. they write in perl and churn crap so assume that perl is crap. they just dont realize the code they do in whatever other languages is crap too, because they hide that fact a little more. perl gives you the expressiveness to be extremely bad obfu'd code, but also gives you the power to write extremely readable and simple code.
