When I think of Star Trek I remember the endless hours of watching the old series and TNG... but with the newer series (DS9, Voyager...) Star Trek seems to have lost its "trekkieness"... in my eyes it has become something completely different - something i didn't enjoy in that special way as the old series. Since then Star Trek has been dead for me and the only thing that reminded me of its existence were the new cinematic releases. Then I kind of remembered being a trekkie but a few days later I sort of forgotten it all over again. I don't know if I'm the only one that feels this way but I think Star Trek sould cease to exist in the way it has existed tha last couple of years... and return when it's ready.
I appreciate you sharing your problems with us and all, but your entire post is entirely offtopic.
Having read it though... I must say that you know next to nothing about the organisation of OSS projects. It's not all about geeks with pimples playing slaves for IBM... theres' more... i'll leave you to discover it for yourself though...
this is not about an incentive or a question of upgrading or not upgrading... M$ is doing this because their bloated Longhorn will be out much later then anticipated... And they are beginning to slowly feel their user's possible loss of "faithfulness"... this is all just a marketing game to make the wait for Longhorn seem like a short while. But us/.ers know that XP was released in 2001 and Longhorn won't be out before the end of 2006. Did any other "upgrade" (except for Duke Nukem Forever of course) take so long to develop? I think this is the right time for GNU/Linux to strike hard at the Ms desktop user base...
Without commenting how beautiful it all looks, I must say one thing. Valve should really consider making a GNU/Linux version of their new releases unless they want to remain in the stone age...
I mean... if the linux community is good enough for running their game servers, which obviously helps them to fat cash, they should port the games to linux!
That's the main question... in my opinion features like this should be developed as close to the FS as possible...
And if they want to create something like this on a higher level (meaning FS independent and all that stuff...) why not just create a simple GUI for locate?
I mean it's clearly a similar indexing feature and IMHO the work involved shold rather be invested in future FS development...
A couple of geeks from slashdot should have checked their documentation before they even built Beagle II... They may have succeeded:)
Obviously, they should have named it Slashdot I...

Maybe you should be aware of the fact, that Firefox is still pre 1.0 ... so you shouldn't vote against it based on such bugs...

if they wanted to create a mini-mi package, why didn't they start with the firefox codebase ... my guess is the browser would rock
don't know about that ... have to check a friend of mine's breasts for intel inside logos
Yeah ... next thing you know, the fella behind the big bang will sue intel for inventing silicone
