The site is nice but I'm very far from being impressed. Honestly, all there is to the design is a PNG image with alpha transparency and a fixed background image. I have seen much more impressive designs that are compliant.
Look over CSS Zen Garden. The same XHTML page has dozens of CSS files and the layout absolutly never look the same. The source is very clean too. That website really shows the power of CSS, and it has been running for years. Check out multiple skins, some of them are vertical, some horizontal, there is really variety. It's not just about swapping images.
I guess you just understood the entire point of life;) It works a whole lot better in bars than on the net...
I just wear cargo pants and can fit about all I need in them and still have a few pockets available. I just don't carry magazines with me all the time. Still, those clothings look quite good if your boss doesn't accept punk-style clothings.
Actually, I find KDE a whole lot more friendly than windows. It might be because I have been using it for a very long time, but when I go back to windows, I simply don't understand how/where the options and controls are located.
Compare a usable windows machine (with applications actually installed so you can do your job) with a stock KDE install (where you can still do your job). The menus have a much better organisation in KDE. Graphic-related programs are grouped together, and so are multimedia, development and office applications. Windows tend to sort applications by companies who produced them. How does that make sens for a first-time user?
Windows is easy to use because it arrives with a minimal amount of applications. I have to admit that KDE might look a little scary at first, but at least it's all in there.
Well, it liberates them from their bodies... Seriously, those numbers are totally horrible and thinking about them as stats just pisses me off. If you ever lost someone very close to you, such as a relative, you know how hard it is. Now imagine 100 000 people having to accept the death of a friend, child, parent... It's a whole lot of pain for those who remain.
Great, they moved Saddam away. Iraq is left in total chaos now and it's only getting worst. I have no idea how they could avoid considering the consequences the day they dropped the first bomb. I wouldn't like to be the guy who pressed the button.
American troops won't stay there forever. The day they will leave, an other extremist will take control of the country and it will go straight back to the starting point. The region is filled with cultural and religious conflicts that lasted for centuries. They won't be solved all so easily. I really don't think we, occidentals, have the right or knowledge to decide about what's going in there. What if a dictature really is the only thing that can maintain a relative peace?
This is just the great part about democracy. A democratic country is 'right' and 'good' because the population took the decision, but in the end, the same attrocities can be made. From the moment a decision affects the world, the world should able to vote. I don't care if americans like their president, I can't tolerate to see those things happen, even if it's democratic.
The population of germany brought Hitler to power: it was democracy. Was it right? Yes, I am comparing Bush to Hitler.
It looks great to me. The only thing is that the 'keyboard' map they used is really oriented towards english and is different from the good old qwerty everyone is used to. As a native french speaker, I really wonder how quick it is to use for common words.
It sure looks faster than current grafiti on palms and it has visual feedback. I'm just bad at hand writing, and slow on a palm. This might be what I need.
Even their logo is barely readable. That kind of image could probably get even better compression using gif or png, without the horrible quality loss.
It does not look professional at all, even if the software itself looks good enough. Also, there are very few screenshots of the actual applications (found some outside home page?). I'm surprised to see that from a company that actually sells products.
I have also been using OOo ever since I moved to GNU/Linux. It suits my need just fine and I actually think that the portability of the documents is worth a lot more than any other feature MS Office could have (I havn't found anything more yet... anyway). I would rather blame windows for not running Linux applications... it's causing me bigger problems.
Linux is definetly getting better. I have been using it for like 3 years and, wow, that's change. The wheel only starts spinning. The better it is, the more users there will be, more users means more development, and it will get even better. KDE is simply an other incredible project. It shouldn't take much longer before it's ready for the masses.
I read a few other comments and I'm quite disapointed of the reactions of the community. Most posts simply blame the application for being slow or not being perfect. I just wonder if those people actually made the effort to go see if there was a bug report on their rendering problem.
KDE does not get that kind of whining. I think the amount of useless whining comes from the amount of windows users using the application.
You've got a good pair of eyes! The image is very small. I can barly see a thing. Anyway, the blob you see in Canada seem to be in Alberta, where they extract petrol.
Pollution level does match the population density, it's just plain normal.
Our objective is to enable the Linux 2.6 kernel to be usable for high-performance multi-media applications and for applications requiring very fast, task level reliable control functions.
I don't know how long it will take until it's delivered in the default kernel and some applications actually use it, but it will sure be a good thing.
By reading the article, you would notice that they prefer Evolution for it's ability to connect to MS Exchange and Novell's groupware server. The feature is very important for companies that evaluate a transition to Linux. Since there are currently no viable F/OSS solutions available, they are all stuck with Exchange in most cases.
Evolution is not useful for everyone. Some people actually consider that bloat an advantage, and the application is designed for those people.
I personnally use Mozilla --mail. Don't you just love having choice?
Without changing development methods, you could probably use Trolltech's QT. The licence under windows is not Free, but it's not more expensive than visual studio. It generates native interfaces and the API is quite well designed. It's really meant to be cross platform. Actually, it looks a bit like Java.
I havn't developped under windows for a while. I just can't stand it. The best solution is probably to keep using CVS or switch to Subversion. I would avoid visual studio. It generates a lot of code but it's all unreadable and from the moment you edit it manually, the application simply fails to understand it.
Actually, I also have been wondering how developpers could be efficient under windows for a while. I never found an answer.
That article was empty. It really seemed like an old artivle they puulled from the archives where they changed the intro and conclusion. Why did they end up talking about monkeys anyway? It has nothing to do with the real anouncement they wanted to make. Also, there is absolutly no date on the article. It might be normal on gamespot, but it's a serious flaw. Anyway, the article was just horribly bad. Can't believe I wasted time reading it.
For who want to play the game back and can't stand the low polygon characters, the Rebirth mod changes most of the enemies and make the game look a lot more recent. Trying the mod is worth re-installing the game.
Book indexing sure has advantages. The only thing I still have trouble understanding is how they do it. Not the searching or indexing, but the book scanning. They either get real good contacts with editors or they have a room filled with monkeys and scanners.
Actually, they have been having this problem ever since the shuttle incident. I don't know how this is any news...
If I had a better memory, I could probably tell who is working on it and what it is called, but there is a module developped by europeans that will solve this problem. It will basically bring supplies up and trash down at a lower cost than lunching a shuttle or a russian rocket.
Actually, that's the fun part about Gentoo. The project (and community) is based on the fact that it's a little complex to install, but a lot of fun. If you don't want to install Gentoo that way, it might just not be the distribution for you.
I like the fact that there is diversity. Depending on what you expect from your system, you can choose a distribution.
Don't try to change Gentoo - it's perfect the way it is.
Even this new distribution has a goal. It aims to be user friendly. Personally, I don't see much interest about it. I looked at the screenshots and it looks like KDE to me, nothing more. I still see unix-like paths, and I saw a console. The distribution does not look that friendly.
Actually, I really don't think private companies could have done anything without all those experiments that have been made with public funds. A lot of documentation has been produced and population does benefit from it in some way. We know a whole lot more about space now.
Sure, ISS has some difficulties, but now, those problems can be anticipated. Space is a whole new thing. Having problems can't be avoided.
It really depends on what you are trying to achieve but I used PHP CLI many times to solve quick problems. PHP's impressive function library makes it easy to do anything. Can you give me an example where PHP isn't suitable for general scripting?
BTW, I agree PHP is better at web than scripting. Now back to the main topic...
As always, Coggle (I just need to spread John's 'short' name) used his PHP girls in the slides.
These are far from being the first slides about PHP 5 available. I had seen some from Zeev Suraski 1.5 year ago. Actually, about every PHP conference around the world ever since PHP5 was buildable had it's set of PHP5 slides.
Well, 238 patents isn't much if you consider the amount of stupid patents out there. You can barely cross a street without violating one. In fact, I quite glad to see it's not that much of a disaster. Now if you remove things like using an image as an icon, drag and drop of files, pressing tab to change links in a browser, memory allocation, displaying characters while you type,... you're probably down to 2.
Totally agree, it all depends on how good the communication is between the two persons. If it's not good, try with omeone else. I have had some great experiences with pair programming with experienced people. It's just good when both are experienced but have different kind of knowledge. This way, both will focus on different aspects and make the entire thing better.
On the other hand, if both have totally different approaches to the problem, it can cause a nuclear war, especially if both programmers have a large ego.
I would just take away the three first cases. If one of the pair is not experienced enough for the job, why was he hired?
I'm not annoyed with my LCD because I informed myself before actually buying one. I got myself a Samsung 712N, which has a response time of 12ms. I havn't noticed any ghosting or lag.

Isn't Mandrake friendly enough?

Why not use Java? Probably didn't feel like it.
Does it run Linux? Yes, where else would you expect GTK# to run?
I will ignore a few here...

But if all kids playing extend the 802.11b network and allow me to connect with my laptop from anywhere, I totally agree and support Nintendo!
