congratulations on both the chance and vision. i think this is a great opportunity to tap into opensource community as well as using this as an advertising. geek opensource museum ! i would almost visit spain for such a thing alone;) personally, i would stay away from proprietary tech like flash. you wouldn't want to get into trouble because of some choices adobe makes in the next version or simply because you stumble upon a bug in the current one. i actually have photos of a museum system that was based on windows... where i managed semi-accidentally to break outside of their application, wander around the hard disk and in the end i think i crashed the app as well. semi-accidentally meaning that i accidentally stumbled upon a path outside of it, and then i got curious:) i also have a bunch of photos with other windows popups and errors from other systems they had. at least when using linux, most visitors would not recognise error messages being the same they have at home, so it won't look as lame. hopefully.
i'm actually surprised about how many developers and it people who are fans of chrome do not know that it originated from konqueror. as for the gtk choice, that seems to be a pretty huge mistake, as choosing qt would indeed have brought them many, many benefits. would be interesting to find out what the real reason for this choice was - maybe some politics regarding mobile devices and their toolkits/operating systems ?
you could only say that rdp is the best if you haven't heard of nx. building on top of x, it is really, really great. and with the added coverage that neatx (google developed nx server) brought, i'm surprised you don't know about it... http://www.nomachine.com/.
exactly. http://www.openstreetmap.org/ project has massive amounts of gpx tracks uploaded from all over the world, and i think that would be a wonderful source of information for these people.
as i mentioned before, the list has been received less than favourably in opensource circles. the view has been that you have chosen people who actually do not help or even are really influential in opensource, just a club of some sociophats who try to get more money out of the opensource by twisting it.
i don't have a boilerplate advice for you - but maybe concentrating next time on people who actually believe and _do_ real free/opensource software would help somewhat. now what does that mean ? looking at people who really produce completely free and opensource software, not ones who just use it as a marketing method and a thing to exploit. while they might seem influential at the first glance, they do not get much love and long life in the theatre. wondering why.
just a couple of days ago i heard somewhat known person in opensource community (and as it turns out, an extremely nice guy) comment on such a list - most likely the same one. he said something along the lines on "they just asked some guys with financial interest in all this, but who actually do not care or have any idea what open source or free software actually means, name somebody - so they just named each other".
looking at the list, i find very few arguments against that.
my... i don't know, probably close to 10 years old machine gas p3 (733 mhz) and 512 mb of ram (maxed out). it is adequate for web browsing, documents, runs ufo:ai... oh, and it has slackware-current. the only case where it is not adequate - stiching panoramas from a bunch of 3+mb images.
now tell me again, at what ram your next box will start ?
which page ? seriously, i was interested in that article, but 8 pages ? i opened it to look for 'printable' version, then closed when i did not find one. such 8 short pages is just plain stupid.
would it have xp downgrade rights then ? on a more serious note... microscope ? run by windows ? really, hitachi, how could you come up with something like that ? such suggestion before the product would get quite some funny mods not only on slashdot.
i think here two issues are confused. it's not stealing - as you said, he has actually done the job for them, for free, and better. stealing would be like robbing govt office because that's "ok", or like everybody in soviet union had shiny and nice buckets except the collective ones - state was a thing you didn't mess with, but you took as much as you could from it.
using such sounds on a regular basis will make you less likely to get up, and eventually it would become just another alarm sound. we'll see how well that helps you when real leopard will approach !
on the other hand, it's trivial to set up computers like these to have locations writable by users to be mounted noexec. that would deal with 99% of user initiated attack vectors.
nx is much better than vnc - it's MUCH faster. on the other hand, it is one of the most error prone and hard to set up software, so you're stuffed anyway...
come over at irc or forum for http://ufoai.sourceforge.net/ - while there is not enough developer interest in usability improvement (my personal opinion), maybe we can work together;)
are you unable to communicate in a reasonable way and handle arguments ? your post reads like gibberish. if you would want to add speed limit data to osm that _is not encumbered_, i'm sure that would be very welcomed. if you want to add data that somebody else can claim ownership to, and which can lead osm into legal troubles, why don't you go flame legislative bodies of your country, because they have chosen to create such a system where information is not free.
now, your post did not clearly indicate what data, originating from where, you wanted to add - i only drew that from "if I used Google maps". if i misunderstood you, maybe you should learn to express facts in a more readable form.
Slashdot Mirror
ok, what a crappy gps is that which logs every 30 seconds ? :) /. - give the data !
and can we get the damn gpx ? i mean, this is
nice, very nice. it's probably somewhere in the docs, some forum or so, but what are the system requirements (mostly ram, i guess, and diskspace) ?
and later they named the linux version chromium

did you read selectively on purpose or was that an accident ?

you truly are trolling :)
if not, advocate for taking away tax money from government.
courts are private business entities in usa now ?
Swimming? Where do you swim? Swim once a week at a pool and you pay more than WoW, own your own pool and you are way way above that.
there are some slightly mysterious things like, um, lakes, rivers and even seas !
Now, it still doesn't work on zip files. I wish someone had written SMplayer with the KDE toolkit instead of GTK+
i was going to mod you up until i got to this. smplayer is written in qt (qt3 for older versions, qt4 for some time now).

any chance those "developers" were referred to as pfy and bofh sometimes ? ...
