    is there a standard in the accounting world?
    There is QBXML which is the open XML format that QuickBooks uses. They also release a nice SDK, tho not sure how helpful that is to Linux developers.

    The OSCommerce contribution, Quickbooks Import QBI plugs directly into this... I'm certain it wouldn't be that difficult (for an adept programmer) to plug GC into QB via QBXML. lol, thats alot of acronyms.
  4. Re:I know what to do... on Gangs on the Internet · · Score: 0

    my question is WTF do witches and devil worshippers have to do with Al-Quada and violent gangs?

    ...market will dig such a deep hole that it doesn't react until the shit hits the fan.


    Agreed... but then that leads to the question: How do we know when the shit has hit the fan?
  6. Re:probably on Microsoft's list of next important on Apache down, IIS up · · Score: 2, Informative

    Perhaps the growing demand/use of asp based web apps has something to do with the marketshare growth as well.

    I know that personally, i'd host my asp apps on a Linux box if chillisoft was more common, but it's tricky to find a host with decent support, and all the features needed to run an asp or asp.net.

  7. Re:Backwards into time... on Two-Tier Internet & The End of Freedom of Speech · · Score: 0

    In other words, you have to have more resources to publish information, which is how existing print media has always worked.

    And look how well that's worked out, with a few major media companies profiting off of everything via the 'trickle-up' effect.

    We forget about the greatest NAV bug-fix of them all...

    What i'd like to see is a dual core video card where 1 processor handles the only the physics, the other handles everything else.

  12. Re:All I really need to know on What Really Happened with Mambo? · · Score: 0

    the core developers left Mambo and are building Joomla.
    Your best bet is to backup your Mambo DB and switch while they're still compatible

    Right now is a good time to switch, in the future the differences will be too great to make it a simple task.

    Also, that worm affected the mambo 4.5.x branch was patched in Joomla 1.05 but not in Mambo (afaik)

  13. Re:Or not? on Give Mac Explorer to the People? · · Score: 0

    i give you +1 for effort, but perhaps using a source other than the Mozilla foundation would hold a stronger argument?
    Any official MS guru's know the answers to these questions out there?

    why's IE so big (technically, not speculatively) and what hooks / calls are really going on between it and the kernel32.dll??

    also, if it's the Mac version we're talking about, why would any of these calls be present anyway? (commented out or otherwise)

    he was answering a legit question. i found it quite informative.

  19. Re:Does it tell you how to upgrade PHP? on PHP 5 Recipes · · Score: 0

    he certainly brought something to the table

    in case you missed it, he pointed out that there are other package managers to use.
    i prefer apt-get personally. Emerge is ok, but the same commands with rpm just comes off ugly and unnatural

    apt-get install $packagename
    rpm -Uvh ./path/to/package/$packagename.rpm


    imho, apt-get is like butter, where rpm feels more like a hammer

  22. Re:command line on Fedora Directory Server 1.0 Released! · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Don't people who do write software want people who don't know how to write it to still use it?

    I'm a typical web admin, so can i really afford to take time to write all the scripts to make this work? Hell no.
    that said, do i still want to use it? ABSOLUTELY!
    Don't know how to code? LEARN

    just brilliant. What a great way to entice the MS users of the world to switch ro an FOSS solution! Fanatical support from people who care! /sarcasm

    I ran it on my inspiron 8200 (p4-1.6ghz, 256mb ram, nvidia geforce2 go 32mb) with ubuntu-breezy ar 1024x768 and was floored by the 50+ FPS steady. It peaked around 70 at one point.
    having been used to almost no games working decently under linux, this is a breath of fresh air.

    This actually inspired me to pick up Cedega and try out just about every game i own, with interesting results. It's about time gaming got decent for linux!
