its also very useful for small things, like adding a HTTP header, inserting the date, sending email, includes (for modular HTML).
Im using the includes on a site im working on at the moment because its so easy - one line and the top and one line at the bottom of each page, and i just have to put the content in the middle
is it suns turn to be evil this week or next week? i know its my turn to do the shopping this week so yes, its suns turn to be evil the week after next.
it does emulate (not the api, thats just a reimplementation, like gtk for X and gtk for windows). it does emulate the paths to files (c:\=~/.wine/fakec)and other stuff.
its not the fact that it allows you to use another operating systems applications that make it an emulator. for the most part its just a set of the win32 api's.
There is some emulation in there, such as changing path names dynamically from c:\program files\myprogram\myprogram.exe to ~/.wine/fakec/program files/myprogram/myprogram.exe.
the automagic mounting of removable media (camera's, etc) should be coming to other distro's soon, i think thats what DBUS is for, but it might be something else.
gentoo is perfectly stable for me, and im running an ~x86 world (software is ~x86 and once its stable enough it goes into x86)
must just be xandros's implementation. mandrakes known for being buggy and crashy too.
i would like to point out also that i am writing a website, but am having to not only write around microsofts poor implementation of css, but the fact that IE crashes on one of my stylesheets on my IE that im running under vmware, my gf's dad's IE and somebody on irc's IE too. (if you dont believe me ask in irc.freenode.org#web)
im not normally one of the tinfoil hat crowd, but this article got me thinking:
what if microsoft is taking this chance to gouge customers, while there's competition (point to linux), then once its finished gouging the customers and this product activation is commonplace, they'l sue linux vendors and users (or get another sco to do it) for patent infringement, wipe out the competition, then theyve gouged their customers and other companies customers too.
It would explain the abnormal amount of patents theyve applied for recently, and it would also explain why they're willing to gouge their customers so bad, even though they're scared of linux (companies dont spend so much energy spreading FUD about competitors if theyre not scared of them).
i dont mean to troll, but i seriously dont understand how anybody can use a distro without package management tools as good as aptget or portage.
im a gentoo user myself which is _supposed_ to be hard, but i struggle with mandrake because of the lack of portage style package management and the dependancy problems associated with it.
i used to use slack, but i installed gentoo and i will never look back to a distro without something equivalent to portage.
you dont have bare wires and crocodile clips. you'd use some kind of protective plug on the end (that [somehow] only lets power pass through it when its in the socket, in the car)
Slashdot Mirror
does that count if they damage my stylesheets (ive spent a week trying to work around ie's crappy css implementation)
if so, i'l be rich!
update: my gf has winxpsp2 on her other partition and ive just tried that stylesheet in IE, in it. it crashed, so its not fixed in SP2.
im making a habit of double posting
cool. like i said, it is apparently fixed in sp2 (or the bloke who tried it for me had something else which prevented it somehow)
variable and function names should come from /dev/urandom - thats what real men do
oops, slashdot put a space in there for me, click here

it can currently be found here:

i think thats the one that crashes IE anyway. apparently it doesn't crash IE6 on SP2 though.
Also it looks crap at the moment, i know.

youve obviously never heard of a manchester nail (hammer a screw when your in a rush or cant be arsed)
is it suns turn to be evil this week or next week? i know its my turn to do the shopping this week so yes, its suns turn to be evil the week after next.
i wish the /. articles would start correcting misconceptions, so the whole discussion doesn't go like this:
1. microsoft shouldn't have to update wine because they didn't write it
2. the article is about updating office on wine, not wine itself
1. microsoft shouldn't have to update wine because they didn't write it

the article's about microsoft office, which you can buy legitimately without a windows license, and run in wine

it does help:
one core for playing a game, the other for the OS
or one core for ripping a dvd, the other for everything else
as long as you dont only run one app at once you will greatly benifit, and even when you do (when you play a game for example), you still benifit.

Is there a reason why pipes cant be used for local Xserver > localhost Xclient though?
I wasn't implying it could be used for the network X protocol.
I dont claim to know anything about pipes or sockets, im not a programmer.
wouldn't using pipes for local IPC be even faster than unix sockets?
Could there be something blocking a star, like a blackhole or something?
Also, is it possible that there was once a star, but now there isn't.
Could they be rotating around something cold and solid, or something not burning bright enough to be visible at these distances
wow - that many people dont know ifconfig/ipconfig, that know about ip addresses. im amazed.
Its not exactly full of 1024x768 tiff images either.
duh! hold it underwater while its charging.
