    I like KDevelop a lot, but could anyone possibly point me to a way to make it work without running KDE?

  2. Re:respect their decision. on Aus. Gov't Considers Fines for Online Suicide Info · · Score: 1

    Lets face it, everyone goes through some times which make them think about suicide as a serious option.

    The last thing I want when I feel that way is to talk to $random_person_with_a_degree, the best thing I can do is to be able to just talk to someone close to me, who I trust, and who has been through the same things, and can understand the way I feel.

    People feel this way sometimes...don't consider it a weakness of a minority of people because people like the GP and I have had the same problems. Consider yourself lucky that you haven't gone through it, because you are in the minority.

    Yeah ummm....you're telling an already depressed person that you don't care if they die? Doesn't seem like a smart idea....

    Your average person doesn't get those kind of talks, ever. Your average person also doesn't burden their friends with those kind of things. And your average person doesn't have "suicidal phases".

    BS...I do not know anyone who hasn't been through it...but perhaps I am in the minority?

    It's not about attacks against pirates, it's against legal attacks against the program creators (ie. holding the owners of a p2p network responsible for its users).

    I'm not saying drugs are not dangerous, I'm just saying that schools seem to portray them as "come within line-of-sight and you're gonna die", which is taking things just a little overboard.

    But XP was based on the NT codebase, completely unrelated to DOS....

    No-one seems to have any real evidence (that I have seen) that watching porn is going to cause psychological problems for me....I could hardly consider it a danger.

    I'm still in school, they don't put a lot of emphasis on how it's legal...in fact, since i was about 7 they've been trying to drill it into my head that all drugs are evil and extremely dangerous, and are all illegal for that reason.

    /me sighes...they don't seem to realise how pointless it is

    Yeah, but with marijuana decriminalized, who cares?

    We've decriminalised it? Sweet!

    Not to mention that kids tend to naturally gravitate towards porn...we're that way naturally, I don't see what the problem is.

    This seems like a case of "I disagree with human nature...but I *MUST* be right, so human nature is wrong"

    Although I wouldn't call it "tried and true", I would say that it is "ok", even if local security needs some work (passwords are not encrypted).

    There were a lot of problems in the earlier revisions (pre-40), but at the current time (78) it works quite well, expecially since it hasn't had its first release yet (it is still in Subversion).

    I've been doing the ebuilds for it, and I haven't found too many problems with it recently. You should probably know that it IS based on the Netmail codebase, so it isn't completely new.
