  1. Showstopper bug? on aMSN 0.95 Released · · Score: 1

    There was showstopper bug in aMSN (and Tkabber) when using Tcl/Tk compiled with --enable-threads option under linux kernels 2.5+. I believe it is not Debian-specific issue. Is it fixed already?

  2. links to competitors? on South Korea Fines Microsoft $32 Million · · Score: 1

    "must include links to competitors"

    It's cool if it means that Micro$oft will include links to Mplayer and Psi accordingly!

  3. Why not Debian Jr.? on Edubuntu - Linux For Young Human Beings! · · Score: 1

    Please, have a look at http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-jr/.

  4. Re:Mac OS X on OpenOffice.org 2.0 Released · · Score: 4, Informative

    May be to use NeoOffice instead?

  5. rc2? on OpenOffice.org 2.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Are there any major changes between RC2 and release?

  6. Webcams in Jabber? on Yahoo and Microsoft to Merge Instant Messengers · · Score: 1

    Hello.

    Is it possible to make camera working between to Jabber/XMPP endpoints in gaim-vv?

  7. No s2s in GTalk on Yahoo and Microsoft to Merge Instant Messengers · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately Google implements lesser that 10% of Jabber/XMPP features (excluding their proprietary voip), even offline storage is not realised at this time, not even speaking about s2s, the ability to communicate with people from other servers.

    Anyway Google promised to implement s2s one nice day and describe their voice feature specification.

  8. Distributed IM with open specs? on Yahoo and Microsoft to Merge Instant Messengers · · Score: 1

    Suppose it would be really great to have a single generic protocol for instant messaging, but if there will be no dictator like Microsoft behind it. This system should be distributed and with opened specifications (as Jabber/XMPP). Clients for it's network should be exist for various platforms, not only for win32 and mac. The ability for running own server is also important.

  9. Re:mod_python support? on TurboGears: Python on Rails? · · Score: 1

    It seems they recommend just a standalone process behind apache for production setup.

  10. Looks like Django! on TurboGears: Python on Rails? · · Score: 1

    This framework looks very-vey similar to Django. Unlike TG, Django is all-in-one solution: built-in admin interface, built-in extensible template system, and so on.

  11. The only one thing I do hate in Ubuntu... on Shuttleworth on Ubuntu's Direction and Intent · · Score: 1

    ...that every small program (Firefox, CUPS, many others) depends on Gnome libraries and there is no chance to avoid it. Still I am an old Debian and FVWM user, but also have tried Ubuntu Live CD on my HP Compaq nx9020 laptop and was much surprised when discovered that hardware suspending works out-of-box. I can't say this feature works in my current Debian GNU/Linux Sarge.

    Thanks, Mr. Shuttleworth, I will probably have to backport ACPI changes into my current system and feel happy.

  12. Microsoft Windows? on Heap Protection Mechanism · · Score: 2, Funny

    Could this technology be implemented in the Microsoft Windows systems to be more secure than Linux?

  13. But... on Opera Free as in Beer · · Score: 1

    FireFox goes with any of modern Linux/BSD distroes. And Opera doesn't!

  14. Google/Jabber: VoIP, gate to ICQ, AIM & iChat on Google Instant Messenger Coming Really (or Not?) · · Score: 1
  15. Excellent news! on Debian 3.1 (Sarge) Released · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The only thing frustrated me -- the number of Release-Critical bugs is not zero! Why is it so? Could anybody give the answer?

  16. decreasing? on Gmail's Birthday Presents · · Score: 1

    I wonder, will the storage counter begin decreasing tomorrow, after April 1-st go away?!

  17. Linuxes on PPC on Yellow Dog Linux v4.0 Released · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Debian GNU/Linux also has port for PPC, so why to use Fedora's userspace? Are there _real_ advantages of Yellow Dog Linux?

  18. Re:Not a standard ... yet on Jive Software To Open Source Its Jabber Server · · Score: 2, Informative

    Yeah, its work is still in progress. And in addition to XMPP proto there are JEPS (Jabber Enhancement Proposals), which update more frequently than core.

  19. Re:What we really need on Next iChat version to include Jabber support · · Score: 1

    Gaim-like programs such as Miranda are overloaded with features, buggy and eat more memory than a standalone Jabber-client, i.e. tkabber.

  20. wheel? on Longhorn Will Have Ability to Ban External Storage Devices · · Score: 1

    It seems to me that the primary Micro$oft's plans for the near future are to invent and patent the wheel.

  21. When will XOrg appear in Debian GNU/Linux? on X.org X11 Server Release 6.8 · · Score: 2, Informative

    I have found the answer on this question here.

  22. yet another solution for the problem on Mozilla Project Officially Releases Firefox 0.9 · · Score: 1

    Once I downloaded and extracted the tarball, I had a problem that my X Window System didn't permit to execute FireFox. The solution of the problem was to chown the program tree to root.root, i.e: # chown -R 0.0 /usr/local/firefox/
