I kinda feel though that Fedora leans towards Gnome as its favourite, as all Fedora/Redhat's management panels and the ilk are written for GTK not Qt... So I figure their more of the Gnome than KDE ilk, but either or should work fine with Fedora.
Then again, SuSE YaST is written in Qt and they favour Gnome, but that's because of a policy shift with the Ximian acquisition and then their acquisition by Novell...
Personally I prefer Gnome on my Fedora box because I don't feel like running Qt and GTK... If you want to run only Qt and KDE without loading any Gtk libs, then You're out of luck with Fedora I guess...
That's because there is no such thing as private property in the United States.
Actually, this article is about Canada, but here in Canada, your deed explicitly states that the land is property of the Crown ( don't get me started on what that means ), and you own the rights to the land, but it's not yours. Same as the US.
If you were to blame OSS, I could understand. But Linux ?
No, I'm blaming OSS in general, that this is likely more commonplace than we realize.
Linux is generally a bit better - this just really pissed me off with the Ruby-dev team - it seemed to be a compatibility issue. I'll file a bug report, but for certain I'll have to try to figure it out myself...
Yeah - up2date has Ruby 1.8.1, but rubygems and ruby-dbi and the ilk don't seem to compile well for 1.8.1... Seems in the Ruby world, the best guarantee for compatibility to build latest and greatest.
Funny thing is, on an older RHEL 4 box it'd build just fine, this is an updated RHEL4 box where Ruby wouldn't build.
You should see the shitty response I got from the Ruby dev team: "Seems like you have a library issue, sorry, no one here will help you". That was from Matz himself.
I'm a Linux fanboi, but shit like that really sucks to have to deal with...
make && make install Really? I'm trying to install Ruby from source on an x96_64 RHEL 4 box and I'm getting some cryptic error message compiling begdecimal. Not only does it not tell me what library I'm missing, the folks on the ruby-core mailing list could give a rat's ass about my error message, and I'm not finding any answers anywhere about what's up with my libs.
Now I'm no novice, but when I run in to these problems, how can I expect someone's mom to have to deal with that BS?
Seriously, it isn't a horrible idea to distribute software with their dependant libraries.
They're apparently embedding a fucking SQL DATABASE into Firefox 3. Given that SQL databases are not exactly known for being light-weight
There's a big difference between an embedded database like Berkely DB or SQLLite and an enterprise DB like DB2 or SQL Server... And embedded SQL Database is VERY lightweight.
Someone said something about the likelihood that Samba would hit in this and how that would actually be beneficial. That was me in one thread that said that... I looked into it further...
What gets me is liHe's for bigger goverberal people bash bush when he is more liberal than some democrats.
Bush is a neocon, not a conservative. Neocons find their roots in the Democratic party of the 1970's... A conservative would be for smaller government. Bush is not.
Consider using Camino... While Safari is nice, Camino uses the Mozilla Gecko engine instead of the KHTML engine... Given Firefox's popularity you're more likely to have well rendered sites for Camino than Mozilla...
I'll wager that Microsoft is eying FAT and NTFS I wouldn't be surprised if they've somehow tried to patent SMB/CIFS also... (Which incidentally is shipped with SCO Unix also.)
(Which is where the 'attempted robbery' analogy completely breaks down. attempted robbery and attempted homicide are cleanly distinguishable from legal activity.)
Robbery, rape and murder are heinous crimes. Ever heard anyone charged with "attempted assault" or "attempted uttering threats"? Attempts at heinous crimes should be charged.
In Civil cases it's weird. Attempted breach of contract? Attempted libel? Attempted Slander? The thing with civil court cases is that something has to happen that causes damages to ensue.
Making copyright infringement as heinous as criminal acts like robbery, rape, and murder is against the Rule of Law IMO. Then again, in Washington State, gambling online has a stiffer criminal penalty than pedophilia - go figure.
Just because you call something a religion doesn't mean it is. Scientology is a money-making scam, nothing more. That is not to say that there aren't any believers, but every scam has its believers.
In fact I am building yet another extension to block even Google text ads in FF.
Er, adblock? Seriously, just block the javascript that loads from google... All I do... Haven't seen those text ads in ages. Why write an extension - it already exists.
... They charge way too much for the ticket for me to think it's OK for them to also force feed me advertisements for things that are completely unrelated to the movies.
So wait until the hype dyes down, and go when you can arrive at a show 20 mins late and be "on time"...
The only time you're forced to sit through ads is through blockbusters like Spider-Man 3...
As a TV commercial producer, this makes me very happy;)
And what's next? Prevent people from changing channels while a commercial is on? Colluding with other networks to ensure all commercials are run at the same time?
Really, you can ram it down our throats, and we can backlash.
Cover my TV with ads, I'll switch to an on-demand service like Apple-TV instead of cable.
Bill would then begin a wide gaped laughing as their pair of you batter each other back and forth across the meeting room to a backdrop of animated powerpoint slides and starfield screensavers.
I just wish I knew what they were doing during the Zune presentation. That mp3 player made Microsoft look like a bunch of idiots. It was simply Microsoft's "me too" entry...
Probably some product manager from their online music store claiming that lackluster sales were caused from lack of a mp3 player for an end to end solution.
Owning a gun or talking about buying a gun is, as far as I know, does not qualify you for a protected class
Owning a LEGAL item, and talking about a LEGAL item is hardly a problem. It's consitutionally protected, get over it. Whether I agree with gun ownership or not is irrelevant as long as it's constitutionall protected.
Unless you know everyone around you, this [threepanelsoul.com] probably isn't an appropriate conversation for the workplace
Well owning a gun is constitutionally protected, and his right to talk about owning it should too be constitutionally protected. Honestly there's little wrong or in appropriate - he wasn't talking to the coworker who overheard the conversation...
Say he buys a gun for self defence. We can assume that he wants to defend himself; a.22 wouldn't adequately do the job, and that's what he was talking about. Perhaps not brilliant, but hardly horrible either.
Mods were wrong to mod you as flamebait - it's a valid opinion although it disgusts me that people think that way.
It's human nature to want to procreate. We're coded to desire to procreate. That's why it feels soooooooooooo good:) And just so you know, although Jesus may say differently, we're biologically made to have more than one parter in life too. So given that science has made us a certain way, and there's a disease out there that exploits it.
Good on Brazil for taking a stance against an opportunistic company. There's the need to recover R&D costs - which is understandable, but fleecing these poor people is another story.
Any piece of copyrighted information can be expressed as a number. I can take Photoshop CS3, and express it as a number.
Sure, and you can express a book and an entire movie as a number too. But there's a limit. You can't copy a sentence from the book, but a word is perfectly acceptable. But when the sentence is as short as something like: "The car climbed up the hill" for example, it can't be copyrighted. It's common sense that this sentence is too vague to be considered.
Same with this number - it may have intrinsic value to the stakeholders, but that doesn't mean you can decide who can spout off that number either.

Regardless of how "light" this is, it really sounds like feature creep to me.
Regardless of how you feel, sqlite ( or BDB) will be faster than trying to parse text files or xml files for the amount of config settings in Firefox.
It's a good idea.

According to this article, Microsoft can't sue because they've opened up the CIFS protocol...
Interestingly, SMB started with IBM, not Microsoft. Pretty common theme at Microsoft eh?

Oh well, back to writing queries now...
And as one person said, attempted crimes are often persecuted, with murder as a clear example. Robbery is another.

When was copyright infringement a criminal, and not civil matter?
IANAL ( but I play one on
Can I sue you if we have a contract, you try to breach it, but fail?
I know that the TCP/IP in Windows was derived from BSD.
Are you familiar with the terms of the BSD license? Last I heard BSD was a free, permissive license?
Maybe Microsoft "owes" to you, but according to the BSD license isn't Microsoft free to implment that TCP/IP stack at will?
Just because you call something a religion doesn't mean it is. Scientology is a money-making scam, nothing more. That is not to say that there aren't any believers, but every scam has its believers.
It's a religion - no mistaking it. A cult too is considered religion. I like this discussion of what a religion is.

Dude it's a number. Granted a large number, but still just a number.

There are certain things you should NOT be allowed to own - a number is one of them.

Yeah, as if THAT isn't a career limiting move. Everyone LOVES a snitch.

Seriously, don't snitch as a first resort, use it as a last resort - hell even make an HR issue out of it.
