I am still looking for a Ruby IDE on either Linux or Windows. May be I am looking for what does not esist, but my sense of an IDE is something like Access/VB for Microsoft's Jet Database Engine.
Here, we simply drag and drop then program the logic behind all those widgets we've dragged onto the form. I also looked for something in relation to Python but could not find anything! I taught VB myself using this method. Current IDEs I have looked at make things confusing. Am I looking for what does not exist? Hope not!
> "The Sustainable Development Commission (SDC) report says doubling nuclear capacity would make only a small impact on reducing carbon emissions by 2035.
What about trippling the nuclear capacity? What about quadrupling the capacity? That should have an impact surely.
...All this is a product of Mr. Bush's [mis]management or the lack of it. I feel saddened and helpless since I cannot do anything significant about it now.
Those folks at KDE/KOffice actually listen to user input or criticisms. That's good. So I'd like them to solve this issue once and for all.
The issue is to do with fonts. I'd like to have a situation where the entire KDE desktop respects fonts selected by the still missing font manager. Right now, we have two areas where fonts can be configured and these are not [neccessarily] respected by all KDE apps! A wish issue has already been submitted.
> If you think the United States economy looks like that of the third world, I invite you to leave the coma of your comfort and visit a third world country.
Let me tell you something:
When all the money being spent or a substantial amount of money to be spent MUST be borrowed from foreign governments/institutions, that looks like the third world. It has nothing to do with size at all. And that is the USA.
China, Russia, Japan and the EU now help us with our balance of payments. That's a [sad] fact. It was even speculated that China could punish us just by being stubborn by refusing to cooperate. This is exactly what the USA used to do to the 3rd world countries that it used to support financially. This time, the countries I mention above could do the same to us.
Now that sounds like the 3rd world. Do not let the skyscrappers and highways fool you. This country is sinking in debt and mismanagement. The bad thing is that it will get worse before it gets any better.
...well, that we are beginning to see the fruits of [president] Bush's mismanagement. Remember that he changed a budget surplus of almost US$ 480 billion into the greatest deficit America has ever faced.
I guess our economy is beginning to look like that of a third world country! I'd like a slashdotter to tell me what this president has done right for our country. Just one thing.
Why do I say that? Because history teaches us that machines cannot neccessarily deliver victory during a war. In Iraq, IEDs are giving us havoc. The 1967 Israel war with the Arabs was won by Israel because they (the Israelis) destroyed almost all enemy tanks and APCs rendering the troops immobile! This robot would not survive an IED or landmine at all.
I am afraid it might be an example of the so called white elephant. Sadly, we in America have many of these.
NASA continues to surprise me...I guess it should not be a surprise anymore. When ever there is going to be a shuttle flight, all American big media converges to the launch scene.
On the other hand, the Russians just do their thing with little or no media attention. With their way of doing things, they have achieved a lot with so little. NASA just "mis-used" US$ 2.9 billion allocated last year according to some sources yet among the fruits of this investment will be the constant worry whether things will go right! Think about that for a second.
Do not be surprised when the Russians do something as they have always done over the last decade. No wonder they are still the most viable vehicle to the ISS now.
How is the speed? I mean, do the applications you run on this setup feel snappy? What about printing and storage? I know this is possible, but would like you to shade some light on your environment. One thing I know is that you sre saving something in power consumption. Are these 500 PCs booting off a single server? Is multimedia (listening to streaming media) possible? Please shade some light. Thanx.
...to delve into Ruby. I was kind of tired of trying other tutorials (mainly from the internet) as I fouind them incomplete and sincerely wanting. Thanks to slashdot for the link.
Same to me. What really relevant new feature does Vista have to offer? How will my life be better if I abandon the current Windows XP for this Vista stuff? I doubt there is any compelling reason.
I have no sorrow for all those so called pundits/analysts and others. All they want is an avenue to be able to speculate after being provided with some data. How come they were not able to predict and prevent the ENRON scandle? Let then leave Google alone, after all, this America.
I predict that even with this complaint, M$ will buy time if it turns into a suit. This buying of time has worked well for M$ in the past. They (M$) will require clarifications, will complain and submit incomplete information as time goes by. By the time any verdict is made, it will have no teeth!
Remember we started the present suit against M$ in 2001...5 years later we see no change!
I am wondering why. IS it because they (Yahoo) "respect" Muslims and wouldn't want to "offend" their religion? We all know about the cartoon saga. For those who do not know, Allah is God in Arabic. Arabis is the language the Quaran was [originally] written in.
Or do Yahoo fear losing revenue from Muslim countries...or do they fear a bomb?
The office application EI Office http://www.evermoresw.com/weben/index.jsp and open source the code. It is better than anything in the OSS world and even faster then OpenOffice.org 2.0.
If this ever happened Linux will have got a leg in the Office suite world.
While I appreciate the efforts of hackers to bring the cutting edge Multimedia experience to Linux, I always find the interfaces to programs used to play audio/video on Linux very wanting.
In some of the cases, a choice of different engines for use is provided. Sometimes, a change in an engine will crash the app! And there is no easy way to know this choice even exists.
I'd rather have the current flash technology improved as compared to that mechanical technology. I thought that's where we were heading. I guess I was wrong.
This could be a good thing for the citizens and a nightmare for governments that try to censor the internet.
On a side note, I have always wondered why Canada, despite being among the G8, does not have a native car name. All the other G8 members have a car name, which to some extent, is a "national" pride.
> Their heads and backsides are studded with rows of warts that secrete a milky white toxin called bufotoxin. Because Australia has no native toads, many native predators such as snakes, lizards and mammals are very sensitive to the toxin. So when the toads spread, they immediately kill off many of the region's top predators.
That is the price we pay for being "clever" human beings. I wonder why on one hand, countries like Australia advocate for leaving nature to take its toll while on the other hand, they mute out "clever solutions" to nature's "problems" in the eyes of humans.
Next, they are going to embark on an aggressive control or eradication program. Once in place, they will boast that it's the most extensive and most complicated program anywhere on the globe.
That is: -
1: Create the problem or create conditions enabling the problem to flourish, then
2: Find a solution to the problem, then
3: Boast that you have the best solution t such a problem. That is the west's mentality - sadly I must add.
> Google isn't there for profit. It's there for providing a useful set of services.
To that statement, I say NO! It is incorrect, period. The [primary] purpose of any publicly traded company like Google, is to increase shareholder value. The only way to do this is to maximize profit. Please be informed that Google is not in the charity business.

One thing I know, Windows XP crsahes a lot less than Windows 95. I have not seen a BSOD in Windows XP but had one on a daily basis in Windows 95.
What about USB? There is a lot of new stuff on this front.
On the other hand, the Russians just do their thing with little or no media attention. With their way of doing things, they have achieved a lot with so little.

Why do cases like SCO vs IBM take too long to resolve? Are inefficiencies in the justice system to take part of the blame?
Remember we started the present suit against M$ in 2001...5 years later we see no change!
It also means that government bodies are well facilitated with knowledge or tools to obtain it. But what do we see?
Ignorance as if we are talking about some third world country! We live in interesting times, don't we?
Or do Yahoo fear losing revenue from Muslim countries...or do they fear a bomb?
If this ever happened Linux will have got a leg in the Office suite world.
One answer: SUSE Linux 10.0
In some of the cases, a choice of different engines for use is provided. Sometimes, a change in an engine will crash the app! And there is no easy way to know this choice even exists.
I particularily appreciate the folks at http://www.mplayerhq.hu/ for a job well done.
But again, I fine Linux feels heavy, even on an AMD 2800+ Sempron processor with 512MB of RAM. On the other OS, it's all a snap.
Can someone tell me why http://www.vorbis.com/ is still not that popular?

On a side note, I have always wondered why Canada, despite being among the G8, does not have a native car name. All the other G8 members have a car name, which to some extent, is a "national" pride.
