  1. Me too. I ran it when it came preinstalled on OSX. Worst browser ever, no contest. A crappy windows port. Was gone from OSX within a year or so if I recall correctly.

    Price also matters. In my country you get between 2.5 - 3 Ioniq:s (not Ionic) for the price of one Tesla.

    That is unfair. VS is almost as good as pico.

    Actually Nokia did.

    More like lilo needed to be reinstalled after every kernel change.
    If you forgot or something went wrong you where SOL.
    GRUB only needs to update its files in the filesystem.
    Also, GRUB has a command line from where you can choose kernel to boot if things got messed up.
    GRUB can also boot more things than LILO can.

    "App" is nowhere on that page. Appz is, but that is another thing entirely.

    It isn't a proper version number. Many in between has been skipped, like going from 290 to 330.

    Maybe it was the first boot? When I bought a fresh PC with Vista preinstalled, the docs said to expect about 30 minutes for the OS to boot the first time. I never did it though, I installed Ubuntu.

    I have one too. A Xerox printer, does not work in XP (no driver), only W98 or older.

    You do know that ECMA standardises everything they get paid for to do? It is how they make a living. It is not a proper standardization organisation.

  18. Re:Project GoneME on Gnome 2.6 Usability Review · · Score: 1

    I agree! Putting the cancel on the left and the okay on the right is WEIRD! Most of us read left-to-right, and would expect the action we want to take (which should also be the default action) to be the first one.

    Most people are right handed. This means that the pointer will automatically be on the right side of the screen most of the time (I'm not kidding, observe yourself for a while and you'll see it).

    Thus, having okay on the right is better because it means less mouse movement.

  19. Re:Yeah, but... on Jens Of Sweden MP3 Player With OLED, Ogg · · Score: 2, Informative

    Yes, I have a JOS, MP100. It just comes up as an USB hard drive, so it is a no brainer to get it to work on Linux. The bad part is that firware upgrade can only be done from MS Windows, not even Mac.

  20. Re:grrr. on Mono and dotGnu: What's the Point? · · Score: 1

    Actually C++ becomes useless if you are forced to use MFC or W32 libraries, they really stink.

    There is absolutely no advantage to C# over other languages out there, so if you don't even have standard libraries you are better off using something that is more generally available.

  21. Re:grrr. on Mono and dotGnu: What's the Point? · · Score: 5, Informative

    The language is an ECMA standard, but the runtime libraries are not. Without those, C# is pretty useless.

    BTW, ECMA accepts all standards that companies care to pay for, they are hardly neutral.

  22. Can not download from a Mac... on Real Launches New Player, Music Store · · Score: 1

    I went to RealNetworks.com, and thought I should give it a try on my Windows box. I however, surfed in from my Mac OSX box. Guess what, I can not download a Windows version from Mac OSX! Real keeps giving me Mac only links and options on their pages, not even a link for "other OSes". Even if I click on a link that explicitly says "Real player 10", I come to a download page for the older player for OS X.

    This is so stupid, there is not even the possibility to read about Real 10. I thought I give Real another try, but these bozoz doesn't seem to be capable of doing anything right, goodbay forever Real!!

  23. Re:LInux is not Cetified UNix on On The Death Of Unix · · Score: 1

    Well, it doesn't matter much if it is branded Unix by the OpenGroup. S/390 is by that standard a Unix, but all the old AT&T versions are not. Nor are most BSD versions.

    If it feels like Unix, it *is* Unix, IMHO. :-)

  24. Re:Which Unix? on On The Death Of Unix · · Score: 1

    There where at least 13 different branches of POSIX, called 1003.1, 1003.2 etc, each covering a different part of POSIX. 1003.2 is shells and tools, 1003.1 is essential API, 1003.4 (later merged into 1003.1) was threads etc.

    NT implemented 1003.1 (and did not bother to upgrade that version when 1003.1 changed). That is less than 8% of POSIX. That is nowhere near to "implementing POSIX" in my view.

  25. Re:UNIX is dying? on Interview with Havoc Pennington of Red Hat · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Linux smells like UNIX, so it *is* UNIX :-)

    More points:
    Linux uses the "everything is files" philosophy, Win2K does not, Cygwin does not.

    Linux has all "traditional" UNIX API:s.

    Internally in the kernel, Linux has a lot of "traditional" UNIX solutions, tty/ptys, serial ports, filesystem mounts, networking, etc. is very UNIX.

    Most utilities are UNIX-utilitie (cu, ls, mount, etc.).

    Sysadmin stuff is basically UNIX (/etc/init, runlevels, inittab, and more).

    Linux is therefore much more UNIX than Cygwin, BeOS or anything from Microsoft.

    It just feels like UNIX in a way that other OSes does not. It therefore *is* UNIX in my book.
    Not trademark UNIX, the Open Group defines that, but neither is Cygwin, BeOS or Win2K.
