I cannot find a way to use a private key file in Filezilla. Some servers (such as mine) require key based authentication. WinSCP3 is a free, easy to use open source SFTP and SCP client. Unfortunately, it doesn't support FTP! I end up using a mixture of both because of each's limitations.
Don't worry, Gaim has problems with file transfers too. Am I the only one here who has NEVER had a successful AIM file transfer when using Gaim? Don't get me wrong, I love Gaim and use it in both Linux and Windows, but I don't like having to switch to AOL's official client every time I see a Direct Connect dialog pop up.
The only downloads currently counted are those from mozilla.org mirrors. emerge, apt-get, pkgadd, etc. aren't counted. Perhaps in the future Mozilla should work together with major distributors to keep a count of the downloads.
Am I the only one who is bothered by the fact that Mozilla has placed a potentially unstable preview release on their main page, and made people have to search around to get the stable older release? You don't win converts by feeding them potentially buggy software and giving them a bad impression of it when it crashes.
I first tried Yoper two months ago and was an immediate and complete convert. You cannot possibly fathom how snappy this OS feels unless you've used Gentoo. I was absolutely blown away. It really breathes new life into my aging P3 500MHz laptop. Unlike Gentoo, you don't have to spend a week on the install to get a fast system.
On top of that, the install is one rather vanilla disc, allowing you to pick and choose other packages you want after installing. Why waste the extra time downloading three or four ISOs mostly filled with packages you don't need when you can download precompiled packages for the software you DO need at your leisure?
Yep, I'm a Yoper fanboy. I liked the distro so much I joined the team and started putting together packages. This is another area Yoper is good for: the entire team from the creator down to the lowly packagers will take time out of their day to help people in the forum. The team also welcomes anyone with useful skills. If you can use vi and run a shellscript, you can contribute to Yoper and the team invites you to do so. No BS distro politcs. Hands-on help for new users.
When you touch this screen, tiny pieces of electricity called ''electrons'' go shooting into your finger, through your arm and into your brain, where they whiz around until they locate the name of the candidate you wish to vote for; they then transmit this information to Central Voting Command (located in India) along with any legally questionable thoughts you may have regarding terrorism, tax evasion or sexual fantasies featuring an armadillo and Wayne Newton.
Well, comedians seem to know about it. Now if we could just get the politicians and the general public to know about it...
Python, prototyping, and gmailfs

Dive Into Python
·
· Score: 5, Interesting
The developer of gmailfs wrote it in Python. He claims it is his first jump into Python, and apperently he learns fast--two days from zero Python knowledge to a working prototype of gmailfs. Odds are decent that he learned from this book. If everything people are saying about Python is true, I might have to give it a go. I can already tell from Chapter 2 of this book that it's my kind of programming guide, so I shouldn't have any trouble.
I was just about to complain about this before I saw your post. What good is a calendar app with an alarm daemon when it is closed? None. Why should an application that is rarely actively used be left in the taskbar? It shouldn't. Hopefully the developers will realize how useful having a 'minimize to tray' option will be and will incorporate it into future releases.
Most Linux distros have vim and a symlink 'vi' that points to it. There are a few exceptions, like Slackware (which uses Elvis for some reason no one can comprehend).
Because having the power of Unix coupled with a pleasing interface and scores of usable desktop applications is a disgusting perversion of everything Unix stands for.
More legaleze than you can shake a Cat-5 cable at. Puts me in the mood for a nice debate on the merits of GPL vs. BSD licenses, or perhaps what the definition of "is" is.
This is completely OT, but look at the low quality JPEG they used for the logo on their site. Right below it, they brag about who made the site. GOOD JOB GUYS. However, some of us aren't still stuck with 14.4 modems, so feel free to use less compression next time you make a site.
According to the article, the free electronic copy doesn't need to be made public until six months after publication. So, the publisher gets their initial fee as normal, and John Q. Public doesn't have to pay $30 to read the article three years after it's published. The publisher still gets to make money, and we still get to read the research WE funded.
I don't like the idea of interested taxpayers having to pay once to fund the research and once more to read the results. To the whiners in the publishing community: boo-friggin'-hoo.
With four service packs under its belt coupled with the fact that most of XPs security flaws are also found in 2000, I think it's safe to say that 2000 calls home to Microsoft too. But hey, once you have SP4 and all critical updates, Windows 2000 is a very stable and secure OS.
It does make it easier for complete noobs to secure their systems. However that says nothing for stability. In my case, I installed SP2RC2 with no problems, but I hardly ever boot into Windows anyway now.
It doesn't take a Linuz zealot to realize that Microsoft does a poor job of auditing its code for security. But hey, they're nice enough to give you Windows Update.

for some reason, 1.0 stopped ofefring dropdown lists of user ids for loins
Hey, keep your loins to yourself, buddy!

It uses apt to get the RPMs.

It's easy to offer "unlimited" email storage space. Text is easy to compress. It's attachments that are the kicker.

I found this somewhere.
Probably because it looked too badass. I mean, check the reflection! How awesome is that?
There is another mod that gives just your pistol a flashlight.

Wow, replacing buggy Microsoft beta software with buggy RedHat beta software. No thanks. Real men run Slack.
