tons of sites that use that matt wright script for a bulletin board say 19100 as the year for new postings... not like anyone should bitch since jwz and wright and others wrote this stuff years ago and provide it freely to us...
Congratulations Miguel. Gnome is coming along splendid and many of us are anxious to see what you and Nat come up with in your Helix effort. Keep tearing it up!
I bought a palm pilot a copule years ago and stopped using it after a few months of novel fun. Still use the software for contacts on my box, but am wondering - are any of you out there total palm junkies, and do you find them very useful?
A friend of mine was just sent a nasty letter from ascap for distributing his own music on his website - music he'd published under ascap, and on a web page that clearly indicated this. He called their Nashville office and got a pretty prompt apology for the letter after he started musing that perhaps his catalog would be better off on bmi, or no publishing association at all since they aren't really generating much revenue to warrant putting up with nasty letters. I thought that was kind of a trip - the 'artists' associations are causing more flack than the record labels. Kind of a trip.
excuse me. what have _you_ done this week, besides attack my despairing ass? I will (without a modicum of pride) describe my actions. Last sunday, my cronies (about 11 of us) and I marched on dealey plaza in dallas with signs and bullhorn and talked to the dallas populace in attendance for turkey holiday about what was about to go down in Dallas. We celebrated the no arrests thing, as well as the amount of interest and awareness we generated at a local bar. My comments are meant to be: a> semi tongue in cheek b> realistic c> provocative
so, speak up, what have _you_ done angry person?
please prove my previous post wrong, through your _actions_, not your response. all of you.

The events in Seattle are meaningless. Diffuse reasons for unity are soon dissipated. Each allied group retakes its place as client of power. Soon all are competing again for the teat and the attention of the mother of power. Only the rejection of power represents growth. Growth is meaningless.
When Starbuck's is rebuilt, it will be a mightier Starbuck's. What does not kill Starbuck's makes Starbuck's stronger. McDonald's is stronger. Capitalism is stronger. Earth rape is stronger. Only rejection of power means anything. And that means very little.
There is no golden era to which we may return. It has always been worse than it is at the present. The present also sucks. Only rejection of the present and the past, and denial that future exists can reject power.
Blank Frank is the messenger of your doom and your destruction. Blank Frank finds no present, even at yuletide, which is itself either a rejected memory or denied anticipation.
Fun exists, but must wither away as it acquires meaning. Meaning is the destroyer Blank Frank heralds. Meaning is meaningless, a function of becoming meaningless.
Thank you. That was an excellent point. Higher sales of their product thanks to no international tax, and higher profits from sales of other peoples product due to some typical microsoft sneakiness - taking a piece of each transaction that goes through their commerce software. I must say, though, I can't see how in the hell microsoft could get away with "charging a seat type fee for secure transictions using the next degeneration of IIS in W2K".
Hey! Would anyone from Seattle care to comment on what the feeling on the streets is like tonight? How big of a protest turnout has made itself evident so far? Anyone there reading this getting invloved in any way? How (or why not)? And to you people who are going on about how no international trade tax is such a Good Thing - do you really enjoy paying income tax so much that you'd encourage an abolition of tarriff's and sales taxes? Think about it. Microsoft is just being typically selfish here. "It's in our best self-serving interest, and hey, the press'll be great"
1. Quality: Mean Time Between Failures should be at least 1 hour. The MTBF for the M11 release was 1.09 hours according to talkback reports (the "fullcircle" in (LINK) means that build reports crash events via a "talkback" component).
That seems reasonable and have achieved this with certain builds.
2. Architecture: Alpha should be "almost architecturally complete". "Almost" is a recognition that there will be some exceptions; it's not an excuse for large design holes. "Architecturally complete" means that all public XPIDL interfaces have been reviewed for correctness, completeness and aesthetics; and have then been blessed by mozilla.org.
Well yeah sure. I wish their interface defaulted to a less color oriented theme. Wish that fonts were more happening and consistent with the other browsers as well.
3. Acceptance: There's a consensus in the Mozilla community that M12 is usable. Ideally, a majority of M12 users will try to live in Mozilla as their primary browser and mail program, ane restart it when it crashes. We don't want to set an unrealistic goal just yet, but we will measure and poll after M12 is out, in order to decide whether it was in fact "usable".
Sure.
Call it alpha! Pitch in, people, the lizard is getting close!
I'd been hearing that Oracle on linux wasn't quite ready for big time yet... Has this changed - is it pretty stable now? Anyone using it commercially care to comment?
Not many people would admit to making a mistake like this so publicly- really the submitter and not you put the 'dropping wine' slant on the article. shit does happen. keep up the good work.
yeah, it was funny- i went to check the current price after i posted and it was up after being flat all morning. by the way, as far as market share goes - they haven't even shipped their retail product - they've just made the free download available, which is far less featured (and only available as an ISO image). Looking forward to seeing it hit the shelves. Supposedly this will happen on the 30th.
nothing about corel dropping wine in the article

Corel Dropping WINE?

hey, now wait a second. that press release mentions nothing at all about corel abandoning wine. it simply says that it will include graphOn bridge for network applications on windows. where did this 'corle dops wine' notion come from?
Can anyone comment on how stable and usable this graph-on product is? So, I downloaded the ISO image and installed it on a box to check it out. The install, was _really_ easy, however I wish it had gone ahead and had the network setup as part of the install. I've gotten used to gnome on the Red Hat boxes I use, so it was intersting to revisit KDE - sure has come a ways since I last used it 9 months ago. This is pretty supreficial, but I wish that corel had made the default backgrounds a little snazzier than just solid colors - assumedly this is going to be many consumers first foray into linux - be good to get some 'Oohh, pretty's' right off the bat.. Anyway, I'm kind of puzzled that Corels stock isn't moving in a more positive manner right now. Thoughts? Insights?
Open competetive markets..\snip/.. better way forward than corrupt or corruptible government preference. H'mmmm. I must have missed the meeting where we decided that big business decided global law. Do you happen to have the minutes from it?
Yeah, no shit... buh-bye State. Hello Money$$$! -/ Hey, I really like Microsoft's slant on foreign trade policy, maybe I should invest some stock in them and get a copy of my license barcode tattooed to my ass- and of course I sure don't want to have any Jews in my closet when the MS squadron come calling, and our theme song is sure nice./- Awww, isn't that great.

Oracle is splitting as well.
I was at CompUSA this weekend and actually saw people purchasing both corel and redhat. Cool!!
I bought a palm pilot a copule years ago and stopped using it after a few months of novel fun.
Still use the software for contacts on my box, but am wondering - are any of you out there total palm junkies, and do you find them very useful?
Well it sure hasn't hurt corel any!
Holy shnoikles!!!
yeah, anyway... big congrats to all at Andover!
woohoo, and thak you!!!
