    Not sure about this, but I think there is an option in the view menu to toggle that behavior in kfm. (The index.html thing.)

  3. It's all in the braces! on Statistics On Free Software projects · · Score: 1

    A lot of unix coders put the starting brace of while and for loops on the same line. I think windows code generally puts it on the next line.

    I know it is only one line, but a lot of unix code I've seen does "} else {". That's three lines of windows code. It adds up! :)

  4. Re:Who here is using KDevelop at work for producti on KDevelop 1.2 is out · · Score: 1

    Losing functionality because you have a smaller screen is expected. :)

    KDE2 has a windowmanager style for laptop owners/people with small resolutions. The title bar is not very tall, and there is an oversized resize handle on the bottom right of the window.

    Titlebar - Use Mac Menu mode. Then you only have a titlebar for the active window.

    Toolbar - click on the handle to hide it.

    Launchbar - click on the buttons on either end to hide it.

    Taskbar - can be turned off -- just use the middle click to get a task list

    KDevelop's frames can be resized. It is a standard splitter widget. KDevelop2.x (currently in development) has dock widgets like VC++ and Visual Slickedit. (VS is available for linux too.)

    All key combinations can be changed.

    All KDE apps expect people to customize their colors; no colors are hard coded.

    Once again, it is not a total clone of windows! You might be arguing about the default configuration, but not kde as a whole.

    What? KDE looks like Microsoft Software? You mean it has a taskbar? Icons? Menu bars? Toolbars? Pushbuttons? Elements which are part of nearly every desktop environment? Grow up!

    Please remember that Gnome can be configured to look like Microsoft Windows as well.

    I've said this here a thousand times. If you come from CDE you think that KDE is a lot like CDE. If you come from windows, it feels like windows. That tells me that the KDE folks have done their job -- makeing the user feel at home.

    html4.0 is almost finished.

    css2 has partial support.

    Java applets work.

    JavaScript still needs some work.

    They are working at blinding speeds, though.

    Try it out for yourself if you really want to know.

  14. quicktime vs sorenson codec on Why Hasn't Apple Released Quicktime For UNIX? · · Score: 1

    The specs for the quicktime format are available to the public.

    The part we need is the sorenson codec.

    I don't understand what the big stink is about. I would personally be happy with a binary-only codec. Anyway, I think this matter is not with apple, but rather with the folks that make the sorenson codec.

  15. Re:Maybe we'll see more of this on MandrakeSoft Buys Bochs, LGPLs It · · Score: 2

    QT is themable.

    KDE2.0 adds makes it easier to theme. (with their theme engine -- allowing gradients and such.)

    As for C++, some would say that it is a benefit.

    Besides, there _are_ bindings for perl and python. There also exists some C bindings, but they are for an old version of QT.

    Once you bring KDE's xmlrpc stuff into the picture, any language can be used.

    With any pre-alpha software, you have to expect stuff to break. The entire I/O subsystem and html widget were just overhauled.
