How is the crossplatform aspect covered? There are hundreds of possible solutions for VPNs out there, but if you want something that works on *nix, Windows and Mac (Classic and X) and is free and open, the range of products to choose from gets small...
For example, I couldn't find a free IPSEC client for Windows.
Despite the announcement, that says it will help Gnome 2.0, it will help Gnome 2.x and much more Gnome 3.0. In the long run, this move will Gnome much more than in the short run.
Took years before MS lost the case, but now selling OEM versions was officially declared legal despite MS telling you the opposite. (The full shrink-wrapped edition could be sold legally before, despite MS telling you the opposite).
But of course MS raised the bar and now nearly all preinstalled MS versions are delivered with "recovery only" CDs, which simply don't make sense on a different computer...
Under Asus Notebook Upgrading you'll find a close inspection of an Asus Notebook. How to reach the inner parts, how to upgrade them, etc. Perhaps Tom's hardware has some other notebook articles like this.
Take a look at SoftFSB. Windows only, never tried to find a Linux alternative.
With my Asus Notebook I can set FSB from 100 MHz to 66 Mhz which lets my CPU run at 566 MHz instead of 850.
Extends battery life on my notebook from 3 hours to 3 hours and 20 minutes.
The CPU cooler does start less frequently with an FSB of 66 MHz.
SoftFSB does not support every notebook/mainboard but with a ThinkPad you'll probably have good chances.
Second that.
Over here in Germany you never really had that option. You had to buy and pay the MS tax and ask for a refund afterwards. With no guarantee whatsoever, that you actually get your money back.
Bye egghat.

It's a beta, but hey, we're on Slashdot;-)
They claim, that it is MUCH better lbx Stuff from X.
Plz. moderate this up, I think it's a rather useful project, that needs a few good hackers.

This is essentially the same system, that a company from Vienna, Austria, tries to establish. You can find more infos here. But you'll need the fish there as well.
I'm sure the web needs some kind of "small fee for the seller / small amount for the buyer" payment solution. Credit cards are good for big payments. E-Cash solutions are essentially dead.
To all guys complaining about MS security:
Try installing their products in Spanish, French German or whatever you like.
Then you will learn what untimely and sometimes even forgotten bug and security fixes are:-(((
If you ever want to make a computer really insecure
Install Windows NT Server German. And then IIS on top. Forget about security forever. Or you'll never sleep calm again.
Bye egghat.

"Attempts to introduce Unix shell features like pipelining into graphical user interfaces [3,6,7,8,15,16] have been unsuccessful, largely because they were not integrated well with existing applications, required extra work
from application developers to expose hooks and programming interfaces, or were too hard to use."

Check out OpenCMS under http://www.opencms.org/. Available for some weeks already. Written in Java.
Quote:
OpenCms is written in 100% Java and based on J2EE standards. Java Servlets are used to deliver HTML content created from XML templates. The whole content of the system is stored in a JDBC - compliant database. Java Applets or ActiveX - Controls are used as client side editors. For the basic components, well known Open Source components have been selected, please see our Credits page.
So this may be the solution for the people, who don't like another template engine and win-only Editor (OK OK, the HTML component of opencms is ActiveX for IE, but with reduced funcionality opencms works in a simple browser).
btw., is there no HTML editing applet available like the programmers of opencms state? They would like to use oe, but didn't find anything despite the ActiveX thing.
One of the factors contributing to few developers is the simple fact that english as the only language is almost useless to almost all people on earth... Look, how many open source projects were developed by people whose primary language isn't English (Finnish : Linux, German: KDE, etc.).
So IBM: Please internationalize VV for Linux.
Moving trained datasets from the windows software to linux isn't a solution.

How is the crossplatform aspect covered? There are hundreds of possible solutions for VPNs out there, but if you want something that works on *nix, Windows and Mac (Classic and X) and is free and open, the range of products to choose from gets small ...
For example, I couldn't find a free IPSEC client for Windows.
Any new hints from this book?
Thanks in advance.

Strange.
;-)
Hopefully they are not going to make Gnome payware, except under Solaris
not a kernel problem.
But the GCC people are working on it.
Hi,
;-) again.
how can one save a scheduled programm to disk, say John Peel?
Real tries to make this nearly impossible. Is this easier with Vorbis?
I would really like to listen to the Mighty Mighty Peel
Bye egghat.
yeah and that's a big shame.
GTK porting was mainly done by one single person.
I think, there are a few other GTK based apps, which Windows Users would like. But without a stable GTK on Windows?

This would reduce the number of downloads of the Java JRE to one and would make updates much more user friendly.
:-(
And at last, Java Web Start would have its first killer app.
I wrote this to the tech department, but the mail bounced
Bye egghat.
I can't see them anywhere ... at least over here in Germany. Any sources?
TIA!

And did anybody use it before 1985 to download say BIND 0.9? Or sendmail 1.3? Or vi?
Come on, this should be easy to crack!

Check it out here! Much better than ssh+compression or anything else I tried with VNC.

I always read freshmeat via nntp. Is it gone? I don't get updates for Jan. 31.
search freshmeat for ical
i think most of parts are already there (ldap, ical, etc.), but someone has to glue them together.
it's there primary mirror ...
Which isn't the case for any other distro.
subject says it all ...
