My big issue is software installation. 3rd party repositories are a fundamentally flawed system- I can't install most applications as they either arn't in a repository, or my distro (FC3) is not supported [anymore].
After 10 years of using Linux, I still have trouble installing software. My mother can do it on windows.
While the clock's designed to theoretically keep 10,000 years worth of time accurately, will it actually last that long? If the large version could be engineered well enough to still be running in 10,000 years time with minimal maintanance, it would be an excellent momument to future generations.
In 10,000 years time there will probably be little else left of our era, and something like this could make the difference between this period being known for war and polution or being known for amazing increases in technology and engineering.
Just imagine- One day this thing could be placed amongst the statue of liberty and the pyramids of giza as wonders of the ancient world!
Archetypes does not handle Object-Relational mapping well, and shouldn't be used to store relational data regardless- The ZODB was not designed for large numbers of objects, and most certainly doesn't handle relational data well.
Try Hornet (http://www.plone.org/products/hornet). It stores everything directly in a relational database, works with ZODB transaction (So it commits and rolls back at the same time, keeping ACID complience), and uses lazy iteration to handle millions of rows without a problem. Plus, As far as any regular zope app is concerned, you can treat it as a normal folder/object in Zope/Plone whatever.
Theres no excuse to ever store relational data in the ZODB again:)
settle down mate. It was an honest question for someone with a very rough idea of what version he tried.
I'm terribly sorry if I don't have a serial console handy to capture the output, but I'm just an average user wanting to try something. I'd hardly call it whining.
I absolutely hate this style of templating- it makes it incredibly difficult to debug.
I like to be able to skim through an entire html page at once. Flow control in a template to, say, repeat over a dataset is NOT business logic and doesn't need to be seperated.
If you're using something like TAL this becomes much simpler-
And just like virtually every other templating language, it makes the same mistake of putting flow control seperate from the html (Not to mention escaping into complex python expressions when it really isn't needed), which leads to a complete mess in anything more complex than a simple repeat example.
Last time I tried BSD (Only a few months ago) I was getting kernel panics before I could even boot up on my Nforce4/Athlon64 system.
Anyone know if this has been fixed yet? (Or if I'm doing something wrong?) I've been eager to switch to BSD for a while to get around Linux VM Issues.
(Failing that, anyone know how to get Linux to kill the offending process (Like every other OS) rather than grinding to a screaming halt whenever a shoddy program decides to memory leak it's way through a gig of RAM? )
Looks like your probably right- Even after 15 days of ball catching in micro gravity, astronauts still naturally reacted to the ball as if they expected it to accelerate downwards. It seems that the brain either remembers from catching as a child, or it's genetic.
Watching this made me think about the calculations involved in estimating the trajectory and how well the human brain does it.
While the raw maths is pretty simple by itself, when you factor in stereo image processing to see a ball, work out it's speed and trajectory, and move potentially hundreds of muscles into the correct position to catch the ball, you realise just how powerful the human brain is and how well it can adapt.
I was under the impression that the stock version of OpenGL that came with windows has always been a Direct3D wrapper (Or at least, it was this way with Windows9x).
OpenGL is implemented by your video card manufacturer- Why would microsoft go to the trouble of writing an opengl driver for every major video card when they already have a perfectly good HAL in DirectX?
Seriously people, this is a non issue. Stop looking for excuses to trash Vista before it's even released.
If you do this, avoid port 2222. Everyone that changes the sshd port uses it, and pretty quick the script kiddies will catch on and scan that port as well.
One of my clients had apache running as root, and an attacker was able to create a new account on the system via a hole in a php script.
The attacker then tried about 50 times to login to the new account via ssh, but wasn't in AllowUsers. Eventually the idiot gave up- most likely a script kiddie who didn't realise the potential of his initial attack.
Moral of the story? AllowUsers is a really good idea:-P

My Mother could manage to install software on Windows 95. She can't on Linux.
If it's not ready for my mother to use it as a desktop, it's not ready for the desktop.
lol.
Still exactly the same problem though. I can't be sure everything I want is in apt (or ports, or portage, or any other 3rd party repository).

Damn you! beat me to it!
I was just saying this to my boss today. in 2000, Linux was '5 years' from being ready for the desktop.
What happened?
(This isn't a troll. I honestly feel Linux has gotten virtually nowhere since then, except for mabye a slightly nicer KDE).

Now TAL on the other hand
<table>
<tr tal:repeat="user foo/Users">
<td tal:content="user/username">
</tr>
</table>
Much cleaner- you don't have to constantly 'escape' into another language.
Mod this guy up. He speaks wise words.

Not sure how I'd go about getting that when the kernel has panic'd (On startup).
Kind of hard to do when the system is completely unresponsive.
Last time I tried BSD (Only a few months ago) I was getting kernel panics before I could even boot up on my Nforce4/Athlon64 system.
Anyone know if this has been fixed yet? (Or if I'm doing something wrong?) I've been eager to switch to BSD for a while to get around Linux VM Issues.

Smaller animal, less distance between brain and muscles, faster reactions.

Thanks. Now I don't have to rely on random posts in the internet to diagnose my problems.

oh wait...

I think she's actually a pretty good actor. She did a really good job in Garden State.
That said, she sucked in ep3... but it isn't her fault if lucas is an overrated hack.
that too :p

I had a script like this that was a little overzealous and blocked all network access to my /8 range... which just happened to be most of Australia.
