    A well set-up and firewalled Windows system can be very stable nowadays.
    I believe that -
    But how much work is it to get there? I just installed Windows 2000 SP4 under qemu. In the time I had all the important cumulative Patches and Hotfixes applied (there were some 37 to check on windowsupdate) AND fixed all the stuff that got b0rked on the way (Explorer.exe for a basic desktop and msi.dll for the install control in the control center for example) I would happily be running a gentoo stage 1 install (and thus any other distro of choice).
    I might have just been unlucky - but still there was some serious tweaking needed to get this one up and running.

    Read the link you supplied and dont be silly. [...] The name derives from a German producer having set up shop in Vienna and using a recipe (beef and pork) which just didnt allow him to use the 'Frankfurter' name.
    Thats right. But the link show the company trying to make damage control. Still the company cleary intended to make that connection (esp. if you hear the song in addition to the text itbis obvious). In a commercial it is much more important what you suggest - the facts are almost irrelevant.
    Just take a look at the associations germans get from the word "Deutschländer":
    " [...] Heim ins Reich? Noch immer - oder schon wieder?"
    "That are the Nazi-Würstchen from the TV-commercial. [...]"
    "[...] For a germany in the borders of 1483. Neapel stays ours!"

    Deutschländers ;) - though I think that term denotes the "Germany-born" children of Turkish immigrants.
    No. Deutschländer are a brand of sausage with a very cheesy commercial with WASPs singing patriotically "Deutschlander Würstchen ... nach bester deutscher Art ..." - you get the picture. http://www.songtexte24.de/songtext-Meica---Deutsch laender-179068.html
    Also producer Meica claimed in the commercial that the sausage has "the best of all kind of german sausage: blurb like Wieners, blurb like Bockwürste and blurb like Frankfurters". If you take a look at the map you will see that Wien is not part of germany. And the only time it was, was in the late 1930s till the early 1940s. Not a good time to make commercials with.

    In that case, how about putting two things in the encrypted archive:

  11. Re:Proxy other than apache on Two Books On Plone · · Score: 1

    Out of curiousity, could you be more specific about the "bloat" in Apache?
    The reverse proxy for my zope is running on a old AMD K6/200 with 64 MB RAM- almost everything is bloat for that machine. Anyway in the next weeks the old machine will be gone and I plan to put the proxy on the machine where zope is running on. Still I dont want too much additional load on that machine. So much for the footprint.
    Apart from that: apache is huge and administration and configuration is not trivial and a small and simple proxy might be easier to configure (and thus safer too, since often security issues are just bad configuration ...)

    I'll split up kdelibs and email you the 'modules' for only ninety-nine ninety nine apiece!
    I wasnt talking about kde. I was talking about QT. It claims to be platform independant. But it isnt for GPL software (see windows license). Its current design is making it hard to use QT *only* for GUI stuff and using libs that are crossplatform under GPL without generating much duplicate code on the system.
    Think of the convenience!

  16. Re:Rosegarden looks fantastic on Rosegarden Developers Interviewed by O'Reilly · · Score: 1

    That's a fair complaint, if you think of Qt as a GUI library. It isn't. It's a cross platform API: it's designed to let people write software for Qt, and, in that way, for multiple platforms (last I looked, Windows, Mac OS X, and X11, which covers the vast majority of desktops out there.)
    Not if I want my software to be free - QT for example is not available under GPL for windows.
    So its a cross platform API only for commercial software.

    Consider Firefox or OpenOffice NOT having Windows ports..

    Thats not the point. The point is QT is a huge monolithic toolkit (it even contains GUI unrelated stuff like file operations). It would be better if it would be cleanly split in modules, so only those libs *needed* have to be installed. (I dont have to tell you about the advantages of modularisation, have I?)
