Cu doua minute inaintea lansarii, Dumitru Popescu, presedintele ARCA, s-a apropiat de racheta ca sa scoata furtunul de presurizare. Putin deasupra capului sau, racheta a inceput sa se invaluie in aburi si si-a vazut de drum, fara sa-i mai pese de planurile nimanui.
Acording to this Romanian paragraph, it was two minutes. For what it matters... who should we trust?
That nice URL structure can be just as well generated from a database. See for example URLs generated by Python web apps, such as Zope, an open source application server. And since when a blog has to be generated every time from a database? What about a "static" CMS, where you generate only one the pages, and if you modify them you just overwrite the previous static generated page?
Ltsp users recomand against lbxproxy. It is considered deprecated and inefective. (I believe the technology was incorporated in the regular X server as well)
Macromedia was sued by Adobe over the use of similar interface elements (I think it was the small triangular button in the right of the windows, that gets you a popup with advanced features for that window - completely non-intuitive, btw).
So, the parent poster (the author of the article) says something about "looking too much like windows" and everybody is either trolling about microsoft or defending it, saying "well, there's a finite number of ways of doing it".
Let me add this: when somebody says "I don't like Gnome, it looks too much like windows, I like KDE better" and when everybody knows that KDE is the one that resembles Windows the most (no top menu bar per default, browser integrated in file manager, etc - don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of KDE...) don't you feel the fishy smell?
I would settle for standards support (PNG transparency, CSS 2), but hey, if they want to compete with the new browsers, what about skinning, irc client (is microsoft chat, the one with funny faces, still available?:) ), ad-block, mouse gestures, etc?
Fuck it! If you're going to burn plastic, I'm gonna be there trying to stop you. As much as I hate Microsoft, the nature itself didn't do you any wrong. There's no need for dioxine in the environment.
> The pop-up blocker and buffer overrun protection were all original longhorn ideas.
This is yet another proof of how hard it has become for them to upgrage Internet Explorer. Adding just one feature requires an entire new operating system. Fortunatly, for SP2, Bill has outsourced the job. I'm sure 99% sure that the pop-up blocker in SP2 is stolen from Mozilla. Horray for open source!
Why not? KDE and Gnome are at competition for the masses of users. If KDE brings in something that will make it more competitive, so be it. I'm sure that realy soon there will be Gnome counterparts for the GUI. Everybody wins. Don't be such a wuss.
I'm sure there will be less then 100 people using the client-server feature of the Longhorn. Considering the resources it needs, the thin-client would need to be a really fat-client, I don't think this is feasible at all.
I use a somewhat regular desktop system with an Athlon 2000 processor and 256MB Ram. I run a lot of Java desktop apps (Sancho, Azureus, Freemind, G2Gui, etc) and never had issues concerning speed or memory bloat. Neither startup speeds. Honestly.
good luck downloading ~20 megs hdlist files every time you update the fucking list. I'd rather have apt or yum on fedora (with synaptic and yumi instead of gurpmi).
What network latency are you dreaming about? Let's talk about a network of 100Mb. Let me tell you something: a 100Mb network, with 10 dumb clients on it is extremly fast. Full color full screen images appear instantly, you cannot even guess that the display is through the network. And we're talking about the X server, that people like you call it slow and old and needing replacement and let's just throw away network transparency, who needs it anyway, right?.
> There's a reason nobody runs client-server. Desktop systems with fast processors are just too cheap.
From my experience, 80% of regular offices can be refited with dumb clients and the people working there won't miss a thing. And when you put one of your desktop systems in the place of the server and have 10 P2s at 200Mhz in place for clients, I don't know how cheap you can get. Check your facts, there's no need for mainframes anymore to have client-server arhitectures.
Sue your service provider. Those bastards couldn't do it without your service provider... I recently phoned my service provider company (orange) to complain about those messages and learnt that they have a special number where you can "unsubscribe" from those messages.
That's not what i'm saying. What I'm saying is to generate MD5 only for the names of the variables, so you can control what is passed on to the script, so you will not have any variable out of your control (like in your example). Also, a good simple alternative is to use extract() at the top of the script and then simply overwrite any important variable, based on your script.

I do the same. Solutions: use GVim in windows and vim in linux. You don't need an office suite anyway :)
Now I can never trust that news source again :)
The rocket launched itself, two minutes before the planned launch. It was on the news, two days ago...
Look who's talking :)

Didn't they invented NETBIOS to replace it? :)

Yes, I'm part of the ecologist nazis.

I've recently completed a Python-based office app. It used Excel for data gathering, through COM, and it wrote reports in Word.
Advantages? It's free, you get to use the same documentation as for Vbasic (the Office help files) and the language is cool and easy to learn.

Usualy, for tabify, you can specify what you want: tabs or spaces. See for example PythonWin, SPE, DrPython, etc. All have these features.

Usualy python editors have some "tabify region" command, where it takes whitespace and replaces it with tabs.

He may be, but his stories suck. (at least for adult, I don't have the perspective of a child)
