PM is not bad, but I just can't use a 64 bit desktop CPU anymore! Don't ask me why I need 64 bit computing, you fool! For using 'int' instead of 'long long', at least:-)
Why not compare Mac Mini to PowerMac G5 instead?
Maybe one cluster of two or three cheap Mac Mini can outperform one PowerMac G5? If so, it would be a cheap solution for computing intensive tasks. Anybody wants to try it? Run Maya's distributed renderer on it?
These days I have been working on the Chinese printing problem of Mozilla/FireFox. I found that the PostScript output function very weak, especially when printing Web pages in CJK languages. OpenOffice's printing function is much better. It can embed CJK TrueType fonts into the PostScript output, in vector Type 3 format. I really hope the developers can put similar functions into Mozilla/FireFox.
BTW: Why not make a Qt/KDE version of Mozilla/FireFox?
One day I opened two XTerm window, in one of them I was cleanning some files in a working directory, which itself is on a remote machine (through telnet), and in another window I've used SU to root, and in my own/. My shell prompt did not display the current directory and the hostname. The two XTerm windows looked very alike. When I want to remove all the files and directories in the remote directory, I actually entered the "rm -rf" in my own/. When it began to remove/proc, I saw some error messages, and at first I was puzzled. When I finally realized what I had done and killed the rm process, almost all the data on my own disk has been removed. And what is the worst, it's a source based distribution, built from scratch...my machine is not very fast and I've spent about one week to build the system. Let your shell prompt display the host name and the current directory is always a good idea, and don't switch to other windows (and the worse, switch back) when you are root.
Of course I don't think so:-)
But if they can hear the sound, the source must be inside the ISS, or on the body of the ISS.
That means there must have some metal things of the ISS which was broken. So I don't see anything about alien.
Otherwise, the source must be in the space, where is vaccum, so how can they hear the sounds?
Maybe you are right, but I think that is because MS Word is a word processing program, not typesetting program. And.doc format is quite limited compared with the document formats produced by professional typesetting program, such as Adobe InDesign or QuarkXPress. So they choose QuarkXPress. And seasoned designers love Macintosh, not PC, for historical reason. But I still want to know why they choose QuarkXPress instead of their own typesetting program, the Microsoft Office Publisher. It is just enough to typeset this little document. Maybe they can not find a professional designer who like to use MS Publisher. In this field MS is a loser.
Look carefully in the "OpenOffice 1.1 is an open source alternative" section:
"...development or support rteam..."
It should be "team", no "r".
I've noticed that this document is typesetted in QuarkXPress. But I think they type the text content in their valuable MS Word, and they do have a commercial spell checker. Or may be they don't treat this document seriously (They should publish it later, e.g. April 1st).
BTW: Why they typeset this little document in the infamous Microsoft Office Publisher?
It will be more sweet if we got a professional vector graphics program. The GIMP is at least as good as Adobe Photoshop, but all the free vector drawing programs (Sodipodi, Sketch, etc) are so limited. We need a program as good as Adobe Illustrator (I know some artist use Sodipodi to create beautiful icons for Gnome or KDE. That must be painfull). Personally, I have been waiting for it since Adobe Illustrator 7 was released.
Slashdot Mirror
All Web based services from Google have Searching functions. I wonder how will Google apply its' search engine to this new VOIP service.
learn the inner workings of Linux and uses some CPU running below 1GHZ
You mean iPod?
Now the illness is over, good luck! But does he still want to exclude GNOME from Slackware?
"Patrick Volkerding".
:-)
However, it seems that there has been a bug fix for this package's recent problem
Yeah, see it in the ABI specification :-(
But why? To save some space?
Yeah... When will we get the chance to modify our posts on Slashdot...

Most of the spam I received came from Hotmail mail boxes.

I'm confused. Maybe they read too much Stephen King novels.

No you didn't misread, but the author misspelled.
.text _start: Assembly of course # You know this is the same developers # who develop NetWare? .end
Novell make the NetWare source code free.
NetWare is a sexy OS, I think.
It will be better if I can run GNOME and __Ximian__ Evolution on NetWare.
BTW: Today I compiled GNU/Hurd on my PC. It is not sexy at all.
