  2. in Sweden on OS/2 Sucessor eComstation Sees The Light Of Day · · Score: 1

    in Sweden Nordbankens ATM's run OS/2. I saw one rebooting and rebooting one day in Stockholm. Must have been something wrong with in. But Im sure it runs much better the Föreningssparbanken's ATM, they use WindowsNT and its dog slow.. you get lag when you enter the PIN-numbers. Sometimes they crash and you cant use them. Pretty strange to see a "out of virtual memory" on an ATM machine.

  6. Easier and faster to program for.. on 4 Web Scripting Languages Compared · · Score: 1

    Im a web developer I dont know C/C++ good enough to make a web-app with it. But with asp/php I can make several in a very short time frame.
    But the relative ease of programming will bite you in the ass if you dont have a good head and can structure your code in a good way. ASP/Vbscript is a big reason for this. Many people without any programming skills will try to make a web-application and the result will often be very bad!

  9. Not Red Hat god damnit... on Metalab Changes Its Name (Again) · · Score: 1

    I getting so sick of this RH bashing that some people think are cool here at slashdot. All the software RH writes is released under the GPL and they support lots of projects with men/machine/money . They are one of the biggest contributers to the open source community and they give money back to the community and this makes them bad???? I really dont understand this!!

    BUT! back to the story..

    If you just read the about this you will see that is Mark Ewing and Bob Young as persons that are giving away the money. I guess they are spending some of the money they earned when RH IPO:ed.

  10. How far is Helix Gnome from this?? on QNX RealTime Platform Preview · · Score: 1

    I have been using helix gnome a little and I like it.
    But I was wondering if anyone know if they
    are taking a shot at making after-install
    configuration of linux any easier?
    like re-configurating X or changing your timezone?
    I know you can run Xconfigurator or whatever but
    it would be really nice to be able to change
    it all from withing Helix Gnome.
    Also.. What is happening with linuxconf?? The last
    time I used it had great potential but was
    a UI nightmare. Are anyone working on
    improving it.. or are anyone making something better??

    I really, really like the way these screenshots look
    but according to the article DnD didn't work
    so they seem to be a bit behind in some areas

    I for one would love to have sucha enviroment on my
    linux workstation, it really *looks* polished..

    You dont seem to understand the differnce
    between games and professional work. Tell me
    ONE single professional 3D program that run on
    Linux, (except Houdini). The O2 came out in
    1996/1997 and you are comparing a 200Mhz
    O2 made for _modelling_ with a brand new
    500Mhz ( or what you got ) P3 with a brand new
    graphics-card,made for games
    That's like comparing apples and oranges!

    And the fact that DD rendered Titanic on Linux
    doesn't say shit cause rendering is all about
    CPU-number-crunching and you only need an os
    that doesn't crash every second and
    doesnt
    cost and arm and a leg, so they could
    have used *BSD instead of Linux
